Yes, yes and yes!
Yes, yes and yes!7/24/23 – In an attempt at LST, I bent the stems down a bit. Haven’t tied any of them down. Should I?
Also, I’ve seen a lot of vids / articles on lollipopping. Should I trim any of the lower branches off? Which leads me to wonder if I can try using the cuttings to clone new plants. Or is this just crazy talk?
LST can dramatically increase yield. Lollipopping helps the plant focus its energy on the more potent and larger yielding “tops” of the plants. Look into SCROG, SOG, Topping and fimming and see what interests you, there are a number of ways to increase yield and these I mentioned are very effectiveYes, yes and yes!
What is the active ingredient in your captain jacks? Is that potassium salts of fatty acids, spinosad or something else entirely?7/23/23 – Sprayed both plants w. Captain Jack’s. Wondering when I need to reapply (or if the one spraying wiped them out). Looked all over online and the label itself and still couldn’t figure it out.
Hell yeah I would tie the tops to the handle. You might have to do a little bit every day to avoid breaking the main stem. The difference can be massive at the end. Train train train until they start flower.7/24/23 – In an attempt at LST, I bent the stems down a bit. Haven’t tied any of them down. Should I?

ok basically.. the droplet magnifying thing is not true, only on plants with hairs on their leaves as to hold the water droplet above the leaf than creating a focal point for the sun to shine through.. water droplets on leafs do not create a focal point..What is the active ingredient in your captain jacks?

Also just a quick warning, you don't want to spray your plants in the sun light. It's advised to do it either at sun up or sun down. This is due to the fact water droplets work as a sort of magnifying lense which works just like when kids would use a magnifying glass to burn bugs or start a fire, concentrating the sunlight into a small area causing it to burn the leaves.
southern ontario, just started today/tomorrowWondering about the switch from Veg to Bloom in an outdoor grow. Since it’s outdoors, I have no control over when the flip occurs, right? Just need to wait til there is less than 12 hours of sunlight. Looking at charts for N. VA, it looks like we’re not under 12 hours of sunlight til late September. So, just stay the course for another month or am I missing something?
Well it's kinda hard to tell but the last pic almost looks like that plant is starting to flower now. Just pay close attention to the plants and.youll notice the growth change and.the begining of buds.Wondering about the switch from Veg to Bloom in an outdoor grow.

Interesting I'm in Massachusetts I have some photos that just started to flower within the last few days and some others that havent.southern ontario, just started today/tomorrow

I never thought this was a good mix. For soil there's other supplemental media I'd look to first, perlite being one. Coco introduces a whole new section of considerations and problems that soil growers generally don't want to think about.organic potting soil mixed w. coco coir

I wouldn't spray anything on your buds . Just my opinionTotally agree. When I transplanted them into the 7 gallon grow pots, I switched to a mix of Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil and perlite.
Any insight into what's going on w. the leaves? Nitrogen deficiency? If so, any product to recommend? OR is it something else?
Also, black tea as an insect killer?
Thanks!!
Thanks @hoobastank_enthusiast !! When I clipped them yesterday, I thought that might end the problem for a while. WRONG! Very surprised that leaves that were fine yesterday are having the same issues today.Trimming off leaves like that is not a good idea, not only does it not solve the nutrient issues you're facing but you're robbing the plant of what is still a partially photosynthetic leaf. As you said other leaves started to show the same problem so keep doing that and eventually you'll have no leaves left.
I've been feeding the GeoFlora Bloom every two weeks. 2/3 of a cup (recommended amount).Beyond that there are an infinite number of question marks...
How much are you feeding? In what concentrations and how often?
Is that 2-part actually a complete spectrum of nutrients? Because I personally don't see a lot of 2-parts that are. Most are designed with the assumption that you're introducing a micronutrient supplement at some point.
What does your wet/dry cycle look like at this point?
How much coco coir is actually still in the media? Because my guess is there's a ton of salts stuck in there from never being flushed properly too.
Next grow I'll use much bigger pots. For right now, my outdoor plants are only in 7 gallon pots.That is very normal outside. Might want to up you feed a bit. The plant is pulling nutrients from lower leaves to feed the new growth. What size are those pots. Outdoor i like a min of 15 gallon, but i prefer 25 gallon pots
Thanks @Derbudd420 ! IF the plant was in Veg, would you ever consider using strong black tea as an insect spray?I wouldn't spray anything on your buds . Just my opinion
