S7even (So weird calling you that...) , Im sure we can prune off the old small leaves. The ones with spots is just an old leaf. The plant no longer sends it the ability to photosynthesize so the lights is just burning off the final but of it's food and energy in those leaves. They can probably be done with.

I wanna try this new hash you obtained, sounds yummy. Any new bud?

Oh and as for Mrs. Plant (aka. I can't grow even with two noob's doing it) Wish her good night for me. Lol.

I'll message you tomorrow, and check your phone msn ever once in a while!

im thinking if your gunna prune do the top... those leaves will just die and go crispy if anyhing...

the point of pruning in to encourage new growth, since its sending all the new enery to the top,
once it gets there and see's theres no more top, it sends out 2 more shoots at the top to try and make up

ok so this morning she's still pushing out new leaf sets out of the top middle, I don't think she's in shock at all, or a very minor amount of shock has been done. I didnt see any slowing down or stoppage a growth what so ever since the transplant. I dont know if thats a good thing or a bad thing.
I guess prune was a bit harsh of a word, i just wanna get rid of the retard leaf sets near the bottom that are shriveld and crispy thats about it jus to kinda clean her up a bit u know? not like she'd be mad "wheres my retarderd leaf?!?! without it im lost" haha dont think thats gunna effect her to much.

You just wanna do minor lollipopping. Totally okay, so long as you leave plenty of sun leafs for her to soak up the light.
Any leaf with less than 5 "leafs" can totally go, they only produce those on the very bottoms.

That's all personal preference, I just switch mine straight to 12/12, but I've never tried the 24 hour dark before 12/12.

Once in 12/12 you wont see much upward growth for the first week, they are still trying to figure out there sex. But once they finish that, they start to grow quite quickly. I'll see if I still have a week by week photo lineup to upload if it will help ya.


Started flowering 12-29, harvested 2-23, last pic is on day of harvest, first pic is about a week into flowering. Enjoy!!!

well our order is in for those seeds and they should be our way within a week im excited to grow this enhanced WW.
I'm also excited to see how she recovers from the quick trim today

can't wait till morning and see how she looks after the trim kinda curious to see what will happen, i can't think much will because to promote new growth i have to cut the top right then u prune below that but i just took off leafs that had no meaning to the plant

Try and Find at Can. tire a 2 way splitter that's 100w max (That's what we have already) it's about 5-7$ - and the lights do what ever, you know the box and what's on it.

For socket to attach the splitter to, try and find a +50w, optimum growing power!
