My first grow

[deaner]

Thought I'd put this here so maybe someone can see it and give me pointers. My plants are about 3 and a half weeks, they look good, to me anyway. Just started them on 600wt mh, and pure blend pro grow, mixed to about 1/4 strength. One plant is about 4 days older than the other 2. Temb keeps hovering around 88-90, I know thats probably too hot. I don't know when to feed them again, I didn't use much, 2 look dry already, but I felt moisture a couple inches down so will water tommorow. Got a ph tester, keeps saying 7, so maybe it needs a battery or I'm stupid. or stoned. or both. I got the whole start of this log in plant problems, I know there is a way to link it or copy it? Help? Will get some fresh pics tommorow, hopefully. These pics are last day under flourescents and without fertilizer. Today they are already looking better, thicker, I can't believe how fast the stalk thickens!

Its friday night, I should be sleeping, gotta work in an hour or so. Are they looking good? When should I add "sweet" to the fert. mix? How often should I give them fert? Can I flower em and get a ton of buds yet??

[deaner]

Oh, in case you cant tell, the flourescents are off, and under the girls I can remove those tubs when they start getting too tall. I need dedicated mentors to watch my log closely. Watch my log..

you can flower now if you like,i usually start mine flowering after 3 weeks or so to try and keep them kinda short,if you find my grow log you'll see plants that have been vegged for between 3 and 4 weeks before switching to 12/12,they weren't that big when i switched them 16 days ago,but it's amazing how much they grow in flower,3 have about doubled in size over last 16 days and the other is even bigger than that,it's gone from 10 inches to 26 inches in last 16 days,and that height doesn't take into consideration the fact i bent the main stem,i guess it just depends how big you want your plants to be,and remember it's possible for your plants to double or even triple in height during flower

Looking great so far!!!

I see you want to maximize your yeild. To do this you neet to start LST. You need some wire coat hangers, cut it into pieces 6'' to 8'' long, bend one end to have a resemblance of a fish hook. Now take the plant and bend it over until the top of the stem is parraell to the soil, now take the coat hanger hook and line it up so it isinbetween 2 nodes near the top that is strong enough to hold the plant down, push the hook into the soil, then just leave it. In less than 6 hours the top will already start growing to the light, and the nodes will show growth in 2 days. Keep repeating this for the entire veg cycle and all them branches from the nodes will turn into big colas in flowering. Probably triple your yeild.

I have a good demo of this going in my log. ''2nd grow from cloans and THC Bomb from seeds" anb results in my log '' final veg and flower white widow and mystery seed.

Wish you the best of luck and we will be here for you your entire grow just keep posting.

LST? Hmm, maybe start on the oldest, since I've already been bendin her a little. I will try and find a chance to really research LST, is it similar to using zip ties? Double or triple?! Thats what I need, a nice quick, fat first grow. How soon til I learn the sex?

[Jerry Garcia 2007]

About 1 week into flower you can tell the sex, I veg untill my space is full then go to 12/12. Wait one week pull the males this opens space for the females to flower.

left to right: finger pointing to twisty tie location, view from the front, and from above. Hows she lookin? They all got a little water today, very dry and light. Next time fert?

[deaner]

So if this looks good, maybe I should LST the other two?

[HateHeaven]

I plan to LST also, let me know how it goes :jointsmile:
