My First Grow with cfl's

[Wretched420]

are you gonna top them or anything??

 

[Dr.Chronic]

Nah if anything ill LST them or FIM the smaller one. I don't want to chop nothing off really.

 

[misshestermoffitt]

I FIMed Sadie and she's looking like she's going to have 3 main colas. Well if she shows to be a girl that is.

 

[sllik]

[Dr.Chronic]

[Dr.Chronic]

[alka]

[Dr.Chronic]

Yeah im vegging for 4 more days and then im switching to 12/12.

 

[Dr.Chronic]

Idk i mite vegitate for another week. Depends on how big they look on sunday. Im not trying to jew my yield but i dont wan't them too big at the same time. We'll See.

 

[alka]

sweet, thats around the size i flower mine at too, i pull em over about a week into flower once they stretch a couple inches.

 

[Dr.Chronic]

Awsome, I figure mine will grow quite a bit once their under 12/12.

 

[Cannibal Sativa]

hey when fimming do cut the new growth or actually pinch it off with fingers? plants are looking great chronic.

 

[Dr.Chronic]

Topping is cutting off the middle growth and Fim'ing is pinching it off with your fingers.

 

[Dr.Chronic]

Well lights out till 6 for now, i can't wait to see how much my babies grow in the darkness.

 

[misshestermoffitt]

Topping is where you take off the whole piece of new growth and it'll start 2 new growth shoots.

Fim (stands for "fuck I missed") is where you top, but don't take the whole new growth, you leave just a little tad. It should still grow from the little tad and make 2 new growth shoots, totalling 3 main tops.

I FIMed one plant, the leaves that I cut (with fingernail clippers) look retarded because they're chopped off, but it's growing from there and the 2 new shoots it made, plus it branched beside them. This plant had better show as female, it's starting to look like it's going to have 5 main colas !

Yeah the one on the left looks about an inch or so taller... but they look beautiful I cant wait to see what happens with your grow. they look like they are loving their environment and thats always the best part because they show you love back. I would definetly say 18/6 photoperiod. Because when then lights are out they rest and are searching for the light so when the light comes back on they think ' oh i gotta get the light before it goes away' and thats how you see the stretch.
