Make a support tie, it will keep the plant more steady and not tug on the roots. Then make the first LST tie, if that makes sense. Looking good though Joos.

What is a support tie? Do you just tie to the stem and tight to the rim of your bucket?

The support tie is the first tie you make on the plant, usually right around 2 nodes or so. You tie the off the branch at the bottom but not super tight like you were going to bend it. The support tie keeps it straight, helps with the first initial bend and helps not tug on roots. The support tie doesn't bend the plant at all, it is just tight enough to keep the main/meristem in place.

So say your support tie is going from the plant to the south, you'd want your first bend to go from the plant north. Your initial bend is ALWAYS opposite of your support tie.

Ok I get it that totally makes sense. Speaking of tiring down the last lady I topped I did so there were 4to colas coming off the main stem, I cut above the second node, but I evidently tied the branches down a little tight and she split right down the center of the stalk so I twist tied it back together real tight and it actually grew back together then proceeded to grow around the twist tie to where I couldn't see it any more

Yeah these plants are amazing, duct tape on snapped branches can heal the branches back too. I've had to do that before, when my buds just snapped the branches.

Yeah when I supercrop I wrap the stem with masking tape so its easier to hold a more gradual curve instead of a 90° angled elbow

She is on the very very VERY start of swelling, you are right around the corner of harvest. I went ahead and compared your 8 week pictures with these, and you can see a minimal swell with the calyxes and you'll notice that the hairs are starting to recede/get shorter as the calyxes swell more. Looks great GPC, keep up the fine work.

High All, well todays the day, HARVEST TIME!!!!:hump: the 250 closet grow has come to an end and is going DIE!!!!:cry: :twisted::twisted::twisted:

She did extremely well! she lived life in a 3 gallon planters pot in a combo of happy frog and oceans floor soils! and seemed to luv it! she'll be missed! lol!!! but her fruits will be loved:hump:

Below are some pics of her and her sister (which was grown outside) the sun obviously kicks a$$ on a 250, but the "little light that can" did very well for itself!!! I'm very happy with what I can do with 250 watts of light!!:twisted: below are at 85 days for the 250 and late may for the outside girl! thanks for looking. yeti:joint:

hi i made a thread but i think i should of posted it on here just wanted some advise im a 250wat user i guess i fit in here lol please provide advice on this thread https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/477447-full-spectrum-bulbp-hps-grolux.html i just wanted help on which bulb i should use through out. thanks

Neither of those are considered "Full spectrum", one is blue/daylight and the other is red/bloom. You get full spectrum by using both the blue and red spectrums, you could even throw in some uv for the purple. If you are asking which bulb would do best in a full grow, from start to finish a HPS would do you better justice, just my 2 cents.

Also welcome to the club.
