Fimmed and LST'd by a noober.

[4x5]

Since your plants are starting to flower, check all of them, you may have a male in there out to ruin your crop; also I'd stop stressing them with the bending or you may end up with hermies.

Well, I did wind up with one hermie, but I had some temperature spikes once I installed my HPS. I have since added an exhaust fan (just yesterday) and the temperature recorder didn't get over 80 last night.

I am down to four females, and I've stopped bending them a week and a half ago, so I'm hopeful that I'm going to be able to keep them happy for the next 6 weeks.

I'll snap some photos of them tonight and post em up. The 4 are happy.

i just wanted to give you props on your new light! nice hood looks high quality what brand?

[herbaltivo]

Ha, the light is the cheapo from hgtsupply.com, less than 150 shipped 400W HPS, plus the 2 175W MH for the heck of it. I took some new pics of some of the flowering development and the canopy of the remaining 4 plants.

The first picture is the cola of the one plant that I seemed to FIM correctly. The rest just look like ordinary colas so far. Not all of the pictures are of the top colas of each plant, but with the FIM and LST there are some pretty substantial side shoots.

For the record this is day 16 of flower.

Ok, now some of the shoots are out of control growth wise, I'm having to raise the lights up more than I'd like to keep them from burning, and I'm losing some lighting on the shorter, bushier plants which is a bummer...

I've included some pics. The stretchy ones should be easy to see. Any thoughts?

It's day 21 of 12/12. Some new pics. I'm going to watch southpark and will check back in with y'all tomorrow.

The first pic is kinda big. This is the budsite post.

Plants here. The first one was my runt, now it's the best of the lot, bushy, even canopy (compared to the others). The second is one of the others, not sure which...

[herbaltivo]

They were dry when these photos were taken.

plants look pretty good buds are starting to develop nicely :thumbsup:

[herbaltivo]

Yeah, I'm really happy with 3 of the 4 plants. I have one that just is growing these weird, airy buds, it's a big plant, it stretched a little, but not more than two of the others which are developing "normally" if not a little slowly.

Here is one macro shot of the top of one of the branches of a happy plant. I'm going to use the tripod tonight to try to get some more depth of field so look for more clarity soon...

Since they're all FIMMED and LST'd they have lots of good tall branches acting as main colas, so no donkey dicks but lotsa buddy branches with nice tops.

I'd do the FIM again, but I only got one of the FIM's right (a branched top rather than a normal one) but my plan is to SCROG the next round topping and topping and topping...
