Wow..
So its going to be 10 weeks tomorrow. Time to chop her down. already i can feel the thinner stems to be hollow.
To be honest this is all for personal consumption. As long as it helps me unwind at the end of a long day at the office, i'd say I did good.
From the sample i took last...
Yea those thin long leaves are a dead giveaway. Keep em tied down so you wouldnt have to get stress out when she really pushes upward. But looking good.
What kinda nutes are you using?
Actually The lights are that way because my cabinet is too small. I got these 50w's without measuring stuff. Figured might as well use it for now. I will be getting a single 100W led for the next run.
Is there a chance of fire? My lights on is at night.
Lol i didnt think of that. They might be...
Usually I germinate my seeds using the paper towel method. This way I know for sure if there will be any bad seeds or not.
Once the seeds show their tap root just take it and put it in one of those coco pellets and into some soil. Water lightly and occasionally till she pops up.
So just for comparison sake here are the before and after pix. Before is 17 Jan and after is 29 Jan. The burning leaves are for sure from being so close to the lights.
Edit: BTW the after pic thats 2 main colas not just 1.
T5's for cloning should be fine. I used CFL's and they were good too.
As for the seed thing.... I havent read anything yet that can say if a seed is male or female or inbetween. You'll just have to try it out.
Usually people veg from seed for a month, clip a clone and put it into flowering...
So this is odd. past few weeks my buds have been bang against the led glass panel as I have no more vertical space. last night when lights came back on I noticed the 2 main buds are no longer touching the glass, rather just standing there. I am guessing there is some shrinkage.
Tried googling...
Exactly. Top once, you get 2 heads. cut those 2 you get four, cut those 4 you get 8 and so on... Kinda like the hydra creature. ofc for every topping you'll have to give her a week to recover.
You dont want the bud to get too heavy and then snap the branch, thats why i mentioned supporting her.
Coz buds do get heavy and if unsupported could snap the stem. But it doesnt make a difference to the grow as such.
