So the lights are topped out. The plant is 1 inch from them and growing about 2inch a day still... So we are trying to LST this far into it's life...shit is hard... So here goes an attempt at late scrog...

I'd almost be willing to bet that part of your problem is the fact you fed them grow nutes for so long, and even when you started using bloom...you were giving them more grow than bloom.

If you want to stop your plant from growing give it a feed of bush master. Your bush seems to already be incredibly bushy, but bush master acts like topping a plant...without topping it.

Also you should really save up for an HPS. That T5 setup would be amazing for your veg area...and then a 400 or 600 (pref 600 because the lumens is almost double that of a 400) hp in that flower area would kick ass. Try to get some bud enhancement shit too like Open Sesame (for early flowering)...Beastie Bloomz (for mid flowering) and ChaChing (for late flowering)...

I know I'm talking about spending a good wad of money. But, you'll get it back before you even remember you spent it.

I'll have to check out those products next time I go to the hydro store. Yea I do agree with the grow nutes thing... I am going to stop giving grow nutes and just use the bloom from now on. I am about to move in to a new place soon so we are waiting on the hps stuff until I get moved in. Plus we are waiting from some $$ as well hehe.
I just heard that it was good to keep giving grow along with bloom, just not as much... and the plant really is really really healthy... just too tall for us :D

The hydro doesn't seem to be doing nearly as well as the dirt grows I have going on. I think I am going to abandon the hydro after these 3 finish. In the future I might try some kind of eb and flow or something like that but for now I think I am done for a while. Does the hydro look pretty yellow to you guys? I don't think anything is really wrong it's just definitely not as lush green as my other plants...

I am actually really considering just transplanting them in to soil...

you mean any numbers in general? or the specific ones to the b+ nutes I have? I think the order is N-P-K meaning Nitrogen-Phosphorous-Potassium.

I understand that - Red star means i have no clue what they are.
N = Nitrogen *
P = Phosphorous (Im sure matches have that in them)
P = Potassium *
And i dont understand the numbers at all, im guessing its the solution of nutes you mix with water, but i dont know. Please help

Here this is off of dyna-gros website.
The N-P-K numbers are just the % of the minerals concentration in one dose.

I use a lot more than directed on the label... I use 1.5 tbs / gallon for my mature plants..

Are you using any red spectrum light? That may be why your plant has been in a month of flowering, and you haven't seen any real results.

Just a few soft white CFL's that are hanging... the T-5's are all daylight spectrum. I wish I could find cheap t-5's locally. HTG has the red bulbs or whatever for like $30 for 4. at my shop it's like 20 each.

You should definitely consider getting some red spectrum for flowering, I believe they have red spectrum cfl's? I think it will improve your growth immediately!
