UB is short for uncle ben, he a member on here with a lot of good advice
yeh start off with a small pot and re pot into a 3 gal for finish
pull the sides down, just that my friend top the plant and as the shoots grow you pull the shoots down so there level
just like this
(garden wire is cut and bent into a long s hooks so it can pull the shoot down towards the pot ( one end hooks the outside of the pot under the rim and the other end holds the shoot in place) but only pull them down enough to make the canopy level
this will make the plants grow more bushy and give you a large canopy so you grow more bud

yeh they all look good, not sure I would like to grow that many different strains under 1 light, counted 10 seeds
are you using 5 at a time or you going for all 10 ?

I'm going to grow them separately I'm going to grow the critical. First most likely all 5 then after the diesel 5 then I'll see from there.. Shoot I might just hit up the three pineapples first but I'm growing for the love of weed like I said

So a total of. 1200watts and roughly about 150,000 lumens is good for 5 plants?thanks fellow I am growing northern lights
you can get fat juicy cola from most strains its all down to how you train the plant, look after them and its got to be 600w hps or higher to get the really large cola indoors
And no problem brother. Gotta give you props she looks real healthy and nl Is an amazing strain

5 plants under 2 600w.......err
ok you will need larger pots (5 gal) and a longer veg if you want to go down this road
plants will need to be very bushy to fill the space or you could do a scrog

Btw if. I'm running 5 plants would I be fine with just the. Hps600 and mh600 both running for all 5 or do I need two set ups for all 5thanks fellow I am growing northern lights

How much would I need to run all 5 and for them to grow strong and healthy? I can for sure run 3 plants under two 600 ? Ps those are some beauts! Those colas

Hps600 and mh600 work really well together in flower so the plants get all the light spectrum they need and its good to swap the plants round every couple of days
cheers mate it worked out really well, I had a 600w hps covering a 1.3m x 1m canopy with 6 plants
a 600w hps would keep 5 plants strong and healthy
scrog is an easy way to go if you want to flower 3 plants under two 600 but it will take couple more weeks in veg to get the larger canopy

just trying to find a good picture on Google, not done any large scrog with a single plant
its not great but take a look at this, you can train a single plant to cover a large screen

I googled it I didn't see this one . This is a nice set and that's one plant so bushy already must get some nice buds and colas!

that the great thing about a scrog you can veg for as long as you like so one plant could fill a screen to any size (as long as the plant don't get root bound) and you can pull 15 oz's or more off one plant under a 600w hps
root bound ( when the roots grow too big and circle the pot)
5 gal should be fine

Shoot I might try to scrog the 5 ck and put them under the 600 hps and mh lights see what that doesthat the great thing about a scrog you can veg for as long as you like so one plant could fill a screen to any size (as long as the plant don't get root bound) and you can pull 15 oz's or more off one plant under a 600w hps

I'm not one that cares about quantity but shoot if I can get 6-15 oz of dank I'd be very very happy !
