Hey hb great looking plant you got there. If you don't mind me asking where did you buy your screen?
I really like the size and that it is for an individual pot.

The 400 works great in this space, it is 22.5" x22.5" and a little over 5' tall, but I wish I had gone 600w dimmable since I do plan on building out to a larger space.

The ring does work well, I got it at Home Depot in the gardening section, I tried to find them earlier on their site but I couldn't, otherwise I would link it for you. It works great since I like to rotate the plants, and the screen I had before made it impossible to take the plants out to work on them.

Gave them a full blast of veg nutes with some blackstrap aerated overnight, also a top dressing of dolomite lime and some minor canopy manipulation. I am really happy with the structure this time. I was going over my last grow and whilst this one has stretched a bit more than the last, the growth is managed much better and not so unwieldy. I grabbed a couple of cuttings yesterday and I am going to try the IDGAF cloning method. Tossing them in a solo cup with some water and leaving them by the window (under the canopy of the strawberry dream during lights on).

I already have some flowers beginning to form, so I am 2 days into flowering. Now I just need to hope to keep the stretch under control :).

Oh the salmon, yeah that was pretty damn good. Reminds me, I think I will run down and get some more ribs for the smoker.

I dont actually have one..

I brine the salmon in ice water with miso paste and soy sauce for a couple hours. Then I make the compote with diced apples, cilantro, cherries and some lemon juice then smoke on a hickory plank for about 3 hours. If you are using a grill instead of a smoker the plank should be soaked in water for an hour or 2 prior to going into the smoker so it doesn't burn and your cooking time will be lower.

Streeeeetch, planning on switching the MH to HPS tonight. Hope the stretch slows down a bit since I would like to keep her under 2.5-3'.

Already planning my next grow, I will be tossing either a California Special or a Black Domina x Rosetta Stone so I have some Indica.

i know you are limited to 1 plant tga querkle would be a prime candidate for your set up but only comes in non feminized seed form

Thanks guys. My cab is 5'8" so I do have some height, about 4' would be possible giving me room for the container and my light, I am more concerned with light penetration since I use a 400w which has a sweetspot of about 18". They have stretched 11" from the flip and are now 9" above the screen (started flip at about 11", currently 22" tall).

I really need to just build out my closet, I have space to put in a 2x4 closet in my office, I just need to either do it all in a day, or do it in-between grows. So far I have kept plants going so as to stop me from spending the money to build out the room. I about have my buddy convinced to grow, so if I can get him to toss up a tent in his house maybe I can move my plants there for a few days whilst I do construction :)

She is scrapping all 4 sides, a good 8 inches taller than my last grow at the same stage. This one definitely has more of a Sativa stretch to her.

Bud sites everywhere.
View attachment 2756170

I removed all of the lower bud sites to focus more on the top, but did not touch any of the fan leaves so she is still bushy "down there"

Last watering was just molasses and water, next will be flower nutes.

I am about out of soil and need to grab some more. I was looking into it and there is a company that takes organic materials and makes them into composts and soils.
http://www.agromin.com/products.html

Has anyone has any experience with this company? I like the concept, and this is good for someone like me that doesn't really have the time/space to cook my own soil.

Specifically looking at this.
