Insane_in_the_brain I ordered an assortment of citrus plus others. I thought I'd be moving everything to a shed when they got too big, but then the downstairs kitchen opened up so I turned it into a grow room.

Insane_in_the_brain Here's the deal. I was thrown out of riu because I annoyed the admins. I figured out how to create continuous node development. I have thousands of buds in process. Is this the place to share the knowledge?

Insane_in_the_brain Backfill, feel free to ask anything if you want to. Here's where I find out how big I can post and whether or not my types of posts are correct for this environment. This is the post that got me kicked off of RIU. I had at least a 10-year history. No idea if it's still out there, I'm not going back. Oh well. I have goals to achieve and goals to share. Hopefully what I have is worth sharing here.

At least 2,000 w in winged flat panels surrounding as much as I can. Lots of far far red. Lots of UV from different sources from both LEDs and the real tube from migrow. This plant is starving. All my plants are starving. Please don't comment on the horrible condition of the various color of the various leaves of the various plants. I starve them all on purpose. The goal here was nodes. How many nodes can I generate from a single plant? Indoors. In dirt. Watered from a hose. Being very lazy with nutrition. I'm quite happy with the results. Let's see what really happens now.

@GERGrowDesigns, 17 years of closet grows. wrote article for Skunk magazine voted best of and reran in end of year. 15 years of mushroom growing folded into the knowledge. I can handle temperature and air flow. And it's nice not to handle sterility. This interface is new to me. Expect me to make stupid mistakes like posting pictures in my own conversation portion of the log. I'm coming from riu.
