hey guys. Ok i have a good question. How long can you veg a plant for, in a 4 gallon bucket doing an lst. The past 2 days she looks like she stop growing and i am wondering if she filled the bucket with roots already. That cannot be possible, can it? With the pics that i have posted, does it look like the plant is already to big for the bucket? I was reading a plant can grow 1 foot per 1 gallon of a flower pot. So if i have a 4 gallon pot she should be good because the main stem looks like 12 inches right? I kind of want to flower her already and very confused on what to do. Some advice would be appreciated.
Another question. I water my plant 2 times a week. Can i give nutrients to the plant 2 times a week or should i do nutrients 1 day and water with cal-mag the next watering. I need some advice here also!

That is some excellent advice kevin. I was getting a little nervous but now you brought my confidence back up! If I follow my schedule I'm wondering If my goal of 1/2 pound is possible.

Kevin Im so excited already and becoming very impatient. I want to see pretty buds on her. She is growing very nice female preflowers, doesn't look like a hermie or a male! i had to start buying bud again because I ran out of my last harvest. It sucks to pay for weed. So much money wasted.

I'm 7oz down, i reckon i 'm down to my last oz from my last harvest, and i REFUSE to buy bud again... Gotta make this last Z last but its tastier than its ever been, so hard!

She's gona fill that space real nice, i havn't a clue if you're gona reach a 1/2 pound, definitely has the potential, just make sure you spread the branching out after stretch for maximum light penetration, giving each branch as much room as possible

Well I'm going to be using a Hortilux 250w Super HPS for 12/12. The bloom nutes I will be using are ADVANCED NUTRIENTS Big Bud, Bud Candy, and start using B52 for the supplement fertilizer during FLOWER!

Sadly, No. I wish. I don't have the money to get a bigger hood. I really wish. I have to make what I have work. I may use cfl's on the side for supplemental lighting

Yea mate do that pal...

I already Node · Oct 19, 2011

after trolling this thread for sec.. I might lst my next crop?!? Thanks for the enlightenment!

jackoladd · Oct 19, 2011

yeah like you said you should definitely get some cfl's in there that plant has a lot of potential and you are only increasing your chances of getting a 1/2lb with more light. good luck with the grow mate im subbed +rep.

Hey guys. Quick little update. tomorrow I will be posting up PICS. This plant has become a monster and the way she is looking I have to flower her extremly soon. Reason: Plant becoming way to large for the closet, not in height but in width. She has filled out real nice and she finally looks like a small shrub bush. NICE. I really enjoy growing this way. She looks like she is going to harvest a heavy load!

Part 10 LST-Day 71 from seed- 2 days in FLOWER

Hey guys. Sorry for the late update but here she is.I have decided to place her into flower because she is growing too big for my closet width way not in height. She looks really good. I have two problems. 1-Everytime I give my plant nutes, her tops turn yellow as if there is not enough "N" in her diet (can the nutrients 1200ppm be too high blocking out "N"?). 2-I have tops under bigger tops not getting good light, thats why the pic only shows limited tops. I don't want to cut leaves but I may have too. I try and place other leaves under other leaves for better light penetration but I guess the fan blowing and as she grows leaves just pop back out covering other lower tops. What can I do to get all tops too show ( cut or leave alone)?
Well Stay tuned because she is almost done! 2 months left!
