All is well here. After trying to get ahold my doctor for a couple weeks I finally spoke with the secretary today. Looks like I qualify for a license!!!:woohoo: now I just have to send them some passport photos and then the Skype interview next week and I'm golden:woohoo:

Once I do the Skype interview next week ill go ahead and order up all the equipment I need. Almost finished framing. Up late last night and early this morning. Majority of it is done.

Finally progress!!! Feels good!!!:dance013:

Been using 100% organic soil since I started,but i do give my plants a good watering.Then up to a week before the next watering(this obviously varies) So they go through a nice wet dry cycle.

I know it deprives them from oxygen for a period of time.I do water in the AM.I also am in a very dry environment.

Plants like a wet dry cycle from my experience.

I've only notice people watering lightly when they are small,and in a large container.I always transplant from 20 0z cups,to 1 gallon,to three.Switching to two gallon in the final stretch.I found to much wasted space with the three.This is with indica dom plants.Sativa dom plants usually fill them in.

well to each there own i found my watering cycles really make a difference in root mass i figure more root mass more nutrient uptake
you got to realize your final pots are 2 gallon my final totes are 43 gallon :) per plant giving me a some crazy stalks
 
43 gallons! Well I guess you should have more root mass,if you veg for awhile that is?I do agree with more root mass there will be more uptake,that goes without saying.(common knowledge)

By the way,I don't do the scrog thing.You can't compare 43 to 2 gallons,come on man.Those #s aren't even close.The most I do is LST,and some topping.

I really just wanted to know about your containers.
Nothing wrong with trying new things.All that matters is it works for you.

Good luck with your plants doc.

PS I've had stalks that big from three gallon Sativa dom plants,with a LST of course.

Thanks Doc, exactly what I wanted to see. When I was looking at the other pics I thought I could see that you weren't going around the tote yet. Now I see your just kinda spreading the plants apart I guess getting them used to be horizontal??:tiphat:

I normally do that as well prior to flipping to flower but i want to get plants going back to back so once these are done i got others flipping into flower i will be holding plants back from this grow as i am only doing 9 - 12 plant scrog this time but by december will have 4 - 5 scrogs going 5 x 15 all in different stages
As for my mothers i will replace them every 3 - 6 months with baby cuttings

Oh the old days of cloneing lol nothing like have 1200 + clones and rooted babys going

Doc, you still using these nutrients in this grow?

optimum hydroponic food
VEg and and B
flowering A and B
jurrasic bloom
humixes and fulvixes

What brand humixes and fulvixes are you using?

Ever use a product like Humboldt Myco Madness in the early stages for big root production?

honestly i i don't like topping Period personally i would supercrop all new growth as well as fim which is sorta like topping but not ,
why take away a bud site ???
you here so many say i topped and got 6 top cola's
well i super cropped and fimmed and got 50 :)
totally up to you what you want to do i hope there Fem seeds or you better off letting them grow sex them once you determine females then re veg and clone and start from there

Thanks doc!!! Would you mind when I get closer to going in a couple weeks if I could get a complete schedule from you on your feeding regimen from clone to harvest. So many opinions out there, they are like assholes!!!! Everyone's got one!!!!!!:laughing:

Rather listen to someone that has success growing than someone who gets 2 oz a plant!!!!!!:biggrin:
