It's interesting how different people approach grows, being a "micro" grower (for all intents an purposes) I have a unique struggle from larger growers. Didn't ever think that way before. Just thought it was a matter of plants+size=time, but now as I see more things it appears not.
I do like that idea/method of gorilla growing, when I get more beans I might try that method. Seems easier than this.
Thanks for the positive encouragement, I think this has a learning curve all of its own. I used to grow mushrooms of various types and those seemed like a breeze, inoculate and fruit for a week. This is harder than the fungi which I heard was not the case. But it is harder. It's good to know what issues to look for in the future, I have a Mars hydro so I'll have to watch the leds. I do agree, I have "cracked" the secret as it were. I hopefully will have room to train them downwards. I'm aiming for another 5weeks for the toof decay and another 6-7 for the nl. I for some reason think the no will take more work because of the timing. I know I'm anxious to get bud fast and will probably sacrifice a few popcorn buds for early testing. I'm a fan of the spacey feel over the hard hitting couch lock of indicas, but I have heard and read various things on Amber/clear/cloudy argument with the main one being a reference to a study (I'll have to find the link) stating that Amber trichs are mostly cbn broken down and not true thc... aka what some call a "fake body stone". But then again, I'll need to find what works for me.next round I'm hoping to chop one early and then one at a later time to compare it all personally. Nothing against anyone, but I've learned it's all in personal preference. And timing is seeming to be an argument from many growers I know IRL. Some have said its better to be early than late while others say it's better to be late than early.
Hopefully my comments come off as debate sparking and not mean.
Thanks everyone, keep the comments coming.
