Watch out for splitting the stalk, if you pull down on its branches too hard. Too much stress on that main split can cause it to crack open.

Still letting them grow out the mains and pull down the ends so the insides start rising up on the stems. Still figuring out the basics as this is my first grow but I think it's going good for a first time. Any suggestions ?

Defoliate what? its just a baby let her grow. leaves are solar panels I wouldn't cut until there are too many leaves or after flip when you see it covering buds sites but now when it needs the power absorbing panels I'd leave them.defoliate some big fan leaves towards the inside of the plant blocking nodes
if that was true topping wouldn't be beneficialDefoliate what? its just a baby let her grow. leaves are solar panels I wouldn't cut until there are too many leaves or after flip when you see it covering buds sites but now when it needs the power absorbing panels I'd leave them.
Noticed by who? Unlikely a $100, $500, or even $1000 difference at an apartment would be an issue, as long as the bill is paid. Running 1000w hps, fans, even a/c, my bill is just $123.
Last year this time, doing nothing, it was about $60.
No one is gonna say anything, or care about electric bill unless meter is bypassed
Bigger issue in apartments is smell and noise. Hell, when I was moving in to a spot once, my neighbor had a bag of Promix outside his front door. We all know no one is growing house plants with Promix. Stuff like that gets folks popped, not $200 electric bills
Shit mine was $140/month without doing anything indoor. Damn toddlers and old lady that think lights need to be on in empty rooms, or when the blinds are open and it's a sunny day. *puts dad voice away*
RogueWiz, shoot a PM. Your clones look healthy, I'm in the same region and leafly doesn't say good things about dispos for clones around here.
HPS is still more efficient 35% than led @ 25% and you'd have a real hard time convincing me that LED's will grow bigger badder buds than HPS will. I like the heat created from the light, I live where I either use the heat from a lamp or I have to add a heater ... savings lost on led lights. If you are restricted in area like in a tent then LED lights are the way to go but open air in a cold basement I need all the heat I can get.LEDs are the future my friend!! Do yourself a favor n get rid of that old light n upgrade!! Less stretching, thicker filler healthier plants not to mention if you happen to find one with a full spectrum mode you can switch to it will make your plants suuuuuper sticky and resinate like crazy during flowering. Cost less to run also!!
Agree. I started with the HPS/MH setup because it was easy for me , I had all the tools to run it and I know it will be very effective. LED lights are a very nice option with not having to run a cooling fan, but I know to get the results I'm going to get with my bulbs I would have to spend thousands on a quality board! I pieced my whole system together for 500$, I figure I'll use weed to barter and get a led board i can run for a mother plant in my house; no heat and pulls low amps I can just plug it in and it would probably thrive on, so I can pull clones when I'm flowering. I service many big pot grows and they know no question HPS Is the best for quality weed , but drives costs way up. They're in it for quick turnaround and cost effectiveness. That looks like a nice light losdamost! What are its specs and maybe a few more pics haha! Cost etc.HPS is still more efficient 35% than led @ 25% and you'd have a real hard time convincing me that LED's will grow bigger badder buds than HPS will.

My indoor gardening cost for electricity is around $100 -15% tax inc. = $60 for the 1000w hps $40 for fans 4 oscillating fans + 3 bathroom exhaust fans, I use for 1 for intake and 2 for exhaust, my veg room 320 W t5 lights & seed box 110W t5 lightsAgree.
