First off, thank you for the response to these questions in advance. Secondly, this may end up being long and detailed....so, lets get too it.

1. Your results are from a bubble bucket. Do you think that you could achieve the same results from soil (provided you have the same environment? Yield, quality, and length of time until harvest? Do you see any disadvantages to soil?

2. What is the make/model of your RO. I saw where you provided a link in another thread...link was dead. Are there anymore you would recommend? Do you know if purified water (from a filter) has any better pH than tap? I haven't tested it myself.

3. I saw a couple of pictures where you had tied a heavy nut to one of the branches to hold it down. Was it before, or after your screen? Was the purpose to train the branch to grow through a different opening in the screen? Was it to keep the light going to a cola?

4. Do you do any kind of topping to your plants? I thought where you said you will not touch a plant as long as they make a deal with you...lol

5. It looked like before the plants reached the screen, you would tie strings to each leafset to train them to grow out and into a different opening. If this is true, could you explain the process? Basically, I'm trying to determine how you end up with a plant that has 6 colas similar in size to what most people obtain from 1 plant.

6. How much CO2 is injected into your space per cubic foot (if known)? Do you have any other exhaust that extracts air from the room, or is it just pulling through the light for cooling and is not needed for the room? Basically, I am just trying to figure out if extra CO2 is needed when the exhaust pulls directly from the room (in another setup).

7. You stated you constructed most of your CO2 injection yourself (minus the controller of course). Can you explain what you did? What type of controller are you using? How much difference do you think that the CO2 injection has made in quality/yeild/growth?

8. Do you ever have problems with bugs? Or do you filter the intake to keep them out? If so, what do you use? Pesticide or nature killers (lady bugs or mantis).

9. Do you use anything to regulate temperature? Or is it not needed?

10. You say that you limit your plants height. Do you use the same strain every time? If so, I assume you have mastered that plants characteristics to know how much increase in size you get from veg to flower until it stops growing. What strains do you prefer? Are you starting from clone/seed?

11. Have you ever thought about a band of flouros around the sides at a lower level to feed the plants a different spectrum of light? I doubt it is needed, more wondering what your thought on flouros during the flower cycle.

Thats all for now...lol...my fingers hurt and I need more coffee. Anyone that wants to help with the response to these questions is appreciated. I know this may take a while (it took me long enough to type out the damn questions), so I truly appreciate your response ahead of time.

Thanks,
