I finally depoted my roots from my 1st 4 ladies..
Surprised ta say the least.
All in the same type 3 gallon smart pots.. Grown together..
All have had all excess coco shaken off..
One is solid and large the other 3 have small solid cores and no roots beyond-none...
The soild one was BATF #2 and had no wick.
A gap formed mid tube atleast a inch wide about a inch down- no roots beyond this inch.
So what do I see here..
Top feeding was the only reason BATF#2 made it.
No wick top feeding only will get ya lower yields with low volume pulse feeds.
Smart Pots work really well.. This is the best formed none bound root mass I have had yet... Soild yet growing and still drained well.. Healthy...
Now the wicks..
Knowing that plants have a reason to do whatever they do.
Be it grow small or tall - up or sideways and so on...
Im seeing that if the plant is given a soild path to the nutrients they desire.
Then they will only grow the roots needed ta build this path, even if given more medium they wont waste energy building un needed roots.
This exsplains why my GSC is taller than any other yet in a 1 gallon smart pot. (Good wick) and I would bet $ the roots are growing and being air proned.
Otherwise... She would get or already be root bound.
At least thats what I think I see...lol

Varieties of marijuana originating in India have been grown throughout the Caribbean and bordering coastal nations from Mexico to Brazil since 1834, when the British brought indentured Indian servants to their Caribbean colonies. Marijuana use did not become illegal in America until 1937, and large-scale commercial importation of hashish and marijuana into Europe and North America did not commence until the early 1960s.Marijuana growing began in North America during the 1960s. At first, seeds cleaned from illicit shipments of marijuana were casually planted by curious smokers. Sinsemilla (Spanish for ?seedless?) marijuana was almost unheard of. Nearly all domestically produced marijuana that lacked seeds was immature, and mature marijuana was fully seeded. Tropical varieties from Colombia and Thailand grown in North America rarely matured before frosts killed them.
However, some of the tropical varieties regularly survived until maturity in coastal Florida, Southern California, and Hawaii, where the climate is warm and the growing season is long. Alternately, subtropical Mexican and Jamaican varieties often matured outdoors across the southern two-thirds of the United States. All of these early introductions were called ?sativas,? a common name derived from the botanical name Cannabis sativa.In the early 1970s, a handful of growers began to produce sinsemilla. Seedless plants are created by removing male plants from the fields, leaving only the unfertilized female plants to mature. Instead of setting seeds in the first receptive flowers, the female plants continue to produce copious additional flowers, covered by hundreds of thousands of resin glands.
By the mid 1970s, sinsemilla was becoming the primary style of domestic marijuana production.In 1976, a coffee-table book called*Sinsemilla Marijuana Flowers, by Jim Richardson and Arik Woods revolutionized marijuana growing in North America. Not only did the authors accurately and sensitively portray the sinsemilla technique with their excellent text and lavish color photographs, they made the first attempt to describe the proper stages of floral maturity for an optimally potent and tasty harvest.

so now its all pulled down, whats your take on putting a decent sized LED above the plants as well as 1 600 in between them?
im wondering if i wouldnt be better off with 1 less 600 and a pair of LEDS instead
especially since the PPKs produce such short stout wide plants.

Not cut yet bro..
Only the 1st 4 cut so far...
The other 11 have between 2-10 days and GSC 20-30 days.
I can tell you already a LED would help in quality production alongside/over a 600 vert if ya can cover the canopy.
Think I like 2 doughnuts with the 600 in the middle..
Then ya can cover more canopy-half of each doughnut.
No fan needed under the LED makes it a good place..IMO..
Your right about the LED being a good light for the short bush ladies...
If I had another exhaust fan I dont think the heat off the top of the LED would be a issue as it is for me now...

5 each please.
You scare me...you almost had an electric fire, and now you're relying on an extension cord run under the house?
If you can wire a circuit breaker and outlets, you can wire an entire circuit. What's that 20A line used for outside? Can you disconnect it and use it to power your grow? That's what I would do... That or add another circuit. Safety first. You can't keep growing if your house burns down. I bet if you feel that extension cord while running a 600 and a LED, it gets hot.
Outside line not used till now.. Extension cord is a heavy duty (like 20 gadge)
Orange cord.. twice the norm.. so I was thinking safe..
Would think it could handle 1000 watts ..No ?....
Lucky for me only needed 10 or so days...
The color of the cord doesn't mean a thing... And 20 guage isn't possible... Lol... 16-14g is what most extension cords are. 12-10g are heavy duty. I didn't realize the extension cord was a temporary situation. All the same, getting the grow on its own circuit is so much easier than guessing if you're balancing the load with other appliances.
Non electrician here for sure.. lol Fat cord...
Thanks for watching out bro..
Fast ta learn whats needed and smart enough not ta do if not 100% sure I can.
Hoping this will be my last season at this house..
Otherwise I would run some wire...
None of the lines to the room are shared beyond a cell charger..
That way since day one...
Dont need the cord since I fixed the miss wired outlet and such.. Just felt safer to me to spread the load..
Anyway. . On ta bigger and better thangs..
Peace...

Just how many joints will a roller roll, before breaking apart ?
So far about 300 - Might last a 100 more - with a little help from ducktape...

Letting GSC get taller and will take a few clones and top all ladies ta a even canopy..
Closets working out really good.. Hands off except toppings..
Upping the Cal/N as they look a touch yellow...
PPM at High 700 - low 800 range , which I will take a little jacks and add a little
N .. Might try and lower to low 700s total PPM as well....
