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???
