Which way is up?

Thanks for the ph recommendation, I will be getting some kind of testing device when I get my fox farms products. Hopefully it'll test soil moisture too, as I have no idea when to water right now, and have settled into an every other day watering pattern.

The containers are 12 qts, so 3 gal, and I'm watering each container with 1 pt of RO water.

There are some new pics in a different thread asking about LST:

Thanks!

Thought I'd just post the pics here since this is a mis-labeled grow log of sorts. Lotsa growth.

oooooh the boards are making me maaad today... I just wrote you a long assed response and tried to post it and it got lost *poof!* fuckers
anyway..
-why RO water? ya dont need it... tap water has Ca... that will help your pH
-you should read the supercropping thread in advanced about starting out in smaller pots for efficiency next time
-your plants seem to be coming along pretty well
-not quite ready to lst IMO, wait until significant side growth develops
-if youre set on RO water you are going to need to addCalMag plus asap. RO is more for hydro peeps who need to maximize every ppm.
um i think that was all.

OK, I'm not set on RO water at all, I was just using it as I own a RO unit for my saltwater aquarium, and I always keep like 15-30 gals on hand, and thought it would be good.

If I switch to tap water, I just need to leave it out overnight to get the chlorine to evaporate off, right?

I can definitely wait longer to LST, I was just getting antsy. I'll read that supercropping thread for sure.

Thanks for the insight, lord knows I don't have any yet...

i don't know how chlorinated your tap water really is... i guess if you can SMELL it then you might want to leave it out, but I just use it straight and don't worry.
hey if you can keep saltwater fish happy, the ganj is NOTHING!!!!

I had a little problem with some yellowing tips and brown spots appearing over the last few days...I think the plants were really hungry. I fed them big bloom and grow big today, and they liked it...
