Moved my girls about today, was up early down the local DIY store got some wood to re-enforce the floor of my main cab now ive pulled that grow outta here the hydro system that was in there supported the weight of the plants now its gone it needed a little something extra. Was hoping i'd be able to get a dozen or so plants in here in pots but aint sure now, might have to stick to strains that dont branch out as much, we'll have to see how it goes. After sticking the Rocklock in the main cab i could move the other girls under a 400w HPS in my other cab which will be better than the CFL they were under, ive got an empty cab as well after the shuffle about so plenty of space to play with just need to fill it and within a couple of weeks things should really be taking off, should have done this years ago lol i love this coco and perpetual growing suits me down to the ground.

bit of organisation then jimmy, looking good mate , let the good bud rollhttp://http://www.tropicalplantsociety.org/Articles/Article_5_05.html
Yes mate, getting my shit together but might have to rethink how many plants i do, these rocklock are like fucking bushes man, was hoping for something along the lines of the grapefruit lanky with little branching just single cola girls perhaps strains with a little more sativa in them any suggestions ?, no way im gonna get 12 plants in that cab if they branch this much but 12 grapefruits would fit nicley i rekon. Interesting read that about aspirin def worth knowing.

I know I could read the whole thread, and you have probably answered this question, but I will just go ahead and ask your advice.

I just potted 6 plants that are 10 days old into 2.5 liter pots with 100% coco. They are in my Flower room which is 12/12 800 watts HPS.
What is the trick of getting these things to grow a decent cola.
Yours are huge and anything remotely that size would make me very happy.
I threw one plant in on my last grow and it did nothing but grow a few pistles.

Any tips would be very helpful

Would you recommend 12/12 from seed for a small grower like myself? I just want to grow for personal use only, and i don't want the smell in my house to be too over powering. Do pretty much all strains respond this well to 12/12 from seed? Cause those plants are beautiful little girls :D, i should get my seeds tomorrow got 3 afghan kush x yumbolt and a free g13 purple haze.

hi mate.whats a small grower? what light?.some strains are better than others, good ones i know so far are rocklock, thc bomb, hash bomb, white widow skunk, grapefruit, northern lights, orange bud, i guess go for more sativa or big genetic strain......12-12 from seed is ideal for personal use cause you can be perpetual with a variety of strains running, less elec and heat in summer....im sure the haze should be a winner

Just curious, if i were to do that what lights would you use? Just 2700k spectrum from seed to harvest? And i'd imagine they'd finish faster, so could you keep them in smaller pots and grow more at once? Because i'd love to just grow all my beans at once, i had it all setup to grow 2 plants in 5 gallon buckets. I'm using cfls have 16 sockets.

I'm not sure tho.... I might want to grow 2 or 3 big plants lol, i'll make my mind up tomorrow.

thers a chap on here called stonesour that uses cfl for 12-12 from seed but think hes running 1000 watts.........plants that i have done range from 12 inches to 32 inches so they dont always stay short........but thats with hps, i use a big 250 watt 6400k cfl to start my plants then under my 400 or 600 hps dual spec, my pots range from 6-10 litre but im in coco, with coco its easier to use smaller pots......
