17 zip is my biggest, I've had a few 13's and plenty in the 8-11 range, my smallest grow was 4, ironically from the same bean batch that produced a 13.

That doesn't surprise me, I'd expect that it would require CO2 in order to work.

And what did that article have to say about it?

Says random inter web troll.

OK I think I got a handle on it, I have a dedicated 9 litre bucket of 900ppm flower nutrient, and I hold the plant by the stem and twirl her around while I use a small jug to pour nutrient into the top and let flow out back into the bucket and I do that a few times per day. Leaves are generally...

Yeah it was suggested to me over 25 years ago by my local hydro guy he was heavily into breeding and gave me some excellent clones and he was generous with his knowledge. The idea being that it's the 12 hours of darkness that triggers for photoperiod. So using the 24/12 means that over three...

I've always wanted to try the 36 hour day flowering, but I never had the opportunity. Why not give that a go? During flowering 24 hours on 12 hours off.

thanks @Dr.Strain

She is beginning to give off some lovely pine aromas and also starting to build some bulk. I have been doing some very severe defoliating continuously and often but I've given her a bit of a break the past few days and she has exploded with more greenery.

OK let me start from scratch. I usually just grow with my hydro shallow water culture and that's all fine. I'm growing in a walk in wardrobe with a space of about 5 x 2.5 feet. I usually have two plants growing at the most because they get pretty big so when I think there's about 5 weeks to go...

That is correct, she air prunes, the plug is completely free standing. The plug is the root zone, the idea is just the normal air prune effect, so the roots eventually fill out the entire volume of the plug. At the end I'll cut it open and have a look. So what I'm wanting to do is try and grow...

@HydroKid239 I fully agree with you straight into a big pot would be good, and it's something I am keeping an eye on with regards to using these pyramids or the larger full size pyramids at a later time because I'm pretty impressed at the root stability. However I'm not really wanting that at...

thx for the reply. Turns out this is more tricky than I thought. I want to be clear that this is growing in a small eazyblock pyramid, that is 5 inches square at the bottom and 4 inches tall. It cannot hold too much water by design, so it's more like an inert media although it does contains...

This is a bean growing in an eazyplug mini pyramid, it's only 5" square at the bottom 3" square at the top and 5" high. This is being manually watered as an experiment to test out this plug. I am just playing it by ear regards to nutrients, at the moment I give her some 500ppm solution of...

Beginning to get fluffy now, this one takes a long time for flowers to bulk out but she's on the way. The mini pyramid test is coming along well.

I would suggest the purchase of a lux meter, you can buy them for about $10 and they work brilliantly with white light. This way you can give the plants the light you want and all you then need to do is keep the light far enough away. With the lux meter for example you might want say 10,000 lux...

I have found that the best way to germinate seeds for either soil or hydro is to begin in a 1" eazyplug it will only hold the correct amount of water so you soak the plug and put the seed in dry, cover and place in a warmish place, it will germinate in three days and you never have to handle the...

I'd strip all those leaves back completely the entire plant top to bottom then you'll be able to have a good look at the structure and make any pruning decisions you need to. You might be in a bit of shock seeing her after, but in three days you'll hardly tell you did any defoliating.

Been pretty much constant defoliation every day and I did an extensive branch pruning too yesterday, I'm not expecting much flowering action for at least a couple of weeks, this is a slow to bud strain. Added another 8 inches this week and I think she another 6 inches to grow. Meanwhile I...

The plan was to do another defoliation in a week but once I began it was hard to stop, so I've been pretty well taking a handful of leaves off every other day, I did a little bit of pruning but I will give it another week before doing a final pruning. My plant in the 5" pot is struggling, I'm...
