Hello From Ontario Canada

[Plutopirate]

Now that it is legal to do so, I decided to try to grow a few plants. I have 3 Bakerstreet Kush plants about 1 month from seed. I bought basic tent,lights,nutes etc and am making typical newbe mistakes but it is becoming a fun hobby. Hope to tap in to the great resources here along the way so I don't totally screw it up. lol

Yay. Another Ontarian. Welcome to . Greens look good. Doing some kind of training are ya?

I have topped 2 of them and tried pulling main stem on 2 of them to the side to get light to new undergrowth as these plants are so dense! I am worried that they are not stretching very much. I only have a 600watt equivalent led and had it fairly high but this strain is supposedly low growing bush. I have another light on the way as I feel I will need the 2 to fully cover my 3'x2' tent. Any comment / criticism is welcome.

For that many plants, you will need more light. So good call on that. You should start a grow journal.

Welcome to 420 Pluto!

Welcome to 420! Great to see a new grower, and one that's humble about learning. (some new growers put up an image of experience) There are plenty of experienced growers here to learn from. With that being said, here's a couple of tips:

First off, have patience. Give these wonderful plants time to show you how they like things, like light, water, temps, humidity etc.

Secondly, don't panic when something looks wrong. These plants are very resilient, and can come back fast from a near death experience. When we panic, we often overlook things, and try things that could be irreversible. Help is just a question away, here at 420!

Lastly, enjoy! Nothing is better, or more satisfying, than enjoying the fruits of your labor!

Best of luck!

I will think about the Journal thing. I have documented everything from day 1 in a diary and took tons of pics

Ha! I've been there. I've snapped off branches, and duct taped them back together. Very nerve racking for sure.

Question.
My plants are so dense, I have tried lst with string to pull main stem to one side to get light to undergrowth, topped once. Would I be doing major harm/shock if I removed some of the fan leaves that have covered the whole plant? would really like it if plant was a few inches higher

 

[Pennywise]

Just remember that the fans are the plants solar panels. When you remove them you'll slow them down until they grow new foliage.

Do you have a suggestion on what I can do or should I just carry on and not worry about it being so dense?

 

[Captain Cannabis]

Once the new shoots get big enough, tuck the fans behind them, so the new growth gets light.

 

[Pennywise]

Yes, believe it or not she'll grow out eventually. Especially once she's flipped to 12/12

 

[Plutopirate]

Penny You were right. Give a little time and they will start to flourish. They are loving their new light! Sorry for the blurpie but I was in a hurry before work this morning.
