yeah, no disrespect to rock wool, but im over rockwool. im using a soiless medium, why not use a soiless cloning medium? it works so good i wanna marry it! it really makes you feel like you can grow when you can clone, because you can continue the legacy! i am a believer in superthirve w/cuttings. i use like 3/4 tsp a gallon of ph'd water for my cuttings spray, the whole time, and they love it!

Superthrive is the shit

not hard now! you're tutorials are the shit bro!



yeah, i might be over the kushes though. it looks like they may only produce popcorn. my thought is to lst or sog them next grow. can you sog sativas. or my thought is they aren't sativas, i just need to train them better next round!

Never heard of sogin sativas but anything is possible. I hope my Fire Og gives more than popcorn. The buds are starting to look really resiny on it though so I guess I can sacrifice quantity for quality.
 
Why make sacrifices? :bigjoint:

id SOG with indica just cuz its a faster flowering time and wont get so big but sum perfer sativas. id do a hybrid if anything. but im more for the scrog and multiple cola tops IMO. alot of it is becuz my plant limit. u can still do a perpetual harvest cycle with these methods as well like myself.


frosty lookin cola u got there DC

loving your ladies like always DC! this thread needed that encouragement! thanks bro!

i agree. ive used superthrive for all my grows so far with no adverse side effects; if anything they recover faster then being stunted from cloning or transplanting.

me too. in any shock situation, its always there when you need it!

Yeah I say cut off the bottom 4 branches (unless they look like they'll actually amount to something, but they prob won't) and then strip whatever's left off the bottom third of the plants. It'll get rid of a lot of the scraggly bottom branches that won't amount to anything, focus the growth on areas that you'll use, and make for a lot better airflow under the canopy (believe it or not it usually lowers my temps). It'll also make it a LOT easier to water.

thanks,DC, means a lot coming from you! i've already lollypopped them, but a very concervative lollypop, (only enough for two cuttings per plant), so it defn helps with my decision to trim more, thanks bro!

I couldn't agree more :bigjoint:

Took the words right out of my mouth. Helps keep Humidity more even and slightly lower (or easier to maintain/adjust) throughout the room as well, increasing the accuracy of your Hygrometer.

I do have some plants that: When the initial flowering stretch is induced, I watch to see the light penetration to lower growth to determine whether each individual site would get a desirable amount of light (a lux/light meter helps with this). If I determine I am not going to be able to pull a gram off the top nugget of the lower branch (less than 3 nodes on branch, less than 10 pistils on top cola before 2 weeks into flower, site receives less than 7,000 Lumens on PAR, LB-B-Y-O-R-FR), the branch comes off, if the branch has potential for a weighty top cola (thick stem, more than three nodes on it, more than 30 pistils 2+ weeks into flower) it stays on.

Nice. I don't know if I have the patience for all that, but that is a very good method for determining which branches to cut. I just size em up and if they're low and spindly they get the scissors.

Exactly, it is easy to do with the right timing, just take a look at them and cut them off......

If you've ever done a scrog it makes it much easier.... anything that itsn't reaching
the screen gets the chop chop.
 
did some bottom trimming yesterday. thanks DC, LD, and shrubs, vetran experience is definitely appreciated. cut the bottoms of plant where light wasn't penetrating. it hurts trimming something that has buds on it, (especially from my backround of male clones)

hey guys, hope you had a great weekend, raining in socal! ladies getting thirsty every 2-3 days now. feeding bloom nutes here on out, with kool bloom additive. nugs just keep getting bigger every day! had to tie down the sativa, tall bitch! still looking great, dark green leaves, starting to trich, and im super happy!


just a thought, I have four plants in there, they dont take up all of the space, 4x4x6. one more plant could fit. if i put one more plant in there would it make my yield the same, or more, as long as i didn't overcrowd the canopy?

Looking very good Drella, Hell yea it's puring like a Mother F'er. IMO I think if you have the room for one more I say throw it in there your running a 600 watter that shoud be sufficient for all those plants.

BTW. Which one is you OG?
