I'm using sensi Coco grow A and B pH to 5.8-5.9. The Coco has runoff pretty easily and I make sure it doesn't dry out at all.Look like they're growing pretty good to me. What water and cal-mag are you using? I've read that it's good to have runoff with coco. With those 5 gallon pots and little plants that's not really practical. I'm wondering how that will effect the grow. I think it might be better to start with smaller containers and pot up when needed. Have you checked out Justicemans sticky threads? (sticky to his posts)
Ya I was thinking if I F'd up the FIM then maybe I should move those too leaves that are cut in half to allow more light to those tiny new shoots. So I should take it off and let them grow out with the 2 new shoots? Or should I get rid of them completely so it is like a normal top. I think what happened was I went too low and TOPPed the one I was trying to FIM and the two leaves recovered leaving them with two new tops in between the leaves that should have been left alone. So now they are way behind instead of having nice big fan leaves next to the 2 new tops. Do I make any sense? LolThey're looking good. Let those two shoots at the top grow a little then top them too. And it looks like you're low stress training the top leaves. I would just stick to branches for the LST. Individual leaves grow out sideways anyways. Maybe take more on your next attempt at FIM.
I think you are 100% correct I took too much rendering it a regular topping. But since I cut those fan leaves in half basically instead of getting in between them they are way behind on growing. Once they grow out it will resemble more of a regular topping I presume. Thank you 1000 times tho. I was convinced I left too much and when you said that I looked closer and it clicked. I topped the new growth in between the baby fan leaves when I went too low.Actually I think you may have taken too much for a FIM. When you fem the center stock should keep growing, but slower to let the sides catch up. It looks like what you did was a topping, and you also got a little of the next set of leaves. It will still work fine. Should turn into a nice bush.
Thank you brotha I appreciate that big time. I must say though that it was lesson learned with the big pots that early. In attempt to keep the moisture up I noticed thru a drain hole that the bottom 3-4 inches of the bucket was getting pressed down and holding too much water. The look of overwatering tipped me off to check. I transplanted to 3 gal pots. May have lost about 2 days but they have been night and day better since. In regards to the ppm I tried to do it gradually but the added rhino skin and cal mag made it rough. I'm still learning the dance.I've gone through your thread and want to say kudo's! You're doing a great job growing in the homer buckets with keeping proper moister on the seedlings. I think your only mistake so far was doubling PPM's! I would of only went to about 300 to 350 PPM based on the numbers you have shown. I think you over fed and would go to water only in place of a feeding or two IMO.:)
