It looks like you topped it and then never vegged the tops but went straight to flower... Not a good idea if that is what you did.Found an article on neem oil you should check out, you can water your plants with it (they love it!!) and it gets inside the plant and bugs won't go near it...it takes about 1-2 weeks for it to start working but I'm seeing a dif already...NO BUGS..Hallelujah!! and new growth!!! Thanx for askin..

First of all, when i went out and brought my gear 2 months ago my Main rule of thumb i had was to grow with simplicity, and keep it that way with future grows. As far as yield is concerned as its my first outting in this game im aiming low, into the 2-3 oz range so lets see how it goes. Enjoy
Okay so heres my Setup...
Coco Coir Medium.
20L Pots
Drainage
Nutes:
SensiGrow A+B
SensiBloom A+B
Grandma Enggys F1+H2
Sensizyme
CalMag
Lighting:
Sunmaster HPS Bulb
600W DigitalSun 110% Lumen Dimmable Ballast
Mantis Pro Reflector
200W CFL
Air Con:
6" Extractor
6" Carbon Filter
Circulating PowerPlus Fan.
1200Lx1200Wx2000H(cm) Grow Tent.

Feedings: I'm Feeding every day apart from 7th day which i just water without Nutes.
Veg:
Weeks 1,2,3 - 1L water, 2ml of Sensigrow A+B
Week 4 - 2L water, 3ml of Sensigrow A+B, 2ml of CalMag
Week 5 - 2L water, 5ml of SensiGrow A+B, 5ml of CalMag
Week 6 - 2L water, 7.5ml of SensiGrow A+B, 5ml of CalMag
Week 7 - 4L water, 10ml of SensiGrow A+B, 7.5ml of CalMag
Week 8 - 4L water, 10ml of SensiGrow A+B, 7,5ml of CalMag, 5ml of Grandma Enggys F2
Flower:
To Follow.
Okay so heres the plants.
The strain i was told was Kali Kush, i received them just as they rooted as clones.
Ive had a look about on the web and couldnt find the strain Kali Kush, but as i have no clue to as what they are im gonna stick with Kali Kush lol, i know they are 100% Indica.
Anyway i didnt take many pics from 1-6 weeks as they are slightly borings but heres a few from week 3-6.

Okay so them pictures are from weeks 3 through to end of week 6.
As i changed to HPS at week 3 i noticed a dramatic difference, to all growing with CFL they is so much more you can achieve with HPS
Anyway, i gradually increased the nutrients and water going in, and still had 15% run off. Ive pH'd my water+nutes at 5.8 throughout the whole process. So heres some pictures from the final 2 Weeks of Veg.

Ak90, dude your funny, I want to keep it simplistic, so you go out by a hydro setup.... LMAO.
So your in your final two weeks of veg, your plant is 1 and half feet tall? You paid how much for that set up and them nutes?
You want to keep it simple go soil... I think I've got more bang from my bucks...
As a point of reference this is 9 weeks from putting seed into soil

Lol dankswag ur funny too.. My mate just pulled 24oz of 4 of these kush plants and the yields ment to be little... My smallest plants around 1 1/2 feet tall the other is close to 2 feet. There both bush, have loads of growth, healthy looking, and have a nice even conopy with around 12 bud points each. Your picture isnt a very good advertisment for soil tbh it looks small and pokey. And thats 9 weeks from seed?First of all, when i went out and brought my gear 2 months ago my Main rule of thumb i had was to grow with simplicity, and keep it that way with future grows.

Read first before you try and slate my methods. Ive seen you comment on almost everyones posts on here telling them to grow soil. Go troll somewhere else.

Hi... this is only my second post... your plants look amazing...
This is my first indoor grow too... my teens brought seeds then didn't know what to do so I took over...
Mine are about the same age and doing well although nowhere near as bushy as yours. Mine are
Northern Lights x1
Blue Cheese x1
Sour Diesel x1
LSD x1
They are in decent soil and perlite...I was going to keep them in small pots... having read about keeping them smaller this way... but have noticed a bit of yellowing and dryness on some of the younger leaves on the sour diesel so am going to re pot today and then switch to 12/12 at the weekend. I don't think it's nutrient deficiency... might be a bit of nute burn though as I slightly upped the nutes on Sunday... using an organic veg & bloom nutrient with seaweed.
Currently on 18/6 with a temp of between 70f and 80f... growing under 3500 cfl with other smaller cfl's at the ready to supplement side growth...
Your set up is a lot more sophisticated than mine... I'm adapting as they grow...
Sour Diesel is 18'' tall
Northern Lights 14''
LSD 12''
Blue Cheese 12''
LSD took some time to get going but is now starting to show alternating nodes...
Here's a few pics of the girls... I'll take some better ones when I repot... they have some splash marks but generally seem fine...
In order they are Northern Lights, LSD, Blue Cheese and Sour Diesel...

I've subscribed to your thread so will be comparing as we go along... a bit of a panic last night when I saw a crinkly green leaf on the Sour Diesel...but when I calmed down I decided to re pot before I started to look at nute deficiency etc. can't see any bugs so hoping it's something as simple as the pot being a bit too small... she's very thirsty and feels light today even though I watered her yesterday... I've grown outside before... from clones... and had a fair yield... and grew a male from bag seed a couple of years ago but this is my first serious grow...

Just a question. I triggered them last night to 12/12. As far as feedings concerned when do i introduce bloom nutes? Straight away, or do i slowly ween them on still giving them the grow nutes?You've got a really sweet grow AK. .... Great work man. .. Now subbed to this thread.

Yo mrblu, nah i havent done any form of training on them, as its my first grow i thought i would just try and grow the plant first and get to grips with that before i try any training. Although i read a thread on a technique called "Main-Lining" which i think looks interesting! You should take a look its in Indoor Growing>Sub cools> The Main-Lining Thread or something along them lines.
