thanks mate! yeah they are growing up fast! couldn't of done it without you! :bigjoint:
Glad to help man, def wanna see how these girls do so keep me posted mate im itchin to get my nft grow on the go looking at your pics.

@hypocrite420, i would think it has to do with much more O2 available at the root zone as to why the roots get large quickly in certain types of hydro. That would be my guess anyway

That makes sense. That combined with Mr. G's idea that they are growing straight down instead of out wide in soil... hmm I want to set up a system just like that, but I need to FIRST be able to harvest a mature plant in soil before I move on to bigger and better things lol. I have so much bad luck it sucks

that sucks man. I hope I dont run into the bad genetic thing... All my seeds are from a buddy who bred them himself. He is a fucking genius so I trust his work, but yea I suppose anything could go wrong and really I have had alot more good luck than bad as far as growing. Even when I have to chop 5 weeks early I still got smoke and I'm not in jail and still have my children so yea I shouldnt be bitching.

Talking of bad luck seems something is a miss with my leccy usage, it seems i use way more in the day yet i do my growing at night. It aint a little more its a shitload more infact its a mega shitload more i just cant figure it out. Something is drawing so much power its insane, im suprised the leccy company hasnt phoned and asked why i use so much power in a few months that the average household would use in a year. I havent a clue what can be going on here but looks like im in for fun and games i could do without.

man, this is awesome MR. G row. its amazingly cool. hey it gave me an idea. wouldnt it be neat to build one of these but in an aquarium so you can see everthing going on and even watch the roots grow. i understand the roots cant be exposed to light, but is all light bad. can they be exposed to black light or some other wave of light with no significant impact. Or is there a light that can actually boost root health?

thanks amber! yeah that would be good if you could do something like that and see it all growing, not sure if anyone has ever tried that. i have seen someone with a clear plastic tub (sort of see through) whith the same setup but dont know how they got on with the light getting through.

Normally run couple 1000watts for me grow and run at night, bills pretty good really for my grow usage but according to the bill im running 30/40 units during the day (unit being 1000w) and theres just me and the kids at home with the plasma tv on for them, yeah the odd light maybe and the washing machine but not that much from what i can work out. Somefink aint right gonna go maplins tomorrow and get one of thos plug in leccy moniter things and see if i can work out wtf is going on. Way i see it someones nicking my juice or the meters iffy

Trouble is they wanna do an investigation if i take it to far. They couldnt careless how much i use as long as i pay the bill so ive no real worries and although its seems something is not right the actual cost isnt megga dosh. I just cant see how i can use more units during the day when most of the leccy usage as far as i can work out is for my grow which is at night. I just need to track down whats drawing all this power during the day, thought the old emerrsion heater was left on when i swapped boilers but no, that was taken out.. could it be faulty wiring? i dunno...i really have no idea lol. Im keeping track every 24 hrs what the meter says and ill get one of thos plug in jobs and see what i can figure out. Wanna add another 600w in jan but only if i can sort out this shit.

its a tough 1, something must be using it, turn everything off in the day an see what usage it says and go from there, they tell you how much your using at that time and how much it costs you a day with the power you use. let me know if you figure it out

Yeah will do. It could be that i do use more units in the day than at night.....just dont seem right that i use all this power in the day. Tomorrow im switching off everything form the mains and see what the meter does then go from there. Its all fun and games............. i will find out whats going on here.

Im off to take some bud porn pics. Chopping again tonight, hope theres something worth watching.
