right on man, thanks, yea I like the look of 'em like this and it keeps the canopy nice and level so all the bud sites get equal amount of light and keeps them nice and low as well.
Thanks for stopping by

Well today (March 15th) I cut the strings and checked the roots, well they're starting to try and escape throught the bottem holes and already started halfway back up the pot, and were a little on the brown side so I decided to give her a flush to clean up the roots a bit. After I did that, I thought about the time released nutes in my soil, and thought "oh shit!" forgot about that. I'm just hoping all that water don't make too much of the nutes to be released from the flush. I'm gonna be soooo damn pissed if that happens, I've been doing so good so far. Time will tell I guess.......

hey man, i have a suggestion for your next go around, you probably don't need this since your much more experienced than i am, but anyways...what i do to help with the roots is put a few inches of rocks, in my case dolomite from the hydro store, you can also use hydroton, to "air prune" my roots and help prevent me from over watering. This has worked great for me and their are noticeable differences. I had straight soil for my clones and they were struggling and i was having trouble regulating watering and my roots. Then i transplanted them to pots with the dolomite in the bottom of the pots and the grow became instantly easier with better results

thanks man, that's a good idea, I don't overwater, I let the soil get pretty dry and when I water I set the pot in a plastic tray and water the tray so the water feeds up the soil , instead of down, I do that cause it make the roots strech out and look for the water and gives a healthy root system. I flushed to day cause I was noticing some twisting of the lower leafs and I know from experience that MG nutes leaves alot of salt deposits, and I like to flush in the 2nd week of flowering then follow up with some cal/mag and nutes next time with a teaspoon of peroxide.

Well since my little lady showed sex on the 6th of March, I'll flush for 1 week on the 24th of April and harvest on the 1st of March, that gives me 8 weeks dead on of flowering, not including the week to show sex.
So tomorow will be 1 and a half weeks exactly of flowering. This is the 1st time I'm actually keeping accurate dates. Makes it alot easier and takes all the guess work outta it all, I never remember. (smoke too much killer shit)

Never tried watering from the bottom. U do it every watering? Prolly keep gnats away too..
yea every watering, it's easy too if you're in a rush, just pour the water in the tray and set back in room and then do whatcha gotta do. You just gotta know how much to put in the tray like for me I put 2 liters in and in about 10 mins (at the latest) the water is sucked up, I'm not sure how big my pots are....
