If you have the light to close you may not get any side branches. Raise the light and see what happends. Not every strain has side branching quit alot of them are single cola strains too.

Can we see some pics of the drip system??? I was wondering the same thing... this is a pic of mine and I had it running 24/7 for 3 weeks straight... and I just (tonight) put it on a 15-on/15-off timer... but I would say mine is more of a stream than a drip.

Stream or drip it's the same. I turned my pump to a good full stream 24/7 and they are growing faster. redvetttes remember in a small system you are only growing the top 1/3 rd of you plants. I found that out on my first grow. If you have any side branching then you need side lights and lots of it and reflectant too. This time I will start flowering at about 1 foot instead of 2 feet tall. I think I will get the same results. I have a 400 MH conversion and HPS to change to and reworked my 100 HPS side lights and lots more reflectant to spead the light. No sense in growing too tall when theres really nothing down there, saves on veg time too. I will try to start a new thread on my orange bud skunk females. They were kind of picky about starting out and a few were small but there coming on now. WHAT STRAIN are you growing???

You are using Rockwool cubes and they stay wet so you can overwater with them. be careful that is a lot of water around the root ball IMO.

You may want to try 15 on 30 off and see how they do with that.
