yeah i been wanting to paint them but i was scared that the paint may be toxic to my plant.i wonder if white poster board will work the same.yeah i was going to lst the plant but i just wanted to make sure i wasnt doing something wrong in my growing.i wanted to keep it simple on this one and get a base yield so i can keep my growing style the same then lst on the next grow see how it does.then fim and lst on the next.on my last grow which was 50/50 indoor out i lst alot i tried the going around the pot trick and it did very well in veg but when i turned the lights to 12/12 the bottom half of my plant died in two days.so i wanted to go back to the basics to see what i did wrong.i still yielded a qp of the best weed in town.i believe it was nute burn and thats what has gottin me so hands on with my plant.it really is true that the more time you spend with your plant the happier both of us will be.i have only lost 3 leaves so far this entire grow.
