I can see that being a problem I think I am going to let them go, if they get to tall I can always tie them down a bit.

I agree with mega. My plants were going ape ahit the first week. 3" a day growth. Kept training but around day ten the really slowed. They have grown maybe 6" in the third/forth week. Even the more sativa JH stopped stretching. Most buds are above the screen but would have been nice to have them a little taller so I could manipulate them to maximize direct lighting on all buds. Might not be a problem for most but my screen is packed tighter than a nuns cunt

It does just look bushy maybe it will stretch a ton during flower.

lookin good man im sold on this method now. Right now im running a soma bed style ebb and flow table with a 240w 6 band led. My plants just got the flip the other day and they were going ape shit before the flip. I mean im talkin at least 2 inches of growth a day. It took them about 5 days to acclimate to the led and the table after being pulled out the dome and they were only 3 inches high now they are easily pushing 12. beasts lol, cant wait for that grow to get done and ill probably use it to fund a smaller personal closet grow and see how much i can get off of 1 plant like scotty. Im going to be low key og about it though and go led again plus it keeps my bills and heat down you know? looks good so far man cant wait til i can pick up my own waterfarm and start in on this method

I feel you on the LED's I have seen some growers have great success with them. They are too expensive for me as of now, I am going to wait for the technology to advance and the cost to come down. But yea I dont understand how they grow so much, its insane in the past I though I had big stems in soil but my god this thing is huge.

Same thgoughts. Ive seen great results with the expensive panels. I tried some UFO's. The 32 nm reds. Pfff. Flowering was week. Maybe not enough blue/white light. When theyre cheap I'll be knee deep in them. Although, I have considered buiding them and just adding whites.

Wow that dude has a nice light setup, once I have a permanent residence I would love to build something like that for lighting, combining LED's and HID lights.

Update: Day 12 of Flower
So as you can see they are really poking through. I am going to take some measurements tonight and monitor them and I will just tie the taller ones over a bit because I anticipate some big buds. Hydro is much more simple to grow in than soil I am blown away and will only grow weed in soil if its a mother plant, even then I can just use a bucket like this. She is really taking off fast cant wait for the ppm meter too get here.

Looking good jb. If you have 2 feet of grow room on top of your screen I would maybe tuck the biggest two
or three stems under (like the ones in back) under and just let them grow. They should really start to slow down soon. Have you seen any buds forming yet? They will explode overnight and then growth will really taper off. Once my buds formed they have grown maybe a foot in two weeks. You want the buds above the screen

No buds yet this is one of the slowest strains to show sex, they just started to form calaxe's and pistils like two days ago. She will probably be exploding with growth soon, I am going to try and tuck those back ones its just so hard to reach all the way back there.

Lol. You should see me trying to get to the backside of my screen. I have to slide on my back under the flood table which is 14" off the ground. Then when I get to the other side I have to pull myself into a seated position underneath the screen with 12" bewteen the table and the wall. My face is right in the middle of the plants and the make
my face itch. It's quite an ordeal but when I switch to buckets all that nonsense will be over
I also picked up a patient so that's another 6 legal plants

Congratz, Yea I am getting to the point where I think im just going to let her go. I have been working out for the past four weeks I haven't worked out in like 9 years so I can kinda balance and reach way back, but I am so afraid of falling on the screen or something. I really have to stretch and tie the twist tie's with two fingers so I can stabilize myself.Lol. You should see me trying to get to the backside of my screen.

Update Day 13 of Flower
She is really filling in even more I am going to add another fan in the space that is open on the screen. I hope she is done stretching she is starting to shoot pistils out finally so I hope she is ready to just focus on making buds.
I found my bottle of Earth Juice catalyst, info listed below but its about 2 years old there is not experation date on the bottle. How long do you think this stuff last for? It smells like it did when I first bought it, and I have stored it in a cool dark place the whole time.

Wow that looks great jim! How close is the canopy to the light?

About 11in I run my light even closer most of the time, I just had it there the light stays fairly cool underneath the glass. Its a giant hood for just a 400w Light, my buddy has a 600w and the reflector is so much tinier then mine I think thats why it stays so cool.

Update: Day 15 of flower
They stretched a little more but I think they have to be slowing down they are starting to shoot pistils out like crazy. The idiot I ordered the meter from sent me six random bottles of calibrating solution, which would cost 60 bucks instead of the 30 I spent on the meter and single bottle of solution. I need that meter though, so the fucker better ship it out fast I am so annoyed never had any problems with EBay before but now all of this crap happens. Anyways I am doing a good job she still looks extremely healthy.

Oh man she looks great hey just a head up if u don't wanna wait or anything there this thing called ZeroWater that comes with a free ppm meter that what I got and it works good. Just throwing that out there lol. Oh and also a piece of growth (very small) fell of last week so I put what little peice of stem I could in dirt and kept her moist and she has started showing signs of growing so another heads up to try with some parts that may or may not break off u may be able to save. But looks great man!
