M Im sure you have seen more than a few drips in your life and are more than able to build one as is... but I figured Id show you mine it consist of like 20ft 1/4" line, 10ft 1/2 carrying line, a couple tees and a $15 pump and a 5 gal bucket I just mix the nutes in the bucket turn on the pump and drop it in and let it pressurize the line. Its pretty nice not having to crawl around and reach trying to dump the water in and it works solid + you still get the flexability of not having a timer as you stated above. Check it out in my journal when you have a second if you like Ive uploaded some new pics b/c I just built a new hut.

Mr. Blaze do you recommend fimming a week before flowering?

I wouldnt but I have never tried it as I prefer to do it much earlier than that. FIMming is best done earlier so that the plant has some time to develop and grow its new branches. If you have enough space you could veg them for another 2 weeks after you FIM to get the best results from it.

Ok, first off let me tip my cap to you sir. As many others have mentioned I am now a huge fan of your methods and want to subscibe to your techniques. I've read the three threads you have links for and real I understand a fair bit of what you got going on. I do have a question or two.
You mentioned watering three x daily I'm currently growing in soil and am lucky if I get to water every 4days is the coco that permeable that it requires that consistant of watering or did I miss where u added drainage.
Two I saw a diagram of FIM ing I think in the jack herer thread and am still a little confused it looks similar to topping to me in the pic could someone specify the diffences or areas of focus.
Three are you using the ups for the veg too I missed that somewhere
And finally four I would really appreciate some input from you as to best maximize my new space 4'x7'x14' I will have 3 400 watt hps and a250 and400 watt mh to work with I know it's not quite what you have but it's the power I can afford I plan on going yearround and do realize that my sizes and yields will be somewhat smaller but if I could even get 2 solid elbows every 4 ish months I'd never have to smoke a seeded up bud again, can you help

First off thanks for your comments.

Coco does retain moisture but it likes to be watered more frequently than soil for best results. I water 2-3 times a day depending on how dry it feels. In the early stages of veg they dont get watered that often to help encourage root growth. Sometimes they went for a few days without watering.

FIMming and Topping are quiet different from each other. FIMing involves cutting/pinching 80% off the new growth at the very tip of the plant. Topping is when the plant is cut much lower. The FIM creates a wider canopy with many colas and Topping creates 2-4 main colas.

HPS has been used in veg as well although I did use one MH over one plant in this grow and funny enough that plant has turned out the smallest of the 3 :confused:.

PM me some more details of what you want to setup such as plant numbers and are those measurements LxWxH?

Umm did I cover everything you asked? bongsmilie

Yeah we're back to spectrum...

The sativas I have flowering under the MH are about half the height of the ones under the HPS...

HPS lacks something in the color that makes them stretch...seeking for what it is that's missing...

I used to love keeping my moms under HPS for that reason... NICE TALL CLONES...

Anyways..

I came here to recruit your help...

Every once in a bit, I choose a newb to help, I just like helping as I was helped...

This one has turned into a fun project, it seems that the dude is not kid, and is willing to listen...

Very understandibly, he is a bit shy of having high plant count...

Is it possible you might chime in and give your advice...

I have only done SOG indoors, so my knowledge is kinda limited, and I hate for this dude to miss out, cause I'm ignorant...

If you got the time, I am sure he will appreciate your input... he's got a clean slate, lets help him get greened up, shall we..???

Thanks MBlaze...

Cheers...!

Smallest as in tightest set of nodes with short bushy growth or smallest as in least appealing looking?

Awaiting that response... interesting.

Oh yea and I FIMmed her again, thank you for the advice. I think I have the height to veg a bit longer plus I would like my clones to get up to the net a little more.

we all know mh makes the plant bushier, and hps makes them stretch a bit more, i have found a little bit more info though. mh emits more UV-B, but less overall light, and hps emits less UV-B but more overall light. Therefore colas under mh will be as good or better in quality than the ones grown under hps, since cannabis produces it's resin partially as protection from UV-B, but will be less in weight. Just thaught i'd let u know what i found on the net, some of you have been talking about this and it kindled my interest as well.

I just find it so difficult to justify vegging...

The only reason for me to switch would be to watch them grow and have that experience... I mean, I get great yields... I am really happy....

But that would mean I have to stop the machine... break it down... veg for months... then flower...

That means I go from a harvest every 2 weeks to at least 5 moths without one...

right?!?! or I am wrong?

Either that or I would need a whole other room to veg then flower the trees...

Hummm.....

Nah.. it's too cold to sleep in the doghouse all winter...lol..... I'll keep my room hahahaha!!!!

You sure you don't have a small pot of coco you can stick in your flower room?

It's just for fun...

I was about to say that I was really glad you wouldn't have enough time to come up with giants...lol...

C'mon.. it'll be fun...kiss-ass
