Im going to start of by letting you all know that jebus created coconut trees so man has a kickass way to grow buds indoors,
Now down to business.......my setup is 3 x 10L pots
1 sensi northern lights and 2 female seeds, big bud x WW
A 600w hps with a screen (65cm diameter )
House and garden coco nutes for veg and canna for flower
And a diy feed system with 4mm feed hoses and 60L res. Today is day 1 of flower , pics will be up very soon , updates will be roughly weekly .
This is my first vert grow but I have pretty optomistic expectations of 1lb of mj , previous best of 12 oz singleplant lst 600w , any questions guys just shout out

Sounds promising

I'm doing pretty much the same thing, just waiting on seeds. (They just don't seem to rock up. FML)

Starting with 250w MH for veg and then moving to a 600w for flower, going to have 2 in veg and 2 in flower 18L pots . (6 plants for a week or so when I'm taking a cutting)
Will be training and topping plants around a 2 and a half foot vertical scrog around the 600w.
As well as a bit of vertical scrog arround the 250 towards the end of the veg because of the large size I'm hoping for (doing a long veg)

Growing in soil because its my first grow and seems a little more idiot proof.

Its all well and good in theory but will see how I go.

ok so this is a pic of day 1 flower they are now at week 1 , not much to see just a bit of streching , filling up the screen pretty quick, i may have flipped them a little late ,but il worry about that when it happens , il put some more pics up on sunday or monday , just starting to see some bud development now , im sure they will burst out with white hairs next week,
iv just swithched to canna coco ab last week and very impressed so far , my ph is perfect and stable , unlike h @g which i found i was constantly adding ph down , a real pain in the ass and made growing alot more maintainance


and the white fabric and electrical tape is to stop fungus gnats , those slippery little gypsys cramp my style , theyve since dissapeared from my grow room

Unlucky bro !!I had 3 /3 pop but one wwxbb was slow and retarded so I ditched it, The wwxbb is a very compact plant , probably to dense for this style growing , the sensi northern lights is a superior plant imo its much more vigorous and its trunk is 1/3 bigger in diameter (they were all sprouted the same day)

Seeds started germinating on the 20th of june pepper towel and what not , planted in soil first sprout is just starting to come through on the 24th. getting pretty cold here at night so have them on my bed side table while I sleep (its way warmer in my room) defnatly becoming my little baby's. Strongly considering playing them some motsart to make themgrow up big strong and smart.

2x Hawaiian skunk haze regular
1x delicious cotton candy female
2x strawberry blue female

1.JPG its about two weeks flower ,starting to see early bud development. slow but steady , they seem healthy so far and are filling up the screen fast . hopefully they dont stretch tp much more , of il have to start pruning fan leaves when the plant overlap...

Can someone let me know what I should do with the budsites /leaves that are getting shaded by other leaves ? Should I leave them or remove, I want this grow to yield well but im not sure what would be the best method ?

Iv read in one of the threads that mid flower , removing the fan leaves that arnt coming out of buds would be beneficial?
How do I maximise my yield as some of my plants are pretty dense already at 2 weeks flower

it depends on what you're looking for from them. I've defoliated before and while it made the secondary buds frostier, I lost a lot of weight in the end.

One other thing , sensi northern lights (that im growing ) says it finishes in 45-50 days....
But since its only throwing white hairs at 2 weeks... would it be safe to assume that these plants will take about 8 weeks?
I just cant see them finishing by week 6 or even 7 ?

The plants are done when they tell you they're done in your environment. People get too hung up on a number, just chill and check her every day when you think it's gettin close man.

This is correct, the flowering time given by breeders is just a rough guide based on growing the strain in their conditions. So many things can effect finish time, just keep an eye on it and look for the signs.

I think its going to be delayed a week or so anyway as the plants showed serious signs if over fert!
Couldnt figure out what the fuck was going on , ended up bying some calibration stuff for my ec meter , and turns out what I thought was 1.1 ec was actually 2.3 ec!!! The meter is so shit i couldnt even callibrate it , it reached the end of its range and was still out! Its been this way the whole grow , dont know how they got this far?

The wwx bb plants only got dark green but the northern lights got the claw and has slowed right down , they are on 0.5 ec for a week then will slowly raise it
And now im the proud owner of a bluelab ec pen

Wow that sucks, what brand EC metre? I've had blue lab stuff for ages and it has never steered me wrong.

The wwxbb can take a heavy feeding, I wouldnt worry to much, I dont know about the NL though,
