ok.thank you for making me under stand brother!because 6 pages ago they were over watered and almost died. the root mass is at the bottom so when i water it floods the roots. i don't want to water until the roots have filled the whole pot. i may water them just a little this evening. just the upper third or so.
I like your guitar vids, also.. what kind of ax you got?

like this .......
just found this thread today.. am wondering, why dont you top that bitch? i would guess its because the plant is already growing slowly, you wouldnt want to slow it down more... but if you topped it, then it would stimulate side branching... and screw making it grow downward, have a shitload of colas growing outward/up around the root mass.. it would look something like a staghorn fern.. like a "bloomin onion" or whatnot
wait.. then the bud-weight would probably make the branches fall back down again anyway... hmm..
this thread is dope .. .
i like to think. haha

*ears perk up at the mention of fdd's guitar vids*
lol, sorry, you know...
I wonder if all plants you grow in the topsy tuvy's grow slower. I wonder if the plant trips out at being upside down...cuz yeah, plants can trip out.

hey FDD, i just had a thought that could possibly help out the crooked growth.......what if you topped the main stem when it got a few more branches on it? think that would keep the main stem straight? then it would put the energy into the other branches and maybe grow a bit faster. just thought i'd throw that out there and see what you think about it.

plant looks a lot happier now than it did in pictures Ive seen before
The only thing Im concerned with is that plant growth is slower in those things. Your other hijack are huge, this one is still really little and dosent seem to be getting the growth rates that your others do.
I know that your immediately think that Im criticizing but Im not, Im trying to figure out why this one is growing slower and Im not there to see it myself.
Are you still not watering this plant because it stays wet so long?

Oh okay that does make more sense. I remember that you had to replant them because they were going so far into flowering. I didnt take into account that they may be in a shadier spot, or that they may be a different strain.
If you ever get tired of the dangly santa berries Ill come pick them up and put them in a spot with full sun for you. lol
i was looking around yesterday for a better location. i'd have to set a post in the middle of the yard.Oh okay that does make more sense.

If you put a post in the middle of the yard you should make sure it has a few arms, and hang a topsy turvy from each one, and then it'd be like a coat rack of....upside down marijuana plants.
I dunno, lol, but when I first read your post I imagined like....you know the spinning coat racks? lol, something like that....marijana plants spinning....I dunno
