GMT1975A ...ya been building up for a good grow
.... the white rhino's you been growing sound like a super yielding plant
Lil Neutrino glad to have you aboard...here is a link for LST I made 90% is cfl grown bro....
Low Stress Training
Now I am seeing it is beneficial even with HID. I only have 600 watt lights and after 4 foot down on a plant light is close to nothing.
Hoping training will allow me to grow plant that can yield 3-4 ounces and keep plant height under 40 inches.
Some i am growing straight up and can see a lot of lower branches will never get light eoungh to make any worth while buds....I could have trimmed off at least two more stems up from bottom.
With cfl's if i kept plant 12-16 inches high when finished.... I could yield more because more buds were at level light could get to them and make them tighter.
siscokid ya and in a week it should be ready...took two small plants of Get Me By Bud this morning
tricome It seems really easy for me...but if ya do it often it does get easier .....after a couple mishaps with ph pens we decided not to buy another.......So past few months i take my tap water in gallon jug add a splash of vinegar water (diluted) and like cooking after a while nothing is messured....LOL at least not for me......I test it with ph test kit chemical type
and see how strong mix was i made.....from that point on till mix runs out i know just how much dash of it to use per gallon so dont test ph anymore
Now nukes are easy too....I add just a dash of floronova according to plant...bigger plant = bigger dash
Like cooking....Now flower girls get floronova and bloom nukes open sesame and beasties bloom .....I use very small dashes of these nukes...1/4 what is recommended and plants love it....3 months i have been just dash of this dash of that according to plant and it's stage...and it has become so easy ...again because of repetition...one day i just sat back and stopped stressing about PH and not having a pen and started to watch the plants....when i mix up nukes they are dashed at somewhere in the ball park of not too high and not too low....and there seems to be a perfect variation in the ph each water to take up nukes at levels they need.....I don't think it ever varies too differently between waterings to harm them.....also now that i have switched to Pro Mix it helps buffer things out and so far plants like everything we are doing and we simply watch them and let them tells us what they need...but we are at point of growing now we can relax on a lot we used to stress over and just watch the grass grow....if plant gets yellow on leaves we give it open sesame instead of beastie bloom cause there is N in one and none in other. and as far as beastie bloom being for one week in plants life...I don't keep track of that stuff...one watering i give it Beastie and one might be Open sesame ....don't go by any real charts...just a dash of this or that and mix it up a bit and so far plants are responding well.
I stopped keeping good track of when plants go in I always have to look back in journals to see ages of plants and if it wasn't for journal most i would not know age......this is much more of a laid back simple grow .....water every two days...give them light and dark periods....move the air around....and they grow buds . At end of flowing i flush once then water with molasses only til i chop down usually week or two after i start flush.....all depends on plant ...trichomes....hairs....and all....found time is difereant for each plant even if clones from same plant....one is always closer to light or something so may finish quicker. We go by reading the color of trichomes they start out clear on strains we have and when they start to get cloudy you can see the cloudiness at edges of round glands eventually making it's way to top and cover whole dome.....then depending on window the glands start to turn amber as THC degrades into couch lock chemical
We always cut early.....7 weeks on a 8 week plant....always when they are at least half cloudy....we like the more up high it gives....or at least less couch lock
I am one of the lucky ones....it really comes easy for me....I enjoy it and it is relaxing to watch them grow....I have more time than most with plants which is a really big factor. For now this is simple for me .....very cheap...and results will be more than enough for us so will spread these meds to family....someday i might get real equipment ....ebb and flow....but for now this is super simple and getting great results.
The way things are going........hell the way things are....people want someone to help or grow their meds and this is all just personal now... but am not opposed to taking a position to do just that , as a retirement job
I promise i won't smoke all the meds!
OK ...you got me ...I am very high...just smoked a bowl of BB ....and after this book am planing on filling another
Foot note .....on plants flowering i do raise ph slowly by adding less of my vinegar mix and test ph then too....so i do check twice and have two different dashes that are remembered and mixed with ruffly same dash till i mix up new batch. I start them off at 6.0 -6.5 .....what veg gets....and by the time they are ready to chop i am up to ruffly 7.0-7.2....I read it somewhere it is good to raise ph of plant flowering....and has been a habit lately....so wanted to foot note it all.....don't want to hide no secrets of the trade lol.......want ya all to have super results in all ya grows......now that i think about it....I wonder how many other things i do as second nature that i have learned that i haven't mentioned...I do skip simple things in my journals like letting water sit more than 24 hours and all that cause to me that is well known and seems not worth mentioning....so if anyone is following using advise and something dont work the same just ask...maybe i have missed putting something in here i assume is well known....blah blah blah....time to smoke
Here is most recent LST on some DP BlueBerry ......3 plant from start to present.....
I have to get a picture up later....Yes it is over flowing! It is spreading like a green plague all over 
Change and adapt 
I too check trichs and prefer the up high.
