Reduce the vegitation duration by about 20%. Easy fix!

noted. i think it might be too late for that what do i do now though?

Depending on HOW tall they are, you have a few options:

1.) Re-pot it and bury them deeper (Only gives you a few inches, and only recommended with Hydroton)

2.) Tie some string on the top of the plant and make it, over a few days, bend lower.

3.) Raise the lights higher

That's about all I can think of really, hard to say without a picture.

Regardless of what you do, around week 4 or 5 trim off the bottom 1/3 of the plant. It'll allow you to get nugs instead of long fluffy weed.

thanks for the advice kitty. i caged them (all my sativas in the right 3 trays) and tied them of yesterday and heres some pics(sativas before and after cages). from bottom left to bottem right (3x5gal mesh bottom pots per 3x3 tray drain to waste hydro-hybrid): ak47, cheese, sour deisil, lemon drop, lemon drop. check out my grow journal if u have a chance. thanks for lookin. ps all my sativas are around 3 ft(some more some less but pretty even growth)

ok i turned my lights on and raised them and tied my girls up like turkeys! they look good and i also noticed their h2o intake has almost doubled in the last wk and a half is this norm(for day 13 of flower)

How long are you gonna veg for the next grow. You will be pulling around 10 pounds with that kind of setup. I would veg each plant for a month but run two differnt cycles in the same room. So if you have 6 1000's. Three lights with week 4 buds. And three lights with plants that just got put in the room. I would take clones before i put the plants in the flowering room. Since hydro has really fast growth so you see really fast turn arounds. In that setup i would do 50 per three lights. With a three week veg. Since you have a cloning/vegging room you can do a perpetual grow. You could be pulling 5 pounds a month with free clones.
Or you could run mothers and do one full cycle. And veggin for 6 weeks if you wanted.
But if your gonna run two differnt crop cycles in the same room always make sure you have an even canopy. So if you have to raise them then do so.

Nice harvest Kitty.

Lots of trim.Sorry if i missed it but what do you guys like to do with all the left overs?

sudynim: Your setup is fine. Just keep the lights a few inches from the tops and keep raising them as they grow. You should be fine.

Mr Smiley: We ordered Endless Sky and are ordering a bunch more strains from Attitude as well. The Grapefruit Diesels will keep us together until those mothers are ready for clones from the new strains. Then we'll be pulling in the weight, I hope!

Dank: Hash! The trim is so weak compared to other strains trim, so oil is real weak and wasteful for this strains trim. We've been making bubble hash out of it instead using a washing machine and five bags. I keep the oil made with straight nugs instead, its a lot cleaner.

Other than being 3 days before halloween, nope........ What's special about Oct 28th?





Final weight 2lbs 10oz off of 5000w of light. That's the worse you could ask for. Endless Sky and others are already on the way. Hell on earth over soon. Lesson learned, dont grow sativas indoors.

yes, sativa's indoors only if you have 20 foot ceilings, and want to surround the plants in light. 1000w don't penetrate 6+ feet down.

saying c02 not beneficial in veg is like saying that lance armstrong wouldn't be any bigger if he started steroids at age 10. it what you WANT out of it. cutting veg time in half not "beneficial"?

does the hydro store sell TIME ? sorry, fresh out.

*ouch.. that sucks to hear, 5kgl = 2lbs 10ozs i grow sativas indoor 'hybrids/landT/heirs'.. and they always have had decent yeilds (not the best but good enough) --super crop them till they look like old twisted ladies and LST, that what works for me when dealing with sats

..oh wells, goodluck on the next one.

I cant wait for more of the bubblelicious. So easy to grow, such big nugs. Pulled off 12 plants under a 1kw with them and had 4oz each plant. That's the shit I want in again!

Makes you go from 1/2 lb per light to 2 lbs per light too. It's a nice upgrade! I might even drop my price with that much weight.

great thread i'm subd

Hey kitty,

How long were they vegged for to get 4 oz per plant?

@
4 oz per plant
12 plants
= 48 oz per 1000 watt
= 3 pounds total

Excellent work!
