My God that is sexy! Is that under a USB microscope, or something more expensive? Cos I need to be seeing my nuggets like that. Trying to hold my 60x scope steady is a nightmare :)

Just been having a look and can get one in the uk for about the same money, which is on a tilting stand, so my stoner shaky hands shouldn't be an issue. Have to wait a few weeks before I'll have earned the spare cash, but I won't have any budd to examine for a couple of months anyway, so no great loss :)

PS - I am becoming increasingly annoyed that the RIU spell check does not recognise words like "budd" and "stoner"....I HATE having red lines under my writing...reminds me of being back at school. :)

Took a couple of ladies out today, so i could get one last good even watering before switching to bottom feeding. and thought I'd snap some pics while they were free from the chaos of the tent.

7 days after flip. The first pic is my Strawberry Cough, and the other 2 are both Blue Cheese

Nice. I always think it's a good sign when it's difficult to see the individual plants, means all the stems have reached up nicely, the trainings worked, and as little light as possible is wasted :)

Exactly my point.

These clones had 3weeks veg, topped during this time and I selected 4 stems to grow everything from. During the transition from veg to flower I tied the leaders to the bamboo in a little LST type training. This was just to promote a little secondary branching. Those bamboo canes rise out of the pots by 2ft so my plants aren't even quite 2ft tall. I'm expecting anything around 3oz per plant. BUT I'm trying to beat the suppliers average of 4.4oz per plant under 400w. It's going really well and based on formation at day 26 of 12/12 he thinks I may smash his average.

I always expect the worst but hope for the best. Minimum to keep me happy and make it worthwhile is 2oz per plant. I could probably chop now and get that from them. Lol.

That is pretty much exactly what I planned to do with my 6 plants, but decided to pull the top 4 down a little, and make each plant have a a flatter even canopy as the shorter stems grew up in the middle. Really happy with it, my first real attempt at "planned" training. Toyed with it before, but never this well. Either way it seems to be working cos I have the earliest proper budd sights in my growing experience...8 days after turning 12/12!!! I'll throw some pics up tomorrow cos I just can't believe it!! I think this is becuase low heat and a flat canopy means I can keep all tops 6-14" from the bulb itself, and temps, humidity, and nutes seem to be spot on.

Really, 3 per plant, so around 12 in total?? That's reassuring, cos i'm new to HPS, and after some nightmare genes and timer issues on my first 400 grow, I was hoping for big things, and would have been more then happy with 1.5 each from my 6 (9 total), which I recon would have been about the same height if I hadn't really tied em down. I recently harvested 3 plants under my 250. and got 32-36 from each, and could have fitted another one in there, had I kept another clone, and that was a lower yielding strain (but it tasted so good, ppl started chain smoking for the taste alone.
