Another quick update!...
BM- day 48(i think)
After a fresh res a day or two ago?...set to ec 1.8 , was upto 1.9 after 12ish hrs & ph down to 5.6 so added 2L of water to get ec1.7 + the bubbled waters ph was naturally 6.2 & it got the res to ph5.8 again
That was yesterday & after drinking 3+L shes still on ec1.7 but now ph i rising a bit...but that could be the ph6.2 water mixing properly? or maybe slightly to strong still?.....Anyway,i made the top up res to ec 1.7 & just added back the 3+L ,& set the ph to 5.8 from 6.0 with a 3 drops of down ...Im hoping ec1.7 is in the zone now!.
Then I set about moving the LED's up(a right mission)...there now as high as they can go AND as close to the canopy as they can be ??? F**K ... i need a bigger cab ... this is why i spent twice what an oxypot cost & loads of time making 20cm tall ,18L resies .. then ditched them for being s**t!. .. but the plan was there ...oxypots
im making another one of my own... square ...25L ... INSULATED ect !.
After the cool debate on lollypoppin/trimmin the bush ect!.... I came to a happy medium betwwen two opinions i have maximum respect for & had a little tidy up just around the very base of the plant ... real wispy sub stalks & some bad cal/mg def fans ect ....i could have gone a lot further but even these lowest sub branches are almost throught the canopy & will get some decent light soon if they keep going !.I dont know how long this stretch will go but things are rapidly becoming beyond a joke !... seriously ,any surgestions please ??...Im thinking minor LST ?? I could put some hooks around the sides ,half way up plant.Tie some branches gently out to the sides (only left/.right,!).This would help with the depth already making a mess of her when the cabs shut as well ??...Maybe trim the depth sides that are already squashed & LST to the sides to fill up all space & try to keep hight under some sort of control ??..
:coughid not check out this strain much after going through so many at the start & just liked the high cbd levels ,but in DWC -with a 5' cab i think ive screwed up a bit ha ....its a good problem to have but it is a problem !
Have to add im really glad i did pick this strain over any other than Dutch Passion of course ...There obviously the daddy but this BM is one double hard bitch as well & if done to full potential could be a proper Mammoth !!...Very tough & looking like a semi superauto life cycle as well ... Said to be good pain/ insomnia :cough::cough::cough:
Fast buds are really cramped but doing ok & should have there tent any day now :smokebuds:

Don't beat yourself up, dude. :smokebuds:
Tie her down if she gets too high, nice and easy and gentle like. I'd do it sooner than later, since you're worried about her blowing up the tent. The lst-ing might just slow her down enough and she'll end up "the right height".

My ladies were unstoppable with lst. Some trim +lst + bloom nutes + low light lvl stopped them for a little 
. Little cab is so annoying (I want some trees :hug: in my house ) And I think you too
