nice bdt! Your info has been well taken. just starting my F&D. was only flodding 1 time during the 12 hours when i first moved my clones into flower and i think it dried the roots out and strssed them as they didnt elongate in the stretch phase. i will make sure i water 4 times daily from now on!
first real ebb and flow pics. what do you guys think?

hey there hx, are you growing in rockwool or hydroton? cause when i was using 4" rockwool i would only water once a day for the first couple weeks of veg more than that would sometimes get waterlogged.. hydroton needs water way more frquent every 1 to 4 hrs depending on you setup heat and so forth.. after using both i say hydroton is the way to go..

BDT thank you. I was thinking of 1/2 strength for nutes to start,but its sounds better comming from someone who has done it b4. I am going to flower at 12 inches and see what happens with this strain. I am going to run 1000 watt MH for the first 4 weeks of 12/12,then switch to HPS for the last 4 to 5 weeks and see if that will keep the stretch down. My room stays 75 deg. day and night which really helps keep stretch to a minimum anyway. But you know how it is with a new strain you have never run b4...lol.

I only have the 1 light. but a duel ballast. I only wanted to run the MH to try and reduce stretch and keep internodel spacing tight, I thought it would give better main stalk plant formation and less branching as I want to grow single cola plants. I know I will still have to prune plant for that,but with less stretch it may help keep trimming branches to a minimum and afford less plant stress.
