2Water's 1st Grow

[Bill284]

So I will keep all 3, might as well, right? Riker will be getting her final top soon for an 8 top mainline. Droopy, i topped her too early, just going to grow her out for now. Twista, I will be pruning and lst'ing her tonight, hope I can top for 8 tops come Wednesday. Brought the humidifier back in, raising temp to 84F high and 72F low, and 62%rh. Currently getting 430ish ppfd for each plant. Once I have finished topping, I will shoot to get ppfd around 600 for 2 weeks before flipping to flower.

You have it all planned out well.
Girls are still happy.
Great garden.
Take care.

Thanks Bill, life has been a little busier for me lately, so not s much time to jump on here. I'm thinking about topping Riker one more time, she is mainlined to 8 at the moment, will going for 16 help increase my yield? I wasnt too worried when I was counting 4, then 3... but since I'm not counting on much from Droopy. Is 5 or 6oz crazy thinking at this point?

Harvest weight will be bounded to a certain extent by pot size and the roots ability to transfer nutrients.

So after a point you'll get more but smaller buds, or fewer but larger buds.

8 is a good compromise from my view.

Good point, I was trying more of a way to fill up the tent more. Should have read this first maybe, I got itchy fingers and decided since she has took all of the other training so well, I topped for 16. I also cleaned up Twista, she will have 7 tops. Droopy seems to have had a good day, but still rough. All in all, I have enjoyed learning so much from my stubbornness. I really needed to see what these plants can take, and understand what harms and helps them. 6 weeks has gone by fast.

I've read that mainlines should be a 10 week veg, is that including seedling stage? Anyways, heres some pics as of 20 minutes ago:

Rikers stem, did I leave enough top?

The 3 ladies as they stand. Really rooting for Droopy!

at some point the extra veg time can be too much, I find.
if you have to wait for droopy and have time anyway, great.
Depending on the pot size, ie. root ball you might need to uppot if your going to veg that much longer.

5-6 oz per plant ? Or From droopy?
If your vegging and training for a decent amount of time 8 ounces is quite easily done.
I'd cut clones , veg for 4 weeks and flip I'd get 4 ounces from them without any training.
Just tie them over.
Hope your doing well.

I like to leave a decent stump on them when I top as it helps prevent splitting later on when they get big in flowercwith lots of weight pulling against each other.

5 to 6 oz all together. So that is 4 weeks after rooting, right?

I thought I did, lol! I'll leave more next time

 

[2Water]

Do you guys think they're old enough or big enough to flip already? Tomorrow will be 6 weeks from sprout. I was shooting by height or the idea that mainlines have to be a 10 week veg. I certainly wouldn't mind not waiting, lol!

I was home today, so cleaned up Droopy, noticed I missed a top on Twista (total of 8!), and Riker is doing her thing as normal.

Riker (16 tops, and been a perfect plant all the way through)

Twista (not so twisted anymore!)

Droopy

Think I will give them a top dress this weekend, and then next weekend flip them. If you guys thinks it's too early, please let me know!

Can't tell from your pictures, but is the new growth still coming out in opposite nodes or have they begun alternating?

They have not started alternating, but I have sexed them all except Droopy. Twista and Droopy were too stacked on nodes, and my rookie snipping skills manifested a few times, lol

Hey guys, a little extreme haircuts on all the ladies. I'm flipping to 12/12 Sunday

Yikes!

Yikes!

It hurt me more!

Hey guys, a little update. 1 week into 12/12, been battling some heat and humidity (I forgot to turn un the humidifier one day!). They appear healthy, but they have nute burns on almost all the leaves tips. Also, I tried to leave all of the bud sites when I defoliated, but it appears all of the lower sites look orange and dead. Should I be concerned or is that normal?

Good morning Amigo
Garden looks great this morning.
Burnt tips aren't usually an issue, just means she had enough to eat.
No harm there.
The bud sites that look damaged, do you have any pics?
I clean out below the light line after stretch.
So those bud sites get removed anyway.
It may not be too bad as long as tops are still viable.
Show us the issue when you get a minute.
Take care.
Talk soon.

Hey buddy, hope all is well with you. Yeah, I initially wasn't worried, but then I started to panicked that these ladies weren't going to stretch much and I would have chopped off too much, lol! Anyways, yesterday and today they have really started taking off! Here are some quick picks. I'll have to pull them out tonight and give some good close ups

Riker

Twista

Droopy
