My little runt of a gal is a couple weeks into flower, and some bud sites are looking bushier than others. What's the story on trimming fan-leaves, to allow them to get more light? I mean, I know the fan-leaves absorb the light in the first place. For photosynthesis and what not, but will...

I finally managed to get a good 'close up' with my crappy digicam. Ha.

Yeah. I'm almost two weeks into flower. My digicam is too crappy to get good macro shots of the preflowers, so I can get some verdicts, but it's starting to look pretty female to me. Not that I'd know from any sort of experience. lol. Oh well. Not like i have any other plants to worry about...

A bit of an update, after some tweaking. And to illustrate just how ghetto my setup is. Ha.

A smallish update, after starting some LST on the lower branches, and adjusting my light's posititioning. Figuring out what to do with those branches lost within the fan leaves on that J-like curve of themain stem is perturbing me. Ha.

LOLOL. Nice.

Ingenious! Shrooms never gave me such useful ideas. I feel gypped, now. haha.

Yeah. I squiggle my finger down into the soil to check, and it's not bone dry down there past the second knuckle (not super moist either, though). After a week, that is. S'why I usually wait a few extra days after a week before I water again. And the coffee grounds thing is a great idea. I'll...

Yeah. I may keep giving the MG soil a go, the next time around (since I still have alot of it left, anyway). And try to get my hands on some pH testers for my 2nd grow. See how much an improvement I can make. That 2nd grow is still a few months away, so we'll see. Ha.

Whatever was/is already in the soil. It's Miracle Grow soil. Heh. I do have some of the MG feeding stuff, to add to water, but I haven't put it to use. Didn't think there'd be much need to, with the nutes in the soil releasing every time I water. (Which is once a week, up to once ever week and a...

No. I have no clue what the pH of either is. I use regular tap water, that I let set out for 24 hours in an open pitcher, before transferring it to a sealed jug. I haven't really gotten all that fancy with stuff. It's health could be improved, no doubt. Still exploring the hue of my green thumb. Ha.

Yeeeeah. I've only been watering it once every week and a half, over the last three or four weeks. The leaf tips are still yellowing, though. And I'm not even using the miracle grow plant food. Just the soil with the water released nutes.

After a week and a half in flower. Whee. Damn miracle grow. Once this little thing gets sexed and either buds out or gets chopped, I'm not going to be as much of a cheapskate with my eventual 2nd attempt.

Mine did the same in about the same amount of time. Only, you know... reaching for the light, instead of the actual sun. Ha. Just checking on it every now and again to keep up with it's growth, it's easy (for me, at least) to forget that this is a living thing. When it moves toward the light in...

This. Totally.

There's a bit of a long story to it, really... Since this was my first grow (There were two more to go along this one that didn't make it. haha). This poor thing started out in garden top soil under a 15 watt 18 inch 'garden light.' This forum helped me learn the error of my ways quickly enough...

Yeeeeah. It does that to me, sometimes. No idea why.

Posted these over in the LST thread, but figured I'd share them here, too. Step one and day one of LSTing complete. Thanks again for spelling it out for me, Jumbo! Heh.

First grow, first LST. Did the tie downs in the mid AM, this is it by the late afternoon. (See below for pics. Dangit.)
