    Got stuck with this plant and it got a bit big pictures speak for them selfs last two are a week later and just had loads of heads pinched out. Have I done the right thing by pinching? Or will I end up with pop corn? Was thinking grow on for a week or two.

    Pinching is fine, now the next 4 branches will leap up to take their place:>)

    Bring it on pinched a good 15-20 heads due to it getting a bit wispy in places and hard to tie down.

    Your telling me there heavy when ya standing on one leg reaching in and trying to unscrew one. Was only old 150hps and 10x20watt cfl's so not bad for a seedling set up.

    totally. Its 20+ lbs of weird weight and wire.. few the platforms I have mine on now... cap is bolted to the platform. While its not really heavy enough to drag the ballast off the board. If the ballast shifts a little, Its alot to keep it steady.. Like waiter with a tray of food and a spinning door.. fun times Ive had moving ballasts.

    Was about 7yrs old bit hummy but more concerned about the loss of brightness even with new bulbs was only cheap so think its races has been run and time to palm it off on somebody lol.
    Aww the joys of growing pot a constant balancing act.

    Some ppl all talk and no action and then when they do pluck up the balls they think or expect to grow lots of oz's without putting in the work or energy.
