bro....your plants look hot. love em. Maybe you can experiment with super cropping with plant 1? Since the fim didnt work out you can super crop the main stem to allow more side node growth? IDK look into it. I LST'd + supercropped the shit out of my Rhino stomper, check out my journal in my sig would love to see you there.


Great plants, good growing my dude. +rep if i could.


edit: i also am a hydro baby, so super cropping works supppppper well with hydro


edit2: im not saying super cropping is shit in soil, because its not but in hydro the recovery time is much shorter

BUMP. I plan on adding the photos of number 3 in awhile. Either rollitup is freaking out, or my net/computer is. No photos are appearing in any of the posts on this thread, and the photos when uploading for number 3 get red X's next to them rather than a green check mark.

Thanks all.

Thanks RL :D. Do you think once the runt reaches 13 inches flowering the girls will be pretty good? I remember you said you flowered at 12 inches. I am just kind of paranoid lately. We aren't allowed to have pets at are apartments, but luckily we have an awesome landlord. She won't enter without your permission/calling you first. We do have a cat, and someone said to her that they saw the cat. Luckily when she asked me yesterday, and luckily I am good with keeping calm and my composure, she believed me 100%.

Along with that, as I stated above, I have spent so much money stocking on seeds I have no medicine money. So the sooner the girls are done, the better. I just hope at the height they are now I'll average 2.5-3 OZ. per plant.

I am heading to your journal now, and I am definitely going to look into LST'ing the one. Is it just as simple as tying one side down, then doing it to opposite sides?

Thanks again, and I would +rep but I gave to you already xD.

Thanks raider for the compliments, they are very appreciated. +Rep to you, and it was a super bummer that they were down for a couple of days. On the plus side it seems that its all back to normal :D.

Thanks again ^_^

They are looking great buddy, in reply to you're answer i'm going to give you a few pictures you should save to you're computer as they really helped me they have their own folder
This is a chart showing how many lumens your plant's will receive depending on how close you're HPS is
View attachment 2158844
Although remember to keep it at least 10inches from the top HPS's get really hot

Pictures to help you identify deficiency's
Chart for area of symptons.jpgDeficiency.jpg
Chart to show you the best PH to aim for for what nutrients are needed/showing why 6.5 is best for soil and 5.8 is better for coco or hydro (remember to take runoff into account), my coco has a runoff of 0.2 so if i put the feed in at 6 when it get's into the coco it becomes 5.8
Nutrient Chart.jpg
When nodes are alternating they are ready to be put into flower, if you put plant's into flower when one or some of them are not alternating they will take longer to start making bud increasing you're flowering time

Feel free to post on my wall if you want any more help/advice or with updates best of luck

Thanks Ellies. After all the advice you gave me before I even started growing, you still are helping :D. +Rep to Ellies :D. I never even understood REP until I started my own thread, and I would have gave it to you forever ago.

I'll be keeping a close eye on your journal. For your first grow, its quite amazing.

Thanks again, and all of those photos you posted are a great help for now and in the future :D.

So I was just looking at number two, and I discovered something quite odd.

I got a couple shots of it. It's a double node growth. This growth is on one of the many GIANT nodes on number 2. I found it interesting, and I've never seen it before, so I figured I'd show you all :D.

Not too sure if there are anymore, as I haven't looked yet. I've also noticed a few odd leaves. Some with six leaves, some with eight, as I did early when they were still babies.

Thanks everyone :D.

Well there is not much to keep an eye on much longer they should be getting harvested on sunday but yeah it's been a good run in between 2 - 3 weeks i'll do a journal of pictures from start to finish including drying and curing.
Yes this grow has been quiet interesting on what i managed with my budget and help from close but somewhat distant friends but my next grow is going to be very interesting as i'm going to be spending a lot on new equipment and i'm going to aim for a Kilo of 8 plant's possibly a wilma more likely a waterfarm set up with a couple of HPS's but well see what i can sort out...
I hope your girls grow big and strong mate

And those double growths are normal my plant's have a few they grow an okay amount of bud on, just when you put them into flower cut the small nodes(mainly the lower ones depending on the plant's structure) as these won't produce very big buds and they use energy that could go into main colas, i wish i did this earlier than i did 4 weeks into flower but it definitely makes a difference

What is the optimum temperature? 75-80 F? I want to start shutting the rooms door, but that being open allows cooler air in as the room is warm normally. I dont want to fry them xD

Thanks all :3

anything between 72-85 is ok.anything higher will start stressing and stretching the plant.they love ac air blowin on them as well..my og18 did better in warmer temps than cooler.

under 80F, unless adding CO2
Thanks scrog and rdr:D. +Rep to scrog for the input.

The girls are at 15 inches each, and the nodes on #3 are looking great. Im going to guess that flowering will be triggered Sunday as I called this past Sunday. That way number three will look like number two :p.

Thanks all :D
