Those roots are insane!! You've got gorgeous girls growing well. Good luck to you.

Much appreciated unfortunately just one lovely lady left. Couldn't get the other one to recover and I lost her! But works out okay, being this is only my second grow lets me concentrate on some new techniques more!

Here is a pic of my lst. Don't be to harsh on me!!

Not sure if doing it right. But the leaves are turning up forward light. I screwed eye hooks on edge of tub to tie down the ends of the branches

Got a tad bit of nute burn today. On the veryyyyy tip of one leaf. Added some nutes last night was at about 1240. Dropped done to 950 today so hopefully that will help.

Other than that been tucking leaves, snipped a couple lower ones that were looking pretty rough from early stage in life. Hows she lookin?

 

[Seraphim]

She's looking great man! Roots tell the story and they look awesome!

Thank you she is going to her new home next Thursday, with new LED light. Couple days after that gonna switch to 12/12 I think!

 

[Waterlab420]

Heres an update!

Had to move the lady to her new room. More compact, closer to walls. Fits her good

27x38" Think she will absorb the light a lot better! And I have the LED arriving thursday.
Shes also taking to the LST well, sucks i broke off one of the new tops (makes it look weird having 1 big fan leaf all by itself lol) But shes doing well!

 

[Waterlab420]

Question! Should I trim some of the leaves that are in the way? Gonna flip 12/12 in little over a week. Thanks!

 

[Seraphim]

Not sure what you mean. in the way of what? Are you talking lower growth as in lolly-popping?

If you are going to lollypop, I would say let it rest for a week or so post-trim before going into 12/12.

I dont really have any lower leaves before it splits into 2 branches. I've already clipped them. ( they were dying off ) The plants not very tall, like 9", just mean some of the big fan leaves that sprout out from the main shoots.

 

[Seraphim]

I'd leave it as it is.

 

[Waterlab420]

I'd leave it as it is.

Prob will thanks!

Came this far and shes growing beautiful

Edit: I mis counted my weeks. Lol doh! She will only be at 6 weeks on saturday So prob gonna go another week past that!

OK this is optional right and it is also going to show me for the nerd that I am.. but I actually keep an excel spreadsheet with the details of the grow, weeks into veg/flower, target for when to start the next grow, expected flush dates and harvest dates (with wiggle room for nature to dictate when things are really ready), etc.

This way I keep good track of where I am or should be (and yet I still miss count my days into flowering after my first morning bowl!!)

That's a good idea! But I'd still lose track lol. I was two weeks off ( that's the stoner in me ). But! On the plus side she will just get bigger no point to rush it lol

 

[Waterlab420]

Heres an update! Not much happening, just tied it down some more, opened up some areas! Got nice thick branches.

And a little root porn for ya

 

[Seraphim]

How do you keep those roots looking so good man??? I am jealous! Cant wait to get my next DWC going. I got DWC envy!!!

Thank you! I keep clean water, let them air out every water change, and spray them with the sprayer on the sink, clean them off!

Quick question! Can I still do a ScRog? At about 10" height? Plant is 11-12" tall. Or am I to late in the game?

 

[Seraphim]

Think very hard about that before taking action.

Think... "How will res changes work once the scrog is on and well populated?" Typically DWC/Scrog is a PITA!!! Unless you have some sort of pump system that you can get the water out of there and refill somehow with clean water and even then it has limitations.

Good news is, with good LST you can get pretty much the same thing. You want an even canopy and you can get that with LST. Its not super even like scrog but gets the same thing done.

Those are my thoughts on that. Having said that, no one says it can't be done.

Good point seraph. That's what stopped be before from doing it. Guess I'll stick with LST. Good news is

My LED light came in!!! will post pics when the baby girl wakes up!
