Harry's 2nd Grow - LST

[Harry Red]

Thanks *****. Glad to know that you're keeping an eye on this one. Let me know if you see me going off the rails.

Be IRIE, yeah I see what you mean. If I go all the way around in a spiral and back to the middle, it may bunch the colas up and they might not get enough light. I think I'll do as you suggest and curve around the edges of the pot about 3/4ths of the way 'round and let 'em go from there.

Thanks man!!

Thanks Phil and I hear ya. Some people would say that you learn best from making mistakes but I believe that a wise person learns from other's mistakes so they don't have to repeat them.

Good luck with your grows and I hope you start a journal. We noobs have to stick together and help each other out.

This is day 35 from clone on my 2nd grow attempt. Here's pix of the 4 clones that I'm LST'ing. Sorry 'bout the back angle on the 1st two but you can see the effects of my super cropping.






I also have a clone of Miss Burley in here. Not sure what to do with her at this point.



And, two flowering clones from Fast Betty (fastest to bud of the four). You can see the pre-flowers. I'm assuming these two will eventually veg out.




That's all that's in my veg room. I've been running the veg room on 16/8 to slow things down a little while waiting for my 1st grow to complete in the flower area. Hopefully, the timing will be about right but I may have to move to 12/12 in the initially in the veg area. My goal is a harvest every two months.

That last image shows you need some N. See the yellowing two bottom fan leaves - that's your indicator. Give a foliar N and sea tea to boost it along. Otherwise looking good.

Thanks Smokin *****. I gave them some FF big bloom on the last watering but I'll go with some FF Grow Big (6-4-4) on the next watering, Maybe 1/4 strength or so.

I've never tried any foliar feeding but I've been reading about it and I understand that FF Big Bloom is good to use for that. It's got: Earthworm castings, bat and seabird guano, rock phosphate, sulfate of potash magnesia and Norwegian kelp.

Should I use the Big Bloom for Foliar feeding on these or use the Grow Big with the higher ferts?

I don't advise nutrients be delivered as well as the sea tae. Sea Tea does it all and more lol

Ok, I'll have to see about ordering some of the Sea Tea. If you are recommending it, I know it must be good. I don't have any extra cash to throw at this grow so for now, I'm gonna have to make due with what I have.

Thanks *****!!

'Preciate it 420!

Just wanted to update my progress. I'm getting ready to flip over to 12/12 on these four female clones. I super cropped the heck out of 'em and they're almost like I want 'em.

I'm gonna just keep 'em in the veg room during the initial stretch, due to the flower room being currently occupied.

Here's a couple of pix!!





I read that continuing to use the MH bulb during the stretch could cause the plants to stretch a little less. Is this true or BS? I do have a HPS I can use instead, if needed?

Thanks!!

I'm not sure about the stretch difference between mh and hps. Your plants look very good! Looks likt you got the lst down because looks like all your bud sites are perfectly exposed! Nice work!

[Be IRIE]

I have "heard" that the MH will do that. I think it just keeps the stacks a bit closer and the nuggies a bit tighter...

[Harry Red]

I found the post on here where I read about MH helping to limit stretch.

Using MH light exclusively during vegetative and early flower phases will help keep internodal length shorter.

From: What do all of those lighting terms mean?
“The light produced by metal halide lamps is in the white-blue spectrum, which encourages vegetative growth and "bushiness" while discouraging upward growth. This is the bulb to use in the first, vegetative phase of plant growth.”

HPS bulbs are the preferred lighting source for flowering. However, most HPS bulbs have a harsh and limited light spectrum concentrated in the far red and IR that encourages stretching.

Guess I'll find out if it's true.

Thanks!!
