  5. Total space I'd say is 10' long 6' deep. Angled ceiling so that's what really hurts. Makes it so my space is more like 4' deep.

  7. Recent pic 1385089140558.jpg

    The stem . Think it's looking good. It's bigger than it looks in the photo 1385089193510.jpg
    And another pic her 1385089237096.jpg
     
  8. Fan leaves are massive and block out the light I try to tuck them underneath where I can
     
  9. Got all bigger branches wired down to let the little guys catchup. Gave my first water where iv let it run off a bit. About 1.5 litres ppm is 1100 and ph is 5.8 using a flower nute a and b with supplemented nitrogen and root stim. Think iv mentioned that before lol. Also topped some of the branches that are growin fast so I get this bad girl to fill a scrog. Going to switch to hps very soon because it's outgrowing the 125 watter. Heard a bit of bad stuff about pineapple chunk but mine seems to be going okay. Will re pot next week .I am not sure if I have to but want a massive 50lt pot for the roots. Hopefully switch to flower in the next 3 or so weeks !

  10. What were the bad things you heard about pineapple chunk? The only negative I have about her is she's a Lil picky about her ppms gotta watch for nute burn

  11. What stage did you suffer nute burn ? Mines 5 weeks from seed and I feed daily on 1100 ppm and ph5.8 and haven't noticed any nute burn and would probably feed stronger soon.


    I heard it can stretch like crazy and take longer too flower ?
     
  12. I have yet to flower so idk about long flower. And Im training in veg to keep height down once I reached about 40 cm I was able to train lots. My big pineapple chunk is a monster and probably only 60 cm tall.

  13. Yeah I plan to do the same thing it's cool making the plants grow how u want
     
  14. Did a bit tonight put into a 50lt pot .
    1385557082826.jpg
    Today was the first hot day of summer was 37℃ day before was 30℃ so put a exhaust in fan down the bottom. And a bit of ducting out the back. 1385557546945.jpg
    I planted her straight with a support rope down the bottom and a flat rope bending her over. 1385557864495.jpg

    Also broke one of the main branches trying to bend down lol 1385557949504.jpg

    Because the plants lower now because it's got a pipe that comes out the bottom for drainage. Iv got a plastic raiser inside the pot with a potsock so the roots drain good . And the lights hanging on a angle too the plant . Having the pot too the left because I want to creep it across . Thinking of putting the screen over it in the next two weeks. Would my 400w.hps make a lot of difference in growth speed or is the 125w-cfl okay still?:s 1385558421355.jpg
     
  15. Is it a complete break or just a sharp bend? Sharp bends are how I train and get this.... 1385560687263.jpg
    If you break it in half or barely have it connected you can duct tape it like this.... 1385560770422.jpg

    Both these pictures are of the same pineapple chunk plant. The one we are growing together. I'll take a picture of whole plant later so you can seee how bends/repairs look now after healing.

  16. oh yeah it's still supporting itself but I straightened it up.. was scared it wouldn't heal. I tried to crush and bend it but might of pushed it to far and broke it
     
  17. I know the hps will help for flower idk about veg. I wait till after my second topping and then some decent growth before I start training. How much heat coming off cfl? My bulbs get pretty warm but I have my leaves like 3 inch away. Sometimes they grow in and touch that's only time they get burnt. Depending on how bad the burn I'll either trim burnt tip square or just cut off entire leaf to get light on lower section.

  18. it don't get heaps hot. Will only burn it if it touches it. The light won't be powerfull enough once the plant gets a bit bigger so ill have to use the hps soon. Just trying to save on power costs as to run a 400watt hps for 3 months cost around 300$
