CFL indoor 2nd grow

Grandamigo said:

untie them or keep them tied down?

i would keep them tied down to keep them spread out and more even - the whole point is to distribute the auxins that flow more to the top of the plant to the other tops equally in order to try to grow equal size tops.

With this grow I'm under T5's next grow I'm thinking HID.

Flowering week 1 completed.
Extra 150w added (dual spectrum)
Still feeding canna (every 4 days) bt changing to sensi bloom A+B from next week. Plants turning out to be very bushy due to all the LST. I did consider to untie them and let them go mental, bt was advised not to so will keep them tied down till the end of grow. Will try without LST nxt time. Few pictures....

you should see if you can get in there and pinch off the little sucker buds at the bottom of your branches.

Thanks mate, will do!!

They look beautiful, and about those sucker buds (my grandma used to call them hickeys) I agree withSamsonsRiddle chop them off

i try to have all my trimming and training done by day 12 after flip - some people say you have more time, but i try to avoid stress during flower as much as possible. Now if you get some stretchy sativa that grows 3 times its size, some times you don't have a choice.

You could use the nutes you used during veg all the way through. I've never tried them, but the NPK looks great for container growing. The 5-4-8 you'll get from that advanced may cause premature yellowing and leaf drop. You have a few plants, try to do a couple with the veg nutes you used all the way through and do what you were going to with the others and compare results. Just a suggestion.

Those look really nice n full n bushy looks like you got like 5 plants in there i got 20 plants 10 are 20days and others 10 are at like a week from seed and i got 1 bubbas gift at like 5-6 weeks veg and isnt big at all but i top like 3 times n its bushy and i got 4 in flower but good looking plants u got there bro and good luck to ya

Awesome!
I had 2 out of 5 turn out male... I hope you have better luck than me!!!!

Using feminized seeds. Might try regular someday but at the moment happy enough with feminized....

2 weeks since flipped 4 days since pistils appeared. So 4 days into flowering stage it is...
Plants going strong, feeding every 4 days.  light burn?

These lovely ones are looking well. About time to transplant. And I can't tell if that is light burn or nute.

flowering stage starts as soon as you flip.

lots of different takes on this one, i call flowering when she starts to show not when the "Lights" have been changed to flowering period 12/12... and I really dont see what difference it makes on when you call it. Harvest is done according to when the plants are ready not how long they have been flowering.

depends on where you look. i know on the dyna gro feeding chart it goes from veg to flower and the first two weeks of flower keeps the same ppm. if you counted when you wanted to then you would be starving your plants by the time you start count them as flowering. i think it's pretty universal that flowering starts at flip, even if you can't see it above ground, it's doing everything they need to do below the surface

I started to count since I changed to 12/12, but I think the plants began flowering a few days later, not as much as 2 weeks but nearly one week after I kept them for 24 hours in the dark.

i usually see preflowers during veg (because i like to veg for a long time), but then it will start to actually develop "flowers" anywhere between day 7 to day 21 after flip. The C99 pheno i have now is in full flow at 10 days every time, but it also finishes in 51 days.

A plant does a lot of things during the first two weeks of flowering, including anchoring itself more and hardening its branches. That's why nitrogen is so important during the first two weeks of flower (and throughout).

How long do u veg? My first grow I think I done 2 weeks seedling + 10 veg. This one now 2+8 and it's looking better than one before...

2-3 months veg - depends on how bad i fuck it up in the beginning. lol Most strains show pistils and preflowers around 20 days in veg in my experience, let's say 30 days in.
