Thank you for checking in...I am no longer on the fence i will be switching them over to 12/12 tomorrow night

Your girls look really good. I don't think that you will be disappointed with the switch. Just keep the new growth under the net to keep them in training. Maybe, your smaller plant could be lifted up to your net from the bottom so the light penetration will be the same. just a thought

That was what I was thinking but I cant lift it due to the 3' of roots coming out of the bottom of the pot lol. They are all tangled with the roots from all the other plants and hydrogen pellets.

So the Ladies are in their second day of 12/12... does that mean they are in Day 2 of flower? or does that start when they bud? I am not sure about the terminology. They are growing so fast.

Some people go by the date of flip and others go when they see pistols. Depends on the grower i guess.

I think I will try and keep track of both.

Usually if there are no white hairs when u flip the plant will have to mature more to start producing them. Namaste .

 

[Lady Vadalon]

They are nice and full looking. I count my days from the time I flip to 12/12. Most of the time it take about 14 days for the pistols to really start showing.

 

[Papa Wheelie]

well I did a lot of research and there was massive difference of opinion on whether to defoliate after flipping to 12/12 or not.... I couldn't make up my mind at first but decided the only way to learn is to experiment. so I lollipoped and trimmed them up today. got a whack of clones to

Before trim :

After Trim:

I hope I made the right choice but either way I am sure I will learn something

I always give them a hair cut 21 days into bloom. Sometimes, right before the switch to 12/12. I think it lets the light penetrate further down. But that is my preference. Your girls look very nice. You did a great job under the canopy.

Just stopping by to say howdy

It has been a While since I posted. I have been under the weather. I flipped the ladies over on Nov. 18th and kept feeding them their regular food. Plus I started feeding them a bloom enhancer. as of yesturday I took them off of the Veg enhancer and Now they are on Cal-mag, Nova-bloom and mighty bloom enhancer. the Ph is sitting at 6.5 and res is at are at 3100 ppm. they have started flowering and I am quite happy with the health of the plants.

I uploaded lots more pics I am having so much fun with this.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Everything is running smoothly. Day 24 after flip. I defoliated on day 21 and the ladies seem to be bouncing back. I was a little hesitant to do the day 21 defoliation but decided I would do it after watching vids and research and it seems to be ok.

these ones are from today

 

[Papa Wheelie]

All is well the ladies a re getting fatter!

 

[Papa Wheelie]
