I have 4 " pipe and only go three weeks because I only have 8 ' ceilings . I run 13 gallon buckets too this only 5 plants

 

[HugeNugsRDWC.420]

I would only do 2 to three in a row with 3 " my pipes are already clogged up and the last two are not as big last couple times

Limited to 4 plants in flower here. Current culture 13 gal with 3" bulkheads and have never had a plugging problem veging from 32" to 48". Flipped these to flower yesterday took clones from my test dummy and cleaned them up because the "room was crowded and for better air circulation." :)

Mine have been clogged up I only have 3 more weeks then they are getting cut down

As soon as I top them I give them a couple days to heal then I put them on 12 s

Was that plant vegged under LED?

The one in the picture was veged under mh until week 5 then moved to the flower . I was too lazy to change the hps bulbs so they have been under hps in veg for the last week. They where flipped to 12/12 the day the picture was taken.

Interesting, why did you ask?

@HugeNugsRDWC.420 have you ever thought of going all led's?

I do bother for each spectrum both have great benefits but the smartest thing to do is to rock both . I would take all that small stuff off the bottom that has not stretch Ed to the top . But looking good keep taking feeder leafs every couple days these systems are sick I'm on my 5 the grow and was never there self sustaining

I defoliate at flip then again around day 21 of flwr and will continue to remove a good handful each day.
