Yes

 

[Arny420]

My bad

 

[Greenadian]

Well hopefully that doesnt hinder the onset pf flowering.....or stress them too much (herm)

 

[Arny420]

Its all a learning experience. I've always done mine while the stretch and never had anything bad happen. Next ones I will definitely wait

 

[Magnumsmydog]

I can help ya bro, I've been through shit, photos way different than them autos but you gotta do things at certain times and it pays off 10 fold, @Greenadian been steering me since I joined and I've learned a ton and consider myself a pretty decent grower now, I have a pretty good understanding of what they want and will do

 

[Greenadian]

Typically wait until bud sites have been developed and the plant has stretched her arms out nicely, then I will strip her down.
Hopefully doesnt have any affect towards the actual stretch......may be some short stalky plants!?

Yea they r stalky little things. Next time will be a waiting game. As soon as the rest of my parts come in for more drippers and the fittings. Im gonna setup my other 2x4 tent for drip irrigation also

Put a 1/4" 90 in the hose above the high water level in reservoir pointed down. This will shoot a small jet of water when the pump is on, and suck air when pump shuts off, breaking the siphon. Keep in mind, water already in hose will still drain in both directions from the apex and must be accounted for when determining pump times. Hope it helps...

edit: The red arrow and horizontal line denotes how far it will siphon down to without an air break or anti-siphon valve that costs $40 and relies on springs and diaphragms

Hey arny, did you use this method?

 

[Greenadian]

I have never tried the irrigation.....would be sweet for any holidays I go on though
