You called me over here for help with your scrog? What are you talking about your killing it in this place. Lol you don't need my help. Your going to need more water to keep that thing moist! Beast mode. Looks lovely advocate. I'm a busy guy juggling a lot of things but I just may be able to cruise through here from time to time

There must be some hockey fans somewhere in New England. Don't the New England Ice Skaters play up there in the America Hockey Skating Association?

New England you say?

Any ideas why peeps don't take to my grow? What could I be doing wrong?

You're doing fine in my opinion.

I also feel the way to share your journal is to regularly post in others. It takes time, and the more you look at other grows the more you know exactly where you are in the growing game.

I enjoy writing a journal but I have found by far the greatest value of being in here is what can be learned from others.

The biggest grows are not necessarily the best grows. They are simply the biggest. If we all had the opportunity to grow freely outdoors a LOT of people's plants would be ten feet tall and produce three pounds each.

IMHO, it might take a lot MORE skill to produce amazing buds in a small indoor grow because nature doesn't do as much of it. Looks like you have achieved a very fine skill level my friend. Looking forward to the end result!

Peace, Hyena

You gotta sub to at least 10 active journals and start posting. Otherwise hardly anyone knows you're here! Can't be a wallflower waiting to be asked to dance

What HE said.
High there.


I found you thru your post in a journal I am following.
As Shed said, if all your posts are in your journal no one will see them in a timely manner.

With that being said your grow is looking great!
Much respect!

I am certain there will be smiles ahead.
Keep it green.

Wow thank you. Means a lot to me. Been lonely in here. I really appreciate you coming over. She's been drinking well for sure. Trying not to let it dry out too much. I know you are busy and appreciate any time. Hope to chat more. Thanks

Hey advocate. As far as being lonely definitely don't associate that with your skill level. Looks like your right up there among knowledgeable growers and being able to implement changes to keep things where they need to be. Seriously bravo. And if you want traffic follow what the others said. Be active in other people's journals and they will start to appreciate your kind words and venture over To your place. Be funny. Be engaging and most importantly read the journal. We all know who is just popping in and saying "looks great keep it up" and who has actually been reading things. Obviously we all know if you subscribe to ten threads you can possibly read them all of they are super active. Not unless you are superhuman like pennywise. But for the rest of us I find that if I haven't visited a thread in a week if I catch up to the last 2 pages then I'm pretty up to date. Unless there is a recurring topic coming up. Then you may want to reread a couple pages further back. But this is the best way to drive traffic. Engage others and they will appreciate your words just as you appreciate everyone else's. Once you find a core group of 10-20 people to follow along to and engage with them you become a part of the family and we will never let you sit idle again!!!!! Haha seriously this place keeps me on my toes. Now that I have so many friends on here it eats up hours of my day but I wouldn't trade them for anything. I love my people on here.

Also I'm not sure if you are aware of the great contests that 420 mag offers every month for best picture, nug, plant, member, and journal. There's lots of giveaways and you just have to upload pictures to enter. If you aren't aware of these then this is a great way to engage with other members as well. By congratulating them and appreciating all the hard work behind the entries. Just please don't be a sore loser if you don't win and you feel you should have. It happens all the time but in order to save your reputation and keep all of your friends sometimes you have to just swallow it and keep on keepin on. There's always next month and to be honest the friends and support you gain through being active in the contests is worth far more than any prize you would get from winning.

That was some time on the keyboard. Thank you. Great support and suggestions. I have to pretend in real life that I'm not a smoker or grower so having an outlet is awfully nice. Feedback is something I look forward to. Criticism is opportunity to improve. And I can't tell you how often I check for new postings. The big journals are hard to keep up with but I think I'm gunna keep trying here.

The fact that I pulled off a resemblance or anything in comparison is unimaginable for me. Thanks. I'm hopeful!

Everything Rooster said! That's exactly what I meant when I short-handed it a few days ago. Before I post the first time in most journals I go back and start from the beginning. I read all 27 pages of Rooster's thread first before I joined in, and it was an incredible read. He's got skill and knows how to communicate his thoughts here (obviously). Some I'll jump in late but get caught up with what's going on first. If you want people to read what's going on in your life you have to contribute to theirs. It's not just about the grow, it's about the fellowship of the grow.

Well the LED sticks with uv/ir came today. 1/2 the size I was expecting. Not sure these will make any difference. Prolly use them foe an herb garden. Think they add anything?

Trichomes are coming, and if nothing else, maybe the new lights won't kill your plants!

Nice job, love the canopy under shot. Why is your light pulled down inside of the reflector? I have a similar 600 watt reflector/tube and I noticed it's less bright directly in the middle, does this have something to do with that?

The tube is adjustable within the hood. Further out I was hoping for a larger footprint since I keep her close as I can. Further in the footprint shrinks some. I like my bulb as close as possible.
