they look very nice but alittle short...
Light will not penetrate the canopy.. making the plants taller does not seem to be efficient.... looks like HAL has his shit DIALED..Quote:

i agree that taller plants really dont mean anything, and yes maybe less efficient there seems to always be a more efficient way to grow, how ever im used to seeing my plants this size when i start to flower, not half way through. Either way there beautiful, and i would agree they look 100% healthy. maybe there lsted, cant really tell by pics. Sativas ussually are tall, that why i asked.
sorry i for to mention most of these plants are into week 4 of ( 11/13 ). thanks for the comments GK and jack. my plants all end up roughly 2 and a half foot , with fat main colas, also the small side buds are tight and not fluffly. when u are burning 600watts x 2 also it allows u to manage ur lights better do the is less chance of heat stress. i find that if i keep the small and grow loads of smaller plants i can easy match sumones yeild growing half the plants and twice the size . also at harvest time the are simple to trim
ohhh ok, lol posted at the same time, cool, so the immediate flowering is why there short.. is that how the crop circle works or how u like to do it? i always understood they needed time to grow to about 8" but either way there matured so i guess it doesnt matter to much.
i have grown larger plant but i find them harder to manage . the amount of bud on a plants is inline withthe size of the root system below it . now when my clones root threw the cloning blocks i transplanr them straight away and put them into flower. a plant doesn;t make roots during the daytime only at night so the 11/13 light setup helps them root in no time . i find doing it this way my buds are of better quality as each plant get plenty of light, i average 75 watt per square foot.
i hope this helps mate

Is Sour Diesel a mainly sativa strain??
Hey HAL...
How many nodes do most of your clones have when you flower?
Are you more paticular than most when you clone.. since there is no time for vegetative growth?
cheers
thanks for all the info!!

Interested in hearing about this as well, especially with the SD you are growing. I am considering vegging for only one week next time then throwing them into flower. This time I vegged for nearly 3.5 ...these ladies are going to be tall!!!
by the time they root they gave maybe 2 nodes at most . u know urself the growth a plant goes threw when it 1st flowersso the amount osn't a problem. no gk i don't pick my clonesout especially , if it roots i flower it. i just like keeping my plants smaller as i think i can makie the most of the lights i have + i get good result . my motot is " if its not broke don't fix it!"
2 nodes... wow.
and when they finish how many nodes do they have?
Do you clone using rockwool cubes?
Do you wait until the roots come out the bottom of the cube?
So... you see a tiny root coming out of the rockwool cube and you just throw it into 12/12... or do you wait until there are 12 or 24 cubes that have rooted.. and then move them together?
If you throw your rooted clones into 12/12 asap... how do you get more clones? Do you have a mother?
cheers
Thanks for answering all the questions.. I think a lot of people will fins this very very useful....
did I mention your grow is awesome ?
I am VERY interested too Garden Knowm...I have 2 plants I vegged for 5 weeks and then I just started a SOG from some clones I was given. I have put them all in 12/12 but I am just kind of experimenting. I topped one of the plants I vegged. It looks nice.
Thanks for asking the right questions :)
Can't wait for your answers Hal.
Hey buddy, see that you are getting some questions and giving some good answers as usual. I am glad that I have followed some of your other threads and have a good idea of the set up but I guess I better post around here unless I miss some new information, LOL.
Good Growing Buddy.
Adieu
not sure how many node they have mate as i have never really counted , with the WW i get a plant no taller than 2 and a half foot in height with a lovely main cloa and good tight bud on the lower branches. i like trimmimg the lower branches of the plant of early in to 11/13 i think it help produce more buds on the main stem. i do use rockwool cloning cubes along with stuff call gell 4 plugs . i spray my clone twice a day with a weak veg solution and as soon as i see the roots comimg threw i plant them into 5 litre pots with the 50/50 cocofibre , clay pebbles mix and them the go straight under the 11/13 light. within 2 watering i have them at full strength veg mix ( 1.6 on my cf meter ph around 6.4 ) i feed them this mix untill i can see the bud site really starting to form ( this mix with the 11/13 light make the veg out like mad , plants will double their size in 3 to 6 days ) then i put them onto the bloom mix ( 2.4 cf ph around 6.2 ) . can i just add any ph above 5.8 to 7 is good for cocofibre but i find 6 to 6.4 the best . i am constantly add plants to my room and the good thing is keeping them small means that new clones get loads of light too. i don't really have anymore than 3/4 sets of big fan leaves when i finish flowering . yeah i have mothers of all 3 strains , the nycd and the pot of gold are new strains i have just started so i just kept a female of each . the pic with the small clones has a pot of gold mother in 11/13 just so she will produce loads of shoots. as soon as i can get enuff she will go back to 18/6. i also am restarting the WW as a mother from a clone ( 4th gen now ) . i just have finished the 1st stage of drying sum nydc so i have set aside an ounce for now and putting 5 o's in for curing . its lovely smoke really head high and tastes of grapefruit ... emmmmmmm.Quote:

I really like the fact that keeping them small allows you to always add plants to the flowering room without worries.. freaking brilliant..
