i finished putin up my black plastic curtain, so its not so obvious when i go in at night. i put a slice in the plastic about a foot offset to the right of where the doors meet. so i can kinda sneek in without much light escaping. i was doing some more research on the correct way to train and i found this explanation from i think the person who originated it ill put a link for those interested. i was thinking i had to let them grow a few inches then bend them thru then let them grow then bend thru again like a weave but when i did this i accidently topped 1. thats when i did my research and found out that it is probably better to just keep the the main chute down under and just guide it in the direction u want it to go, the same with the other branches when they make it there. the idea being that you make each plant go where you think needs be filled and when comes time to flower you stop guiding and let the flowers come thru. ideally there should be at least 1 flower for every hole 3and even 4 if you are lucky. oh yeah im feeding the lucas formula now i hear its supposed to be better than the bottle formula if anyone has some tips on what else i should feed them to supplement or add when flower time comes that would be great. i here alot about epsom salt but i dont know what to look for to know that it needs it

Nice looking grow but personally with the lighting you have available I'd ditch the scrog and start flowering now.

Looks like a good setup you've got going there!

I think you should wait to flower and let the screen fill out a bit more. It'll take longer, but what's one more week in this entire process? That being said, go with what you want to do. There is no rule as to how long you need to veg.

I think I'll watch this one :)

your plants look great man. the indicas don't grow as fast during flower so I would veg a little longer. it will pay off with higher yields in the end.

someone know???????

buying a new everything just costs more money. utilize what you have to your advantage.

you bought that 1000w for some fucking lumens right :) ?

make use of them.

i would just switch pots to sqaure ones and calcualate how many pots you can fit then do that. right htere you increase your yield, making the 100watt worth your time and money.

if you dont want more plants. then sell your 1000 and get a 400. 600 is better but i like growing with 400's they are good for begginers.
