:-o



shes in roots organic dirt. GH nutes. all the AACT tea i can get.
under a 1000mh (just upgraded from a 600hps+400watts of fluros)
coming to the end of week 4 of veg, i should probably repot again? i can see roots at the bottom 8) how big a pot should I use!? Im about to throw all my others outside. keep the big and best inside. so waiting isnt really an issue. so think i should go nuts and pot it in one of those giant rubber maid totes?

I did top her but apparently fuck it, I missed! haha. you can see the 3 top shoots. its a little smaller then the others but it just started growing out of the stump from topping it.

anyways Im debating on how much longer till I bud her. I want the most yield possible, so i want to veg for longer right? i have about 8 feet of vertical space minus the light. so like 6.5. I was planning on using both hps and mh during flower. twice the lumens almost. and the uvs from the mh should make them a little danker? :-P

sounds like you are doing well, with 6 ft grow room i would use a 5 gal bucket, unless you want to go bigger and use a 7.5 gal pot. i would put bamboo stakes in the edge of the bucket and spread the 3 tops out in a triangle tied to the stakes. the spreading out of the plant and gradual training will make a huge impact on your yield in a good way.

great idea on using both MH and HPS, the MH is great for trich productin.

your first link is broken so if you can reload it that would be nice and to include a farther back shot so we can see clearly whats gonig on =)
 
i think its working now:) let me know.. i just edited the post. if its not ill repost. shes quite beautiful :)

thanks for the response! picked up the bamboo today. What sort of pots should i get? im gonna have to repot soon. theyre big but i can handle it. theyre in random around 3 gallon containers I have. some pots. ones a make shift 6 pounder protein powder container with holes drilled in it. hahaha. i think it will grow to be extra beefy! plus its sour D.
back on pots. Are the taller ones better or the wider ones better? and coco liners? i plan on keep a couple main indoor plants and i want to keep it clean. so id be willing to spend a little extra on them. also... air pots?? they seem pretty sweet. Id like to be able to feed at half strength twice as often.

picked up a GH Go box today! all sorts of goodies in there! looking forward to getting to try the bio bud :)
