What's up fellow stoners and growers, I recently started my first op which I plan to expand to my garage and a 99 plant card. For now this is what I am dealing with, I have 6 plants that have been in Veg for about 2 weeks and I plan to veg for another 3 if not more. I decided to share some pictures with you guys so you can see how I did this. I actually used tinfoil and taped it to the side of the pot, simple and cheap. Because tinfoil is made of aluminum and aluminum is one of the softest metals out there I couldn't come up with a better idea to low stress train them without hurting them. Now to the pics, (bottles are Co2)

Btw just wanted to throw this out there... I think I'm the only person to ever start a grow op and not have a single plant die, not to get cocky but I don't think I will have one die. I deal with fish tanks constantly so I understand the importance of PH balance and how sensitive life is. How many growers can say they never lost a plant?


My best friend also has 2 ops in Oregon and has been growing for years, that helps lol

I've never lost a plant. I've also seen tons of first time growers over the years not lose a plant and come out with some dank. It's not very hard. So no, you are not the first ever. Keep up the good work!

Also if you really want it to be low stress, stop pulling fan leaves off. Those are the solar panels that give your plant the energy to grow.

I knew that line would make someone respond, of course other people have never had plants die lol.. I'm using 8 bulb ballast T8 fluorescent 48" high noon lights, only using 6 bulbs atm. Yeah they definitely were lanky. Here's another update they beefed up a little since then, they need to be transplanted soon, (Btw fan leaves take like a day or two to grow in the right conditions, not serious to cut them.)





Bad quality messenger pic lol

you are doing great job and pulling/cutting the right fan leaves off at the right time, are you sure its your first grow because theses are grown pefect for a newbie :)
I have been growing like you for the last 10 years and would like to stick around and help if you have any question

try using some garden wire to make s shapes to hold the plants in place

after you have done this for a few years you can control how the plant grows and you don't even need to lst, just need top and a little support in late flower

I not only have never lost a plant but have actually brought a few back from the dead. Now, that I think about it, I also have taken dead strawberry plants and created live cannabis plants. I also used to be a master at creating algae, out of nothing!!!! Pasteur be damned. It use to cover MY fish tanks so thickly that my fish no longer needed to swim...actually, all that could not sink or swim was just left there to float.

They look nice and healthy though. Just make sure when they bloom you add about as much light as you possibly can, they should stack up

Wow thanks for the kind words guys. You made me feel good today :). My girl gets out of jail today too wooooo lol

Jackthc- thanks man, you made my day :) I would also love any advice you give me, and the hooks is my next plan. I'm very broke atm, which growing and broke don't mix. Good thing I have a lot of equipment given to me... do you have a grow thread I can check out? I'd appreciate it it alot.

Brave- I love fish :) i have a 200g tank with a large fire eel he's about 3 feet long. And 5 years old, his name is houdini because he lived in the filter for 8 months and lived outside of water for OVER 24 HOURS, he jumped out while we were gone. This eel is a tough SOB.

Gem-thanks man, I have 3 large ballasts with 2 good amps, I have tons of different bulbs too. I can get up to 2000w from this bulb I have, not sure if it's right. My good friends in oregon will help me along the way too, of course like always any advice you have for me is very much appreciated.

I'm going to share a pic with you guys when I get home not many get to see. Please keep it as private as you can when I upload it. I'll also upload a pic of my fish tank.

I've never had one die, yet somehow I've never had one flower. I'm on my first attempt since I was a teen. Many moons ago, my dad found one. My friends dad found 8 beauties and I grew an 8 foot male before those and before I knew the difference between seed sacs and flowers. That's how we learned in 1982. No internet to tell us the difference between male and female plants! So much information is really a time saver! :) nice girls btw
