Nice set up bro. Good use of space. Feels like I'm slobbing off that fatty cola in the last bit of the video though.

ayo! been awol for awhile getting shit settled in my new location.
3 out of 5 female jilly beans, ill take that everytime
with these i tried a little of everything, topped supercroped lst and nothing.
in the pic theres 3 ladies. far left i left alone to grow normal but it was fucking up my canopy so i topped her a couple days before flower.
the other 2 on the right were both topped, early around day 14-17 of veg and then supercropped the main 4 branches day zero of flower.
pic is at day 8.
what i found from this experiment , so far is that super-cropping takes up horizontal space like a mofo. i prefer to keep my light (600whps) as close to the tops as possible and if would have super-cropped all 3, i wouldnt be at 14inches away from the tops to the light like i am now, id be more like 20inches or so...
i have a hydrofarm super sun reflector. it is a baseline aircooled reflector..... my local hydroshop guy said that was the 'upgraded' reflector.....................
i didnt know what from what lol. wow how much iv learned in less than a year lol
if i had a better reflector, i think the horizontal spread wouldnt be an issue.
but yea. its a learning experience this run. thanx schwag for your help thus far. im sure i will have more questions next go around. strain is tahoe OG

Canopy looks great man! It sure does take up horizontal space but it makes for a nice canopy of dank with even light penetration. Those look great, thanks for posting. Keep those updates coming when you can! You could probably pack one more, shorter vegged plant in there or stuff a couple clones in there to add to your yield too 
I run perpetual so eery once in awhile I will have a corner not being utilized and I will stuff a clone in there to finish, usually works out awesome and adds another bit to my yield along with an extra strain to chop.
Have they stretched much since day 8? I hope you're finding the training to be useful, good luck with the finish.

KF is not the product I hoped for
Not very dense but trich production is great. Hoping a nice long cure will fix her up. I did a short veg due to her being a sativa and I think I cut it a bit short. The root zone wasn't expanded as much as I thought it would be, she still had plenty of room in there to go nuts. Will try her again this winter Will post pics soon.

A long cure usually fixes up plants like that, I used to have a "Bubba Kush" just like that. But I know it wasn't really Bubba, or anything close for that matter. I love winter for testing strains, all I need to do is set up a grow tent somewhere in the house near a window, and it stays cold enough all winter long, sometimes even too cold, which means I get to add more lights to keep them warm! Makes me happy man, way less stress than dealing with heat. Cold plants turn purple, that is as bad as it gets from cold weather indoors.
Matatan, how are you liking those Jilly Beans, I got 2 free seeds with my last order from the Attitude, and I am thinking of popping those in really soon. Ever since my garden got a devastating gap in it, I've been popping 4-6 seeds once a week to build up a legion of plants to select for my new line up. SFV is staying right where she is, and now that I have my female Old School Kush back, I am going to put her into production. She will be used occasionally indoors, but her and Blue Dream are my new major outdoor crops for next year. The OSK can start and finish flowering under 15 hours of light, that is a nice early crop, she is just Afghani #1 x (Afghani #1 x Old School Hindu) so that explains the early flower time. Too bad she isn't available in seed anymore, I'd tell you to pick some up, great plant to grow, and gives a very comparable product to the SFV f3 actually, but it tastes more like pineapple.

they stretched like 3-4 inches. not much at all really i thought it was gonna explode but its very reasonable. thank you BushmasterCanopy looks great man!

Yes it is. Sea Kelp can always force them to node shorter. But replace your bulb at least every other grow.
