Posted on the other thread, looks like this one is all go tho.

"Looking good! I'm afraid I can't help you with Nutes as I'm new. But I will take note of what people say.

But a quick question for you, what method did you use to germ the seeds?

Good luck and thanks!"

I used the simpelest method possible; I have tried every way in the book and this is my fav and seems to be most reliable;: Start with 16oz party cups, the darker the cup, better for roots. I used styro cups though, easier to cut away during transplant. And clear cups for the dome. Seed 1/8" to 1/4" into soil; cover seed DO NOT PACK SOIL, needs to be as loose as possible for the seed to sprout; water w/ ph'd water until medium is 75% heavier than it was dry, or 1/4% water runoff, after watering. i did 18/6 light for 3-5 days and they popped. The longest sprout was 7 days;



Heres a pic of what it was like:

Thanks heaps for the in-depth method! If the method I'm using now fails ill try yours! seems the most natural method anyway?

Ill keep an eye on the thread, good luck and thanks again!

My advice........ Wait until they get a little taller and LST them.




This will also keep your plants short and bushy, instead of tall and lanky.
In the first pic you will see how when you bend the plant over, every top shoots upward in search of light. This creates an even canopy of colas that all recieve a good amount of light, thus increasing your yield overall.

You can bend branches back too if you want to take it even further and create a monster bush. When i bend and LST correctly and give them a little longer veg time, i can come pretty damn close to 1 gram per ever watt of light. You should be able to do the same!!


In the last picture you will see a LST'd female 2 1/2 weeks into flower. It does not have a christmas tree shape, its more of a bush. When you have one plant that is 3 times as big as the others(as you have in your garden) you might have a hard time trying to light your garden.

"DruDown"

I am not limited to any kinda height restriction. My closet is 8.5' tall, and I dont think my plants are going to get any taller than 5'5". I plan on starting flower in 2-3 weeks when the tallest plant reaches 2'-3'. Also the 6 seedling are not garuanteed females. I only plan on having 3 maybe 4 max, in flower. I also plan on cloning the Grape Ape and LGS before flower, and possibly making 1 of each clone a permanant mother?

Any ideas or input?


Also quick question about watering. How often should i water w/ regular ph'd water? I watered 5/25 w/ reg water and was the fist time in 4 weeks?

[Giggitagator]

bending your plants is the way to go. even if you have the height just by bending your plants you allow more light to more leaves. When you do so it sends floral hormones to more places on the plant, instead of concentrating them in the main stem. Why have one main large cola when you can have 4 of equal size. you want the most you can yield correct? bend them suckers you wont regret it! :rastasmoke::thumbsup:

I agree w/ everything you guys are saying, and my last grow fas actually LST'd and I was pretty impressed, but I think i might be limited to width and depth, my space is only 3'x4'. if they get too bushy they will consume the entire space? I seen drudowns grow and his area is 9'x5' and he can only access the back plants by crawling under the canopy. And i know I can get 4 mains by just FIMing or topping the plants.



I dunno what would you guys suggest doing in an area that is 3'wx4'dx8'h?

Advice before its too late, the biggest plant is 19" and i dont wanna stress her.

[drudown11]

If your want to top them, then you should do it as soon as possible. It takes a good 2 weeks for the plant to fully recover from getting topped, so i would do it a couple of weeks before you plan to flower.
