what about a small aquarium air pump and air hose... poke or drill many holes in the last 8" , put the hose in the dirt towards the bottom.

Hello everyone!
I haven't been doing RIU as much lately. Been pretty busy with "real" life ... but here I am for another update.
First, I figured that just because Charlie is a male and has moved into the laundry room doesn't mean he doesn't deserve his picture to be taken.

Catch those rays Charlie, catch 'em!

I also decided to do my final transplant now. I can fit 1 5gal bucket into my grow area without a problem, so I figured I may as well just do it now and leave it. With this, I decided to put a pipe riddled with holes down in the dirt to possibly give some oxygen deep within the dirt. Who knows if I did it right or if it will make any difference, but so what.. the pipe was free and it took about 10 mins while watching a documentary to drill out the holes.
I didn't take pics of the bucket itself, I should have... the bottom of the bucket has 5 1" holes for drainage, and then I laid down a circular piece of screen (like for a window) in the bottom to keep dirt from leaking out everywhere when I carry it to and from the bathtub during waterings!
Here you go...
My swiss cheese pipe
About 2" of soil, and then I set the pipes in
Then filled it up more
Put #3 in her new bucket
An okay shot of the pipe and the plant
Plant is pretty damn big now. She is 17" tall when her leafs arent pointing up... When they point up she is about 20"
I only have about 6" of space left and about 8 more weeks to flower!!! HAHAHA
My stem has bark on it... Like a tree.
Now for some "bud site" shots.. I still don't have urchins but it's looking very promising at this point. I will say that within 1 week from now I will have urchins.... I think/hope.

dude although i agree that the plants grow allot in flowering ...triple would be a bit much.... It really depends on the strain...personally i noticed about a 10 inch growth on plants that were already 25 inches tall... that wouldnt be triple would it...
but i do agree with the new cab idea.... I have been pushing the no space issue since the start.... But he says hes gonna pull it off... Im gonna watch...

Im not using a new cab. Dont have the space. My plant was 12"... Everything changed when I lost about 6" due to the bottom of the 5gal and another 6-8" from the cooltube. It's not a big deal. If I run out of room I will just start my plant into flowering sooner. Remember, this time I was waiting like 2 weeks on getting the cooltube put together which delayed my beginning of 12/12.
the box is friggin' 4 feet in height. If thats not enough for a plant, then oh well.
I didnt mean for it to sound like some urgent deal.. I was mainly said tongue-in-cheek.

Dude you should get some bushmaster...It will stop all vertical growth, stack the budding sites, and force the plant to flower early saving you 2 weeks, because the plant wont stretch. Ive used it on all my girls they love it! Just dont use too much, its super potent!

Good idea mate.
I'll be looking into buying this REALLY SOON!

Dude it's awesome! It's made by Humboldt County's Own. They have 2 other products purple maxx, and gravity. I use em all, and have wonderful results..Purple maxx increases resin development, and enhances color. Gravity makes the bud thicken up.
when I looked at that update header and saw Plants : 1 I nearly shed a tear for Charlie, until you got into the pics lol that is great! You will have lordly amounts of pollen for whenever you decide to "get 'er done!" I think you are just about a week and a half behind me in the flowering, so you are good to go for urchins next week. I'm about to see them coming in within a few days now. How is it that every new gadget, gizmo, and bit of impromptu equipment in your entire grow looks 100% professional? Mine is just ghetto as all get out and I get to gawk and stare at Greenhouse's finest right here! LOL alright man, there is a plus rep for you in the pipes when I am able to give it... Trust me, dude... It's a long time coming! Ya been done earned it a long time ago!
Great work on the transplant!

Charlie's balls are looking delicious. I mean.. Im not the kind of guy who likes balls.. but in this case, I dig 'em.
I need some urchins so I can pollenate those badboys. Then maybe I can remove Charlie from my laundry room as that's not the best place for him really.
I can always count on your for some inspirational post. I'm not sure how my stuff looks professional. I really am not a handy man at all but it all comes out fairly nice. Maybe I need to quit being a designer and start being some sort of builder. Then maybe people will quit harassing me for having "woman hands" lol. Just kidding.
Thanks thanks thanks for all the props!
We WILL get urchins you and I, my friend.

just did some research on all the WW in attitude. turns out it depends wich bank you go with but its an average of 10 weeks. i think the strains we got are more like 40-50 day strains that push out urchins faster is what i think. anyway keep at it man like i said i feel em.

That's what I was wondering. I have heard one other person call them that though...why do you keep calling them urchins
