Bro I've thought about Co2 and DWC on more than one occasion and if my grows weren't getting better I would defo try new things but I don't think I'm getting the best from my set up yet....if I were to try anything different the first would be coco to get the feel for PH as it's not part of my routine now.

unreal indeed!:tiphat:
......guess some can be too new to acknowledge!
Oh well......Absolutely incredible job!......first time for everything!!!....."Stirring"
Hi phillow welcome to the thread.... good to have you on board.... Miss Uma is definitely real and has a lovely lemony aroma..... I just love her, she has an incredible frame.... it would be great if DP could send some auto ultimate pollen so I could produce a few seeds as her branching is unreal and the genetics should definitely be preserved.......
Oh really --- you'd like some comments would you mr Jorrilla!!!?? ^_^
I know you've had it in for me ever since I suggested using Lyons as an alternative to Meridian Organinc Black Strap molasses!! I KNOWWWWWWW lol
Jorilla in Kind ..... and generous ^_^
But.. it's the little things - those little tweaks that make all the difference! A squirrel in the bushes! - You just can't account for things like these!
Good work Jorilla - Glad the GN team are sorting things out for you.
... and i agree ^_^ "splash some cash on the girls!"
High Princess BLUE* you have the memory of an elephant.... its getting a bit of a jungle here with an elephant a Jorilla and tiger tang.... sounds like it could be the start of a corny joke...
You have been forgiven anyway for being frugal in the Kings court after splashing out on the disco light AND the BOOM juice....
Yes!!!!
TANG! how much more zeroed in do you need to be? you must be a perfectionist...... come and lodge in the Jorilla castle for a while and learn the lacksadaisical ways of the King....
COCO Ssshhmocko.... it's for nuts....
Anyway when you do get round to DWCing it I know you'll kill it... Jorilla cant wait...
By the way folks the spare part for the disco light arrived at the favorite grow shop (good old GN getting it out quick) and the guys just swapped units so Jorilla doesn't even have to change the parts.... how good is that?...
Plant Turning/Rotating
Hello folks the subject of plant turning came up in another thread as a potential hijack subject so Mr Jorilla thought he would share his views and real life experience on the subject in a tent grow space environment.
Plants exhibit photo-trophism that is growing in response to light for example leaves will turn towards a light source to maximise exposure to light and therefore photosynthesis. In doing so the plant uses energy that could otherwise potentially be used for growth so the question is could plant turning rotation actually provide an overall net benefit?
In a grow tent in an ideal world one would have a light(s) directly above the plant(s) to ensure light exposure of the plants canopy is uniform however when the lighting regime and plant spacing do not allow for the ideal world scenario such as is the case with Mr Jorilla ganjamotos world record breaking princess monster one has to adapt, improvise and overcome.
Lets consider the case of Miss Princess Madge (900g dry) she grew to within six inch of the tent ceiling which meant direct overhead lighting could not be used and offset lighting had to be used instead. In this case turning the plant was essential to ensure even growth of colas around the plant and any wasted energy of the plant responding to the light source was offset by the fact no part of the plant say was left in shade/dim light permanently.
So the grower with a restricted space/light environment has to ascertain whether their plants would benefit from turning. In Mr Jorillas experience of tent growing turning can be worthwhile rotated plants showing better all round development than non turned plants subjected to non ideal lighting situations...
Any other sensible thoughts on the matter welcome.

I agree, Mr Jorilla Gangamoto,
I have found that turning my plants allows light to hit more nooks and crannies. It usually seems like it only takes a couple hours (if that) for my plants to adjust their leaves, and they've got the rest of the day to grow unhindered.
Even outdoors the sun moves across the sky. So plants are slowly turning all day long.
It's not like my plants are flipping and flopping back and forth as I rotate. The leaves seem to turn without difficulty. I know the branches grow toward the light, but I figure the plant is putting the most (or getting the most) energy into whatever is getting the most light, so as I rotate, the previously shaded areas will grow more and give better all around growth.
But I am a believer in Do Whatever Works. If I was doing a scrog or sea of green I would probably just leave the plants as they are, and prune accordingly for max terminal bud growth.
As it is, tho, I grow many different plants together, and as Mr Jorilla mentioned, I don't always have ideal lighting.
And by the time I get nice buds going, I don't really notice the plant "moving" around too much. The buds just seem to swell the most on whatever side is getting the most light. And turning seems to help the little popcorn buds get bigger/frostier.
You know, I don't really feel there are right ways or wrong ways to grow cannabis. But some ways may be better than others.
I think I might keep a couple plants stationary in the future and do my own comparison. I'm open to see what works best.

not just leaves but entire branches grow towards the light , branches on the backside of a plant will grow towards the front side that is receiving light
as koz mentioned "I have found that turning my plants allows light to hit more nooks and crannies. It usually seems like it only takes a couple hours (if that) for my plants to adjust their leaves, and they've got the rest of the day to grow unhindered"
well sir , thats a LOT of hours after a 3 month period
but whatever
