Fimmed and LST'd by a noober.

[herbaltivo]

So I've got these 6 bagseed plants that are 4 weeks old and I'm pretty much abusin' them (two of them browned up a bit, I kinda starved them we think) but the other 4 are super happy, so I decided to FIM em and LST em. I FIMmed on veg day 31,and I started LST'ing them the next day. I've been tying them down little by little but they're all bent 90 degrees over the soil then 90 degrees to the side. Today is veg day 33 which means I'm waiting until Feb 13th to switch to 12/12.

It's amazing to see all the branches reaching to the lights just waiting to be colas. I'm curious to see what the fimmed areas will look like grown in.

Anyway, obligatory pics. The kinda starved plants are the two right in front but why hide mistakes...

Hi HERB

DO you have holes in the botom of those trash cans..(drainage)?
Are you using anything besides CFLs?

cheers

[herbaltivo]

Yes and yes.

I drilled three 5/8" holes in each container before filling them.

There are 2 175w MH lights with 10000 kelvin bulbs in weird pendant fixtures that I recycled from a saltwater reef tank I used to keep.

I need to get a HPS soon...

I have some more pics that i'll post in a bit but I'm watching 30 rock.

Oh and my Volcano came back from being repaired today and hmmmmmmm ooh so nice.

[herbaltivo]

OK, here are some pics.

The first two are of the curve of one or two of the plants. I can't remember which...

The third is a detail of the fimmed top of one of the plants. Wondering what to expect from here.

The fourth is a detail of the growth of the area beneath the fimmed top.

And the fifth is a closeup of something, can anyone speculate as to what the white growths are?

Enjoy.

Female Pre-flowers hot damN!

[Abattoir Dream]

yeh female pistils...

btw, plants dont go 'brown' when they are starving.. they go bright green..

[herbaltivo]

Well, the actual problem with the two plants is not really clear. They perked up bigtime when I finally started feeding them (I waited about a week too long) so regardless of what actually happened, I'm happy that they're doing better.

Super psyched about the preflowers. I guess I'll look for more indications from the other plants.

Some pics from tonights bondage...

One plant, lst'd, growing. I think it looks like a sunflower on its side with the top bent at a 90. Female.

The first closeup is of some pistils from the same plant. It's blown out but it shows the little fingers/whatever...

The second closeup is of the FIMmed budsite, approximately 5 or 6 days post FIMming. Wondering what will come of this.

Super stoked to know I have some females from this bagseed. I'm considering cloning the 2 confirmed females...

[herbaltivo]

I have 3 females, all FIMmed and LST'd, trying to get them to turn back around the container in a 180; anyway, it's been 8 (or 10) days since I FIMmed them and I was wondering if the FIMmed area looks like it's recovered enough to switch to 12/12?

When you make the switch, do you go gradually or just let em have it?
