Hey !
This is my first grow from seed and first grow in my new place but so far so good. I've got 3 females under a 1000watt Hps . I ordered my seeds from www.canadianseedbank.com so they look pretty legit .I started vegging The plants under CFL and then recently threw them underneath my big light (which I still need to get my cool tube for .) I'm thinking of switching them 12/12 in the next week I just want to make sure they're big enough to get a hefty yield . Also going to start Scrog training them they have all Been LST'd

Excellent!! Looks happy and healthy. You could definitely out her in 12/12 and I don't see why you couldn't pull oz's out of it from there... Variables permitting of course. Then again, she looks like she just reached a good maturity. If you continue some LST, get those outer branches pulled down just a bit, and grow her another 2 weeks, I would say you could increase your yield at LEAST 50%. That's just my opinion. WW will bring you some pretty stout yields anyway.. Good job on the grow looks great!

Thanks man! I'm building a screen tonight to help train them some more and get better penetration to every node I can . I'm half thinking just vegging for another week possibly even two who knows I'm in no rush I want to pull some weight I've got patience if need be.

Alright boys I need some advice , I wanna know how much longer I should Veg to yield a h/p or close too I've planted the sprouts on Feb 1st been vegging ever since . I am putting my screen down tonight wa going to last night . There plants are under a 1000watt hps , two in a 5 gallon the other in a 45 gallon

This is my newb opinion and $0.02 from what I see in the pic and the strain based on what I have read. I have not grown WW (yet).

I don't see why you wouldn't clear a h/p total if you flipped right now, maybe wait a week. However that's not what I would do.

Why go through the trouble of throwing a plant in that huge ass pot and not max it out. I would run the two 5 gals together now to flower and keep vegging the plant in the 45 gal pot. Veg the crap out of it (to what point, well that depends on how much height you have to work with), but I cannot see why that plant vegged out in that pot would not go to flower and cover the same are the other two combined would/could, if not more. I think you would end up with a beast of a SCROG run doing that with the big pot and this strain. Just something to consider. You would probably pull a h/p or more out of it that way.

You have the pot for root growth and plant development and the horse power with the light. Just let her rip man!

Yes I know exactly what you mean I'm trying Scrog them as soon as I get off this and actual build a screen haha I mean in reality I wouldn't mind having a tree I just want to wait sure my effort will be plentiful by letting her veg to the max as far as yield = effort/time ratio . I'm feeding them with General Organics grow right now and Bio-Marine . They're on a 18/6 cycle but are all starting to Sex . But I mean bigger Root mass typically results in stronger branches and heavier fruits .Im trying my best to cater to these ladies so I give them the best healthy grow I can .

Agree with Evil on both counts. Let those roots dive in to that 45 gal and reach its potential -

As far as the two in 5 gal - they look great, would easily (again, variables permitting) reach a H/p out of the both combined. But a week or two extra wouldn't hurt

I've only got my bulb hung up right now with temps holding 23 degrees at the canopy , I'm picking up a cool tube on Friday but I did pick up this Charcoal filter the other day she sent the wrong flanges so I made her work pretty excited to see its performance on the cool tube whenever I get into flower . Also I'm a pipe fitter by trade so I made this Sced 40 stainless steel honey oil extractor , just waiting for my stainless plug to come in for The top.

23c is just right.. Prime temperature. You have some room to fluctuate up or down too before you need to have any concern. Nice extractor! Nothing beats handmade quality - if it's quality handmade of course :-D

Keep us posted on the updates!

Just threw in the screen this evening , 4 and a half feet by 2 and a half with 3" gapping on the shorter sides and 3.5" on the longer runs . The screen is set 18" above the soil level and will be vegging like crazy to see how much of this screen I can fill in before I induce flowering . Really interested to see how productive this garden will be by the time to chop , one of the smaller plants the mid size one has 24 colas should be interesting . Any advice or comments are always appreciated !oh btw sorry about the metallic ballist it's not so good for picutres

Looks like you did a good job on it! Clean work. Now it's just simple (don't over complicate) feeding regiment and patience! I have never grown WW, so I don't know how vigorously this strains potential can be during veg. Though, like most weeds, especially cannabis, in the right conditions most will blow your mind giving it two weeks from here - your plants look healthy and ready to grow.

From my experience, LST is, or can be somewhat of an art. You gotta sort of feel it out, without overcomplicating. Here's a couple simple suggestions that I have retained from experience, and many other growers opinions online:

•let the plant grow - don't overcomplicate if it goes in and out of growth spurts. Most plants do. It's funky - but relax.
•watch the leaves for beginning deficiency signs, though very acute discolorations can be normal - remember, this plant is alive and living - it has a mind of its own. You're just trying to mimic it's most ideal environment.
•if height is a possible problem, remember, the plant has potential and likely will grow double in height once flipped to 12/12. So leave an adequate amount of room just around the edges as well as above. I leave about 2"on the outside edges so that once flipped to 12/12, I can continue a couple more weeks of Minor LST. Mostly to just help a few bud sites get more light. Consider it "wiggle room". Though, this technique is not major. Just personal preference.
