Thanks pd, appreicate the kind thoughts. My grow "room" is actually just a spare corner of the extra bedroom....I'll look around for a photo and/or take one and post it for you.
I use a 1kw HPS for flowering and veg in a different room with a 400mh.
My pp...yes I do think I could have finished that plant in that larger bucket but the time lost would result in poor yield plus I have a couple others in the same area and was afraid if the one plant was sick the others could catch it as well. If you have the chance check out the "Redwood Tree" log link in my sig. I just moved the Dutch Dragon plant to one of those big buckets and will finish her in that thread. DD is supposed to be a pretty large yielder so hopefully she'll show me some good love in that larger bucket. :D (I'm also growing another pp in the Redwood Tree log. ;))
