Hi jawbrodt.I`ve just been looking at your grow and have to say that i love your setup and also the tip`s on cloning are great. if and when my girls are feeling up to it i would like to give it a go. ;O)
I was brought up to use 10% perlite in potting mixes.Thanks for the compliment, much appreciated. If i hadn't let them dry to the point of drooping, twice, i wouldn't have all that yellowing near the bottom, but no biggie, they rebounded pretty well. Next time I'm using less perlite, I'm using 25%, and it's a bit too much, 'cause they are bone dry, 3 days after a heavy soaking. Makes it impossible to overwater, but dries a bit too fast, for my liking. I think 15% is about ideal, for bigger plants. Anyway....lol
...about the LST,...I'm a big fan, in all it's various forms. Idk if you want to go extreme, with the type where you keep the plant really low, encircling the rim of the pot, or if you would rather do like I did, and keep the plant centered, pulling the side braches outwards, making for a wide-bushy plant. Personally, I'd love to be able to grow outdoors, and grow a monster-wide plant. I pull a QP per plant indoors,(expecting 5-6 ozs each, this time, dried) so with a little luck, you should easily surpass that outdoors, depending on veg time, of course. Whichever you choose, I will say that the only real drawback to LST, is that you lose a little bit of time training them, but is well worth it, IMO, because yield is almost always improved. And, growing outdoors,...the sky is the limit, literally, and figuratively.lol
Is it just those 2 plants? If so, the area should work our really well. I'd flower them at about 16-18" if I were you, and that should keep the heigth right about where you want it. Also, yeah, I'd wait til they've regained their health, before doing any type of training on them. After a week or two, they should be okay to experiment with.Hello jawbrodt. That was a Quick reply. lol... Thank you... OK i`ll leave them till Next Saturday. I think there is more than enough water in them to last that long. I think it would be wise to also leave the LSTing for a bit as well ?. Did you read about the size of room that i would like to grow my girls to in above reply to you ? What do you think ?
Hi jawbrodt. Yes it is just the 2 plants at the moment. I`ve got a third growing from some bag seed that i had last September and started it the same time as my 2 Girls but it does`nt look anything like mj ? I`ll put a Pic. up so you can have a laugh then when you stop coz your Ribs are hurting maybe you might have an idea as to what it might be ?Is it just those 2 plants?

Hello bonjo78. This is my First time at growing anything and i jumped in with both feet and a blindfolddont have time to read all the replys but u should be using any treatment just as u should be usiong any skin treatmeant of urs and that means test 1st on remote area or start with low concetrations and work ur way up
u sure u didnt overdid in nahco ? did u sprayed the soil too ?
Thanks jawbrodt. For drainage i put in 6 Big handfuls of 15mm crushed slate (it was washed in boiling water first)(about 10%). I`ve been out of work for 18 month due to ill health and have no budget for perlite, and your right about slowing down for a week as it did. It has now started to grow up and outIt would have been quicker had i not tried to poison my girls with to much liquid soap
They were only transplanted just over a week ago in to their 7.5 liter pots so would they not be ok for another few weeks ? I`m going to be limited for space in the greenhouse if they get to big you see and i`ve got other fruit and veg. that i`m trying to kill i mean grow
