Round 2!! Cotton candy, afgooey, money maker!

[Sandiegogrow]

hey guys it's round 2 time first one was filled with a lot of ups and downs with a plant that produced 10 gs... This time is going to be much better I hope. Totally cool if you post suggestions on how to improve but I can't really help anyone as I am still learning lol I'm attempting a one picture per day all the way through. Can't wait to see yalls responses!!

They're an awesome group of people!!! The cotton candy is definitely growing the fastest but they were all super healthy

Switched the cotton candy and afgooey because the CC is sprouting up! Also put up a better picture of the whole box.

I'm gonna keep em comin!

Little adjustments to box that I should have done before I put clones in but I was too lazy lol now we're really rolling. Moving to 600W MH in a week or so once these babies take

Cotton candy on the right is making moves! If anyone's paying attention would this be a good time to think about topping?

CC two on the left, Afgooey two in the back, money maker up front. Blasting up!

Kinda jumbled for light purposes. They'll be in set spots once we move to flowing room just insuring these babies are super strong before we hit them with the 600w MH

Yep

I think there are 2 approaches to topping:

• one is to top early while the shoots are still small - that is, to pinch off the top sprout that would make the 5th tier of leaves as soon as it starts growing.
• Another is to let the plants grow up more nodes and then to cut them back to tier 4 or so.

Personally I prefer the first way, as there is less energy wasted on growth that will then be removed anyways.

So yes, for the first approach, now's the time

I don't know the strains you're growing, but it looks like the CC has more of a hang towards sativa than the others -- have you given thought to how you will handle possible differences in height between strains?

CC is cotton candy the names on the pots are curtesy of the Roomate haha they're all indica dominant technically but I heard cotton candy stretches. I'm going to pinch the top node in a week or so once we move to 600w MH. And as for the canopy heights not at all! Either topping the cotton candy works or going to be using old DVDs to raise the pots up to create on canopy I guess! Lol

Thanks for checking it out!

Makin the move to our "big tent" on Friday wish me luck!

 

[Sandiegogrow]

Everything went swimmingly. First time using a real light! It's sketch haha those things get hot! Timer won't work for one reason or the other so I'm plugging and unplugging myself til I get a better timer
