Do not trim them. They will pull nutrients from the older leaves. You should only trim to give the plant air flow or if they are damaged. The one with nutrient def def don't trim.

thats what i've been thinking to be honest mate. the leaves are the engine rooms of the plant. I don't understand why people trim leaves off when you can just tuck them. oh well each to there own i guess

cheers man im loving them theyre really low maintenance! the oldest one is flowering and is looking glorious! cannot wait for harvest its so close now the last couple of weeks have flown by!

what strains are on the cards for your next grows? Im gonna do a white widow x big bud photo, another NL auto and a blue rhino photo next. gonna invest in a 600w HPS and generally upgrade the grow room before kicking off another grow in may/june time
i'll be growing northern lights autos in the spring and early summer, then switch to Cindy 99s for mid summer and fall.

Week 10..ish

Whats happenin guys. havent been on here in ages cause of work. had to go and do a project at the other end of the country recently so havent had much of a chance to be on here much.

Plants are coming along nicely. I'm actually running out of space in the grow room they've got a bit out of control. In terms of height they're all about 2ft tall at the moment and one of them is bushy as fuck. Its the youngest plant so still has about 3 weeks to run by my estimate. I reckon i'll chop one next weekend to free up space for the other two cause they're right on top of each other at the moment. All 3 are healthy and loving the bio bloom. I could only get a couple of pics cause my memory card's full. I'll have lots of pictures for you all tomorrow when I sort my shit out!

Looking good spliff.

From the look of the bud in the second pick, I'd leave it another two weeks.

Have you got a microscope?

Im going to leave it til the weekend at least and then see how the other two are developing. The problem is that they're smothering each other a bit at the moment and they seem to really need some space.

Got a scope on order, from what i've read its absolutely essential to have one

Those plants need at least two weeks, maybe more. Once the fan leaves on the bottom start yellowing, it is a sign the plant is pulling nutrients to the buds, they will start to swell. From the looks of the pics they are just getting going, they should start to fatten up soon. Just my two cents, peace!

Also, it you added a few more lights the buds will fatten up as well. The one single light hanging down is not allowing maximum bud output, the plants are screaming for more lights. Even just a couple more 42 watt 2700k will help. Just my two cents again, good luck, nice looking plants by the way!!!

hows it going? how much you think you will harvest?
I've already harvested my oldest plant which was about a fortnight older than the other ones and Its curing at the moment, i've taken about 2oz dry off it off the top of my head, Im not sure of the exact figure cause some of its been smoked already. The plant was about 2 1/2 ft tall in the end. The other two are a similar size and Im hoping to get the same amount off of them!
