[dirtdevil]

hello everyone Im new to your site and would love to share and accept any help possible for my flouro grow i have going . AS of now i have 3 plants growing '' some bagseed'' but im currently germinating 5 santamaria crossed with lowrider .. should be popping anytime soon , i have had these plants growing for about 2 weeks now mabye a bit longer , seem to be doing well . im just a bit concerned about the pots , i went from a dixy cup to these , now future transplant doesnt seem as easy. i have 2 40l bags for fafard potting soil and some ''blackkow'' compost 0.5 0.5 0.5 . also some pearllight. sound like a good soil for my other 5 plants ? , does my setup look efficent? i will be adding another shoplight in the near future , Also would i be able to use a ph tester for the pool? no grow shops anywhere near me?

as i have always said. rock out with your c@ck out..
Use your best judgement. Its a seed. Mother nature will do the rest. And as a wise little stinky girl once said, the plant will tell you everything you need to know on how to make her happy, just need to be listening


Dont use the PH tester from the pool.
go to ACE and spend the 1.80 and get the soil tester.. not the best kit, but its a soil kit none the less.

me too on the virgin voyage.. the tester is easy, fill to line with dirt, open capsule and water and shake..

yea i was going to suggest not using such a big pot.. can lead to other issues.
i used flo and i made it.. longer you wait in VEG the better the yield.. I ved'd for 4 weeks and should of gone longer but i couldn't wait.

heres some pics of my grow.. not my thread, but threw in some pics..

Hey dirtdevil, I wanted to help with your question about LST.
I always start LST early... Like at a week & a half from seed.
Let me show you some pics of the last plant I LST'd.

This is a Thai Haze X Skunk #1 plant I grew a few months back that turned out to be male. The only reason I kept these pics is because of the impact LST had on it and how it responded. It was pretty impressive.
Keep in mind this plant was not topped or pruned in any way.

First pic is how it looked at 2 weeks from seed. Note the bent stem.



Second pic is how it looked 2 weeks later, the growth was explosive.



I basically just wanted to let you know you can begin influencing your plant whenever you want... You don't have to wait.
Best of luck with your grow. :rastasmoke:
Peace

looks great doobs, im going to give them a few more days and then fool with them . i heard the term pinch & bend what exzactly does that mean? ,

[dooobster]

Pinching & bending (AKA Supercropping) is when you take a section of soft stem between 2 fingers, and give it a squeeze until you feel a "pop" in the stem. Then you give it a couple gentle bends back & forth... This causes soft weak stems to get stronger at the pinch points (you'll noticeably feel the hardness a few days after the pinch); it helps out farther down the road, when there are heavy buds that need to be supported
I do that too sometimes, and it definitely works.

Ok update , lastnight i had to lay them over and see what would happen, they seem to be liking there new positions quite well. i just wish i could somehow get them in a smaller pot , heres a few pics , oh and 4 out of 5 of my santamaria cross sprouted and i got them in soil about 2 hrs ago =) :rastasmoke:time to smoke and let time pass
