Thanks man, yea i have my tent loaded right now but i will be taking 8 photo blueberry girls out here pretty soon. That will leave me with 8 autos in there, i may have to end up taking a couple of them out also if it gets to crowded. I have a 600w hps i can put them under if need be, my buddy also has a 1000w hps i can use also.✌

I'd love to. I learned by others helping me...and me screwing up a bunch lol.
I gotta go run back to the light bulb house in a few. Taking a quick break. But here's a quick tip I figured out that may help first. Take it for what it's worth. It's not gospel. Take little bits a pieces from everyone and find what works best for you. Training your plants is an art and you are the artist.
I only top once before beginning lst. Above the fourth node and I remove the first two nodes because they are not as vigorous. This leaves four main internode branches to work with. I've done more but 4 is nice for my set up.
First thing I've found is to wait until the two top branches have reached a good height and internode branches on those branches have protruded. If you start the lst before the internode branches have really started to come out I have found that the plants reaction is slow because the new growth is soft and sensitive and not ready for full light yet. Either way will work but I have found waiting till the right time results in very fast response and growth. I have tons of pics from previous grows to show the wrong ways I have started lst and the more effective ways, incase my wording is not clear and sometimes pictures speak a thousand words. Just let me know.

Well, I'm off to mix up 8 gals of nutrient mix 4 different ways now for 4 different needs.

Thanks, i will post some pics when i get through tomorrow and let you have a look. Then if anyone has any advice on anything i will go from there. Like you said, i will find out what works best for me and my method of growing, everyone is different but i really do appreciate all the advice you have gave me. I feel better about jumping into it now.✌

That's exactly right. I've been through the trial and error part if you would like a couple pointers I have found works good just let me know. Otherwise get in there and start tieing them bitches up lol. You learn the most by doing.

I have a question Jay233, i believe i seen in one of your post somewhere that you have some high humidity at times, my question is when my lights go off my humidity goes up to 70, sometimes even80 but my fan is on the timer, exhaust fan and clip fan, should i let my exhaust and clip fan run 24/7, would that help bring my humidity down during lights off. Thanks in advance.✌
 
I was looking on my nutes at ingredients, i seen where the ff has magnesium but didn't see anything about calcium, said something about boron but don't know waht that means. I added dolomite lime to my soil (2tbs per gal of soil). How often do i need to add the calmag. I added 1/4 strength today, should i add every time I water, i just don't want to over do it.✌

Tom I just wrangled this , I was spiking to 77-84% w/ lights out , fans and exhaust on 24/7 ....
Didn't change - u need a dehumidifier , I had to get one now I'm golden..... I found a used one in Craigslist lol and cleaned it up works great $30.
Emptied the bin twice already! But the results are worth the $30!!! 50% lights out and 45% lights on so far

I was very very afraid of getting bud rot or powdery mildew or any kind of mold w/ humidity that high .
 
Yes, what Phil said.
Tom your clip fan should be on 24/7 for air circulation. Your humidity is going to climb more at lights out often times.
A dehumidifier works wonders. I have one with a integral pump and drain line and it saves a lot of hassel. I have mine at 40% now in the flower room. Removes gallons of water daily from the air. Unfortunately I'm not Donald Trump and I only have one right now lol. The veg room has high humidity which is perfect unless you are me and are also flowering autos in your veg room as well lol.
 
Thanks for the info, i have a dehumidifier built in to my ac unit, i try not to run the ac if i dont have to, it cost quite a bit to run. Its getting hotter as summer gets closer so im gonna have to start running it soon anyway. I was just wondering if the fans would help. I guess i will go ahead start running the dehumidifier on the ac when lights go out.✌
 
I appreciate all the info, do most people keep a fan inside the tent running during lights off period.✌
 
I have 3 small , one at the bottom, mid and very top lol all on 24/7 gotta keep that air moving, not say that's most people , but I like how it's looking -

Thanks, i will start leaving on, i wasn't sure on that. I had them hooked up to the timer. I was thinking about leaving them on, i figured they needed the airflow but i wantef to ask someone to make sure. I appreciate the info.✌
 
Well the girls seem like they are still doing good. I started to do a little lst on one when my brother called with car trouble so i have to go help him. The one i started on i just took a pipe cleaner and hooked it on her and pulled her top over and down a little bit. Looks like it will help light get down to the lower shoots, maybe they will catch up to the top and make everything more even. I will do some more lst afterwhile or in rhe morning, depends on how tired i am when i get back from helping my brother lol. I also hooked my fans up to a different plug-in so there not on the timer that way they will run 24/7. Here's a few pics, first pic is the one i attempted the lst on lol.✌
