My First Ever Grow (Advice more than Welcome)
i checked out the pictures, ur plants look ok. i am kinda suffering the same agony and tention as you. some of my plants definatly look a little droopy. i think its because were overwatering, or in my case couldbe because of the extreme heats my HPS puts out. But i compared mine to urs, theyre about the same timeline, and yes off course the whole nutes thing, i wanted to wait three weeks too, but F it they needs boost and they needs it now. good luck with ur transplanting, i am styll gonna wait another week. good luck keep us posted soccer.

So I believe that problem was averted. My plants have been transplanted and I have added some nutes. That said...this won't be the only transplant. Unfortunatley I've been working so much (training for a new position) that I haven't had the chance to get everything I want. At least my next pay check will be plenty good enough to do so.
I must say, my plants were rootbound, and I think that was a big part of the problem as well, they also had most likely used all of the nutrients in the soil. Therefore, I simply had to put them in bigger containers once again with Scotts soil, perlite. Not ideal...but better than letting them die until I get a day off. Worms Way is an hour away...so I need a day off to go. On here you'll see new pics which are OBVIOUSLY better.
Oh...also...one of them has started to grow leafs where the two dead leafs are. Should I take off those dead leafs?
Here is my shopping list for Worms Way:
1 - Alaska Fish Fertilizer
1 - Down to Earth Bloodmeal
1 - Down to Earth Steamed Bone Meal
1 - Whitney Farms Dolomite Lime
1 - Perlite
1 - Vermiculite
1 - Sand, Horticulture Grade
1 - Fox Farm Ocean Forest Organic Potting Soil
1 - Rapitest pH Test Kit, Soil
Worm castings?
1 - Earth Juice Meta-K
1 - Earth Juice Grow
1 - Earth Juice Bloom
1 - Earth Juice MicroBlast
Grow bags or pots

I forgot to attach the pics with that last post, so here they are! The first two are the Skywalker...next two the C99, and the last...a hornet that attacked me while taking these pics!!!!
Also...you can't see it anymore, but the dead leafs...should I pick them off?

''soccergal''Lookn good im pretty sure mine and your plants are around the same age maybe a couple days apart ,But never the less cool to compare mine to your's

BigBud it definitly looks like your plants are a bit larger than mine. I think mine are a little more compact though, which is what I'm going for. That said...I started LST today. So far so good! I waited until now because I wanted to make VERY sure that they had established a strong root system. I've actually just put ties on the C99 so far as the skywalker does not seem to need it yet.
How much do you expect to yeild per plant? I'm not sure really what my goal should be. I'm just enjoying the experience. Haven't killed them yet!
I'll put up pics of my LST attempt in the A.M. See what she looks like then.
I'm glad you posted! Now I have something to meassure my progress against.

Yes your's are way more compact than mine. But like twice a week i set my plants down far from the light to let the secondary growth stretch because i can tie the secondary growth down to let more under growth come out .
Im expecting close to 5 ounce's off from each plant because im also puting in a 150hps
Also some advice on LST anything that is blocking new growth tie it down such as fan leave's or even new under growth .

Ok, so I started the LSTing. The C99 has been LSTed for the past 4 days. It seems I have to retie quite frequently with it.
Today I put the first two ties on the skywalker, but I'm somewhat unsure of where to go from here. Any advice you guys may have I'd really appreciate.
I have read much about LSTing...and yet putting theory into practice is proving to be a little bit more complicated. I don't want to over LST, and yet...I'm not sure which parts of the plant should be tied down. Help!
Here are some pics!
Oh and they'll be transplanted to their permanent homes this coming weekend. FINALLY!!!! I think they'll really like the new grow bags. They've grown a tremendous amount since placed in these new "pots." I guess they really were getting root bound before.
Pic 1: My anchor tie. As you can see this is also by the very first set of leaves, which died. Also...whats going on in the middle there? I see new growth, but also those little hair like things??
Pic 2: This is the first day of LST for the C99, which was about 3-4 days ago
Pic 3: C99 today...seems to be responding ok to the LST
Pic 4: Skywalker day 1, not sure what else on it to tie down...?
Pic 5: Top view of Skywalker

Just a little update. Everything is going very well. I've continued to LST and I went ahead and topped one of them.
I think I'm going to top one and let the other one be, but LST both. This way I can see the benefits to both.
They both have very distinct odors. One smells kind of citrusy while the other smells skunky.
I'll update with some pics most likely on Wednesday.
I didn't get too much input on my last couple posts, so I'm starting to feel a little neglected by the community, where oh where is the love? :confused:
