Thanx for the input
looks like the votes are in!cheerz again
sure is the same plantIs that the same plant?!
Wow :O
You must have a magic wand
She is in overdrive now. Did you perform the Phos wash yet? It is amazing how your plants perform in the perlite. Can't wait to try this
Keep this thread going FlowaMasta.
Have you ever considered using the mainlining technique?
Cheers,

seems as though i got the root rot under control, my next move is a flush and clean the system, it is time for XL, a few days later than usual, only because i wanted the funga-rid to take effect. I Understand the method with mainlining, i myself as a horticulturist think its a little overkill, and a little stressful to the plant, it does and can have its advantages ofcourse, but having the lower growth on the plant is a natural part of its course and also plays a part in placement of hormones and energy transfer, amongst other things. I have tried both methods myself and found than a minimal amount is better to take off, and earlier rather than later, this makes for strong stems over the entire plant and has little stress overall. Overall i found that taking less off gained a better yield and a much wider variety of ripeness and different flavoured buds throughout. Sometimes i've even found that the buds on the very lowest part of the plant can have the most INCREDIBLE terpenes and flavanoids! so different to that under the lamps high intensity. So yeah, i've more than considered, and i couldn't bare to chop my little thumb size nuggies away from their potential nodes.... But if the canopy is CRAZY thick up top, and signs of no light or little getting through, it will be MOST CERTAINLY obvious to ones eyes in the hydroponic setup because the buds will be lime green with little colour if they aren't getting enough energ and this can lead to health problems if up top is to dense,, where the intensity up to will create visual spectacles if the underneath is shaded to the point of no more than a 5w flourescent globe, than a good thinning may have been a benefit in such a situation. A tent is a great place for ANYONE to grow in, as the light has very little areas in where the light can escape, so even if you have a huge plant more often than not enough light will get through, and be reflected enough to get decent buds in the lower sections of the plant, sometimes some leaves can be removed in the mid section to allow for some more light, but again everything in moderation, that the key with most things in life right?
I think a good size outdoor plant would benefit more from mainlining where the energy transfer would be more efficient, under a big outdoory you can literally be shaded as you would know Mo oh would you ever. Your name should be 'MoTheTrueMonstaGrowa'Thanx for reminding me of the XL.... now i'm scared again
Thanx for the vote man! will do! and thanx again for the compliments, always welcome matey
Thanx man! votes are the majority
By growing it sideways, i mean li terally sideways
i pulled the clone over as soon as she had roots and grw the truk sideway, so i already have over 10 tops and i haven't even topped her yet going to be lots of tall witches hat colas all through my tent soon you wait! well, thats my goal! i have around 2 more weeks to fill the tent with green vegetation and already making awesome time. She will be double this in 1 week hopefully, and then cloning time!!! This will be a first for Amster Gold! and a true testament to the growing technique of both sativa/indica and hybrids all together! I am Lst'isng, Topping, Cloning and aggressively feeding this plant, trying to maximize her uptake and get in as MUCH food as i can! she's looking greener everyday now and my hopes are high
