Looking good brother!

I'd transplant her to a 5 gallon set up really quickly. I'd cut a hole big enough in the lid to set that entire lid and pot onto. More solution means less fluxuations in strength and PH plus the extra room for the roots would only help. Just a idea.

Thanx Dr. 215, Ms.Fox, 4twenty4all, creamm, StonerGrower, Racefan
for checking in and the kind words.

Racefan... I just don't have room for a 5 gallon setup, the height
of the bucket alone would put me at a height that would be too much.
I do understand about the smallish amout of rez solution being a problem,
that's why I have to check rez and ph 2 times a day. I am currently
looking for a square container that has more volume and the same height
so I can address the exact problems you've mentioned.
Thanx for the heads up tho... it's a great idea, I just don't have the room.

I'll post more as it develops...

As always, any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Peace

Hello all...

Just a quick update.
Myrtle is growing like a weed... I REALLY dunno what to do.
She's just too tall. I fed and Super Cropped her again today.
I'll post pics after this weekends gigs.

The clones are doing well.

I am very concerned about Myrtle's height but I just don't
know what to try. Any more ideas ?

As always, any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Peace

[flyfishinrock]

[Runamok]

Being a musician with his heart in southern roots, you guys
just don't know what Skynyrd does for me...you've touched
a soft place in my heart. :) Thanx !
( Btw, The Ballad of Curtis Loew is my favorite tune )

I believe the stretch MAY be over ! The Super Crops have done
amazingly well and the clones have rooted. I am a bit too busy for
pics atm, but I PROMISE, tomorrow.

As always, any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Just saw the male ratio, bummer dude. They look healthy though!! good luck with the ladies.

Good day all...

Myrtle is still growing like a weed ! I Super cropped her
yet again today and took pics. It's amazing to me that
she keeps springing back. The clones now have a nice set
of roots and I'm putting them in their new homes later today.
I will post pics of them later.

Myrtle 17 days 12/12








As you can see, I've almost reached the height limit I have to
work with. I've been brutal with her and I guess I'll continue
the super cropping as needed. I dunno what else to do
as I just don't have any more room. :|

The brown leaf in the 3rd pic is frow the very first light burn.

As always, any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Peace

Run, you need to get aggressive with her, bend her over and tie her down... If that is as high as your light will go you are going to have some serious issues here soon. Hook up some string, and slowly start bending her and pointing them they direction you want, it will also open up the inside for better light penetration and air flow. Then you can cinch them down over a few day period and get them to where you want them... Keep an eye on her for signs of stress... What are the temps at the top of the canopy with lights on? She is a beautiful plant..

[Runamok]

Be Irie , thanx for checking in on me.

I foresee having to do something drastic soon.
I've contemplated on how to tie her down more
but I haven't found a solution yet. The problem is
that i have to be able to move the plant to add rez
solution and check PH daily. I thought of attaching
strings to the walls but then I could not move her around.
I never thought she'd get this large, lol. Believe me...
the clones are gonna be massively LST'd from the beginning.

The temps at the top of the canopy with the light on is around
80 degrees...the tops will only burn if they stay in contact with
the glass on the reflector for a good while. I can easily and safely
hold my hand directly on the glass with no problem. The 250w
HPS has saved me in that aspect.

I'll continue thinking on how to get her under control.

As always, any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Peace

Just to add to Racefans post about transplanting, heres an option. once again I 'm thinking check out home depot. In the concrete supply area they have two differnt sized mixing bins that may help your situation. the smaller one is 18"x27"x6"deep =12.63 gallons. the other is (this one is off memory) 24x36x8"deep =29.92 gallons; theyre pretty cheap, like 6 bucks for the small 12 for the bigger one. Made out of very sturdy black plastic. Take a look at them if you get a chance, theyve worked well for me in the past for hydro tables might work for you as a res. I dont know if lids are available though. Good Luck


that baby is a monster, should change the name to goliath lol
