heres an update on the future scrog. ive established the bend, and now i just hope it continues smoothly. one thing im seeing tho is that the lower nodes are waaay taller than the what-would-be the top of the plant. ive read alot about auxins and maybe i dont understand completely but am i going to induce some sort of growth stunt on the main new growth?
you might be able to notice what im talking about. suppose i will just bend them down come screen fitting time.

looking good man, you shouldnt stunt the new growth, the top of the plant is always going to continue reaching for the light and growing. when you bend it over you just allow the auxins to become more evenly spread opposed to a majority in the tiop of the plant. this inhibits the side branching to act like tops and reach up for that main position on the canopy.
when time comes for the screen you will have to train all the brances though the screen and tie them so that you have a nice even canopy, and dont forget about the top of the plant, thats still a killer bud site, about a week before scree time stop tying down new growth and let that toop rech its way back up, once you feel you can get the top of the plant even with all the side branches then its time for screen anf flip. during the preflower flip you will be tying down and movibg things daily to maintain that even canopy.
hope this helps m8

Here we are. It worked kinda. I used sugar leaf trimmings from awhile ago. Id like to bring up a bigger concern. Im allergic to pot. I have seasonal allergies anyway but last time I made hash and worked with finely ground leafage I broke out in red mosquito bite like bumps, sneezing, and wheezing. It just happened again. Anyone else have this? Allergies fuckin suck.

Ok so today I got mt hands on an extech ec400 ec/tds/sinity meter. Anyway im not sure if I used it correctly my friend is going to help me tomorrow. Anyway heres my results. I tested my tap water and then my well water. Ill just post a pic of the data. Please let me know if these look right. Tw means tap water and ww means well water. Something doesnt seem right as the tds is higher in the tap.

Lil upper date.
My clones in water are dieing. I never did get it right ive always had maybe a 50-60% success rate with it. Meh. Ill try again.
I chopped one of my other girls. I let her go 1 week longer than I usually do. Trichs are all cloudy but look at these colors. Pics attached. I love the color I got here. My temps have about a 20º difference day and night. I dont do that on purpose tho. This time around tho the bud is just visually awesome. I love fall colors and halloween and this is that. Check out that fat stem too. This is one of my first runs on lst. Havent smoked it yet but im sure itll do the trick.

the second post in this thread is definatly worth a read. its pretty informative.

yeah, either way its the same measurment. All PPM meters measure in EC then they just convert that number to the more desired PPM number.
