weedhoung, remember that poor little dying sprout i had?

[noty johnson]

it made it ;-) its the big one (ww), and its a female (showed sex well before flowering, now has white hairs coming out everywhere)

the others are bagseed started much later.


this is one week into flowering in my aero setup with a 400W MH/HPS (i just switched to the HPS bulb)

thanks for your help guys. hope i get a good yield off this mofo! the 3 small ones havent shown sex yet

oops, i typod your name weedhound, sorry

Noty those gals looks great! nice and healthy. That WW has some nice branches you can lst with and with good HPS like you have you should get some nice FAT buds. I just went back and looked at the pic of that little fried looking seedling.....did you ever figure exactly what the problem was or did it just settle down by itself.

I am dying to try some WW; want to order some seeds. Let me know how she does....:)

who knows what i was doing wrong. i think it was a mix of over/under watering.

So much easier with hydro/aero, since that's not possible.

I did top it once to slow it down while the others caught up.. but it has 4 main colas as it naturally grew two before i topped it.

yeah i need to do something because the big one is blocking all the light. I guess go buy some yarn and start tying it over? This way i could lower the light a bit and the others wouldnt be stretching to get to it

on the other hand, the big one is white widow and female, the others are bag seed and havent shown sex... so i'm mainly just concerned with the WW. I cut two clones from it that look great as well. I was kind of suprised since i'd never cloned before and didnt expect my first attempt to go two for two.

so you can begin to lst at a any time? doesnt matter that until now i've just let it grow straight up? thanks!

Well I lst'd for the first time on my last grow and I think I did it about 3 weeks into flower because it took the first two weeks for them to even show sex. I'll do it the same way this time because I don't want to do all that work on the males so in my opinion no it's not too late at all. Just be gentle in pulling the branches over and don't snap them. I remember reading somewhere (can't remember where) on this forum about people using bolts to hold the branches down; tying bolts to the branches and sort of letting them hang and pull the branch down gently. You might run a search to see what you can come up with. I ended up using that green garden tape that you stake trees with and it did fine and had a nice stretchiness that I liked to work with.

Great work on the clones! I tried cloning a few when I first started and mine just rolled over and died right off the bat.

One of my big loves about hydro is removing the possibility of watering incorrectly too.....I always was terrible about that in soil. Just THINKING about "watering" makes me tense, lol. Too much? Too little? I always hated that!
