To each their own. I try and limit stress but IMO you've only improved your potential final result. Bend em cut em strip em. I've been a fan of it since about 7 years ago. A deer got ahold of one of my outdoor plants and chewed it to a nub with 8-12 leaves and 3 branches.. fast forward 3. Months and she yielded as much as the next two combined and was half the height but three times as wide. Never let one grow right since Haha. But its purely preference. Experiment and form ur own opinion and share it with us lol

One thing I notice is physical injury, I know they can take it, but if they don't have to they will concentrate their energy on growth, rather than repair....I try to be gentle with the girls, and then they are ready when I injure them on purpose...Just a thought.

What I have found is that many small things add up to big things, all I was saying is that If my plants are injured, I aim to accomplish a purpose by doing it, it can't be denied that a plant will require diversion of energy and cellular task changes, all which require energy diversion from the main task...to grow me some dank bud....many little pieces to the puzzle. I have heard of people abusing their plants on purpose to CREATE stress, not saying your plants are stressed, quite the contrary, just saying that the laws of nature say that a plant will have to expend energy to combat stress and injury.

Definetly (wasn't disagreeing) however most the time there is damage it ends up benefitting the plant. Stronger stems more flower sites etc. Well worth the.day or two of shock to me. Little vitamin b and they never knew it happened.

I look at it as senses I suppose. If u lose ur sight u tend to gain in smell taste etc... take a plants main khola away from it and that energy has to go somewhere.

I am definately not opposed to constructive calculated damage, or CCD....LOL. After my first supercrop ( after messin up a few LOL) I was hooked on the CCD......LOL

 

[Cloudofwisdom]

Yes so i'm not at busta status!....anyway thanks for all the wise words gentlemen. I did notice after I LST'd them that they stopped growing as much as they had been. I thought it was because I messed up and took off the dying leaves, but since then they have been booming in growth. I think it has a lot to due with the switch to 12/12 or maybe both. I've seen so many journals where people supercrop and LST that i really wanted to give it a try. The results are showing nicely, couldn't be happier. Plus its great to hear so much Good feedback. I was sure I was messin up bigtime!!!

As far as helping out I will be able to tell you only if it indica or sativa dominant. Big broad leaves are an indica trait where skinny long points are sativa dominant. Other than that there is not much I would be able to tell you.

They look about 70-80% indica dominant, I'll let you figure out how to tell by experience, I can tell you that leaf patterns are the key. Everything looks pretty good, much better. Those bushy heads look greeat!, that's rapid growth when leaves just start squirtin out everywhere, she's tryin to keep em in order, but they're comin sooooo fast LOL. I would be careful about leaving an avenue for possible future issues, those ties you have are awfully thick, and at some point debris might get into them, or maybe not, but there is potential for them harboring moisture against the stem and creating a point of entry for things you dont want. You are doing well, you gotta look at the new growth, like life, we can't change where we've been, but we have a certain amount of control over our future....your plants are doing REALLY GOOD!!!!! + reps BTW, your numbers in environment are lovely

 

[Cloudofwisdom]

Thanks for the kind words Mcloadie they have been growing crazy and the oldest one is lookin very nice. I agree with the straps I used they are too big. Once I have my other room finished ill be makin a few changes that will hopefully improve there growth and keep them safe from unwanted problems. Can wait to see them fully grown. Hoping for at least 1 Lovely Lady.

I prefer white paint over reflective, I can't see good enough to sex, make sure not to overwater.

 

[Danishoes21]

nice plants man, I couldn't believe the growth you got after switching to 12/12, they double their size... I also have a small space, your results got me thinking, if it's a good moment to switch lights in my garden...

You can make your plants any size you want bro!

 

[Cloudofwisdom]

Hey Danishoes21
To be honest I had no idea I could switch the cycles so soon. I had my plants under the 18/6 light cycle for 3weeks before switching them. I believe it was TacticalGrow that advised me to think about the switch. He saw the small room i was working with and had some help since he himself had that issue once. If it wasn't for the FINE PEOPLE on this website my plants would be lookin horrible. Same can be said about LST-ing and TOPPING, I had no idea the benifits of doin both. Lots of info on the website if you have the time to research, but you can ask like I always do everyone here is super friendly.

Hey Mcloadie or anyone
question??? After transplanting my plants last night they seem to look really good from the pic i took but i look this morning and the plants are low/sad....Any ideas of what it may be??? Change in soil maybe or its just takin time to get use to the new home???
I just got my babies looking great don't want to kill them now hahahaha

 

[cannasensei]

Can u post a pic? Sounds like simple shock, if uve got any vitamin b give em a light foliar spray (be sure.to raise the.lights a few hours)

I'm with MC on the paint. Flat white paint is 80% reflective, easy to clean and maintain, and doesn't absorb. I do love the look of Mylar but k always end up going paint or panda

 

[Cloudofwisdom]

Thanks everyone
Here are some pics i just took of 2 plants looking sad and of Hinata's Sexing!!!

Sorry if the image isn't clear. need a better camera
HELP

 

[cannasensei]

I'd guess shock.or lack of o2 to the roots. Did u by chance water then transplant and water them in within a day or two of the first water did u? Did that make sense? Lol

 

[cannasensei]

He leaves look healthy flat and green so I don't think its nutrient or Ph related in the least. Just looks sad.. misses her.old.pot I bet haha
