What would you consider to be solid growth? There at about 4 weeks now and when I tie them down I do it gradually, tieing a bit more evey couple of days or so.

Thanks bro, my first piece of advice for you would be to look into growing in coco

hey man, im about to bring clones into flowering in a perpetual scrog setup, i was planning on using grow bags with coco coir, i was just wondering where you get your coir, just looking around it does seem somewhat expensive,
thanks and mad respect for those monsters

Thanks bro,
I use http://www.nutrifield.com.au/mediums/nf-coco-bags and I get it from my local hydro shop. I like the mixture it has and the plants seem to love it.
It can be expensive but just remember it is reusable.

Its time for the 7 day update and despite my lack of care the girls are still doing well. I have just run out of nutes so they will be getting straight water for the next few days until I can get to the shop to buy some more. I really need to start looking after these girls a bit better because lately they have not been a high priority because work comes before hobbies unfortunately. Also I need to get a better camera.

Wow, your grows are amazing! I know you do clones but do you think that the same trimming technique should be applied to seedlings? When you say you tie down a little every few days, do you mean a few branches at a time, or you tie them all down and keep lowing them incrementally? When you say you pull off a few leaves - which leaves? Finally, what size pots are those and how would you describe the set up of them - it looks like there's some tube connecting them or something. Thanks!

Hi bro, thanks for dropping in.
Yes I would do the same trim technique from seed.
When Tying them I add a little more pressure pulling down on the branch each few days and as it grows I will tie down other branches aswell. As for pulling off leaves I just pull of the ones that are shading other branches but its just personal choice and helps to keep the plant from becoming too bushy.
The pots are 60 litres with one pot sitting in another for water drainage. The pipe is just connected to all three pots but I am going to run a single pipe to each one so I can turn and rotate the plants around the room easier.
Im thinking I might switch on another 600 light to give these girls one light each untill I turn them.

Thanks, pardon my ignorance here, but what is the pipe for - is some kind of drain system? Also, is it just the fan leaves that you pull off? Obviously you get great results so I'm not questioning you here - but what purpose do those leaves serve and is there a down side to pulling them off? For all i know the plants might produce extra leaves because in nature some would be lost to pests, grazers etc???

also, do you use co2? What are your temps like? I used to know a guy that got 1+ per plant and he said hes temps were never below 85, he did all kinds of crazy stuff - big rubbermaid tubs (like 67 litres) fed them as soon as they had legs etc.

Yeah the pipe is just for drainage as all the excess water falls into the lower pot and drains out. I dont use co2 and my temps with lights on are about 28 celcius and feels quiet humid. Lights out varies in temp depending on the outside temp, I dont worry too much about temp unless its causing a problem that I can notice.
Not 100% sure on the leaves question, its just something I do.

Whatever you doing seems to work! I be the air space between pots really helps thats a good idea. Bro, if I lived near you I'd spring for the co2 just to see what could happen in there!
