i love how you lst'd it great job! and that is an awesome pot lol
what does the water ring do, water the plant for you?

 

[odlaw]

cheers man i actually ended up with 4 colas but im waiting for the other 2 to get a bit bigger and i will tie them to
hopefully now im onto the def prob she will start getting some height she seems to want to grow wide rather than tall lol

yeah its just a ring with rows of holes in it thats attached the a feed pump in the reservoir they told me it was for a drip system but its actually flood and drain i only turn it on for like 2 to 3 mins at a time
they spose to encourage the roots to grow out to the sides rather than ball up so i was/am lead to believe

 

[jebus2029]

Yeah, if you water out around the outside the roots stretch out to get that water and don't congregate in the center choking themselves up.

sounds right...the roots grow while their not feeding...looking for more food...if the food is wide spread, or on the edges of the pots theyll spread that way looking for it...that water ring actually does sound like a decent idea

 

[jebus2029]

Works in that respect as long as the soil isn't completely drenched through by the time it is done. I think you want them to dry from the inside of the pot out so the roots keep stretching out to find new water and nutes. So the less water in the center the better. At least until the roots and spread throughout the pot.
