swim doesn't work here
Swim is 1 week and 2 days into 12/12 on his first grow with a 400 watt bulb. Swim started the babies outside and moved em into the controlled setup to start flowering on July 3rd. 2 of them were trained to grow sideways during veg and kept that way since. The other one was topped at about the 6-7th node and started training on both tops yesterday.
There is the one visible fan toward the top of the grow, which oscillates and produces a good amount of airflow, and there is one in the back laying down that blows up at the plants, but is not very strong. 400 watt bulb.
Swim uses Fox Farm nutes following the schedule on their website.
Any comments or suggestions? Thanks

I have a note from my Doctor
Sativa-dominant girls look good! The 3-gallon pots you got them in are exactly what I would use.
Because of the sativa genetics your plant will take quite a while to finish. And with a 400W bulb
you need to keep the light as close to them as you can. Hold your hand on the top of the plant.
If your hand feels warm, that is too close to the light. So jack the light close and you will likely
finish after 9-10 weeks flowering.
Good luck, BigSteve.
They're very large for sativas under a 400 watt light. You're gonna have fun at conopy control in that space.
They look beautiful, nicely done.
I know! I'm starting to get worried.. I was gonna let em grow naturally outside, but they were getting to big out there so i borrowed this from a buddy after like 6 weeks. I'm just gonna have to keep pulling em down and make some nice cluster-bushes.
Anyone wanna make yield guesses?? I'll keep updating as they grow.
Well, when you're training them, dont get frustrated, be patient. It'll come together in the end.
I do predict a "help, my plants are out of control" thread in about three weeks though...![]()
I keep my 400watt about 6 inches away from the plants throughout flowering. Give them one more week of veg nutrients then swap to bloom heavy nute.
My lower leaves are turning yellow. I've read up on it and it seems to be a nitrogen deficiency. Any advice on fixing this problem during the flowering stage?
Pics?
During flowering the demand for nitrogen goes down, and the demand for phosphorous goes up. When supplementing with phosphorous (ie blossom blaster) during flowering, its common for the leaves to turn yellow, thats the increased phosphorous intake, and naturally lower nitrogen intake.
