plant looks good so far so good I'm subbed!

 

[SmallGrow420]

Awesome! Thanks! First grow so great to know its looking good! Any advice is welcome!

 

[sciguy]

I don't grow in soil, but the same principle is the same, keep your ph in check, it will help deter a lot of issues. if you have any specific questions id be more than happy to answer them to the best of my ability.

 

[amsterbam]

Very nice!

 

[Rumplestilts]

Looking great so far! I really like how squat she is and the close branch sites. Her main stem looks strong, too.

Are you trying to keep her short? How tall is your box?

I'm subbed!

 

[SmallGrow420]

Thank You! I have the space she could grow up to 4' If she would be awesome enough to do that for me but this strain usually only grows 2-3' I topped at the 6th node and have kept my lights 3" away to make her grow squat like that.

Looking so bushy.. nice one!! Subbed for the ride my friend!

That's good to hear. I will have limited vertical space, so I want to keep my plants stout.

Looking good in here!



If short plants with short node spacing is what you're after, go look up SweetSue and her CFL set up.

 

[SmallGrow420]

Well she is Happy this morning. I was hoping maybe someone with a keen eye could tell me if I topped her properly? Is that two new shoots I see at the top?

 

[Pigeons420]

Answered this in your question thread but I'll come for the ride over here!

Beautiful topping bud!!

Edit:: I love the short spacing. I try and achieve this every grow. As you expose her to longer night cycles she will use all the sugars and starches she stores during the day light that she can use until night. Which will cause a stretch period. Keep it short and she'll do all the work!

Pigeons420 Thank you for your response. Is there a way to take down my question or mark it as answered now?

 

[Pigeons420]

Haha no you'll probably get 5 or 6 more responses all roughly the same.

I suppose you could ask a mod to close it but I don't know how that works

 

[SmallGrow420]

I am shocked no one has brought up the fact that I stripped this little lady of all her fan leafs to grow the undergrowth. "To Prune Or Not To Prune" I know there are a lot of adamant people who would never do such a thing. But I'm doing this experiment for all of us. And so far she is speaking for herself. She is loving it!

 

[Pigeons420]

Defoliation is something I don't participate in.

I'm a strong believer of no defol. But I respect everyone's decision to take control of their own grow and medication. I think it goes "to each their own"

Great job!

 

[SweetSue]

Yes, they respond to defoliation with rapid re-growth. She's fighting to survive, so that response isn't surprising. I love the spirit of experimentation. You'll eventually reach your own conclusions as to whether the burst in new growth was worth the reduction in Brix, the ultimate determinant to plant health and vigor.

Having chosen to limit my own defoliation to that stretch of time when we prepare to flip, I accept that the Brix reduction caused by defoliation is likely negligent in the final analysis.

Hi SmallGrow I'm SweetSue. So nice to meet you. In case you hadn't noticed, I get a bit wordy sometimes. LOL!

You have one sweet little plant going here and your plan looks solid so far. I love the node spacing. That'll serve you well going forward. I can't resist a good CFL grow. I think the node spacing and chunky nature one achieves with CFLs at this stage make them the perfect choice for seedlings.

I'm honored to be invited to join this happy band of cultivators already assembled. You've gathered some of my favorite people here. Hi guys!

I need to run. Trying to catch up on old subscriptions tonight, so of course I started that venture by adding yours on. What fun living here becomes.

 

[SmallGrow420]

Hey All! In light of SweetSue joining us Ive decided to update. This is her growth in less than 3 days time.

And wait ... what is this? She has surprised me with the start of preflowers!

 

[SweetSue]

There you go!!!
