oh and i almost forgot, these are Northern Lights from Dr. Cronic.
as of today they are 12 days old, and i topped them yesterday...
im shooting for 4 weeks starting them floweing but i also want to clone them... anyone had problems with cloning this early? what about cloning the first week into flowering?

The sprayers are awesome! Can't wait to see how it grows in that thing!

notice how the rootball is growing? thin at the top and bigger at the bottom, there is a reason for that, the top of the roots are getting a constant barrage of water spray hitting them (not a mist) breaking the fine hair roots that are trying to develop.

Change the spray heads to mist heads, they are the yellow ones with the small hole at the top only.

goto your local plant store they should have rainmaster drip systems, there is a package you can buy with all the different sprayers...

Doubt it will help much with the pump your using as all of those heads including the one you have no do not fuction properly unless it has at least 20psi of pressure behind it.

Mr.GoodStuff · #8 (**permalink**) 05-09-2007, 05:48 PM

Good call on the misters Dier- that would add more air to the spray as well

syrus · #9 (**permalink**) 05-09-2007, 09:49 PM

rainmaster? the closest i could find(even on the net was only controlers for home or industrial sprinkler systems.... ill continue my search... mabye ebay will yield something..

Does anyone have a good place to find DIY irrigation systems guides, some on google are a little big and not practical for small spaces!

Im pretty excited to see how this grow goes, I really want to do some of the Dr.s NL sometime down the road, wating for the smoke report!

syrus · #13 (**permalink**) 05-10-2007, 03:07 AM

nice! thanks dierwolf, ha found out the homedepot has em! ill go check it out tomorrow. her dier, ive heard ppl talk about thinning the fan leaves out to let the smaller shoots to grow thru when your doing lst or scog... got any ideas on how early is too early? or do you dissagree with that idea? i just topped the plants, and had not originaly thought of doing it, i think im going to go with scog, im looking to get good yields out of a closet, and i have t5's so i figured that would be my best bet? anyone have any other ideas? thanks all, should prove to be a very intersting grow! later~!

syrus · #14 (**permalink**) 05-11-2007, 02:09 AM

syrus · #15 (**permalink**) 05-16-2007, 05:40 AM

alright since no one had any comments i just kept the sprayers going, im thinking once i round up some more money im going to get an ultrasonic generator to fog the bucket, that should do it reallly good! anyways ive done alot of triming and im in the first stages of lst took two clones off the bigger one, and started some haze seedlings, had 6 of them and figured, shoot better to have 2 diffrent strains than just one! my camera is dead so no pics till tomorrow, but i think you all will be very suprised.. they about doubled in size and root mass has doubled and is branching off nice and full! god this is gonna be some good stuff... until tomorrow... peace
