On the 29th @ 9 days
Right now @ 12 days
I mix a gallon of tap Lucas: 5ml micro, and 10ml grow. I've had big bottles of GH Flora for a couple/three years, I'll use it now. Also, I've added a small pinch of epsom salt but sometimes forget. Nothing else this grow so far.
One pint each every day. With the light up on the yo-yo, I sit and watch them grow. Have I mentioned how much I like them in this stretch phase? Probably, and I'm going to watch them grow some more, right now.
They have little tufty buds, all over their bodies. Ummmmmgh, they smell sexy

I like this stretch phase too, your grow looks so cool.
I'm just a little behind you time wise. Can you post some close ups of your buddage when you get a chance?
Want to see how I'm doing in comparison, I think the better lighting you have will become apparent soon.
Thanks Gator!

The upside down letters read: WITH A NEW AFTERWORD BY THE AUTHOR, on my copy of The Perfect Storm.
If a reader don't know, he really needs to grow, but...
Wouldn't a tour of local growrooms be nice?
On the day I stroke out, everyone is invited to step over my dead body for a sniff & sample.
Adopt my cat while you're here, please.
One of my favorite aspects of the printed word is its requirement that a reader supply his own experience for his vicarious participation enjoyment.

Vertical grow pictures make my day. There just aren't enough a-round to be found.
A rare occasion when i have the answer to a question.
I have large fan leaves growing at the front of the plant that have 8" stems going back to a branch at the rear of the pot. The branches themselves are trying to find light by growing up or to the side.
Learned a new word today.
I will take some pics next time the come out of their house. Probably Saturday.

You're forgiven for your slip TT.
No petioles no seeds that you don't need....
Just doesn't sound right
I see your still going in circles Mr Gator 
They all look healthy and green, You always make me feel wasteful when I come by. You do so much with so little. Great!

Got some for you TT, light is pulled up and out of the way
They try b, but the light is stationary. Front leaves have every advantage in their constant effort to shade their neighbors. They all turn towards the light as best they can. I'll prune many of the shaded losers later. And several of the greedy front fans for interferance. Bud leaves feed buds. Besides root's needs, there's less need for the power of fan leaves if I don't grow seed.
Oh well, if I got that wrong, maybe you'll correct me.
No Go, you're right on time. This grow is just now bursting out. Welcome
I'm really happy OMM, that you came by to flatter me.I see your still going in circles Mr Gator

Besides some well aimed geometry, my grow is about simplicity.
Thanks Herbs, this one is shaping nicely.
Yo-yo up:
And down. the ring weight helps match the yo yo's spring strength, and lets me fine tune the bulb angle. The string on the side hitches to the cord adjustably.
Fire Bush 400
From 15" in 14 days with nights
The stigs got trichs, but only a hint on the leaves.
mmmm mmmm mmmm

It's kinda hairy in there TT. Maybe a bit too wild and free
Shortly I'll raise their shirts and trim their knees
They seem to appreciate some breeze, getting up in
For two or three days, I've been leaving the light a little high, to encourage mainstem cola scaffolding. In 2 wks the stretch is done. The two weeks after that is the fill & swill, and then I count to ten.
Waiting. Trying to be patient, looking for justification. Grow some more? Are you growing still or just taunting me with sticky beckonings? Tomorrow is New Years Evening. Are you ready? Are you ready for the reapers knife, and desiccation. And vaporization for medication put me on vacation. TAD economy class relocation. Authorization? "We don need no stinkin badges, Blondie" 'We got buds of the kind'. Keep them where the sun don't shine, and don't lose your mind. Though it is terribly wasted it may come back some time, and that will be another lovely day to be alive.

good point
I'll be watching the trim technique. Will it be full blown runaway fiskars again?
Couldn't figure out how I wanted to trim mine yet so they are sliding by for another few days.
PG, what do you think about running three of these with a vertical bulb
up against the sides and back of the tent with 4-6 plants in each and 12/12 with 6-8" clones?
They are very low profile and narrow, so would leave a lot of room between plants and bulb, and the total volume should enough to make watering frequency pretty reasonable.
Is a vertical setup "wasted" on shorter plants, or do you think this style of 12/12 short perimeter grow would benefit as much as just letting the plants grow out?
