You listen to X ??? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiit he don't know nuttin :) lol

Yeah, X has helped me a lot as well. I have probably blasted him more PM's then anyone else here. Jandre and Bassman were on that PM list as well. All 3 excellent growers to be sure.

that sounds like a plan X the canopy temps is like 1.5 degrees hotter than ambient with these lights. I keep the ambient at around 83.5 and the canopy doesnt go over 85 degrees.im gonna drop the temp to 80 and see what happens.thanks again bro I really appreciate you taking the time to help a brother out:)

No problem, Jon, truly. I'm really trying to help dissect the situation a little to see if we can figure things out collectively. You have plenty of skills, so trust your gut if you think that it's not helping or that you should go another way. But, when he talked in the video about needing higher temps to get enough plant transpiration that really clicked for me, because your situation seem to boil down to excessive plant transpiration (since they are drinking so much water and as much nutrients).

I really like your grow and SOG set-up by the way, very nice and well thought out. Makes me wish I had the space to do it just like that. You really do it right. :goodjob:

Speaking of really doing it right... Wood, thanks for making my summer that much better for getting to watch your garden grow. As long as you keep posting pictures of heaven, I'll keep drooling over them. :yummy:

Thanks for dropping by and peeking in. Have a great weekend! :high-five:

Awesome Tokeman, So glad to have you here. Honestly, the Flo N Gro is great - every bit perfect for my needs, and a very easy to manage system (aside from all the hydroton to clean between grows!:smokin2:).

It's been nice having Alaskan1 around, as I've picked up some great ideas/tips from him now too. I think together we've helped each-other... xlr8 our learning curve a bit (so to speak). Will sure be nice having another Flo N Gro'r around. :thumb:

Please let me know if I can ever answer any questions about it, or offer advice in any way. :)

Thank you Alaskan1!

Though sometimes I wonder if your first statement is more true... lol. I hope I've been helpful at some point - I'm still learning daily and reshaping my thoughts on things all the time, so I guess we all learn together. You've helped me too, and having you around has sure been a positive as I get to learn more through watching/learning from you and your grows, too.

Hope things are going great for you right now! :cheertwo:

Hey, X. Sorry for the absence; I was down for the count these past days. Out of my migraine meds makes for an unhappy jandre2k3. When I get'em, they stick with me for days.

Saw your entry into the NOTM contest this month. Looks like a winner to me! Good luck!

Thanks brother!! :thanks:

I have to say there are some great looking entries this month - not sure I've ever seen so many great nugs entered in one month, I'll definitely have my work cut out for me, that's for sure.

Everyone - please go vote for your favorite nug, there are a lot of real beauties!:

Update December 17th

The Vortex is living up to it's reputation as a bushy/viny growing plant. So far it's behaving much like the Jack the Ripper I had from Subcool - very viny/branchy with tight nodes. Really a nightmare to figure out how to manage this one, I can tell already. I've been defoliating/plucking more on the quicker growers, and it's really creating a lot of new potential bud-sites the way it's making the plant behave. I've not done as much plucking in veg before, so it'll be interesting to see what this means once they transition to flower. Overall, I'm thrilled with how happy the plants seem to be, and how well things are going so far.
