Yea, I really need to figure out exactly what to do. I definitely don't want to hurt the other two plants though. I am going to have to do some more research. Also, when the roots start to die, I can just remove them very carefully and pay attention to it a lot.

its not as easy as it sounds, the roots dont mind being chopped, believe me worked with all sorts of plants for a long time, itll just take a day or 2 for the roots to catch up before the growth on top starts up(in hydro, soil takes a bit longer)

Yea, I believe you man, I do...I'm just indecisive as fuck haha. I will most likely end up doing it because I don't think I have any other choice

Dang guys, I have asked a shit ton of questions and done a bunch of stuff in the past few days with little replies =/

Those who have, I appreciate it, even if you are just loungin =P

I knew I shouldn't have put this damn journal in the proper place haha, they never get traffic there.

I have been thinking though. Am I looking a little skimpy for starting week 3 of flowering? I have seen a bunch of grows that by this time have masses of hairs and some upward growth of the bud. I don't see anything as of now. First off, if you think everything is fine, that's good, but if you don't, any ideas on how I can change it up to fix it?


bored as shit.

yeah by week 3 they should have REALLY shown sex, like u said fair few pistils and what not, but last yr 1 had 2 plants that didnt show any pistils for about 4 weeks then within a day or so of my freak out wondering what was going on they had an outburst of pistils, i had 3 other plants of the same seed and they just grew normal, hope its all good and theyre just "late bloomers"

is it absolutely dark in there at night?

Yea, I was thinking that it may not be 100% dark, but it has to be because that male showed sex and grew it's sexual parts very well and quickly. I may try to throw some more shit together to make it even more dark although I'm pretty sure it is already pitch in there.

So I got some more of the black tarp and covered up anywhere else I could fathom a sliver of light coming out of. I'm hoping that this will make a difference and it will work out.

Knickers, good call I will go do that right now. LIke I said I blacked it out pretty intensely last night, I wonder if there have been any significant changes. Pictures in a minute.

Nice, so I just checked on them and whether it just happened to happen over night, or that I finally got it ark enough in there, I definitely have some hairs. Also, the stems are starting to get so thick that I am almost breaking off some important pieces trying to bend them and tie them down. I think I am going to be done tying them now and just let them grow. I have plenty of bud points and I hope they will all grow up nicely. Pictures are uploading, they should be up soon. Oh, also, the blackout tarp I used also kept in a bit more of the heat so the temps were actually closer to correct than usual. At night the temps definitely dip a bit, so hopefully this will keep them more to where they should be.

Here you go. This is day... 18 of Flower



















Yea, and like I said, I am done bending, I'm not risking breaking some serious bud spots. My lights can go up plenty high. I am just going to let them go from now on. I will probably still move fan leaves out of the way from blocking other buds etc, but not much more than that.


How's it look?

looking gooooood really nice screen!! i'd say you more or less done training. remember the guys that want to to break on you, just coax them little at a time, each day bring them down a little bit more. don't forget to trim the big fan leaves shading bud sites. your discretion, lop 'em off completely, or the cut each blade in half so they cast quite as much shadow.
nicely done my friend!

:peace:

Wow, Shack, I have never thought of trimming the leaves. I didn't know that was an option I suppose. I have been just shoving them down under the screen. I will definitely get in there and trim it up tomorrow.

Thanks man

don't get too trim happy. its best to trim 50% of a leaf rather than the whole thing. it's a plant after all and you need the leaf surface to conduct photosynthesis.
Stop by my DIY thread.. the tent is complete!!! (well pics up in like 15 minutes.. but you will see them soon enough!)

Damn Shack, I may have just fucked up pretty hard. I'll be honest, I almost trimmed all of the fan leaves off. Now, I did realize that they needed it for photosynthesis, so I didn't trim the small sets or many of the medium sets. I think I should still be fine, or at least I hope =/


I'll check on that right now!

Looking at it again after doing it, I think I really did trim too much. Here are some pictures of the aftermath. It looks like I am about to harvest there are so few leaves =[ FUCK.












You guys think I'll be alright?
