Ok, just makin sure. No one said skills. He coulda got lucky. Cannabis cultivation ain't that hard anyway. That cola looked a little small at the top that some side lighting may have helped but it looked fat at the bottom. Props to u. I'll even rep ya. I like how you covered your tattoo as well. It's totally almost the same shade. ;-)

:peace:

EVERY1 SEEMS TO BE OBSESSED WITH THIS 16oz CUP METHOD, IN MY OPINION U CANT BEAT 3 OR 5 GALL BUCKETS!! EACH TO THEIR OWN THO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yea but if youre growin' in a 2 or 3 foot square closet, youre going to get a lot more bud, lolipopping 20 or 30 clones in beer cups than 1 plant in a 5 gal bucket

Thanks TeaTreeOil.
Many growers argue on the topic of "Root-bound" is it a myth? I thoght it was true until I found those pics.

Take a look at this: http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=88449&page=1&pp=15

It's not a myth. Every cell of an organism has a certain degree of 'intelligence'. Roots respond to how much space they have available, and grow accordingly. What many people consider root bound is not anywhere near actually being root bound. The plant will 'show you' when it's root bound. Just because roots are coming out of holes in the container is not a reliable indicator. There is a direct relationship between root mass and the amount of (above ground) plant mass the root system is capable of supporting(and the shape of the roots influences the shape on the plant). The plant will stop growing(or be greatly stunted), basically, when that point is reached. This is true root bound.

In nature adaptation is a necessity. I've seen fields of wild hemp, literally with nearly no gaps between stalks(probably ten's of thousands of plants, growing a ways up from a river bank), and they get very tall(up to 16 feet in the mid-west, which is pretty impressive), with very deep roots, but they're not allowed to spread much due to competition(under and above ground). So the plant responds accordingly and focuses on vertical expansion.

Then you have plants like fdd's, which are fuller than some Christmas trees. They have all the room they could ever desire to vertically and horizontally expand(above and below ground). This is the best way, if you have the space available.

My grandparents own a farm where there was a quite considerable hemp industry and the feral hemp that grows along the creek running through their property gets to these heights. There are literally hemp forests. They're totally worthless as far as yield but some of the trunks I have seen are astonishing. makes my 2 footers look stupid.

Yea, have to heavily avoid these areas for outdoor guerrilla grows. They'll make even good weed schwagtastically worthless.
