first time grower and im stumped

[Volker]

does anyone think i should cut all the leaves of my plant so all the effort goes into growing the grow tips.

Nope. Think of those leaves as a snack bar for the branches. Also, they'll tell ya stuff about what your plant's doing later down the line. I.e., late in bud when the big bottom leaves start getting eaten up (by the plant) and falling off, you'll know harvest time is just around the corner.

is that when i have to change the light cycle to 8 hrs light and 16 hrs dark.

you don't have to change the light cycle at all. 12/12, that's it. simple. yet effective... reitterated, DO NOT change the light cycle. just let her flower babe...

yop...You screwed the pooch running 13/11! that is a flowering photoperiod, now I agree with KP. You need to just put nher in flower at 12/12 or you can put her back to 13/11, but DO NOT try to re-veg her!!!

budsmoker is right. you have a female...one thing you coud do that would help you out in a couple months... Go down below the next set of noes below the top and top her...root the top for a mom or just a clone that will be ready in 11-12 weeks

ok then i will not touch the time anymore. but in three days i get payed and i will but 3 more lights to up the watts to 600. should i keep feeding her 24-8-16 for a little longer or should i pick up a high phosphate fertilizer right away to feed her.

i was also thinking becouse i have a self watering pot. should i keep using the high nitrogen fert in the bottom and spray the top of the soil and leaves with the high phosphate fert.

[latewood]

just water for a few days and watch the plant...In a week if she looks nice and healthy...change to bloom ferts. easy on the ferts...don't burn'em

[barry buds]

she is growing fast now . up to 200mm or 20cm or 8 inchs.

[barry buds]

now just so i have this correct. when the plant eats up the bottom leaves and they fall off is that when i stop fertilizing and give it just plain water. so the buds dont taste like fertilizer.
