Heres my first attempt at growing. Theres 3 different strains and i've used 3 different growing techniques to see which works best for me. 4 have been fimmed, 2 have been topped, 1 for 2 colas and the other for 4, and 2 are growing natural. There in 5gal pots and growing in canna professional soil using bio canna nutes under to 600w lights. How they doing? Any critisism good or bad welcome.:peace:

looks pretty good.
they could use some trimming though.
there is dead growth on the bottom as well as growth which will not produce and is just sucking energy from the plant.

Should i be feeding the plants nutes everytime i water them? or should i alternate between, nutes, water, nutes, water etc? i've been feeding them nutes according to the bottle measurements everytime i've watered them since they were babies and it doesn't seem to have harmed them? theve been under 12/12 for a week now and not much has happened, just gettin taller!! there 60inch now!! is this normal?? really dont wanna mess this up man:peace:

I usually water every 2-3 days giving nutes twice and then one day of just regular water. During flowering you dont need to water as much as the veg stage. Stop giving nutes 2 weeks before harvest to flush out all the chemicals. Looking good, you should start to see some buds coming in

thanks mate, i tried both topping for 2 main colas, and for 4 too, i also fimmed a few to see which works best for future reference. I'm just trying to find info on the bio canna range and to see what feeding schedules people use with it, as i've been using it at full strength since they were babies with no nute burn or anything and so far so good!! just wondering if this will have an overall effect and if i should slow it down a little and maybe give them water only occasionally?? their in 5gallon pots and i give them roughly 600ml each a day which they seem to be loving

topping always "works" better, IMO, because it is fool-proof.. fimming is a mystery... i really think its just luck because i have yet to see a reliable way of how to do this. since every plant is different, this makes all the much harder to perfect/explain. i have yet to have a successful fim, but all my toppings have gone perfectly
