The Daily Grow w/ Bud Fullotrichs

[basementbotany]

2 of them have major catching up to do. will not effect when i put them into flower though, no matter what, they get until feb. 1st before flowering. quick question, i'm running through veg. with a 400w MH, how much would it decrease yield if i were to stay with the MH through flowering? just don't have $110 to spend on an HPS at the moment. i do have a friend that is contemplating letting me use his 360w HPS, but i would have to put off flowering for another 4 weeks, or until he finishes flowering. any suggestions?

I'm not sure how much, but it WILL affect the yield. I would suggest that you use Low Stress Training (LST) to tie down the tops of the taller plants and keep the canopy height even.

have already started with lst. i'm guessing that's why i'm getting more horizontal growth rather than vertical growth. thanks MVP for all of your responses, seems that i may be able to get that HPS afterall, well i do some more updates when i see changes and as i feel the need to......PLEASE STAY TUNED!

i'll post new pics of them lst'd tomorrow, they are looking nice, can't wait to flower. not that i'm in such a hurry to get bud, just want to see what these plants will do for me, or if i need to order seeds with good genetics.

It's definitely easy to get excited about them, as long as you don't put them on YOUR schedule you should do fine.

Remember steps 1-5 above.

not exactly sure what it means to put them on MY schedule, but i think i get the "just" of it. i do get excited, i am already wanting to set up a dual flower room, but i will wait until i complete my noob grow. i want set up 2 trays for flower, weeks 1-4 in one tray, weeks 5-harvest in another tray. need to find a prominent strain that will fit in that schedule. i'm sure i'll get deeper into it after this first grow.

I know what ya mean amigo. However it is easier to learn starting slow and small, cuz when things go haywire (which they will at some point) you will be able to respond better. Putting them on YOUR schedule means rushing them into something they are not ready for yet. But of course you know better and will not do that, right?

[basementbotany]

absolutely will not do that! i am going on your guys' schedule, haha! i'm sure you all will let me know when it's go time for these bitches (hopeful bitches anyways) to flower. i will follow this forum throughout my whole grow so i have you all to set my ass straight when i'm putting them in harms way or prematurely doing this or that to them.
