I hope your plants will do great :) Any closeups available? I wonder how zoomed flowering stage looks like :) Did you count how many flowers you'll have? Maybe try aligning leafs to control the growth?

Oh man, that's really bad luck. Maybe try putting some kind of a net over them to keep them down? I would definitely try that. Good news is that I moved the girls to a new place. Much more space in height, much lest space in width and depth. Oh well... Here are some pictures from Day 36...

Thanks a lot mate :) I need to move them to the new closet, when it's done I'll start flowering. Also, I need to get the top back up since the plants assumed that the branches should now grow faster then the top ;) It's great fun to steer the plant growth. I'm also trying out few techniques...

Day 35 I'm trying to figure out where to move them.... Also I learned that you can and should steer the growth by hiding / showing leaves. This way I can control the growth speed of branches and the top. It's also a skill that one will use very often when LST :) Here is the current situation:

I did ;) Twice, but as I wrote before it decreases the temp only for a while. I'm thinking about moving the res to a different closet and use the power of "the floor".

Do you have any idea how to cool the water? I guess ice is only a temporary measure :-/

I was also trying to figure it out yesterday, but it didn't fit the idea or pictures at the GrowFAQ. This looks kind of weird, but the outer parts of the leaves are folding up. Maybe it's the fan? I can observe it only on few leaves that are most ventilated, and as I wrote before, I have a one...

Day 24 Everything seems to be fine. I started bending them, and the only concern I've got at the moment is that I don't get much growth in height, so I moved the main bulb up a little to get the girls stretch. I also finally got my camera so I can upload much better pictures :D

koolhand, speaking of nutrients and res refilling, I'm replacing the water (~6l) in res every 1-1,5 week and putting the nutrients in a suggested (by the producer) dose. Then every 2 days, when the girls drink up I add fresh supply with water (~1 l) with just a bit more nutrients that was...

How do I identify nodes then? I would say I have 2, but they are extremely close to each other but I fail to understand why do you say I have only one :(

Or maybe I shouldn't do LST? Just cut the top at some point and wait for branches to catch up? Anyone?

Good to see you're getting back on the track :)

I'm using Hydrogarden Vitalink Grow and later will be Vitalink Flower :) Used in very small portions. Day 18 Girls are growing pretty fast :) Here is a photo of my bigger one, Luise: Today I also checked the roots, they look white and healthy. pH is 6 - 6,5. I guess it's a bit higher...

Day 14 Girls are looking good. Luise overgrown Thelma, but she was always bigger so no wonder ;) As you can see on the pictures, they have few layers of leaves. I wonder if I can start with the nutrients or should I still wait a bit. What I would also like to do is start bending them so I can...

I'm no expert at this but if I would have to take a wild guess I would say go for fresh water, ventilate them more and see if the nature is doing the magic. That air stone check also sounds good. I feel your pain though.

Nice looking plants :) but are they a little "droopy"?

It's pretty hot on the outdoors, and the temps went to 85-90F. Now the distance is more like 4" Roots of both girls. Thelma: Luise: As you can see, Luise is a little burnt :wall: But I think they'll be fine. I need to get the fan for res cooling and start dealing with pH. Today I...

The new bulb is 105W. Yes, it increased the reservoir temp quite high. Today I tried to find the water cooler somewhere but failed :( I added some ice cubes into the res, so the temperature went down. Also pointed the big fan to the closet so the air is also cooler. Later I'll post some...

Day 8 So I increased the amount of light. I'm curious how the temperatures will look like, but nevertheless I think it was a good investment. This time I mounted it in a way that I can manipulate the height of the bulb. Had to think a bit how to do this without screws and stuff, but I came...

Basically I can program their lighting in whatever way I see fit. It's the lack of knowledge about "the best way" that troubles me ;) And I do want the best for them. C'mon what made you think otherwise ;) I just a regular noob that tries to do his best :)
