aye, my second grow and a quick question

[donkanaille94]

Just made that account, reddit blocked me, lol.

I am planning to top tomorrow, is it okay to give them some root juice and calmag (biobizz) after i stressed them out that much or would you wait and feed them a day later?

Also added a photo of my first grow (Gelato 44) and some Apple Fritter.

I'll never hit up my dealer again, lol.

(German, were legal)

Cheers, Growmies.

i use an organic seaweed feed with added micronutrients like iron zinc sulphur , after anything stressful like lollypopping

Same as @carlosescobar here. I do a light feeding with a kelp supplement and if Im feeling generous a banana peel tea. Kelp contains vitamins, aminoacids, potassium, phosphorus and natural hormones. Banana peel tea kinda the same but with higher ratio of potassium, more suggars and less vitamins. The reason why is that potassium after toping is the most needed nutrient as they work to make the secondary leaves grow and distribute the nutrients more equally. Amongst other things, some of the vital roles of potassium is to distribute nutrients and suggars and increases stress tolerance.

Well, considering the size of your plants now that I think about it maybe half dose is too much, but I would definetely sneak in a few ml of nutes in the solution. They still need to grow quite a bit and seeing the size of the pots compared to the size of the plants I bet they still have some nutes in the soil.

yeah, i gave them a lot of nutes now (fish, root, bio heaven, bio grow. And some water to flush it down, let's see how it works out. I got two more and those got water only, im kind of experimenting here, give me some runs and ill be the dope wizzard

I bet Your first grow buds look quite nice, specially for a first time grower! The leaves were looking healthy too

That's what I wanted to hear, you made me fukn happy, cheers

Unimpressed is good, means youre not going over the dosage and theyre eating everything on the plate. Since you dont have anything to compare it with it might seem that its doing nothing but it does something.

Nice! I see that one got a little bit out of hand with height hahaha happens, specially at first. I remember reading when I started that weed can double the size during the 3 first weeks of flower and thinking "oh shit, Im cooked" and I was indeed cooked
Are you gonna use a net/screen for this grow? Helps tremendously to keep the canopy even after toping. You pass the upper 2 new branches horizontally as they grow below the net and then the others catch up in height and theyre all more or less at the same height.

Bending upper stems after introducing the net

A couple of weeks after doing some bending and distributing stems evenly:

 

[Eledin]

Oh, thats a 4 plant grow in a 3x3 feet tent with 7gal pots, just so you have an idea on how much it takes to fill my tent. No training prior to toping and after toping I just pass stems through the net. Not complicated at all but not as effective as training them with clips or tying them down prior to toping.

Should i just throw my banana peels in the water boiler/ kettle and add some potassium to my water? Im keen to try that
