Very nice! The stems on your girls are all looking nice and thick. You can tell they will be some strong ladies(Hopefully) when they come of age.
The LST is coming along nicely as well. Very low and compact. You have plenty of room to work with so make it count!
looking good bro
Thanks TM...trying to stay on top of things...
Thanks TOG...I'm convinced these thick stems and close nodes comes from cfl...looks like the only one stretched was #2...i had it under a 400w MH
Looks like youve been kickin some metaphoric ass in here my brutha, plants coming along nice and bushy. Your lst techniques are being noted by me so i can give it a whirl my next round. Im ready to see this jock horror explode with bud keep up the great work man
A few things that might cause the stretch would be either substandard lighting or simply Genetics. it might have just played out that way, luck of the draw I guess. Most of my girls were under the T5 and most have very compact node structure.
When I put them under my MH they all kept the same structure. #3 of my plants(Before I had to kill it) Has such a tight node structure I had to thin him out several times to get some type of light Penetration.
Everything is looking great on your end. Keep doing what you are doing.
Growers vegging that long usually end up with long bare stems reaching up to the green, lit zone. More, stronger light is what I see a need for in your tent.45 days in veg...what do you think..should i extend...they say more veg time..more buds...
Can always use more lightGrowers vegging that long usually end up with long bare stems reaching up to the green, lit zone. More, stronger light is what I see a need for in your tent.
Hey Miwa, depends on strain more than anything. If you are flowering under the 400, I would not veg them any taller than a foot or so. Assume a stretch of 2-3 times, they end up at 2 to 3 foot tall. The 400 will not penetrate that deep. Have you considered a SCROG to spread them out more than basic LST?
I think 45 days will be plenty.....unless you are SCROGing
You won't herm them from LST, whatever it takes t keep the CFLs RIGHT ON TOP of the plants (or sides if you grow them tall). Otherwise you will just grow stems like Propa stated. How many watts of CFL you planning to run? MH may be nice for some heat this winter and be more efficient too.
