Subbed up man. I just cut my clone of pev2 down to the base for mainlining. We will see. First time trying it. But I think doing it with a rooted clone with 6 nodes already was key. As the first set of shoots were already over an inch long. So all I had to do was cut the center out, and remove the bottom shoots and fan leaves.
did your vipar come in yet ? that could very well be my next light you can spend needless money & I know people bad mouth that light but vipar has stepped up their game I'm seeing a lot of vipar grows here that produce & I have a friend using 2 of them people sometimes gotta have the newest & coolest which might be good but don't close your mind to alternative things you tube has a ton of videos of people using vipar lights they all can't be fake

I'm up & running the color takes a little adapting but so far we have liftoff lol....my homemade setup with the drip ring is working very well nutes are at 425 ppm. Ph @ 5.9 light is 24" above the plant all is wellIMG_2221.JPGIMG_2222.JPG IMG_2227.JPG

I run my lights through the night to beat the heat & in the peak hours of heat I run a water cooler in the space between the tents it's working out good because it's really dry here in the hot season my plant is responding to the led & actually reaching upwards towards it this light is small but puts out good so far I'm happy though it's early & blurple takes horrible pics tents are a little different when it comes to mounting things like fans so I'm going the clip on route all the little details are coming together I think we have a growIMG_2228.JPGIMG_2229.JPG IMG_2230.JPG

I run through the night now on the same idea. But I'm gonna change that up in the future. We blast the ac during the day to battle the beat, and it cools down at night so the ac dosnt run very hard. Where my room gets its intake air that room has a vent. So if actually be better off running during the day when temps are high as it's blasting the room where my intake is coming from with AC

winters I run my lights by day & heat by night to get the most out of a sunshine/ light combo to generate heat this will be my first winter with the tents which will be easier to heat I'm thinking

She's for sure going to do better with the top drip. I notice my self when I did dwc without the top drip my gal would of had a slower growth rate and while with it it looked healthier and grew but then again i was fighting Pythium the whole Grow

this is the second time I've ran this bucket it worked good with the sour'diesel until the heat killed it I also ran tomatoes outdoors in these last year I'll be making a larger capacity unit in the future I've a few things laying around & im tossing things around in my head now I'm wanting the simplicity of the waterfarm but also have a larger nutrient capacity without a remote reservoir

I have a feeling I will soon be a proponent of 12 gal buckets :-)

Edit: this filling buckets daily is getting old!

And also cool to have daily pictures if you run into an issue to scan back to look for earlier warning signs

Yea I started usually turning off for photo
right now is the most boring part of the grow & it has been my experience with a lot of strains that have og kush in them is that they don't grow aggressively until after the flip & every time you top it slowed them a bit so this could take a little bit to get up to speed

got a drop light in the tent but for now I've turned my attention to changing nutes in my other grow to stop the clawing which has gotten out of hand these nutes have a reduced nitrogen level I've had clawing in the past but not this early in the grow IMG_2235.JPG IMG_2240.JPG IMG_2245.JPG
