Blink,

So where I am going wrong is thinking that the veg cycle starts at germination, when actually it starts 1 to 2 weeks after germination or when first 5 finger leaves are grown. Correct?

Then I am also performing LST to often, you say let them grow 3 to 4 days between LST.

You are also saying to let them veg untill it is truely a Sea Of Green horizontaly, meaning I have no more horizontal space to grow in, then switch to flowering cycle and then just let them go vertically no LST. Oh yah, after I have determined the sex of each plant.

Looks like I have about 2 weeks of veg to go. One minor problem I have is I cannot afford to get the supplies needed to start cloning untill the end of next week. So can you still sex by taking a cutting and placing in water and say a very minimal dose of 12/30/12 nutes, then put them under a CFL set at 12/12. Reason is I want to get the males out ASAP.

One more question about prunning. I have been prunning any leaf that is preventing light from getting to the nodes below. This seems to be working very well due to, the very next day that node has grown and filled the space that the leaf was in. I do not remove any leaf that is not blocking anything except only if it is pushed down into the soil after LST. Is this the correct way? or is there a better way?

You are great help Blink TYVM
