MY BABIES Take a gander and throw in your advice!

:thumbsup: Gonna start at week four and here she is nice and bushy with plenty of foliage. I'm waiting on my mylar but am short of circulation, i have on 9 inch fan in there and am using a mapito pot with clay balls, but am finding out that she is sucking up too much nutrient and i have figured out why. The mapito pot has a shallow tank at the bottom so she only drains so much and leaves nutes in the bottom so i have sat it above a tank and drill a few tiny holes in the bottom thus letting her drain fully but not too fast. I am feeding her on 1/2 strength nutes (House and garden) and she seems to be doing fine. What do you guys think of her?

Well guys no replies as yet? She is an Indica/Sativa Sensi Skunk plant at 4 week and i am wondering if i should put her on 12/12 yet? She has started to show signs of her sex and the next week or so should let me know, but i am pretty sure she is female. Fingers crossed

eh up - I'd with until you have alternating nodes, probably another couple of weeks.
nice and bushy though - what light are you using? also, how long have you been growing in baked beans?

[EckyThump]

happy growin man

peace

Didn't understand the baked bean bit? She's under a 400watt Hps which i know isn't wise for vegging but am on a tight budget and will buy another lamp for vegging on my next grow. I think i will take your advice though and wait till my mylar arrives which should be any time soon! From heavenly orchards in CA u.s.a (Very cheap).Baked beans got ya now! Ha Ha! This is the first grow in BAKED BEANS, just thought it would help with rooting as i've been told about getting oxygen into the roots?

[shaunyboy666]

I've tied the main stem over to get light into the lower branches is this wise?

[emmpey]

I thought you had topped it cos its so bushy, yeah tie the top down and those branches will shoot up and give you a higher yield.

LOL - yeah sorry about the beans gag, sad sense of humour.

[shaunyboy666]

No worrys emmpey, i got it in the end, just had to wait for the rusty cog in my head to start turning. No she hasn't been topped yet when should i do this. I know this gives you extra bud but not quite sure of the process?

[emmpey]

no don't top it, it slows the growth down for a week or so, its better to just tie the end over . If you don't know tying the end over is known as Low Stress Training or LST and there's a ton of stuff on the web covering this technique.

check out this thread, i made it myself and it basically explains how to top, and what topping does... hopefully it should help,
