You've been following the right guy, don't stop now. Knocking it out of the park!Thanks :)
I have no idea what to do now about training, so any advice would really be appreciated!
Thanks! I’ve been reading your journal too! Love that snake u found :) we have lots of spiders, but not brown widows, only black widows and tarantulas. Ewww.You've been following the right guy, don't stop now. Knocking it out of the park!
Thanks for the info.... I will check out your hydro journal and axelrose’s from January. I’m not sure yet about what kind of final shape would be best for each plant, I guess that just comes from experience. I will def check out your topping pics. I was thinking that they might need another 600.The plants are a picture of health. Well done.
Many folks wait for the fith node and top back to the third.
Depends on how you want the plant to end up. ( scrogged, netted, caged, manifolded etc)
I am finishing up my second grow. There is some topping pics in my hydro journal.
I started to get an idea of how topping generated the final plant shape by reading axelrose"s journal around late January if this year. Take a peak there.
You have enough space to veg six plants for another 6 -8 weeks. However, if you veg more than another week or two, you will need to pony up for another one of those 600w hid's.
I turned down the A/C.....thinking about moving in there for the summer. Do you use the same temp range of 75-77 for both veg and flower?Super nice work on the room and the plants! Clean, organized and healthy. Sweet!
@Kushy Tushy you asked for tips and i have a few.
First make sure there is no light leaks through the window A/C. Most leak light.
And you can wait much longer to transplant. You have a nice space with high ceilings. So you dont have to train your plants down in veg really at all.
I like to see the plant about twice to 2/3 bigger than the pot before i transplant up.
A longer dry cycle between waterings will get the roots to branch out and fill the pot before circling. Even the seedlings i transplant usually lift right out of the cup by the stem. (Be careful trying this).
Both of these tips will likely increase yield. All i ever do to train is grow the plant as big as will fit in my veg tent. About 16-18” tall. I give a week in the final pot after transplant and then bend the plant down and tie it to a clip on the pot. Also i tie the main stem with a brace at the base to the opposite side to keep the roots from pulling up. There are pics in my thread of this. Its basic lst but i do it during stretch aftwr week 1 to 10 days in to flower.
Also. And this is the most important in my opinion. Environment! Temps should be in the 75 - 77 degree range for best flower quality. I panic if my room stays at 80 for long. I also move the flowers away from the 600 hps a bit like maybe 2-4” lower to help preserve trichomes during ripening. And also taper off the feed strength as they need less and less as they finish.
Other than that you have done your homework. Great grow man! Im jealous of your nice room.
WOW! Nothing like doing shit right!6/21/19 - transplanted into 5 gallon black plastic pots with Happy Frog and added perlite
Wanted to do a tent, but it’s too hot here. The room has been a weekend project since March :) it’s been really fun! Had a couple offers to rent it out from friends. I guess if the growing doesn’t work out it will be a one bedroom. With lots of outlets. I’m hoping to keep the growing thing going!!! Thanks for looking!!!WOW! Nothing like doing shit right!I mean your whole setup...the room, lights, etc. That sure beats a tent...
