ur going inta bud ,,,
im not sure how many u have maybe i missed it in ur thread...
bUt chnaging ur ferts is not a BAD thing when u go inta bud ...so ur right there...as far as lighting there is HPS lighting now u can get new its 100.00
only 70 watts f-that SOO get used. 250 or 400 ta start.. pawn shops even hydro shops all have used hps lighting systems.(lights arent illegal ).
tieing ur plant is a great practice..bonzia as u stated for more BUD sites..tho it may not increase ur bud>> SURE it will... it does allow more air as well as light ta each individual bud.... xcellent practice... keeps u in touch with ur plants u will see problems from bugs ,overferting,underferting,changes etc all in ur pant due ta the fact ur so close to them.....
id say ur on the right track,,,, the intenet is a great place to research ur options...and sites like this are ideal FOR personal responce....
cheers...CC..
