Hey Jondamon , yeah i lump it up there and it's a nightmare , i use at the moment 3 x 5l bottles and i have 5 more ready , i mix nutes etc away from rooms , i have just built a new veg room up there and i just dont have the floor space left for say a 30l barrel , i am watering direct to the res and letting the medium soak it up , also means i'm having to check daily , from a safety point of view i dont mind that so much ......

I hear what your saying about safety. Last thing you need is a few hundred litres of water coming through the ceiling while you sleep.

Hehe, I'm into fish tanks and you have no idea how often people will fill up a 200g fish tank just to have it crash through the floor.

Still has to be a pain hauling water up there... Reinforce a couple studs and then find a shallow large bottom container and a hose attachment for the closest sink to fill it up with.

Yeah i have given this some thought , it is a pain but i like doing pull up's on the hatch everytime i go up and down lol ,
The size of container i could get through the hatch im no sure it would be worth the bother , also , when you are so use to doing something , it becomes less of a pain in a way i have never known any better , i will keep building grows above my head ....

lol @ fishtanks ....

That super bushy one is going to look killer all filled in.
Yeah that's G-Bomb , the tall plant next to it is also G-bomb , single cola vrs Lst topp, its normally a really good pheno if i get the conditions right , right now i can run 3x600's +150hps without the air-con , just with an exhaust temps are holding at 24*c when it's 8*c outside the tent, it seems to be fading to light green all-over , but im giving her all i can.....

Looking lovely. What do you think you prefer? More smaller buds or fewer larger ones?
I think because of the new height i have , i will grow G-bomb as single cola's because i will be able to fit more into the space , it's strange how some strains lose bud size when topped etc and others don't , like my Blue Mystics , grown as single cola , they were pathetic , i actually chopped early and threw them away and took these clones, after seeing Enduro's BM's i topped and bent them a bit and they are so much better , very strange , even allowing for better conditions , they really were poor,
I have 2 angled edges in my bloom room , i was thinking about putting scrog nets on an angle an attached to the horizontal beams on each side and then bend them into the screens so i can keep the BM's going.....

you know autumn, fall... not summer
[HR][/HR]

Leaves are nature's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots. They take a gas called carbon dioxide from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose. Oxygen is a gas in the air that we need to breathe. Glucose is a kind of sugar. Plants use glucose as food for energy and as a building block for growing. The way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar is called photosynthesis. That means "putting together with light." A chemical called chlorophyll helps make photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll is what gives plants their green color.

As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. This is how the trees "know" to begin getting ready for winter.
During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. The trees will rest, and live off the food they stored during the summer. They begin to shut down their food-making factories. The green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. As the bright green fades away, we begin to see yellow and orange colors. Small amounts of these colors have been in the leaves all along. We just can't see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll.

So you are saying that late in the season plants turn red/yellow as the chlorophyll diminishes, revealing the carotenoids. So the yellowing and cessation of leaves on Clonex's plants that have a long flower time is completely natural...

Good job Clonex keep it up!

I know why it does it , i didnt really need a lesson from you on my own thread, i just have not done anything to remedy it as it's not really a problem and it can be stopped , thanks for the secondary school lecture tho.....
