Beautiful swisher. I sketched out my grow area and I think im going to have to pass on the vortex because of cost but we'll see when I start buying everything how much money I have. Im on safe mode fixing this piece of shit right now but once I get this done il scan the sketches and start a thread so i can plan it all out. Il send you a link.

dont you hate budgets? honestly i have the perfect , dialed in grow room all in my head ... but i cant afford to buy all the components needed to make it. Vortex, Phresh filter , Insulated ducting , A/c ductboard ... the list goes on. you should post a picture of your sketch and ill post a picture of mine.

I know how you feel. my first grow was with a 400w in a closet. no real cooling. just dealt with the 85+ temps all day. tried to cut every possible corner to save on costs.
but now, after I saved up some money, I got a 600w w/cooltube, 4ft 4tube t5, 4x4x7 grow tent, portable AC unit, and a carbon filter/inline fan

hahaha thanks!! i LSTed, topped, suppercropped her, but what made her so fat was MRS =] well i believe thats what it was haha
but ahh! my hands STILL hurt from trimming this beast lol

heres a post AM I NORML made about MRS so you know what it is lol

How to mrs a plant


OK guys just in case you are new or have absolutely no clue what im talking about im gonna toss this one out there for the people in the cheap seats...

you keep hearing me and JumboSwisher talking about MRSing a plant and how it increases yield.. here is the basics...the only catch is you have to know how to clone a little (don't really have to be good at it really) and you have to have the guts to cut up your plant (not really cut it up but you will get the gist shortly)

MRS stands for Multiple Rooting Sites

you will be basically creating a entirely stand alone rooting structure and feeding system for your plant which will supplement the plant in such a way as to allow it to constantly run with its nutrient uptake going full throttle 24/7 (this will also help with the metabolizing of micro nutes and allow more of them to enter the system also just by design)

all you have to do is break out your rooting hormone and your scissors and pick a bottom branch that is nice and fat and low hanging ... something that would normally make a killer clone

now we are going to sacrifice this future monster clone for the sake of the plant..

you take this branch and instead of clipping a few nodes back and then using it to clone ...you cut off the end of it creating the same 45 degree angle you would normally make on a clone and scar it the same as a clone also... just like its the end of a clone getting ready to put it in your clone box or growing medium

you will now have a branch with a clone end sticking out where the bud site would normally be...
now the same as cloning you need to wet it and dip it in rooting hormone ( powder .. gel ... whatever)
and you will want to take this butchered branch and put it at least a inch into the soil below the plant bending it down into the dirt and making sure it wont pop back out again

what you have just done was make a alternate rooting site for the plant and as soon as it takes hold in about a week or 10 days you will see a sudden burst of vigor out of your plant and you will want to cut your nutes back to half strength

this is the only drawback and one of the major money savers for the high priced nutrient buying crowd out there...

with twice the rooting zone now occupying the pot it is utilizing more of the soil mass and also pulling out locked out nutrients the original root structure couldn't hope of getting so it will fill the plants gas tanks up pretty quickly and will also utilize the new incoming nutrients on a much more efficient scale which makes for less nutes left in the soil ... less nutes needed to maintain the plant at peek... and a plant that is getting just as much as it can handle on a full time basis increasing yield to huge potential...

all i can say is try it ... buy all means prove me wrong if you can... i have been using this technique for about 2 years now since i thought it up in a stoned stupor one night while taking clones and it has not failed me yet​

what is MRS? does topping and fimming really increase yield if your growing a 4 or 5 foot plant?

Oh by the way MRS is Multiple Rooting Sites. Basically we send limbs back into the ground to establish another stalk basically.
