theres a link that will explain it.. but basically its a method of growing, where you tie down the plant so that the light will spread out more evenly
[attachment=o112690] if you zoom you can see clearly where i cut the top off with a razorblade.
ok thanks i will try thatQuote:

i noticed as i was tieing the leaves down that she is producing a nice pungient smell.like a woodsy skunk.
looks good to me, just keep on doing what your doing and keep us updated on it
sure will. thanks for your help.Quote:

well i just finnished changing my light setup from 1 flouro putting out 42 watts equal to 150 standard watts. to a setup with one 42 and three 15's. that equals 330 standard watts. on payday i am changing the 15's to 42's so i will be getting over 600 standard watts from 4 42 watt flouros'
i think i am doing pretty good for a first time grower. most first timers end up with males or really unhealthy plants.
i beat the statistics and got my plant to begin flowering after 20 days from seed.
im learning as i am growing
and now i am really fucking stoned.:stoned: :D
how do you change your country anyways. i live in canada not the USA
dont worry i found itQuote:

[attachment=o113119] does anyone think i should cut all the leaves of my plant so all the effort goes into growing the grow tips. their are 4 sets of grow tips an 2 tops becouse i topped it about 4 days ago and the 2 tops are startong to grow now.
Nope. Think of those leaves as a snack bar for the branches. Also, they'll tell ya stuff about what your plant's doing later down the line. I.e., late in bud when the big bottom leaves start getting eaten up (by the plant) and falling off, you'll know harvest time is just around the corner.Quote:

yop...You screwed the pooch running 13/11! that is a flowering photoperiod, now I agree with KP. You need to just put nher in flower at 12/12 or you can put her back to 13/11, but DO NOT try to re-veg her!!!
budsmoker is right. you have a female...one thing you coud do that would help you out in a couple months... Go down below the next set of noes below the top and top her...root the top for a mom or just a clone that will be ready in 11-12 weeks
ok then i will not touch the time anymore. but in three days i get payed and i will but 3 more lights to up the watts to 600. should i keep feeding her 24-8-16 for a little longer or should i pick up a high phosphate fertilizer right away to feed her.
i was also thinking becouse i have a self watering pot. should i keep using the high nitrogen fert in the bottom and spray the top of the soil and leaves with the high phosphate fert.Quote:

she is growing fast now . up to 200mm or 20cm or 8 inchs.
now just so i have this correct. when the plant eats up the bottom leaves and they fall off is that when i stop fertilizing and give it just plain water. so the buds dont taste like fertilizer.
any answers
i was meaning to ask, my brother got a seed from a bag of weed and it is green. is it any good. he said he tried to squeeze it and it never poped. or are green seeds bad.
can anyone answer me on the last post
No I can't answer that but what's the harm if you try anyways? You got nothing to lose and possibly a nice yeild to gain, give it a shot.
yeah why not. i will give it a shot.Quote:
