hey kest
thanks for dropping in buddy, im glad u like what you see :thumbsup:

i had a quick sneak at ur log and 1st most, i must congratulate you on the training of your cat! lol maybe u could have a word with my dog some time!

secondly, a :thumbsup: on your grow, yours girls are looking very healthy and happy! with regards to only yielding 3+ oz per plant, thats not a bad for an indoor grow, trust iv seen worse, and also, different strains different yields ill be honest with you, with regards to your set up you have a lot more going on and look a lot more advanced in your growing journey than i, im still a noob on my 3rd proper grow, my last grow i had a jack hera in soil that came in at 623g after crop which i thought was pretty good considering.

i top about a week and a half in, i veg from seed on a 400 hps and its usually on the 3rd or 4th node depending how quick she is growing, also unfortunately iv never had experience with cuttings or with trying to determine sex of my own plants, i grow all mine from feminized seeds, i think as time goes on i will be looking into it, there seems to be a lot of benefits and advantages to this style that i would like to explore. in fact i want to explore every style but all in due coarse.. gta walk before i can run lol, i find that with lst and topping i have increased my yields compared to that of just leaving her and trimming, keep an eye on the log, iv topped one, lstd one and left the other 2. i seen u have chopped the bottom off yours (lollypoping i think) in week 5 of flower, from what iv read theres a lot of mixed feelings bout doing anything to your plants whilst in flower with regards to topping chopping and pruning ect, have you done this before? and did you notice any slow growth or even the opposite? i try to keep any training to the veg stage, although this time i fiddled about in the 1st week, but have seen slower recovery than usual, i guess from the less hours of light? will be checkin in your grow see how how ur ladies get on, i see u slide towards the sativa..:jointsmile:

pr :thumbsup: how are you? all good i hope!
thank you for your kind words, and your sound advice. i will defo be buying some stakes, i have wondered about this tho? do the not damage the roots? is there another method? i have nothing i can tie above either and the last thing i want is broken branches and damaged nugs. bear is gettin bigger along with the plants lol hope to see you at the very end.

oh and kest, if u want big yields, try a 3 month veg, im planning on it in due coarse..

nearly forgot, my nutes for veg are ionic grow, soil. ionic boost. iv waited the two weeks in the past but find with 400w at week two i already have signs of nute def, first feed with the 1st top, for flower i use sensi bloom advanced nute part a and part b with the ionic boost, i dont half my nute mix, i feed em what is says on tin
