Mine look great for about 6 hours a day, and then about 4 hours a day they look incredibly droopy like I over-watered regardless of if they are dry or watered. Driving me bat shit crazy !

Loo
king great there :)
Thanks Papa, this is my second coir grow and thanks to ghb I'm getting the gist of it
the next grow should be dialed in a bit better I made a few stupid moves and they were
set back a week or so but came back with a vengeance.
About your droopy plants are you giving them any silica?
:peace:

speaking of silicon i just bought a gallon of growth technology liquid silicon for £30.

i often find my plants struggle to support themselves once they have flower on them, i've heard that silicon will strengthen the stems and also helps with the general health of the plant.

plants are looking great oldman, though i think you are gonna have your work cut out controlling them all in a couple of weeks, gonna be like a jungle!. liking the look of the cages on the bushier looking ones too.

Thanks, last ditch desperation they were taking about 1.5+ meters for the 3 of them.
I think I was a little liberal with the nutes but they would not stress just grew, oh well there is always
supercropping (lol). I've never had plants grow like that in 5 weeks, 45 years growing outside and
3 years inside and these girls made my jaw drop. Kudos to the breeder (ahem!) no more "big" seed
farms for me.
:peace:

little veg update.

this round will be another mish mash of genetics and plant sizes, i wasn't planning on doing another run in this garden but needs must.

i'll give these a week to veg and then they will be getting flowered under 2400w, the blue pit will be getting transplant to a 65l pot beforehand, everything else is in it's final pot.

Hi bro, Gringo's look great, be nice to watch the BP grow. My little grow got way out of
control this time, a couple weeks letting go now they're the boss. I've never had plants grow
so damn fast, from 4 to 6 weeks they grew about 2 ft.+. I topped and trimmed the more I cut
the better they responded now I have a couple pheno's over 4' and just beginning to flower (oops!)
:peace:

Nope I'm an organic head :)
well that answers the question as to how you missed my thread lol.
i am going to try some soil grown herb this year to see if i can notice any difference in taste etc. i already use a few organic based additives and can tell the difference when using them over keeping everything sterile so i might actually decide to get in the dirt yet and go full organic.

for now though i am happy with the yields

and so will you be when you chop down those 5ft monsters oldman!.
tall plants can give a great yield, so long as some light is hitting the lower to mid region of the plant you can get good production for 2-3ft down from the top cola. just make sure to take off every single puny skinny stem that is coming from a main branch, after 2-3 weeks in flower you can clearly see what will produce and what won't.

I've been pruning every 4-5 days those new growths are a pain but I keep at them.
The way the PWxOG & CP are growing they should end up over 6', I will probably
have to do a little supercropping.
The only plant under 4' is a CP that I've been FIMing.
:peace:

you don't wanna be cutting tops off this late in the game, that will harm your yield i would have thought, super cropping is a last resort really. can you not take the light up any more?

got a recent pic?
