Stealthy there is a guy on ebay selling 2lb tubs of cha ching for £50!! Its about 40 quid per lb usually on ebay He said he has got a few but im only having one and that will last months and month so thought id let you know.

I think i will be topping tomorrow as i measured earlier and its almost at 12". What does lollypopping involve mate? Im thinking trim away all of the smaller growth so the main colas getmore light? Im just not sure when to do it or how much to actually leave?

 

[Griffta]

yeah lollypopping sounds like it could be an option for my limited space. Finally flipped mine to 12/12 the other day mate

Hi dude, Here's a couple of video's on 'Lolli-popping' they should help :-

This is another good idea you could use to get a bigger yield :-

Hope that helps man! .. I know you want to Flower asap lol, I really wish you'd wait until they are between 15" and 18" tall, after they have been lolli-popped, the bud sites at the top need to be pretty big, the bigger and stronger the bud-sites, the bigger and heavier etc the buds will be

Also note: If you tie down you plants stems/branches you wont have to worry about grow height! As you could train the branches to your preferred height

I think what with powerful Led Panals and Large DWC pots + Top Class nuits, it would be a shame to Flower just yet.. when you could get them trained and strengthened up to 18". Then when you put them into Flower you'll be amazed at the size and quantity of the buds you get I'll try n find some pics of plants put into Flower at 12" and plants put into Flower at 18" this way you will be able to see whats achievable etc.. Your cab is truly worthy of some big voluptuous ladies, and would be super cool to use your grow enviroment to its fullest potential ... Especially given its your 1st grow, and start as you mean to go on etc etc..

The difference in yield can be anything up to a few oZ difference for each of the 4 Flowering plants, purely by letting them grow a few more inches, and allowing the branches to strengthen etc,,

And when you take into consideration your overall dry weight will be roughly 75% less than your wet weight.. I'd get the biggest and most buds you possible can (by Vegging longer - 15 - 18") first then you know full well you'll be very happy with the end dry weight, THC count and bud form.

Hope this is helpful to you, and you trust what I say when I say wait a little longer - STELTHY

No i wont be flowering yet mate just topping as the plant is now 12" high, il top now and wait until it reaches 15" before i bang the lot onto flower, im hoping by then the smaller plants wil be 12-15" in height also.

As im still buying weed it is tempting to rush but i have listened to your advice mate and i feel more patient now. Im not sure what to do next lol after these go in the flower cab ill wait a week or so and get more seeds on, that will again give me plenty of time to veg them without having to rush.

I fancy doing some really dank strains even if it means perhaps sacrificing quantitya little bit, i may try super lemon haze as i hear its dank and also yeilds well.

 

[BudBaby]

That tying looks realy good thanks for the links, tbh i dont think ill get that much stretch as there led lights but as its my first grow ill let these get to 15" and then flower them, hopefully this will give me a decent indication of how much ill be able to veg future plants, i know height is strain dependant but it will still give me an idea. Hopefully ill able to get them up to around 20"

Im so glad i got a veg cab now as i wont be tempted to ever rush them once there both up and running as the flower cab will be full and the veg light is no good for flower

If you can find it, get 'Morrison Haze' its proppa Hardcore and smells so so nice.. I cant find seeds anywhere for it though Infact why not get 4 different Haze strains that would be great I want to do a Haze strain next but gotta wait a few months... - STELTHY

 

[BudBaby]

I used to smoke alot of soma seeds amnesia haze when i was buying mail order from holland, 14 week flower on it but its really really strong. Its sort of a 2 dimensional buzz i call it, your totally wasted but you can function also, it does live up to the name aswell as you forget what your doing lol.

I like indica more than sativa but im def gonna do 2 super lemon haze next time and i may try 2 indica's also. I really want to grow a kush, im just not sure which one is closest to an original kush or a clone only like og kush, i know you can get og kush seeds but i think they are backcrossed versions of the original clone only so not realy the same.

Stealthy mate do you ever have problems with your timers? The one im using for my veg light works fine for a couple of weeks then every now and again ill check the cabs and the light hasnt gone off, it happened this morning and as there vegging im not to bothered (they got an extra hour) but its a concern when flowering as if i keep to the same times for the lights they will be meant to go off at half 3 in the morning so obvioulsy i dont want them staying on until i get up.

There on auto and when it happens the dial seems to be working as normal but it just doesnt go off when its meant to and just stays on even though the dial is going round as normal???

 

[BudBaby]

I think i may try a couple of digital timers as i think i have lost faith in the ones i have, digi ones are only a tenner a pair so worth it to try them out.

Hi dude, I did have some problems with my 1st timers (B&Q shitty 3 Pack) they didn't keep good time the best ones I've found and have used with no problems are the Envirolite Timers there £20 each and are anologue, but are good quality

Sometimes timers have a switch on the side that needs to be slid in a certain direction in order to make the timer function as it should, I hope this helps - STELTHY

Yeah good quality digital timers are always a good way to go! How many do you need? - STELTHY

 

[BudBaby]

I only need 2 mate as i have the veg cab fan on 24/7 now its getting hotter. These ones are called grasslin timers or something but i just dont trust them now, as i say they were still going round as they should when set to auto but they just werent turning off. Id say it happens every couple of weeks, its weird.

I have noticed what looks like burn holes on the untopped plant so i have raised the light a little, they must be really powerfull as there definately burns as you can see the brown marks around the small holes.

 

[stelthy]

Have you get any new pics to upload yet? Also I wonder have they started to smell yet? - STELTHY

Hmm.. I don't know to much about the quality of digital timers, but I am guessing they will keep to true time, alot better have you got any in mind? - STELTHY

There starting to smell more now as there getting bigger mate, when you open the cabs if its fairly humid there is a decent pong coming off them but with the doors shut you cant smell a thing

Here are some pics mate, im really pleased with progress from 5 days ago

I was thinking these mate http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Digital-LCD-7-Day-Electronic-Plug-Timer-Switch-24hr-/310231791780?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item483b4178a4


Cha ching came today and ive already got pk 4/10 i think its called now lol so all ready, im thinking another week or so and they will be ready to go, the big plant i topped the other day has 2 new main colas starting now The small plant is weird has it has loads of roots but just doesnt seem to grow at the same rate as the others. You were right about me topping to early, i think i may next time do the uncle bens technique but wait until they are bigger before i do it. Saying that though the branches on the 4 cola plants are getting thicker.

lol good luck all with your plans in 2011
