hahaha... i would hope that we are all high when posting...or mabey not some people lol. But i must say my best thoughts and ideas on how to grow come from smoking so good herb. 
Also will be doing an update some time today with all of the plants and the new stuff i picked up. I made a removable scrog screen but wont post picts till sun along with the girls and how there growing.
Tonight while drinking with a few friends and smoking a few bowls i got the idea to expand my grow space for test plants a bit. I started thinking of how i could gain more hight yet be able to still keep it small for vegging. So i decided to take the top off and then take some black curtins, fold them in half and duct tape the 2 sides together to make one folded half per curtin. I then took some wood and made another wood frame around the top board of the cabnet. I then tacked the edges down around the edges on the top and bottom frames. I can now go from only 4 feet to a 6 foot tall grow space in a mater of seconds, by sliding 4 wood rails up and screwing them into place. I will be going to the auto parts store soon to pick up some 24" shocks that are used for hatches and hoods on cars. I will make custom sliders so that all i will have to do is move a metal latch and the top will spring up allowing more space yet small enough to tuck in a corner.
If any one gets this idea and decides to make a adjustable grow tent slash room. Let it be know that it was started here first!!!

^ Dont think that i could have found a better way to word it! ^
Welll here are the pics that i promised... Enjoy
Here is what the box looks like before you lift the top off to extend the space up.
The scrog screen can be moved from 3 feet off the floor to 4 1/2 feet when needing to grow different size plants.
And of course i needed to buy some neem oil... i use this stuff no mater if i have pests or not to keep my girls clean and healthy.
The girls in there new pots. They will stay in these 5gal's till harvest.
Added river rock to the bottom of the 5's to allow for beter drainage.
I alsways love to add a bit of ocean forest to my home made soil mix, seems to work very well with my compost.
Well thats all for now folks. More pictures of the girls coming sunday night. Didnt feel like posting every thing today because i wouldn't be able to post again for a few days so enjoy this and i will have more pics to come very soon.
Thanks again to every one that has been keeping up with this and helping me to have a bit more fun with this grow as well.
!Cheers!
Very ingenious setup and thanks for the pics!

Hi all, well it's been a few days and the girls seem to be loving there new space and buckets. They are growing about an inch a day now and starting to use more nutes at feeding. I was up late last night and didnt get much sleep so thats all im going to say for now lol. Here are the new pics of the girls... All of the girls have also been topped one every branch. Not sure how well this will work but they seem to keep growing with out slowing down, so i must be doing some thing right. ( lights were moved for pictures, there about 13" from the girls all the time) 
MONEY SHOTS!!!
Wow i like to add pictures, may need to cut back on them next time. Its alot of copy and pasting Hope every one enjoys

Your topping strategy looks like it's producing some nice squat and bushy plants.

Thanks alot man, i have to refine that idea though. I couldnt find the right glass i needed for it so i scraped it. Im working on making a cooler for the intake fan out of a motor cycle trans cooler.
Looking good!

Yes they are, i will be growing them to 2 1/2 feet before flowering them. This is going to end up a huge scrog grow for only 2-3 plants. (I dont know how many males i have) But if all goes well i will throw in the other screen and do a 2 foot by 4foot scrog sreen. Im using chicken wire to get the small tips working then cutting bigger holes over time to alow for easy movement and new growth. Im hoping for at least 20 bud spots. Here grows nothing hahaha

Mean green and sticky is the only way to be

Here we go again.... I have started to train my girls, bent all the stocks over to allow for the plants to spread out and give me what i need to fill my scrog.
Fed them yesterday with guano and peace of mind. 1/4 mix of each.
Looking at buying some better seeds soon but i have to plan what i want to do. I guess we will see how things go in the future. I will be picking seeds this week, so when i know i will be sure to let all of you know.
Here are the updates on the girls.

Thanks for the rep man! Yes that's super croping. All of the girls have been worked on for some time now and I have some to the end of topping and bending. The girls are very strong and wernt even phased after being bent. All the stocks have started to heal very well and they grew a half inch each over night.
The girls will no longer be touched other then misting and pushing leaves down to get read for the scrog next Friday.
I will be putting them into 24 hours of darkness on sat then begin my 12/12 on Sunday.
All feed back is welcome!
BUD08 ladies are trained nicley...should be a lot of buds sites

hmm interesting.. so then i have a ?
i wanna do a scrog but i have 2 separate rooms for veg/flower.. i was under the idea that to do a scrog, you train with lst fim whatever to get a buncha budsites/growth stems to the screen, then when its about full THEN you flip the lights to 12/12?... is this just personal preference stuff? im guessin maybe youre doin it your way cuz theyre going to fill that screen themselves with all that awesome training you got goin on? idk still speculatin over here bro ha looks good

Thanks alot tunes420!
Im actually doing a few different things to come up with the results that i want. I have done alot of reading and browsing over time and figured it was time to have some fun and see if i could put a few different ways to grow together and then see what i came up with. I know that there has got to be a way to make plants get bigger buds but still allow for the plant to stay small. Im hoping that after doing these things i will be able to have a bigger yeild along with bigger buds all over.
I know that alot of times people end up with a few big buds or a lot of little ones and i dont want either of those. I wan't them to have nice big buds and lots of bud spots. I think this should answer your question.
So far i have topped,FIM,Trained and bent the stocks. I think that close to all the makes a big change in re-directing hormones in the plants. (PLANTS WILL NOT FLOWER UNTIL 2' HIGH) Now its time to let them grow grow grow.
A plant is like a child i believe that if you put a child through surgerys and that kind of thing when there young, they will recover faster and won't remember what happened. Mabey thats kind of corny but i think in alot of ways its better to do things like this when the plant is young and can easly bounce back from the stress and pain of things.
If at first you don't succeed, try and try again. This may turn out to be a flop but im going to do everything that i can to keep them going strong and have the best possible yeild and finish to this grow.
If anything else i will have a chance to learn something new!
Cheers!
