I fim'd another plant last night. I did it much more cleanly than the other one. I managed to get the very tip of growth only. Hopefully that makes this thing spider-leg upwards. we'll see in a week or so.

Is that all the plants topped now? Don't suppose I could convince you to do a LST vs HST experiment?

No, that's only two plants. I am not sure if i will do them all. If so i would need to do them asap as i want to flower these soon. What did you have in mind? I was planning on doing both hst and lst as i mentioned earlier it might be a bit overkill, but not if half these plants are male.  Here's a pic of a fim'd plant that someone else did. Looks like a great snip.

These two above i clipped tonight. You can clearly see the cut I made.
^here's the one that I did last night. I can see how the growth has slowed and basically come to a stop since giving those couple plants a snip.

Let's see some pictures of the whole setup, so I can get an idea of scale of the plants. Lookin sharp man!

It'd just be cool to see a grow where there was plants done hst and plants done lst with all other conditions the same. I could probably google it.
Damn google. I can't even remember what I used to do before I was 16 and didn't have the winternet when i wanted to find out something.
Hey it's your grow, do what you wish with them. I think I'll want to try it out of curiosity some time though.

^I want the most efficient grow possible with the highest yield I can get. Everything else thus far has been a means to an end.

Lights just went off in the grow room. I am going to go to work for a bit then to the golf course for a few hours. Will come back and take more pictures. Updates are on Saturday's. So give it 7 or 8 hours.

Wait no more!
Update Day 28
The red eyes indicate a fimmed plant in the first two pictures.
  
  
  
^Those first two pictures are also the fimd plants.
  
^Those first two are also fimd. I am having doubts about having done the chop low enough. We'll see.
  
  
^Look in the center cavity of that one and see if you can tell what that dark discoloration is at the top of the stem where the cut was made. I dont know what it is.

I started listening to the tool concert from 7-24-09 in San Antonio when I started messing with the plants. it's now starting the last song of the concert. That's about 100 minutes. I added some more nutes to the rez and brought it up to 1,100 ppm. It was at 700-800 range. Then adjusted the ph to 5.8-6.0. I love listening to music on a pair of great headphones. It makes basic activities around the garden (indoor that is) much more enjoyable. Not that it's not fun just working with the plant. Anyway taking the pictures and weeding out the good ones and uploading took some time. I got a rhythm with my weed smoking / uploading pattern though. I just smoke non stop and then feel like ranting.

Sweet, I usually stick on some music on my ipod speakers to drown out any noise I might make to try hide my activities from my housemate. Besides, the plants like music too I'm sure.

I thought it would be interesting to see the progress from my last grow at this point. These pictures are from my last grow at Day 27 (11/30/08). The difference is fucking amazing. I think it has to do with the seeds used. and the fact that I didn't start giving the plants nutes until like 3 weeks into it.
      
The plants now, are about at the point to where the last grow was at on day 46!

I've noticed with all of my grows, from my first to now, that each time I start new ones, I end up using all of my new knowledge, first hand and informational. The result is plants I grow now at 2 weeks, look like plants in previous grows at 4 or even 5 weeks. That just shows that you are learning more and not doing any mistakes you have previously made... I don't know if that made sense because I wake' n baked big time today... But anyways good job dude and keep it up. I want to see results! 
Edit: It does look like you didn't chop low enough on some of those. See how the fan leaves are growing in, cut in half? That means you only cut the top of the growth tip, not the bottom 10%, which is the goal. I got first try this year and you will defiately know when you got it just right.

Yeah, one of them is definatly not done properly. There might be another one i fucked up on too. But one of them def. was hit on the spot. On another note I saw a fucking nat flying around in the grow room. That made me really mad. Now im on a fucking mission to erradicate all of it. Unlike coaster I keep this place as spotless. i shook the rockbed and nothing happened. I don't think there's a problem. I just saw one and smashed the shit out of it. I've had a sticky trap placed on the light cord from the ceiling this whole time and nothing is on it. Shouldn't be a problem. Let's hope. fuckin pests!

Over the last few days I have noticed some water on select leaves. I thought maybe i was drooling on them and just didn't realize it. Well i think i figured it out. The places where there is water on the leaves are the top surface of a leaf that has another one right on top of it. I think it's just a bit of transpiration. I went through the garden and patted the leaves dry. I also moved all the plants around a bit to reorient them. the plants themselves can't move but i mean i just fluffed it and put new leaves on top and so forth. This wasn't a problem last grow, but for vegging i used florescents.
Special Picture update today, since it is hump day!
I also changed the rez tonight. I just flushed it and i am waiting for it to drain before i move things around again and add the nutes for the next feeding. I also just rolled up a nice j of this bud below. Look familiar? 5 months curing now. best bud in the world as far as im concerned.

As I may have mentioned earlier I spent all my money on signed concert posters. $1600 down the tubes. At least those things should appreciate once I get them under glass. Anyway, due to that I've had to eat like a bumb the last week. I get paid next week and that money's already gone in the form of rent and car loan pmt. Anyway, i got a few things I need to buy for the grow. The reflector is the main thing. I put up a post in the Lot. If any one reading this knows where a cheap sun system reflector can be had, let me know. I want the same one that I already have. I hope I can get this thing before I flower so I can turn this 400w into an 800w grow. Not sure if i mentioned it but I got my 400W galaxy ballast today. It only cost me $125. It looks even better than the one i bought 9 months ago. Additionally, harryba11sach has inspired me to use Humboldt Gravity during the end of my grow. That shit is expensive too. $50 for a quart!
