Giant leaves!

Teknique70 · #1 10-15-2006, 03:19 PM

Ok so if you look at my most recent pics you may be able to tell that the leaves are spreading out pretty far and the leaves themselves are pretty big. I'm worried that it is going to get to crowded in there. Any ideas?

In hind sight Im thinking since the spacing is so close between plants that I should have started out with the light higher so the streched. But still I don't think that would be a solution.

Well hopefully they wont block light from the neighbor. If they do either relocate it or you could trim the leaf. Im not saying cut all the leaves off. lol someone actually did that on here. What strain is that? My ak47's are like that. They have long branches with huge leaves at the end. Its a short plant but it reaches out wide. Kinda a pita. I will try to take a pic of one and put it up here.

The only leaves that make the good hash is the leaves that are close to the bud and are all fuzzy with thc chrystals. The big fan leaves dont do much at all.

Dont know the strains just some seeds from some high grade shwag.
But I would appreciate a picture if you could show me.

STretching is BAD.. always..

If I were you.. this is what I would do.. I would clone the two or three tallest plants.. and then i would wait 5 more days and flower all of them..

The 2 biggest plants.. especially the plant in the forground is ready to flower NOW...

I know that sounds obsurd.. but it is NOT.. your setup is perfect for early flowering and Horrible for late flowering..

Either way, when you decide to flower you should not have any plants that are taller than 4 inches.. yes .. I said it.. 4 inches..

ok garden you sparked my interests. I was under the assumption that they should be around a foot when the flowering process begins. why 4"? seems a little premature to me (I a mstill a rookie though).

Well,,that is more of the old school thought.. More and more growers are flowerig newly rooted clones. The results are awesome.. and the same reults are true with healthy seedlings.. Usually, with 4-6 nodes a plant can be flowered with tremendous success.. soooooo many growers wait till their plants get 12-20 inches tall.. and then they can not provide enough light for the lower foliage...

Number of nodes is more important than height...

Tek is also in a special situation.. he has this miniture aero system going that can not handle small plants.. it can only handle miniature plants.. : )

ok I think I understand. We are looking for smaller plants to flower inturn to utilize the lighting we have. trying to get the most bud out of our lights. I'll try this.
