Yeah im completely aware of the stretching.
I can tell you exactly when it happen. It was
when I was vegging them for the first 3 days on 24/7 CFLs.
The dome in the older model HydroFarm HotHouse is 7inches from the top thus promoting strecthing,
check it here
So that is the closest i can put that light in it's most earliest stages, cant put it closer
and it strecthes them out check the first pages of this grow and you'll see
Of course hydrofarm has fixed the problem now and this is their new dome height
Anyway thanks for the honest tips guys, it' only helps me in creating the finest crop

yeah there actually all originals from seedlings, no clones
i didn't have enough time, i set up the grow 8 dayz after
i moved into this house, had that room set up before any
other.
And i was checking the official lowryder grow schedule (50-60 days after a 5-10 day seedling stage for indoor soil lowryder grow)lastnight. and according to that harvest should be a happening this saturday. Which makes since becuase they are definatly lookin ready, ima try to hold out as long as possible but it looks so delicious
thas good- dont know if i'll have an 2ounces but im at least i have round an ounce to ounce and half.
and the ww is lookin bout ready too, ive already decided thats gonna be all personal
Pics coming later

Are you planning on doing a legit grow after these are finished? when I say "legit" I just mean a grow not based on speed, but on production? I understand needing to bang out that first one and A) recoup the costs and B) get off the ground with haste. Here's where the concern lies I guess....you have 40-50 plants or something going here? The laws are going to be just as strict on you as if you were running 3 1000w lights or 6 1000w lights with those plant #'s so you to justify your risk don't you think you should be producing a lot more?
So are you going to fund a new grow room in this space with this first grow? Oh, and throw away Thai Super Skunk...you are WAYYYY off base with that one. Great plan outdoors, but I haven't seen a decent one indoors yet at all. It's also a good solid 15-16 flowering plant. It's not going to product shit for you.

lst that tall ass sativa. youll be happy with what happens. right now she is too stringy and she is about grow through the frickin roof[/QUOTE
Whats up Bro. SS, checkin in on this one.... Michael Landon,LOL
Are you going for a strech?
If not,
a little recommendation from Me. Its not to late to remove a couple lower branches on some of the taller plants.
Another nugget here would be to get a couple Automotive Windshield Sun Reflectors @ Pep Boys or Walmart. 8 bucks max. They would wrap around your whole grow and you could really capture more lumens like that. In return for both of those things, You would see a bud Windshield. What I dont understand, is if you didnt have much time, Why couldnt you have started with clones and vegged for a week. With a good strain, you coulda got a zip per plant.
LST the tall plant? That sounds like a rookie quote to me. No offense, the taller plants are way beyond LST'ing. Its nodes are already hitting the light and its streched beyond any real help. It will still produce some bomb nugs! Sorry, my spelling is horrible.
Thanks,SS

LsR burn-
Yeah man, i know i really need another light in there
and I would like to have a veg area set up too on the
other side but there's two reasons why i dont have a better set-up. 1. Being i'm broke and i spent my last penny on that (remember loss of job) and 2. I dont intend on doing my next grow here, so I'm not adding anything extra
till i move this operation.
And yeah ima go kill that stupid lanky TSS right now-thanx
SS- Thanx for checking in , i'll check those lower branches out w/ my light meter and see if they would benefit from a haircut.your post were exactly 420 when you posted that and i viewed it - badass - smoke some

Ok, I know I'm a nube but I have a couple of questions. They are intended to elicit info and not criticize so please bear with me. 1st, How is 90 days a faster grow? I veg for 40 days and harvest after about 55 days from flower- 95 full days from seed- could easily trim 5 days off veg. Is saving a few days worth the lack of yield? And why 12/12 from veg? Doesn't keeping the light on 24 hours increase photosynthesis thus increasing growth speed thus increasing yield? It just seems like 12/12 from seed will produce less, not more. I have about 25 days left on a CFL grow started in early December and I expect at least 6-8oz per plant-dry. Seems like a lot less work to manage a few really nice plants vs. 40+ 1oz'ers! Am I completely wrong here? Or does 12/12 give the buds more time to develop?
Not to mention the increased risk of penalty from the sheer number of the plants (although admittedly I am unfamiliar with the law in your area). I am pretty sure I would have an easier time convincing Johnny that I am only growing for personal use (whether you are or not) if I only have 2 or 3 plants. Now if you want to go big- I get it, but like my Grandfather use to say "you've got to shit or get off the pot"! No offense bro- nice job. I would just like to see you get what you deserve out of your hard work. Grow On Bro!

Wow, im gettin schoole by a noob, damn that sux. It's al good, I just had a theory in my head how dwarfs grow faster ( auto-flowererz) so i decide to dwraf a whole crop for a quick small grow.
Besides last time i grew a non-auto , it took forever(more the n 3months, little yield). Yeah and i really wanted a fast grow- so thats what was up on the 12/12. plus i have one light and didnt want to have to worry about triggering flowering . and i thought an accelreated program would cut down on the risk of disease or death by over-nutes/ non-flushing, etc.
Looks like i'm gonna have to hit the literature (jorge's bible)again but thanx for showing me the error of my ways.
Anyway stay tuned people, i've decided on ak harvest to be taking place on the 18th, the upcoming thursday(their 60th day as lowryder)

you'd add a couple cfl's in conjunction with a 1000w....? seems like wasted wattage to me

Agreed with the other poster.... dude... if you took like 3-4 plants.... and LST trained them from the moment they are old enough... and then stick them under that 1000W HPS.... bro.... you could pull like 5-6 OZ dry per plant..... and thats only 3-4 plants... as opposed to 40..

realized my numbers where off
and i was really going for a 60-day harvest.
I was trying to mimic the auto-flowwer dwarf time,
using just 12/12. Somehow i forgot about the flowering
time along the way. (Which is 60 dayz not 90)
But anyway i have another questions for the people out there, do you guys that grow in soil "flush" before the harvest.
And is that merely running water till i get drainage from the bottom ???
Answers would be really apreciated

what up hammer,
a good flush is done for a week to two weeks prior to harvest. watering with 3x the capacity of the pot. so lets say you're using a 1 gallon pot. you flush with 3 gallons of water. let it run through. do this a few times to break up the old nutes and salts that are in the soil/roots. try not to water a few days before harvest, makes for a faster dry.
hope that helped.
peace dude
