You;re a brave man!maximumcapsicum said:Alright guys here goes:
Almost 10. And I buried the coty's accidentally. Gave her a mix of secret ingredients. Also plucked all the side shoots on one to see if that help.
Don't forget the secret army...
I'm so far behind I'll never catch up. A quick browse shows 'yall are kickin' ass!
Well I can finally post a few pics.
Don't laugh, and yeah Halloween is way out there!
These are second round plantings I started about a month ago in paper towels in a baggie of the fridge.
When I came back from my "vacation" I was surprised with the starts below:
These two were sown 2-14-2015, kept in an 80° grow station with a cover. Two weeks ago I gave up and unplugged the heater. Go figure....

How many of ya'll are growing hydroponically?
my largest....
I do not think mine is the large orange Thai....I may be out 
It is looking more like a traditional Thai Orange judging by the leaves. On a different note, several of my Thai plants are producing flowers hahahha

I am.....Kinda. Its in a miniature DWC with an air stone so to speak.chocolatescotchbonnet said:

I think so. I got the buckets yesterday. You can order a 10 pack of black buckets for $30 and have them shipped for free to your nearest Home Depot. Im just waiting on the lids and then Ill probably just make a bubbler bucket. What about you whats your plans?
i bought two totes, one is 18 gallon, and the other is 10 gallon that fits down inside the 18 gallon, which leaves me an 8 gallon reservoir. i got an air pump thats for a 10-30 gallon fish tank with a 4'' O2 disc air stone. The 10 gallon tote will have a bunch of holes in the middle bottom of it for drainage and the roots can go into the res(dwc). I will fill with hydro clay. I have a 365 gallons per hour water pump, that will be watering from the top only near the center of the tote, that way, the sides of the 10 gallon tote will get a lot of air(airpot thinking). I also got an timer for water pump, some drip stake, hoses, some ph down and a cheap ph test kit. I will show pictures by the end of the weekend, where their will be a little orange thai plant growing in a small green house with maybe a light for night time to keep it warmer. 8).

Here are mine before leaving the HPS and going out into the greenhouse.
I think your smart going with the larger tote. I just don't see a 5 gallon bucket growing a 10ft plant. I probably will have to move it to a tote later on if I even make it that far with mine.

Wow - some awesome specimens on this page!
I'm afraid I'm going to have to go for the 'bushiest'
category, or maybe the 'widest'
:
For what it's worth, it's 7 5/8" at the tippy tip of the top leaves:
It does have an attractive canopy, however; complete with flower buds:
The side branches are almost as tall as the main stalk! And they are f••king*, too.
