Good question @Azimuth - I would say you just verbalized the conventional wisdom. I don’t buy it. If the leaves are up they’re ready for more. That’s my theory and I’m sticking with it, lol. Does it waste a little bit of nutes? Probably. But I believe a steady supply of food is key and part of that equation is the water volume in the pot, ie, the extent to which the coco is wet. Part of why it works I think is due to how quick and responsive the plants are in coco. It takes a couple hours post watering at this point. Soon it will take minutes - maybe half an hour when they really are jamming.
I think this is new water to swim in! My first thought was flower is the most productive way to use them but if someone doesn't try a veg side lighting we won't know what that brings!? Your call!
Thanks Jon! Dirty Bird is the kind of co I like to buy from! And they're right up the street! Kinda! Those two choices sound like winners for my local outdoors!Sponsor Information

Dirty Bird Genetics
When I first introduced NASC Beth had told me that NASC itself was working on their own line of genetics, which when unveiled will make them a great genetics only seeds seller who is also a breeder with their own line. Very cool and very ambitious.
This line is coming out very shortly, and it is called Dirty Bird Genetics.
Here’s a link to their website:
About US - Dirty Bird Genetics
dirtybirdgenetics.com
The girls will love this: it’s an all woman company!!! And having interacted at length with Beth, I can tell you these chicks are not messing around.
I have been fortunate enough that NASC is sponsoring one of my tents in the next grow. That tent will feature one Arjan’s Super Silver Haze, compliments of NASC, in a 15 gallon pot and using a 44” hula hoop screen and rotating scrog setup. To celebrate their impending drop and the official startup of DBG (like the way that rolls off the tongue), in another tent I will be growing out The Brunch S1. This is Dirty Bird Genetics’ very first ever offering which I got a pair of as freebies with a NASC order. Genetics are Peanut Butter Breath x Mimosa #8. If you go to their site you’ll find they are currently touting their first two strains, this one and one called Dirty Mimosa. Very professional website, very easy to navigate.
I’m a huge fan of Beth and the folks at NASC. The service is spectacular, the seeds come very quickly, and the ordering process is painfully simple. Lots of freebies and cool stickers, and the occasional surprise out of nowhere! Since they stock almost every breeder I use, I use NASC almost exclusively. Just today I ordered some Chocolopez photo seeds and some Apple and Banana photos (30%!), and got, among other freebies, a couple Emerald Fire OG auto seeds, which I’ve almost bought numerous times, lol.
Wishing Beth and Co. the best of luck and success with Dirty Bird Genetics. Very happy to have you guys here!
Thanks @StoneOtter! Cool you are fairly close. The owner is Beth Mathieu, listed in the site. She also owns NASC - Dirty Bird is the.offshoot. She’s an awesome human being and also a grower of course. Im sure she’s an excellent grower even though I’ve never seen her stuff. Talking to her is like talking to @Emilya Green only unlike Emilya, Beth doesn’t know I know nothing. So she doesn’t even dumb it down for me like E will, and it becomes quickly apparent (to me at least, lol) that I’m out of my depth. Lol! I’m looking forward to growing out their flagship offering, that strain called theBrunch S1 I discussed a few posts back. And I’m totally in love with their logo.
Also, just because the leaves aren’t praying does not mean they aren’t still max happy. They are. Even when they’re droopy right after a watering. The droop is simply part of their process. Even outdoor plants droop after a significant rain.
He made me smile too!
Thanks @NickHardy - glad to have to popping in from time to time. I get it on your access, concerns, and getting spammed - sending links like that might not be the best idea, sorry. Appreciate your input! And damn, I checked it and it brings me right to the link. If you had to guess based on my email list it obviously doesn’t for everyone else. Way to find it though, considering where it was, haha. I don’t want that.They’re very cool. I’ve seen similar built in to suitcases last few years.
I had to guess the link (its actually a link to your gmail (don’t worry it just takes anyone to their own email) but the Swedish labelling company?
I can’t even get buy in for coloured tape and bamboo skewers yet! Might be a few years down the line before we’re there!
I have been getting relentless spammed by Swedish industrial companies like that for the last three months. Lots have been hacked or something (not suggesting that is one) and I have a work link to there. All B2B stuff too.
Weird. As is sure I was subbed here.
Caught up a bit,

As did this!

Hey Nick - that picture is a Platinum Mimosa Cookies XXL auto from Growers Choice. Regarding the praying is bad assertion from someone else - imho they don’t know what they’re talking about. I got my info on praying from @Emilya Green, and I’d put her accuracy up against anyone’s. The basic concept is that when all factors are dialed in properly, the leaves should pray at approximately a 45 degree angle. I’m talking everything - soil, medium, nutes, watering, CO2, light - all of it. Outside you’ll see them pray harder than that, but indoors under LED I am very confident in this info, for what that’s worth, lol. If they pray less or have a hard time, something needs adjusting, very often less watering is the cure there. If they pray beyond 45 degrees something needs adjusting, almost always the distance to the light in that case. That’s the info I have and also what my experience strongly suggests is the case. Again, not arguing, just sharing my experience and being honest about something I believe belongs in the “myth” column.

It appears to my eye that we got two different phenos of this plant. Don’t the leaves on the one look much more indica and wide and roundish compared to the other?
. I’m growing some Sour G and one is very Sativa looking but the little ones not so much. CL
Hi @Kanno26 - I appreciate you asking my opinion, thanks.Hi @Jon, I thought today when I was looking at the plants what if you used a system like the one I have hanging my @ViparSpectra KS5000 controller. This is how I have it done there and it could work great for your new project.
What do you think?
