So I took the 3 that weren't tied down into a room without all of that yellow light and damn they are green and smell yummy! The last one is the one I tied down. They didn't stand up and it makes me worry. If I should redo it please tell me and give me a tip. I'm really only working with 3 feet in there with that light and the ceiling being only 4 feet tall... so yea... 2 feet because of the pots... I'm thinkin scrog in there next time. That is the only way that would seem to work...

The reason it is not turning upwards its because you tired them down at such a low point on branch but don't worry the buds will still form, when tying down you wanna start when its ntheew growth so it can form easy but whats going to happen from here is any new growth will grow upwards during the stretch period so no worries, the buds will be exposed to more light this way as a matter of fact, and with you have a 4' vert height you may honestly have only 2 1/2 of usable grow height not including pot because even though your light has glass on it the light can still bleach your plant at a close distance even out of burning range so with that being said you may want to go all your plants the way you lsted the other one, and be prepared for the next go around.


Pssst your sock monkey is showing ;)

fresh air all day.....and maybe a little h2o. Have you thought about making something so you can give some co2. I heard this helps in some way when you can possibly have high temps from time to time. I think I'm gonna make one.

But be careful as you are bending them at a spot that could easily break.

Noted. Thank you! I will just lay em all over. That one kinda stood up some... So I'm just gonna lay the others down again I might have to start watering them daily. I watered / fed today and I think that helped a lot! The buds are gonna be good though?

This is them all tied down! (hot) Remind me next time to get some chicken wire and some more 2x2s and build me a scrog scenario... I'm thinking that's what's going to work best in there!

P.S. I'm glad to see RUI coming back to life a bit! Now for the like button!

O I broke the FUCK out of my one that I broke a long time ago... It was splitting down the center I took a good amount of that string that I had and I tied it all up there in order for it to stay together. It still has about 1/4 in of a gap is it going to be ok or am I going to have to stick something in it?

Im loving your box mane, now you can use the other box for veg. and pull a harvest every couple of months or sooner depending on how you work it, and the split is fine, also how long have they been in flower.

THANKS! I would but I'm going to move here shortly and I don't want to get started on a clone shop n stuff yet. I'm going to be moving to NCal in about 2 months-ish. I've had em in flower for 2 weeks.

Thanks a lot man! I've been bustin balls getting this thing right. If that girl doesn't show up for this plant soon I'm going to weave it into the mix somehow. I really have maxed my space out with 3 of these plants atm. I'm sure I could make the 3rd fit if I had to.

got em all tied down they are all female and I'm going to treat them as such. I'm done with the hermie game! If it does have male parts it only makes like .03 of one a day and I don't think that's how it works so I'm just gonna keep on it and raise me some ladies! Fun fact! My wife and I refer to the girls as "las plantas" If you didn't know already that's spanish for The plants. We like it because spanish femonizes the word plant and we felt it was sending girlie vibes their way!
