[NerfNads]

All is good so far

Another update on my other babies

Check the pics and comment

 

[TorturedSoul]

Put plant in 1-gallon container (or larger).

Move seedlings to separate containers.

Make sure your soil mix contains at least 25% perlite.

What have you fed the plant?

Are you going to add more light?

Put plant in 1-gallon container (or larger).

Yea I know I will be changing soon.

Move seedlings to separate containers. Yup

Make sure your soil mix contains at least 25% perlite. Ill check it

What have you fed the plant? Iam not feeding it anything.Just giving it water when it gets dry

Are you going to add more light?

Yes i will be.I plan too get around 6-8 25 watt lights.

[NerfNads]

Update:I checked out alot of peoples grow journals and it seems this is the stuff they feed it

Heres the soil i switched too

I need too know if i put too much in...

both babys are in the same pot...i was told its fine...

 

[Ms.Fox]

The reason why we ask you to put one plant in one container is because the 2 will compete for root space. They will be much healthier in their own containers. The new growth on the bigger one looks great. What is the ph of the solution you are using to water your plants. Oh, and btw you do not need to feed your seedlings nutes until they are about 2 weeks old.

 

[NerfNads]

thank you for taking your time and checking my grow out

ill change it too another pot.I fed it as soon as is switched it,will this be a prob?


Edit:"What is the ph of the solution you are using to water your plants"
Are you just asking whats the PH?

 

[Ms.Fox]

^ No problem. ;-) Yes, when you mix the nutes in for your larger plant you should check the ph of the solution before you add it.

 

[NerfNads]

ok thankyou.
my buddy has a PH tester ill get it from him

 

[TorturedSoul]

Measure the pH of the first bit of runoff from each pot when you feed/water as well and you can use the two measurements to infer the pH of your media.

 

[NerfNads]

Thankyou all for the info

 

[NerfNads]

Update:June,14...ahh i need more lights

i think ill smoke to this

 

[NerfNads]

ok heres the plants progress...

k heres the STEPS PICTURE for you to follow along with



STEP 1 : Grow your plant from Seed or Clone to 3 or 4 leaf sets, some use 5 but i always use 3 because after 3rd leaf set the main stem starts to harden and it will be harder to bend over your plant properly without breaking the main stem.

STEP 2 : Using a metal hook (i cut small sections of cloths hanger and bend a U shape at the end as a hook) bend over your plant with metal hook at the last internode (space between the last set of fanleafs and the next to last) and stick the metal hook into your dirt to hold down the stem.

STEP 3 : This is really not a step, just waiting time... Take note of how the top of the plant that was bent down will bend back upwards towards the light, this could take anywhere from 3 hours to 1 day. Under my 1000 Watt Metal Halide light it does it in under 3 hours.

STEP 4 : Veg and dont tie down until you have a new leaf set. You will notice Side branching has started already because good light is getting to the main stem areas next to each fanleaf stem intersection with the main stem.

STEP 5 : Depending on your starting pot size you may have to transplant. If you started out with a large pot, repeat step 2 over and over again holding the main stem down with hooks until you reach the end of the pot. In this illustration to save time and drawings, i started out with a small pot and it reached the end of the pot after the first tiedown. I repotted it into a 10 inch pot which will be my final pot size for this plant in order for me to continue the LST Bends around the inside edge of the pot.

STEP 6 : Now that your new leaf set has formed you have enough length in growth since the first bend(s) to allow you to start bending the stem horizontally around the inside edge of the pot. Use metal hooks again to keep this bend in place. Side branches should be coming along very nicely.

STEP 7 : Continue repeating steps 4 and 6, allowing the plant to grow and then keep tieing it down along the inside edge of pot using metal hooks (or whatever your using) Side branches should be forming and growing up towards the light.

STEP 8 : Continue to repeat step 7 until you are all the way around the pot... when you reach the point where your plant first met the edge of the plant Top the plant (cut off the very top of the plant ) and hold it down horizontally with a metal hook.... During all this time of repeating step 7 you should also be tieing down horizontally the new branches that have formed from the main stem as much as possible until you use up as much space as possible inside the pot as well , the outter branches growing over the outside edge of the pot you can hold down as well with string to keep those tops even with the inner branches.

STEP 9 : After you have used up all possible space inside the pot (or your eggcrate) its time to just let it flower.. This is a side view of how it will and should look by that time with all the side branches growing upwards towards the light.... these will all become Collas unlike a non LST plant will only have one colla.

During flowering and even before due to lack of light on the main stem fan leafs which is all the way to the bottom almost against the soil those fanleafs will die off anyways, i usually cut these off the main stem right after the branch has grown out in that area, keeps things neat down below where you will need good airflow during flowering.. so go ahead and take off any fanleafs coming off the main stem that is going around the inside edge of the pot.

Set you timer to 12/12 and watch it bloom.

STEP 10 :Two days before we harvest, Leave the lights OFF. dont let light touch them. When you do this, the female plants think there dieing(winter is comming) and extract all the Resin (THC) out of there system, thus making stronger more potent buds with the same tast.

STEP 11: HARVEST!! if you followed step 10 the buds will be covered in THC crystals. they will be beautiful, have a NICE SMOKE

Make sure you have just watered your plants, they bend easier and tend not to snap.

nice info i will have to try this with my plants

Why are you using tin foil?????????
Better read lots more on the Grow subject, Good Luck.

I messed up real good until I started to read all you need to know about Growing in this site and plants are doing fantastic.

Read, read and then Read some more.

Pay It Forward
