Lookin really good Mand. Good Luck with your grow :D
Hello Bill :) Old wives tales or not love , it's always worth a try ;)
I'm doing fine Bill. and you can post on my thread anytime you want love......................I get a bit mardy if I don't get many replies ;) :)
Keno :) to be honest love I'm actually quite pleased with there progress, I don't usually say that ..............Thanks keno :)
love mand xxx :)
I know it's only a few days since the last ones, but I can't resist a couple of todays pics ...............
Hi Mand
They lookin cool :D
Very Healthy!!
If i had to criticise at all i`d say they`re still lookin a tad Stretchy though. Do you have any fans blowin on them? I`m sure u could get ur light a bit closer if u had a fan or 2 blowing the heat of ur bulb.( yer i know people have sed before on this thread that they`re stretchin)!!!
Also i can`t see any reflective material at all. Have u thought about maybe gettin a few meters of Mylar on ur walls -- it`s quite cheap really and u`ll waste far less of ur light!! :)
Sorry i`m not tryin to pull ur grow at all cos they`re lookin good and i`m enjoyin watchin them. ( Christ i`m no expert that`s 4 sure)!!!!!
But i do think u could Bush them up just a little.
Keep postin them pics mand - good luck with the fem/male ratio
Digi xx
Your grow looks awesome Mand. I'm humbled.
kepp up the good work mand, its good sein people grow there own, and when they start bloomin its a great site.
peace.
ps what do u mean pinchin??
Hello Digi :) Honestly love these are quite bushy for me. I have put the light a little closer than usual, altough it's not something I really worry about.
I always put the sticks in as a little precaution because I have in the past have had a few fall over before they got strong enough to support themselves, but this lot does seem much better in that respect :)
Hmmm no fan I'm affraid Digi, if it gets to warm I just open the growroom door a little :o
Hopefully this will be the last grow in this room, I was going to move them to a slightly bigger room and had my son paint it all out white for me but there is no power supply to it...............well there is but it doesn't want to work.
Hopefully I'll have that fixed for the next crop ;)
Marc love :) I do very little, they grow themselves, when you grow you're next ones, just try to let nature do it............they'll be ok, I promise :)
Thankyou Red :) .....Pinching is simply just pinching the very top new growth off between the finger nails ;)
I do this about 5 days before inducing flowering, it then makes the plant grow with two main stems instead of one, and I've found it does increase my yield quite a bit :)
You just have to be carefull not to pinch were the new stems are going to grow from, I think that it is not recomended that you pinch untill there is at least five nodes on the plant ;)
I've grown with out pinching as well but the yeild was not as good, so now I always pinch ;)
Thankyou guys.................love mand xxx :)
Yeah well - lol - could take off on the "...now I always pinch" line but - nah - lol -
Seriously tho M. Maybe you oughta put up a thread with pics and just a basic guideline; a do's 'n don't's.
Some of us here aren't necessarily looking for kilo's of difference, we sometimes forget.
hello mand :-) very nice pix you have there....i done a nice grow journal on here not long ago and am about to be posting some info on a new one.....i think your plants look great....and for the streching all i can say is hey if your gonna grow indoors it happens if you dont invest in high priced lights...i think they look great :-) looks very healthy but i do highly suggest a fan...it will help to make your stem real nice and thick....to more so give it an outdoor feel as if the wind is giving a breeze ...and this too will help with your plants falling over b.c it will make them stronger...;) i have a fan on mine 24-7 blowing on a medium speed halfway pointed at the plants and 400 w light b.c it gives a nice breeze to the plants so they get great airflow and dance all day while the grow room stays nice and cool while the air too is hitting the bulb keeping it cool....depending on how hot ur bulb gets u maybe be able to do what i do and thats to keep my grow room and the blub cool so you may move the light closer to the tops of your babys...hope this has helped and id love to see some new pix :D keep us posted ........

Hello Rezinator :) I'm a very gentle pincher love, I don't even leave a mark ;) :)
I'll try and do a few pics when I pinch them but I'm affraid I'm not confident enough to do a whole "do's and dont's thread" plus I get it wrong to often :o
Hello PPP :) Thanks for you're reply love :) I'm seriously thinking about the possible use of a fan for next years grow.
Yes I always wellcome advice on trying to improve the crop, I'm a very basic grower and as long as it doesn't involve too much expense or time I'm always willing to try different things .........nice to hear from you PPP :)
I have just pulled one of the plants outside to try and take a pic in more natural light, however it's a really dull day here today, looks like it's going to rain actually. Anyway I took one out from the front as they are all about the same size, so it didn't really matter which one it was ;)
love mand xxx :)
Look good Mand , perhaps your being modest about your growing ability? may be basic method and technique but perhaps doing things a bit more back to the basics would be worth considering for alot of us here. Therefore a little guidance for the do's and don'ts of growing basics, like Rezinator suggested, is not a bad suggestion :p . Could save many new and even some not so new growers some time , money and/or headaches. If your limited on free time, wouldn't want to put you on the spot. If so then just take it as vote of confidence. :D
Peace
Bill
