They look good just keep them off of the soil, I like the large solar panels while in veg, If you want them to stretch out more you can add red led lights ( cheap amzon). Then they'll jump up off the pots, its good to keep a fan blowing over the top of the pots they like a little dancing not a hurricane just a gentle breeze and don't cut leaves that aren't damaged, They should start moving north up off the pots soon enough.........if that helpsThis plant is 5.5View attachment 1314621View attachment 1314622 weeks old on 18/6 lighting. I've noticed it's just a little bit less perky than my other plants. Should I cut off those lowest leaves that are touching the soil to maybe increase ventilation a bit? Thnks
Do you think they shud stretch a bit more? I was aiming for a stocky plant but don't want t to be unhealthyI would cut off lowest.
Touching soil is an invitiation to deseases.
Hang lights up a 10-30% of what u have now if u want a bit more stretch
they will stretch during 12/12 anyways the first weeks, if you wanted them stocky, mission accomplished ;)Do you think they shud stretch a bit more? I was aiming for a stocky plant but don't want t to be unhealthy
I'm sure this is correct but sometimes I wonder if they even need leaves. Just kidding I know they do but I've grown some great weed with good yields on plants that have really unhealthy looking leavesLeaves are very important for many reasons. First of all, they are solar collectors that absorb light and the more leaves the plant has the more light it can absorb, the more it can grow. Secondly, a leaf has 100s tiny mouth that breathes gases out of the stomata and regulates the moisture from the roots back to the atmosphere. Thirdly the leaves hold stored nutrients for the end of the plant's life when flowering to insure reproduction survival.

I always grow a single feminized seed, which I top and lollipop, but I'm beginning to evolve my thinking about defoliation.I'm sure this is correct but sometimes I wonder if they even need leaves.

I grow in 2x4 tent and do 2 or 3 plants in 9 or 12 litre pots. I top plants and maybe do some light lst and usually get about 12 ounces of weed. Im not an experienced grower and still never really know how much to defoliate so usually I just leave them to grow. This grow I decided to try to really reduce stretch and produce short compact plants. Im happy with the way they turned out but still not sure if to defoliate a bit or not because they are looking overcrowdedI always grow a single feminized seed, which I top and lollipop, but I'm beginning to evolve my thinking about defoliation.
I started growing with a 3'X3' tent in a 3 gallon cloth pot using a 50/50 mix of Peat and Vermiculite ammended with lime and gypsum. Five months later I've got a six ounce yield of LA Con plus 14g of kief.
Today, I grow in a 7 gallon cloth pot using CoM's Stonington Blend which was designed as the ideal soil to grow cannabis in and I'm expecting a 14 to 16 ounce yield by early March plus 2 to 3 ozs of kief.
I lollipop and top once and do alot of low stress training, but I find that I'm more of a sculptor now than a barber and my yields have not suffered in my opinion. That's my current grow at 12 days in veg and I'm keeping her short with tight nodes.
