Thats a beautiful CO2 system! Should get it evenly spread around your girls nicely, do you find CO2 to be beneficial to use?

Yea actually I have, But im also not using a a 46W CFL either. I mean all around my entire set up is 100X better and more expensive so although the CO2 is definitly playing a part I dont think its that major. I want to see how we do long term though and see how my girls are compared to yours because thats really the only major diffirence in our grows. Jizzy's next set of leaves shot up almost a 1/2 further overnight though so I think its going to be one of those things where it isnt really noticeable until later in the grow.

My set up isn't too bad, only difference I see is you have a therm CO2 and mylar. Our grows differ in that I'm using CFL for veg and moving them into flower later in life. Our grows will probably end at different times. ;) But yeah, you can DEFINITELY see the difference HPS and the other set up makes on your girls, they're moving along real fast and nice n' strong. They look good :)

Yeah I was worried about having time to top but hell at this rate by the time they hit a foot theyre going to growing like an inch+ a day so I mind as well. Hopefully I can still have at least a weekends worth of smoke dried by my lil brothers birthday present to the beach. I hope everything turns out alright im kind of turning into a hoverer with the girls. Every little thing I see I freak so I just kind of gave myself a rule: If nothing needs to be done (water, raising lights, Etc) I cant do anything but sit there and stare at them. Witch iv been doing a LOT. I dont even know what my new fish tank looks like honestly, Just a glance at it here and there.

Thats how it is man! I like to spend alot of time with my girls, speaking to them-blowing smoke loud into them. (Get some stronger stems haha!) But your girls look great, so I'd keep going on what you're doing its obviously working. I find flowering to be pretty hard to watch for me, so maybe when that comes by you'll get some in-time with your new fish tank (you like fish I'm guessing?)

Lets see. I got a river running along the back of my property a lake about 20ft outside my property line a 55g brackish Figure 8 puffer tank, a 20g Long for my brothers goldfish a 10g breeder to feed the puff and just upgraded my 6g reef to a 20g Long and im going to plumb the 6 in as a fuge. Saying i like fish is a bit of an understatement.

Figured id post pics. 20L is going through a mini cycle and im still waiting on my puffer to get in to go pick up for the 55. Last pic in the bottom left if you look under the log you can see my dragon goby.

Yea that 20L has a lot of work left to be done on it. I just spent $100 on 2 things for it earlier. Girls are looking great by the way. I decided to just top 2 and I will probably do that later on this week. Jizzy (The actual girl not the plant) might be comin up next weekend so im happy. The plant jizzy just gets bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger...Its like the evil energizer bunny sucking up all the power.

WOW. So I got trashed last night and I decided to go ahead and do the topping I was going to do on 2 plants. Did good on one and the other I cut so flush with the branches I cut them in half with the grain. One fell over and the other has amazingly already healed up. Jizzy has 3 identifiable sets of leaves coming out at once right now. They are REALLY taking off now. Il get pics up once I finish fixing this computer. Kind of in safe mode right now...

Nice, maybe because of the agressive cut they'll grow something insane. I'm sure it will heal with enough veg time and come back 3x stronger.
Jizzy will also be a hell of a plant, I'm really quite interested to see how she buds.

Yeah me 2. I think I might set up a clone room...Her growth is fucking INSANE man...I wanna know what crazy ass genetics she has. Kind of astounding really, Oh, Its actually 4 new sets of leaves not 3 I just noticed the 4th.

Okay so after I took my army of pictures im about to sort through and post it occured to me. Jizzy is a super fast grower, The 2 nute burnt ones are 2, And my dumbass topped the 2 slowest growers.

Oh I also wanted to point out all the little crystals on the leaves even in veg.
