So I started my first grow 31 days ago. Read tons of articles, grow journals, and just about everything I could find. I've gotten along pretty good so far, but now I need to figure out exactly what I want to do about training.
Strain: Kali Mist by Serious Seeds
Age: 31 days from seed popping, about 25 days from first good set of true leaves.
Current Height: 9.5"
Lights: 300W LED @ 18", veg spectrum only right now.
Nutrients: AN Sensi 2 part @ 1/4 strength, AN B-52 @ 1/2 strength. Voodoo juice was used the 1st 2 weeks.
Pot Size: Started in solo cup, to 1 gal plastic pot, to final 5 gal smart pot.
Medium: Sunshine Advanced #4 + 20% coarse perlite.
Grow Area: Dual 2'×4'×6' cabinets(1 for veg & 1 for bloom) About 36" of proper grow height available.
I was planning on going somewhat simple for my first grow, but I want to make sure I get a decent yield. I'm hoping to get a minimum of 2oz from this plant. I don't want to do a scrog. I also don't want to do any LST of the main stalk unless required for the yield I want.
My plan was to grow to about 5 nodes or so and FIM, let the lower shoots catch up and go into flower hopefully before I reach 12" in height as the kali mist has a strong possibility to triple in size. Right at 6 days ago I decided to go ahead and try to FIM to see if the lower shoots would catch up, but it seems the FIM may not have worked as it looks like the main stem is stretching.
In the first pic you will notice at the 3rd node below the top there are leaf stems below the shoots. This was the location of the FIM 6 days ago. Now it appears there has been vertical stretch and the top of the main stalk appears to be producing new nodes.
I had been planning on fimming like this and doing LST on the shoots that caught up to see if I could get a few colas with a fairly even canopy.
Judging by the pics, what would you guys do to get at least 2oz? I take it I probably need to top the main stalk somewhere now to fix the FIM, where would be best? Some guidance would be appreciated. The plant will have a 2'×2' space and can be 36" tall not including the pot. Any idea how much longer I will need to veg? Hoping to get a method figured out as I have a FMS C99 about 8 days behind this that I will do the same with. I actually just topped her last night above the 4th node instead of fimming. Thanks!
