Nice pictures......

Will give you a shout when I am thinking of doing it,I am thinking of doing the white widow and the HIppie killer wasn't wanting to do thy hippie killer was wanting to see that not touched.....
Na I will do the Big Bang and the white widow and just leave the other 2 want to see them without doing anything...

See when you count nodes mate, do the baby leaves count as one ....?

in simple terms mate if u want 2 tops, let 2 lots of side branches start to grow take the bottom set off and let the top ones grow, if u want 4 main colas let 3 lots of side branches grow and do the same thing, like i said b4 its a piece of piss mate, and u will see at least double ur normal yield i can assure u. i started it 2 grows ago and the 1st time i got 8 oz from 4 plants altogether vegged for 3 weeks, last time i got 6 males out of 6 plants (that was 1 of them in my last pics they were vegged 6 weeks), but my 6 that i go just n have all been topped for 4 main colas, the exo clone i got gonna have 20+ tops when i eventually flower her, will be a proper bush

Ho ho ho, I could be doing it to them all reading that

Thats some return for veg time and only 4 plants thats what I would like

Cheers for the advice buddy

Was reading through the thread and your plants look really great! Hope you keep it updated for re-vegging after the harvest cause I'm very curious as to how it goes- and thanks for posting that Re-vegging After Harvest link, very useful!

Cheers Mmj,

I edited a earlier post and put that Info I got from your journal in mine {Super bit of info}....

Yes, I am gonna do a wee bit about the re-veg hope it's not a disaster lol but I am pretty sure I can do it

Cheers

Right well bloody freezing here, Was battling the heat up there in the summer now I've got a fight against the cold...?
went up and checked my Thermometer and it's reading 13Celsius......
So I am going to take that bar heater back and get the bigger size hopefully that should warm it up more....

I thought they were taking a bit longer to flower, I read that if its below 20c can stunt growth.......

To be continued.....

Stevieh! Didn't see you had a grow journal going until now. Looking good

I saw you went to 18/6, y not just veg 24/7? I've heard mixed opinions on this and don't have claim of own as to which "right", but just curious to know what think about it?

My Babies have been under 24hr light constant since they sprouted, bought a cheap timer today so I can change them to 18/6 tonight, hopefully will slow down grow as I am waiting on my flowering room to be ready and save on electricity.

Since they sprouted just been using tap water left for 24hrs to let the Chlorine evaporate and ph test at 6.0, be a bout another week before I use nutes.

Pictures : The light bulbs I am using (4 of) just until my Hps light is freed up.

Hi canna, and welcome to my Journal ...

yeah I would use 24hr lights on from seeds again and change again the same way, I think they need a bit of dark time plus saves the light being on constant, but hey thats just my opinion ....

dark cycles are also important for storing carbs

Got the heater changed....

Now I am going to need to keep a eye on it all day incase it gets to hot in which case I am going to need to use it on a timer ....
The joys of climbing a step ladder and jumping in to a loft a dozen times, but hey it's gonna be worth it to get this right

I went with 2 sizes up from the old Heater £25, hopefully this works .......

started training the branches on my topped girls 2day mate heres a pic for reference so u get an idea what to do when the time comes, i have topped for 4 main colas

View attachment 2902193

Alright Gary, looking good mate ......

Right decided that I want to have four colas on two that are way ahead on growth and two colas on the ones that are smaller....

Could do with your advise, if you think I could start the four cola ones now .....?

might as well put a update on and you can see, the first too are the ones I am thinking of doing, what do you think?

Cheers ...

they all look a little small mate i would give them at least another week b4 topping them, u dont wanna remove anything when their as small as that they need all the green they can to grow bigger, how many days from seed are they again? i thought u said they were around the 3 week mark same as mine but urs look a good bit smaller than mine, what light u using?

Day:17

Aye mate thats 2 weeks 3 days since germination......

I was gonna put this in as I got it wrong from the start they are with 3 x 35w Cfls & 1 19w so about 8015 lumens .....

Thats that heater been up there a hour and it's changed only 3c.
I put Insulation on top and side of the tent to try keep the warm in ......

Thanks for the advice - My Last grows I was just using fim and super cropping and not training them and they didn't look great, I like that way you are doing it, loads better, looks professional ......

Heres my first ever grow and when I joined this site, for those interested, you can see what I mean with the super cropping and not training ......

yeah im only on day 21 from germ,

if u want my advice m8, id ditch the cfls and use ur 400 hps for vegging the cfls will take much much longer to get to a decent size plant, my 6 are under a 400w dual spec hps for veg and as u can see the difference in size between our 2 grows is almost dbl. use the 400 to veg and flower or even get a 600 for flowering time, will also help with ur temps as the hps is warmer than cfls, if u do this i garantee u will see a big difference in ur plants within a cpl days

Ano mate but I've only limited space in my cupboard and my flowering plants are using the 400....

I could take them up at night when it comes on for 5 hours .....
Suppose I could alter the cupboard ...
