Well people here it is, my second grow and things are going pretty well. Here is the current situation.

I veged this on 18/6 for 5 weeks (wanted to keep them short) and have been tying then since they were about a week or so old. I topped 2 of them to see which ones would do better, topped or non-topped. So far the non-topped ones look better, have much larger bud sites and look more promising to me.

The plants are currently about 2 feet tall, but keep in mind I have been tying them from almost day one. I really like the results I am seeing at this point with tying, I have so many large bud sites that are at the top of the canapy that it makes me happy :-)

Currently, I am only on day 19 in the 12/12 flowering cycle. The plants showed there sex about 6-8 days into flowering, except the larges plant had flowers starting before I swiched to the flowering cycle.

I just transplanted them about 4 days ago into 4 gal. containers so the could strech there root system a little. I am really excited because I have like another 35 - 40 days of flowering to go and the buds are already looking pretty good to me.

Please let me know what you think...

Happy growing, I will keep you posted on my progress.

I would like to throw out a special thanks to Zandor & Harddon, I really appricate all your help, My first grow would not have gone as good without your help from start to curing. This second grow is doing way better than the first. You guys rock, thanks again!

Later,

Johnny

The lighting situation for these plants was as follow:

Veg Cycle:
Week 1 - Week 4 of Veg was done with 240 Watts of 4' Tube Flourecents
Week 5 of Veg was done with 400 Watt Mh & 160 Watts of 4' Flourecents

Flowering Cycle:
Being done with 400 Watt HPS & 160 Watts of 4' Flourecents

Light Schedules:

Week 1 - 24/0 Hours
Week 2-5 - 18/6 Hours
Week 6+ - 12/12 Hours


Hope this helped

Harddon, Tying is the way to go man, I don't have that much experence yet, but I am very happy with results and the non-topped plants at this point, The Topped ones seemed to have streached more and are behind the others due to the stress.

I think I will continue to top a few out of each grow just to make sure I keep getting consistant results. I will keep you all posted.

Update:

Now we are on day 22 of flowering. They are still looking really good. The tric development has really taken off over the last few days. I still am only watering them about 2 times a week at the most. There are in pretty large containers and I don't want to overwater them. Here are some more pictures.
