Well, bozo, noone can accuse me of paying too much attention 
Glad to see you're enjoying yourself round these parts!
Soulfly, so you're moving back to Cali, and my boy's decided to come back from there to CT. Decided the attitudes out there didn't agree with him. That's OK, though, he's bringing some DP Jorge's Diamonds #1 back with him, and I've wanted to try that since I 1st saw it!
Thanks for the compliments, I'm having a lot of fun doing this one, though it is a little hard to manage, what with the tight spaces around the tables!
Congrats on the chop, you must have been waiting a long time for these!!! Looking forward to the pics!
All the best,TG

Hey there all 
Want to start this update by sending some love to my boy cellardweller! Let's all hope he's back with us ASAP!
So here's how things stand.
Flipped everything on the 2nd, so I'm almost 2 weeks in! Been doing some supercropping, but I'm outta headroom. So I use this product called Bushmaster. Works GREAT for stopping the stretch dead in it's tracks. About 3 ore inches is all it'll stretch after using this shit. I think it kicks ass for growers with short ceilings.
I put up some panda plastic up close to the flowering tables to get some reflectivity. Pain in the ass! My back hurt like you wouldn't believe after I did that. This will show you guys what I'm talking about.
So here's how things are looking now!
I met up with an old friend I was outta touch with for like 5 years. This guy's in his mid 40's, and except for the last 5 years, he's been growing since he was a teenager! He's grown some of the most exceptional pot I've ever smoked, and let me tell you, was he shocked to learn I'm growing now!!!
So he gave me a few pointers, and 1 I've decided has some SERIOUS merit. Y'all know the pain in the ass fan leaves can be? And how it's not a good idea to chop them off?
Well, he said he did something that makes perfect sense. He would tie them off to the stem, using masking tape. I decided that I've got enough gardening twist ties to make do with that.
This is the biggest plant I got in flower. A strawberry cough I decided to flower mainly because I ran outta room in my veg closet!
I think it works very well. It gets the fan leaves outta the way, tucking them under, and they can't spring back up! The light penetration has increased an awful lot, too.
Here's the veg closet. Things were getting outta hand, so some haircutting was in order. Needless to say, my fridge is awfully green right now
Here's the RKS mom, after giving up some kids.
My kerosene kush mom. She started off a little slow, I snapped the stem almost in half trying to LST it, and it took a long while to rebound.
This poor super skunk cut has taken FOREVER to grow, the poor thing was under the canopy in the closet for the last 1 1/2 months!
And last but not least the cuts I took. Using 5 of them with my 125 CFL I'm gonna hang vertical. The rest will fill in spaces as they become available.
All the best,
TG

Wow TG I've zoned out in this thread for like an hour! good read, nice work!! Peace Sal
Lookin good Guy. I forsee pistals and resin. 
nice update TG.looks like you been a busy man in there bro.
can you get a closer pic of how you tied the leaves back?
somethin i noticed is,sometimes when theres a cut that is slow for whatever reason like urs is,i take a cut from it and the cut takes off real nice and passes up the original in no time at all.idk just a suggestion bro.peace.-T-

Sal, thanks, man! Glad to suck you in like that! Goes to show what these forums can teach you!!! 1 year ago, I wouldn't have been able to design the areas, or grow the plants anywhere as well!
Thanks, Prof! So do I!
Thanks, T. I'll make sure and take some better pics of the fan leaf tie down I did tonight.
You know, I had noticed, if I remember correctly, JD had a cut of the white that took a long time, and when he finally took a cut, it rooted quickly. I'll have to remember that in the future. I still think it was just slow because it was so far under the canopy it didn't get enough light to grow. I'm just gonna make it one of the plants I put under the CFL. Definitely didn't explain well that I plan to flower 5 clones around my CFL. So the small SS cut will be perfect.
Nice to see you, SDS! How's everything in the land of "higher" education? Thanks for the compliment, wish you could be doing the same! OD season can't come soon enough for me either, but I'm sure it's buggin you more than I!!! Here's to a good '09, bro!

OK, so I promised to put some pics up a couple of days ago, and I haven't done it.
My bad!
OK, so here's what I was speaking of about tying off fan leaves.
I'm starting to think it only really works if you wait for the stretch to end. I tie off fan leaves near the canopy, and 3 days later, they're nowhere near the top! So I'll probably rearrange them once they've stopped stretching. Which they pretty much are, thanks to that bushmaster.
Figured I'd take some closer pics, too! Can't remember what they all are, but I'll list the ones I remember.
Lemon Godzilla
Dirty Harry
Skunk Chunk
And the one I can't remember. Think it's a sensi star x skunk #1
Here's a Dirty Harry, it was kind of pissed with my letting it get so close to the light, so I had to do something drastic.
Decided to throw my Super Skunk mom into the flowering room to replace a LG I completely neglected to realize was a male!!! Got enough cuts off it, so no biggie losing that specific plant.
Besides, I'm about to try semi-banzai moms, so I can keep them all in my 8 sq ft veg area!

Hi Thatguy, nice looking grow you got there! I saw you are using bushmaster.... I am in my first grow in a cabinet and a DR40 grow tent so I dont have a lot of space. I am using DWC so my plants quickly outgrew my space so I bought bushmaster to control/stop the stretch but I think I burned my plants using it..... How much do you use and how many time have you tried it? Any input would be great, thanks a bunch!

Well, it's only the 2nd time I will have used it, but 2 other friends of mine have as well.
We use it in our res. Don't know the levels they have used, but I start out at 4ml per gal in plain water, then use that level for 2 days. Then I top it off (for me, usually 8 gal for the fill, then another 4 for the top off) with 6ml per gal for a 3rd day. Then empty the res and start nuting again.
They still stretch about another 3 inches or so, but then it stops.
Out of curiosity, how did you use it?
All the best,
TG
