Got sum pics here guys , let me know if you cant see them!!!!!
And of course any thoughts or suggestions, i still want to know how long to veg them for really as i am first time grower.
Thankyou Very Much for looking.
Here goes. Some info and questions first, important for me to understand your setup first so I do not misdirect you.
24 days of veg from a clone I would expect a skunk type strain to be that bushy, and they will not get very tall. She is naturally bushy, as you can see, so topping her is not recommended if you have not done so already, especially for your first grow. What height is the 600w above the plants? You may be able to lower it to get more vigour. You have plenty of saturation with the 600w on two plants, so you can go with a bushy look for these as the light can reach lower branches.
You can veg them for as long as you like. Obviously the longer, the bigger she will get. Remember, you are going to get a certain amount of height and size after you flower, so it is not like she will stop beefing up for you after you put her in flower. Stretch can be 50%-150%. She will grow.
LST is a good option for you, if you read up on it. Basically LST is done to maximize the amount of light that is hitting all of the lower branches and bud sites. Check out some of the LST threads. This is a great segeway into trimming. With the pics you gave, I can see a few scrawny branches at the very bottom of the plants right above the soil medium. I would thin those out a little, just the really short, thin ones at first, to give the rest of the plant the chance to thicken. You may cringe at cutting off future bud sites, but the remainder will thank you for it in yield and quality.
If you want to try at cloning, take those small branches you trim, put some rooting compound on them, and play around. They will not necessarily be very impressive plants, but you have plenty of light, nothing to lose, and everyting to learn. Experiment!
Honestly, your best learning experience may be to let one go without any training or trimming and practice on the other. This way you have a direct comparison of how your actions affected the plant's characteristics and how to put that knowledge into use in future grows.
Hope this helps. Have fun and feel free to ask q's.
Peace!
..So Hi to all again
