I took 3-4 from the middle! Damn wasn't any low on Sharona. On LA gorda only 1 from the bottom. Took 2 from LA chapa. I want to show you how bare it looks but lights are out till 6 am. I probably shouldn't sneak in & take pic could I?

Ive noticed an increase in flower sites since Ive been using mag-pro from dynagro. I use about a week before and after flip and have been pleased. Good luck!

OK I was advised to wait until 21 days,get past the growth spurt then I add nutes. I haven't added anything & in ffof. Hey my local hydrostore brews a tea how is that for flower time?

I feed a little in veg. I find it helps the plant to not yellow out in flower as easily. I think is the built up nitrogen thst keeps it green through the stretch. For the feeding question, just watch the plants. If theyre pale, feed, if theyre curling or burning at the tips, ease off. Personally i feed on the high side usually. I dont want a few bucks in food costing me a yellowed out harvest or weak smoke.

That will be part of your problem.. Your starving your plants when they need to be fed the most.

I used to feel the same way and would continue nothing but grow nutes for a couple weeks after flip.. mag-pro is 2-15-4 and I throw some in the feed about once a week starting a week before flip and continue through week 4 or 6 depending on how long I'm planning on running things..

I still feed grow nutes for 10-14 days to keep it green like @Alienwidow said

OK $ coming in tomorrow. So I am definitely getting some food for them. OK I have used Overdrive in past outdoor grows on huge sativa's. I have an excellent hydrostore has all the brands. Might try foxf product. $ issues kept me from earlier feed. St least there in killer soil

Thank you cherryp & alienw. All of you have helped me along soo much! All your grow secrets are priceless to me! RIU too. I learned about foxfarm light schedules cloning trimming. Seed germ & stages too. I already knew a lot from experience too. Thanks

The bud sites are not has important has how close they are to each other,you wanting them to be has close has possible,this is the only wayof getting them to join up and then form large fat baseball bat bud's

i am hoping for a LB! Doing my first Scrog, and got 7.5 oz w/out a scrog net, just lst'ing. Heres to hoping for that pound! Cheers!

A lb is pretty easy to hit green thumbs,just grow them bigger with the net set about 6/7 inch above the plants,Start flowering at around 2 1/2 ft if possible,and then with the netting been that bit above the plant,this gives you a bit of stretch time,has soon has they hit the netting just keep tucking the tops under the netting,and you will easy get a lb,the plants should end up around 5 5/1 ft tall by the end of the grow.My plants at the minute are just under 6 ft tall,there massive,the buds are by far the heaviest i have ever had them,the blues plant,i say that at least 7/8 tops will dry to a oz,i normally grow with a net over them but this time i let them just do there own thing,and they are holding each other up,you know the buds are at a good weight when one fell back wards other day,towards the fan ,it hit it and knocked it over.

Also a other good tip,is if you are growing more than one strain under one light say a 600 ,then that is what your problem will be use 1 light per plant,i use a 600 per plant,and add a extra light at week 5 of flowering,sometimes less is more,So that is like 2 x 600's one over each plant,and then a floating light at week 5 that i sometimes drop really low in the room around the plant bottoms,i do take most of the bottom growth of,but i do leave some on because i use the fluffy or small dense buds to make oil or rosin,or hash with dry ice

Good luck bro hope you get what weights you want from your grow,i don't need,you to wish me luck i know that not a auto on earth will produce 1 kg per plant it is not possible,i do not care what they say,its just there way of getting new growers to buy the seeds money making scam,but i am going to prove them wrong,togeather we have around 43 years growing between us.

ya, them marketers will say the damndest things to make a sell, wont they? same problem when it comes to LED lighting, and the ludicrous claims they make to replacing HPS of equal wattage, and shit like that. That sort of thing drives me crazy. Have to take everything with a grain of salt when it comes to reading that sort of stuff. I just go straight to the grow journals, and first hand accounts. Real growers have no reason to bullshit us!
also,
thanks for the advice!
