Need some advice here please, the three Cold Creek Kush girls are fattening up nicely, as is the Sour Diesel.

However, the SD has light/dark patches on a large number of fan leaves. A couple leaves are getting brown dry spots now.

What's wrong? I'm likely missing something or overdoing something that the other three don't seem to be affected by.

Here are pictures at day 33 of flower. You can clearly see my issues on the SD on the close up images.
Can you show me some pics of how tall your plants were before 12/12?

Hey quick qeustiom guys. I recently had to move and the new place isn't wired for our RV yet. Tomorrow we are finishing the installation up and I will have full electric. My question is. I've had my plants In my bathroom where there is a nice skylight for indirect sunlight. It will be a total of 5 nights with no 600w HPS light But instead indirect sunlight Will they be alright? Do you think it will effect them a lot? They are all Manifolded in some way. One has 10 cola. One has 4 cola. And another has 6 but it's 2 big and 4 smaller It was only suppose to be for a night or two and just took them longer to get time to open the box up for me to install breather and shit. But once that's back up everything will be back to normal. Feeding full set of Coco nutes and monster bloom and molasses The buds on the 6c are quite dense in the middle already. I plucked a few lower popcorn buds and 24hr quick dried just to see what they would be like so far and was suprised The 10c is the same strain WWxBB and not near as smelly and nice looking yet. And the 4cola is an Afghani

I am not sure here. ....but 5 days is long enough to affect plant growth,
but what sort of "day-length" can you expect with your skylight?

You might want to throw something over the skylight-window to make
sure that the ladies stay on 12/12

I have seen where low light can cause nanners too, so check for those.

Good luck,

JD

Ok. Thanks for reminding me to check for nanners. I actually Thot of t before but forgot again. And it's Florida and it is also September which plants would be going into flower naturally outdoors too. I never really Thot about the times but now that I think of it It's light around 6-7 and dark around 6-7 so it's pretty damn close

I'm wondering if everyone that chose to mainline was satisfied with their decision? I came across a post entitled mainlining is it worth it? In RIU and everyone commenting on it seems to be unsattisfied with their decision to mainline. Few reasons for that were amount of time it took for plans to recover after trimmings and reduced yields. What do you guys think and say? Thanks
Bro, if you look back at this thread to my final dried and cured weight, you will see that with the right attention, conditions, and nutrients... combined with the right strain, there is no disappointment from me.

I harvested over 1 gram per watt in a 4x4x7 space, running a 400 w mh for veg and 400 w hps for flower.

Totally worth it. I'm going to germinate some seeds here again any day now.

If you haven't mainlined yet, try it. You'll be hooked!

Early flower?
Yes, Pictures are from week 2 of flower. before flipping to flower and getting all this stretch i was thinking that the manifolding technique wasn't worth it after veging them for about 2 months but now theyre filling out and the canopy is full of thick tops I'm happy.

Okay guys, for me it's that one time of year .... grow season starts. I only grow 4 plants once a year in my small tent. Some people here might have seen my updates before. I grow in 4's which means I have 4 plants, with 4 mainlines in my 80x80cm tent using cob LED's. My sig has my growing style. The second half of the thread is my grow that I'll be mimicking this time around. I like different strains so each plant I try to have different.

Here is the smoke report from my last grow

I need some advice on the 4 seeds I should choose. I want to grow 4 different plants. Each plant must be from female seeds and from the same shop, Europe based. I want reliable seeds as I am currently on a limited budget (aren't we all?). In my last grows I mainly had real pick me up highs. Like most people, I do enjoy these the most. In saying that I miss the body stone and would like to try a good mainline with one of those.

So can you guys throw 4 good varieties my way?

Photo proof ... only a mainliner does this hehehe

I have two 7gal with colas finally touching lower ring of tomato cage. The "reshaping time" kills me, but it's worth it.

"Hay Z" from Ministry of Cannabis. Smells great already, a cross of Super Silver Haze and Neville's Haze. New COB array kicking out 1100 PPFD max. Cheers!

Hi Y'all! Newbie here! Got my first grow in flower which got way out of control for my space so I'm trying the manifold/ mainlining technique this go around. Not sure if I'm supposed to keep topping if one side gets taller or just tie her down? I don't want to get to wide. Also am I supposed to be pruning her more?

Looks good to me. I left fan leaves on for faster recovery from pruning.

So the difference in canopy height is fine?
If it's not in flower you can supercrop. Which in this means pinch, don't break off - the new tallest growth to "stunt it's growth" so the others will catch up. If you're in flower then tie it down. Mine are uneven and I don't care. But my grow has 10' ceilings

Oh wow! 10' ceilings would be awesome! So pinch only and not bend? Bending would make it wider which I don't want.
