I like how this is coming along. It looks more crowded. How do u plan on manipulating the girls via supercropping and LSTing in such a tight space?

hi sully welcome aboard mmmm im not really sure how tall this strain gets to be honest last time round at 6 weeks old we had a few standing 32 inches tall i have limited head space hense the supercrop and LST and topping if i had to hazzord a guess on finish size i wud say they wud at least double in size first 2 weeks so 64 inches tall and then a small stretch of about 8 inches till harvest a grand height of 6 foot........hope this helps .........be lucky weedtastic

hi mate i still have my ties on the stems so as i see one shooting higher than most i just pull her down a little more im hoping to do no further supercroping or topping at this stage.........ive looked back at this stage last time round (1st grow ) and look to be about 10/14 days ahead so ill give you a few facts as to why i think these girls are flying this time round........ok firstly all supercroping LST ing and topping was done in veg this time round and not in flower like last time.....(massive difference) 2nd they were swaped and changed from hps to mh in veg so to stretch then thicken...(massive difference but a lot of hard work ha ha ) 3rd last time round i gave them booster juice last 3/4 feedings before harvest this time they are getting the boost already ( the boost costs £45 for 1 ltr real expensive ) but making a big difference......4th these are clones so as ive not worked with clones i shud add this fact also as clones maybe better than seedlings ? but i don t know for sure perhaps you do ?.........ok mate these are the 4 major differences from last time round.....hope this help you and anybody else tuning in ha ha.............be lucky weedtastic

Clones vs Seed
Clones are cool and very convenient. U are guaranteed 100% females from a female mother. Cloning gives growers a faster turn around between grows. Seed however are said to grow more vigorously and yield more. The drawbacks are waiting to sex and removing males, missing a male, and it takes longer for most strains (excluding auto flowering strains) from start to finish (compared to clones). I'm sure I left out somethings but u get the picture right?

Re: Clones vs Seed
yes mate thanks i get the picture so will the clones take less flowering times also ? thanks inadvance.......be lucky weedtastic

less total finishing time if u were to grow clone and seed side by side. With the exact same everything, yes the clones will finish faster every time. A strain's/plant's flowering time is its flowering time. Its the same. Now hydro will finish faster than soil typically. Maybe aero a little faster some1 correct me if I'm wrong here.

I made the same newbie mistake the first time, weedtastic, but this time they're getting a week to settle down after the last pinch. your girls certainly seem to have gained from the recovery you've allowed them.
BTW are you getting lots of air movement through your plants? They are getting thick.

this is my favourite pic i took tonite if you look close at the bottom left plant this is the pheno which has real thick buds and very thick stems and is ....real dark green....................the plant top left is the other pheno type which has tight buds on thinner stems... its also lighter green a classic example of the 2 strains white widow and ak47 producing there own pheno types
interesting pic
Curious if the stone/taste is noticeably different.

Hi weedtastic, I finally got things together so I'll drop a few pics on ya if you don't mind.
20x27 inch empty rack has 9" of height adjustment left, more can be added but it'll require duct tape,lol. sorry perspective sucks but I was anxious to load some plants.
Plants in place on Oct2nd. 2 Afi's on the left, super skunk x Grape Crush right foreground and BC Big Bud in the back, The Big Bud was a little smaller but it'll help fill things up a little. Super Skunk and Big Bud both were LST'd half way around their pots so they need some time to straighten out and open up, lots of hidden growth in the underbrush. Last supercropped Oct4, just a couple of light pinches on a few branches. Did that mainly to force myself to let them spread out for at least a week, lol. I don't know if they'll fill the screen but should load it up most of the way.
Bright spots on the left and right walls got me thinking I could add a couple of plants if the sceen was square. Maybe next time, no room on the sides in the closet.
The three plants in the smaller pots are cycling about every 5 days, much better than last round. I double potted 2 of them as I was just beginning to see roots at the drainage holes. Only an extra inch and a half of soil and some down the sides but it'll help a little, at least keep the air off em for a while.
Clones 2 each, Super Skunk x GC, Afi and Big Bud just cloned today, they go back in the dark after the pics.
Any comments or suggestions are welcome

Thanks for the welcome, weedtastic

yeah I was a little slow coming around but mostly was trying to get my plants a little more uniform in size. (thats my story and I'm stickin to it,lol)
Dunno about a masterpiece but I'm hoping it'll work out. Certainly appreciate the compliment though, thank you. I just used whatever scraps I had on hand, didn't want to use up my good hardwood boards for something I'll probably soak a few times.
The LED definitely makes it tricky to get a handle on colors. I had a little nute burn on the fringes of some of the early fan leaves after a shot of Miracle Grow All Purpose to bounce them during a slowdown in growth. And I actually splashed nutes on one of the Afi tips but all survived, thought that was a dead tip even after rinsing.
When they're ready to flower they'll get one more shot of Miracle Grow (high N)just to help with the stretch then back to Botanicare flower formula. Need to pick up some Cal mag or something of that sort for the end of the first month of flower, a little molasses added after week 4 as well.
yep the extra perlite seems to be making all the difference in cycle time. I'm using a small heater to keep closet temps at 75F as well as a 12"osc fan.
Ya know I'm sure there's something I could have done differently but thats where 420 comes in. I'm hoping anybody with scrog experience can point out any shortcomings.
I'll join you in a celebratory toot.
The largest pot in the left rear is the oldest Afi, it's a 3 1/2 or 4 gallon pot. The other 3 are 2 gallon and maybe a little too small for long veg. Still hunting for pots that are taller and square for next round. The 3 gal will definitely not be on the same cycle but I didn't want to try to repot in a smaller pot so I'll work around it this time.
That skunk is a thirsty girl (right front) she seems to dry a little faster than the others.
thx for the invite weedtastic, and I welcome any criticisms or ideas.

yeah I think the roots like having to go look for water/food.
Your buddy was probably looking at the roots around the base where they tend to go first. I think there's still lots of medium to be used in the rest of the pot when the roots are starting to wind around the bottom and that gets root growth later on.
I enjoy your stoned ramblings my friend, always educational. I'll be watching for your pics.
