Phuck Macky!

I have decided to continue this diary here instead of the site that it was started on. I am looking for a community of like minded growers who are open to different methods, materials, and ways. Not all sites are like this. Hopefully I can find it here, because I couldn't find it where I was. This veg cycle has been going on for 14 weeks, well beyond what it should be. I have moved to a new nutrient base feed, switched my media from coco to hydroton, installed new lighting, and have transitioned from fall to winter. Instead of keeping a deadline and ironing more wrinkles out during the next grow, I have decided to stay in purgatory veg until my unknowns were known. I have figured out what EC and how often my plants need to be fed. I have figured out where my lights need to be and have been able to keep my vpd within tolerance. Now I am just trying to get my plants to spread on their own instead of using a scrog net. When your root ball weighs as little as mine do, the plants don't want to scrog without tilting their pots. With a top feed drip system I need the pots to stay as level as possible so rough housing the plants around didn't seem like a smart choice for time management as far as my time. Now I am back pruning my growth tips in order to get the plant to shorten and bush out on its own. Once I have it to where I think it needs to be I will then go on to flower.
