First Grow

[420azluv]

Very nice and clean setup you've got. it's too late for the big girl, but have you thought about LST training the young'ens? i'll deff be keeping my eye on this journal, good luck!

thanks, what is lst training?

anyone know about how often i should change my clone water?

 

[420azluv]

if you just use some frozen 20oz water bottles 1 at a time, but keep 4 or 5 frozen.
Drop it in there and check it after a few hours, replace with new frozen 1 and repeat.
this of course is only needed if your bucket is becoming noticeably warm.

Another solution would be to find a decent timer that will do intervals of a say 5 minutes or less. This allows you to turn your pump on inside the bucket for 30 minutes or even an hour and then shut off for 5 minutes to cool down.

thanks ill try both

"low stress technique" basically you tie (or in my case i use clothes hangers) and get the top cola lower than the side branches, this will redistribute growth hormones in your plant and force the side branches to think they're colas, end result is a bush with many colas as opposed to a christmas tree shape with one main cola.

is it kinda the same as super crop ??

If by that you mean, the methods share the same results which is to increase yield in a small growing space, then yes i would think so, you can also scrogg or sog as well, top, fim, all of the above with create more viable bud sites.

for soil your goona want 2 put them in there within 4-5 days after theyve gotten roots no more! or else its goona be hard to bury them long hairy suckers down in the dirt. Another hint try to get them buried right down to the last set of leaves u left on there so they can support themselves off the humidity from the soil. good luck

agreed, bury them as deep as possible, the stem that's buried will grow even more roots!
