Thanks. I'm sure I can do better. I had another plant in a hempy bucket and was truly amazed at the growth rate using that method. That thing was close to 30" when I had to chop HIM down. My baseline is my past outdoor growing so if I don't get 5-footers I'm disappointed. Once again, though, I've learned some more solid lessons about indoor growing so onward and upward, ever higher and higher!
to get a 5 footer using a 1000w HID you'd need some pretty high ceilings indeed!Thanks. I'm sure I can do better.

LOL. I know. I have 600w HPS and 4 65w CFLs. Part of my basement is dirt floor; I could always dig down a few feet! I can see why people get light movers and top their plants or LST when growing indoors; it's hard to get much light anywhere except the top of the plant. Has anyone ever tried just laying a plant over on its side once it reaches a certain size? Then you could train all the side branches over to one side and there you go; multiple colas without topping.
you are right on nearly all counts! i have noted plants growing towards the mylar rather than the light so i think a reflective surface (close) may help quite a bit. some people do sideways grows. using a vertical light would be the slicker to get light deep down.
I'll probably beat that date - you can learn from mine i guess - though hopefully they will be few and uneventful...mistakes that is. i think taking care of the heat issue is going to greatly help matters.I am doing that next go round (ScrOG) in August
If you don't do it soon, you will have the benefit from my mistakes
Cool...
tons of pics - gotta wade through the journal.
that was a different grow but no - my scale was off. i ended up with a more normal 2-3 oz per plant (6-9 oz total).
i am using regular plastic gardening trellis which i stapled about 18" above my system. I say trellis but it is more of a net.
yes - got a new one started -- about a week into it now. I am working on my journal and pictures. And i want to give them some time to see if they're going to grow well before i bother posting a new journal (so far so good).Hey email, word around town is you got a new grow going? What's the haps brotha??
oh man - don't worry. they just formed their first set of leaves and just today saw the taproot extending below the netpot for the first time.Don't tease me bro!
