That was one of the reasons i started staggaring my plants. In the old 4x4 i would have 4 flowering females about 2 weeks apart in growth and with 8 week strains I started out with i could harvest a plant every 2 weeks.

The seedlings were in a 2x3x3 propogator tent. I could grow them to 1 foot tall in a 3 gallon pot and then fill in the next space in the flower tent.

All I did with the new room was add another 600 for a 4x7 flower space and a 3x3 for veg. Now i can grow them bigger but still keep them max 30” over the pot. For best use of the 600’s.

from the bottom of my heart and straight up deep feeling bro,go to you tube look up 10 signs of a heart attack,once you watch that video and if you have any or at least half thoise signs,get to a doctor bro,i was look over because when you have a heart attack it is 5 times worse having the operation i did,simply because having a attack,you then have limbs and nerves and brain damage on top of the surgery,watch the vid and go to doc bro,
let me put it this way,when i first meet my heart doc i almost walked out of office,he was thrashing me over cigs,that normal but then when i told him i had burning sensation when i walked and lost my breath easy ,he popped off said and cigs have nothing to do with that,no shit i wasnt going back there,my wife talked me into going and finish and at least have the heart cath just for safe sake,guess what if i hadnt presued it ,i wouldnt be writing this right now,
i went in for a heart cath,they send a camera into the heart and put a shunt in there were the artery is clogged,they never got in any of the 4 that was clogged,all this was done with me awake,i remember the nurse and crew saying that worked out real well folks and patting each other on back,i say cool ,they say oh no we were just talking about the team,im like what you mean,the doc will explain,i never made it off that gurney to i woke up with 4 new valves built from 2 blood veins removed from my leg,after what they said the doc would talk to me,only thing i remember is a preacher coming in and praying with and for me,then i woke up when they were putting me into a bed and that shit let everyone know i was very much alive,bro no joke get checked take my word

I use 6500k t-5 flourescents in the 3x3 to keep them squat. But they take right off when they get under the 600’s hps’. So yeah, lots of staking, tying, bending and pinching.

When i run my 315 cmh with the hps (can only do it when real cold out) the plants stay shorter and bushier through stretch.

Also some strains finish about a week sooner and much more color comes out of the plants regardless of temps.

I really appreciate the caring and advice bro. But I'm a stubborn old ass and tbh I avoid the docs like the plague... Has some very interesting experiences with them. I trust my doctor bit he even write my prescriptions for 6 months so I don't have to see him. He gets it and knows I am capable of adjusting my own meds. Think he doesn't want me to just go without ever going but that's besides the point. I had a heart attack already years ago... Although that was self induced through very bad combination of decisions. I have skipped out on 4 surgeries but this one for my back I will not... I just can't do the pain anymore and I'm fucking useless in comparison to my younger years. Anyhow ima drop it.

Sorry for the life story in your thread Mimed

For sure. I usually do it a few hours after watering or in this case the next day.

Few more hours since bending. Already had to adjust her main stem down. Side branches poking through about the same rate.



Not too bad for a mixed unknown open accidental pollenation bag seed. But the plants in the room at the time were all high quality genetics.

So here is what the plant looked like towards the end of the cycle.



Just pulled the top down a bit twice last night. Some plants take to this easier than others. Need a stretchy plant. Topping short indicas may be a better technique to break apical dominance. But they need longer veg too so it works out.

Just an FYI. The above plant went 2 weeks in an 18oz. cup, 3 weeks in a 1 gallon pot and now 10 days in the final 3 gallon and has only had unadjusted .3 ec 8.0 ph well water. And can still go another week or two without added nutes likely.

She is in Ocean Forest with 30% large chunky perlite.

now lets see if I can get her through transition healthy. Still not sure what has been going wrong but her vigor after watering tonight is giving me hope that the warmer air blown in may already be helping. :-)
