Day 12 end pics

FYI : just ordered another 300 watt light. So that should help my lighting out a lot!

Have a good night

They're looking splendid!

Have you thought of topping (and soon)?

 

[MrSwishaa]

Yea, but I'm scared to top being my first grow an all. I will do some more research today

 

[MrSwishaa]

Good morning All,

It's storming here in my area. Cloudy as hell. Getting the back winds of Harvey. This will be the first day since plant these girls haven't been under sun at some point of the day. My 2nd 300 watt LED comes in tomorrow, and my 3rd on Thursday. I need to get my girls all the light they can get. I hope nothing happens to them now that they won't get much sun for a couple of days.

Day 13

Hopefully my light tomorrow will help brighten up the space a lot!

I am going to research the topping technique today. Will my plant have time to recover even though it is an auto flower? In my mind I see me doing Bowl method LST but if topping will help my plants grow more effectively I'm all for it. Give me your thoughts.

Looking good! They're rapidly outgrowing their pots.

The coco outdoor grow log in my sig file starts with topping an auto after 20 days at node six. You may find reading that info useful.

Training is mostly common sense. By all means, learn all you can and then just dive in. You'll very quickly see how pulling on the branches with wires and trimming away the odd leaf helps the plant.

Good evening all here are some ending pics of day 13. Can't wait to get my 2nd LED tomorrow to get more light on my plants. And my 3rd on Thursday yay!!

I will also top 2 of them tomorrow

Tomorrow is feeding day as well. It should be sunny during the day.

Well goodnight everyone. Pray for a sunny day tomorrow!!

I did some bending on Lahey. I didn't snap the branch but it's laying low. Will it grow back up? The LST video I watched said to gently bend the leaf stems l.

Patch her up with some electrical tape

 

[MrSwishaa]

Patch her up with some electrical tape

It isn't torn. It's just laying low after I bend it down. Isn't that normal? After performing LST?

Hey I saw your title and was wondering

did you use this soil?

 

[MrSwishaa]

Hey I saw your title and was wondering

did you use this soil?

I used the MG perlite but no peat moss. I used MG seed starting soil with 30%perlite and a rock bottom from rocks around my koi pond.

I also use the fox farm soil trio nutes. MG is given a bad rep but it's workin well for me right now "knock on wood"

 

[DirtBagg]

I guess it should be about the same being miracle grow Soil n all.. btw I'm subbed

 

[DirtBagg]

I'm on day 5 right behind you lol.

 

[MrSwishaa]

I'm on day 5 right behind you lol.

Looking good this is my first grow so I'm learning on the fly. But I'm adjusting and doing a good job thus far. I just want my plants to get good yields

 

[closetop]

Order some seed starter light warrior it is awesome

Nice this is also my first grow haha.. I don't really care about yield even tho I already put like 500 in equipment, It's sorta addicting buying growing shyt and growing and taking care of these plants so as long as I can get at least an ounce a plant I'd be altight

 

[MrSwishaa]

Yea forsure. Some get 6-10oz per plant with proper training and what not. I'm shooting for 2-3 per plant
