Oh ok @DrMcSkunkins in veg, I used all cfl's, then switched over to HPS for flower. I've learned so much this first time around (still learning). I now have them in almost week 8 under a 600w HPS and they seem to be doing aright, and they look happy :) thank you! And sorry for the late response. :happy:
Lol!! I'm visualizing my face when I first tried bending it on top! Lol! :nailbiting: I waited too long to do it, I know that now, but yeah it was too hard on the very top, I ALMOST broke it (or it felt like I was going to) so I stopped, but I did TRY a super crop technique but made it look like a spider, remember? :shy:Lol! But they are actually looking really nice the way I did it and the buds are beauties and seem to be gettin the light they need. :) Ohhhh to be a rookie.... Next time will be different... But I am glad that my mistakes made such a difference in my mind as to how my next grow will look like :) I hope.... Lol
Thanks so much for all the help! Good info!! And much appreciated! I ended up changing the 1000w to a 600w HPS as it was getting waaaay too hot in there. And I also added a 6" fan in the tent as well, so now I have an intake and outtake. Now, I've got better temps in there for sure! Gotta tell ya, all is well in the tent, for a newb anyway!:D thanks so much!!
@DrMcSkunkins see being my first grow, I didn't know that at first, and I should have done all their hlstressing EARLIER and I did it in their first week of flower! All the other stems were still easy to move around but not the main one on top, it WOULD HAVE broken for sure. Ahh that's how we learn right? I'm still happy with my girls. :) But NEXT GROW... Hahahaa, I'll be stressing the sht outta them, IN VEG!! Lol!! I plan on using a trellis next time to avoid everything I've been through with these. But I have to say, it's been a great experience so far, and I don't think I'm doing too bad. Hahahaha... We'll just have to wait for my next grow to see about that ha?! Lol thanks very much for your help!!! <3
Ok well I won't trip out next time I do it. Thank you @DrMcSkunkins and thank you @Nog for Giving me assurance that these plants are very flexible and basically hard to really eff up unless you're a complete dumb shit! And some people are and that's ok :drunk2:Lol, this info will be very helpful to me in the future ;) you guys rock!! :kiss:
@Mattchoopike lol, yes, I suppose we do, right? I'd rather make mistakes growing weed the rest of my life than makin mistakes doing anything else! Hahaaa,... Like I've said before... I don't mind mistakes.... That is how I learn.
Exactly,if growing is the only thing we make mistakes at we doin aight. Also forgot to tell u if the wound is exposed to light then shade that area also
Oh okay. So the wound is pretty sealed up by the tape. I noticed this morning that the string that's holding that half was loose and then this afternoon I noticed that the string is now taut, meaning she's going back up towards the light... But lemme ask you... Am I holding her back by keeping the string on it for which was SUPPOSED to be used for LLS'ing, lol, or should I leave the string and grow as planned?? Now that I super cropped her! :cry: Geez, always something with me.. Hahahah, it's ok, I love it!
Sorry for the delay. I would leave it as is since she's already headed vertical again. That way u don't lose ur lst
Ok sounds good, no worries! Thanks for getting back to me. She's still sad and I'm still worried but I'll just have to wait a week or so and see. i was hoping for some improvement today, but same. Lol, I just need patience now but I don't have any because I feel bad for her hahaha!!!! They ARE my babies...... And I frickin dropped one on the head!! Lol thanks @Mattchoopike :) I'll keep you guys informed.
Ah yes! The trellis. As soon as I get her put up in the new house, she's getting the trellis... We move in a week.
