About the following the rules.....well you must undrstand..this was my first grow and the main purpose of the grow was to work out all the kinks before i use good seed (this was a bagseed grow) I grew a very healthy lush green plant throughout my vegetative stage for about 6 weeks without one single problem....SO, the grow was a sucsess in my opinion...i had 2 plants but wanted to fucus all of my cfl on the one plant so i took the other out since it started to get a little droopy easy fix cause i had it a little low in the net pot and it was getting too wet....but yes i understand that you grow more than you exect but i had no intention of ever cloning this plant or anything like that....Yes a bummer cause it had balls but a success because now i got my shit down in my DWC setup...got some free papaya seed and once I get a female its clone clone clone!
