and more...

The cold does bring out any purple colour in your plants during flowering.

Would that purple color stay during drying and curing?

[ridethefire]

mmmmmm.... purple!

The purple should stay but its very strain dependant on how much they turn at what temp as fas is i understand. My White rhino had red bits in it. It didnt make it stronger but it looked dam good.

We topped one of our smaller plants a couple days ago...

Does the actual stem grow into 2 or does the growth on the nodes take over?

[Legalizdahurb]

The new growth will come from the nodes unles you F.I.M. ed it.

Check it out, here is the plant we topped then LST'd. See the two tops formed where the stem splits? This one produced a few large tops, instead of a bunch of little ones. And over all it had the most even canopy.

This one was just LST'd.

I dunno, its hard to compare, cause they're not the same strain. But I like topping once then tying, seemed to work nice. The other two were tied, then we fim'ed all the new tops that formed. Now one of them has like 44 tops that i can count. But they are all small tops, as opposed to the few larger ones.

I can't wait to see how yours turns out. Lst'ing is a beautiful thing to watch, i love the way the plant transforms its shape just because you bent it.

Just found out that the HPS thats being given to us is 400watts w/ ballast. We should be setting it up around 10:00pm tomorrow. Im thinking that we may want to veg for an additional week with HPS-let them get a little bigger.

In an effort to make this thread somewhat educational, ill start posting some of the problems we've encountered, as well as the ones we are currently having throughout the rest of the thread. Again, Any comments/criticism/advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

-Being under CFL's, we wanted to maximize the amount of light that the plants were getting to ensure tight, close nodes. To do this we pushed all pots very close together. Without realizing, during moving the plants for LST, Watering, Etc, some of the ends of leaves have been pinched off. This doesn't seem to have caused very many problems but I am afraid that it may have stunted growth a little.

-Im currently using miracle grow grow products as soil/nutrients. I am well aware of the bad reputation miracle grow has, but seems good so far but only time will tell. Maybe next grow ill do a half miracle grow to see how ineffective it actually is...

-We dont have any PH tester... Should I give them distilled water instead of tap?


Thanks again to those of you who comment...

Stay high :rasta:
