You just gave me an awesome idea. I stopped using my clone mat because it runs too hot and I'm thinking I can use your bottle cap trick to put some distance between the mat and the bottom of the aquarium. I get success without the mat but they're soooooooo fuuuuucking sloooooow.

Plumbers puddy, i keep a little container around. If you use vegetable oil on your fittings and warm your lines up things should seal back decent

She was pretty much a failed experiment (but not a complete failure as I've learned a great deal). The 3gallon reservoir was way too small. I was having to top her up 3 times per day. When I missed a top up the ppms shot up to 2250 and nuked her tips. Then, the air stone stopped up and I didn't realize it until she started wilting and by then it was too late & 1/2 her beautiful root ball was kilt.

I ended up pulling the plug on her 1.5 weeks early bc the very tops of the main colas were turning hard and dying (too much light for the amt of roots I believe). Anyhow, I started the flush way too soon, again; I thought she was dying. Next time will be balls to the wall until chop; f*** the flushing, I never did it in the past, don't know why I decided to now.

I cut down 2/3 of her last week & will end up with appx 1.5lbs of mostly immature, mediocre bud from that 1st cut. It's still real stony with a decent taste, piney/earthy on the inhale & more hashy on the exhale, judging from early sampling. It knocks me the f*** out if I over do it.

I'm in trim jail now taking the rest of her down. She will prolly all be turned to butter and hash when my 4x8 comes down in 2-3 weeks (2-NL, 2-Hash Plants & 5 of Betty Lous clones) They are all looking much better developed than she ever did.

I'm estimating 2lbs bud & 1/2lb larf total from Betty Lou, it's just not going to all be the dank. Still better than any dispo meds that I've had recently tho.


I post pretty much all of my pics & updates in THE TRAINWRECK thread now days

Yes. I moved her into a 27gal (102L) tote, but it was too little, too late, after my failed dbl bucket fiasco. Now I'm in the same situation in my 4x8. I have a 20gal (17gal useable) reservoir in there, but It needs to be a 30gal minimum .

When I start back up in the fall, I'll prolly ditch the tents & go with a whole room setup. It'll have a 4x9' footprint with 360 access & go all the way to the ceiling. I'll be able to easily raise & lower the lights for some lower wattage growing.

Here's BL's clones
8 weeks since 12/12 flip
6 weeks since 1st flower

They are doing far better
than BL was @ this stage


Main difference & problem
I believe is my cheap
auction find light.

I thinkthat is why the
calyces failed to swell
properly.
