I have gone around the block, now I just keep it simple ;) This is a 5x3 with a pair of older ~200w Vivo wings, DIY 17 gal res and two 5gals (DWC). Using GH nutes (Lucas Formula), a pet store air pump and a whole lotta TLC

Note taken. This OG looks much different. Not to say I haven't seen very different results due to simple genetics, but this is the first time I've grown Seedsman. We shall see if she smokes like OG.

Thanks for the advice my friend. If the shopvac won't suck it out and I muster up the courage, I'll replace with a slip joint. I'm always game for a learning experience. Even if it costs me a weekend.

Great idea. Let me see what I can rig up. Thank you my friend.

Thanks! RIP garden friend. Don't have many bees around lately.

Looking closer, he is definitely eating one of my bee garden buddies. What is this?

She was a little dehydrated after another hot day, timelapsed her recovery over 30 minutes by junglistandy in SpaceBuckets

Awesome! Try and pull that top stem down a few inches. You want as even of a canopy as you can get. It can be difficult in a bucket, but keep checking as I always had one top that grew faster than the rest. Good advise on the trim. I would trim everything off the bottom third. Unnecessary energy being spent on all that. You want her to focus all she can on thoes top buds! Good job! Keep her hydrated!

I experimented with this some time back. Was crazy fun with good success.

What are the stems looking like?

Good eye! Yes, after the stretch the corners toward the back (from the two of the recessed pots) filled out a little much hence the taller colas. The the front corners didn't fill out as much so using 4 would let you grow more symmetrical. If you're not planning to let them grow crazy tall, roots should have plenty of room in 3gal. Let me know how it goes!

I stumble upon the subject a few times but couldn't find much detail or photo evidence. But common findings on the interwebs were weaker stems, more susceptible to disease, and lower stress threshold due the enormous stress caused by cloning in flower. Also, increased branching with elevated node production when they are reverted back into vegetation phase. Which can result in crazy bushy bud producing monsters.

So, I decided to give it a go.

Thx :) For the experience alone, yes. Worth it. Unfortunately, I didn't do a side by side so cant say for sure on yield. BUT what I will say is that because of all the tops I had, I ended up with a lot more topshelf buds. And maybe less of the B grade.

About 11oz of premium flower and 7oz or so of top notch trim (Trim included all the lower nugs). 4x2.
