you can use anything to rest the pot on top of, to make your canopy flat. There is no guarantee they will stretch and catch up to the big girl, this way you can manipulate the canopy yourself.

regardless, your plants, you do your thang bro

best of luck

honestly idk wth you mean XD i think we are thinking of 2 totally different things. you mean like tilt the pot over? cause im thinking like you put a piece of wood up against the branch to prop it up. if that is the case yea i don't really have anything handy to do that. wasn't even planning on training either at this point though kind of just letting um go as is just to see what im fucking with when it comes to this strain i got 2 seeds left that i plan to scrog. so this grow basically for me is just to continue to learn the basics and see what i get as a result. next grow i have more space and only running 2 seeds so yea i will be messing around with LST and scrogging the next grow.

i think this one is going to be bigger then my blue widows outside though. i have a lot of space tbh on both ends i just need to move my plastic shelf but i keep it in that position because easier for people to see the pics as i have a small wall blocking it already. can't move my lights either well i can but i don't want to cause i hang em using command hooks that are recommended for like 10lb's the lights weight in at 12lbs " the hooks so it's over kill on the hooks and one has fallen off at least 5 times already.

show me a pic of what you mean? pretty sure we thinking of 2 different things though lmfao

they might all be getting light, to some degree, but your light is always gonna be raised to stay ahead of the big girl, so keeping those 2 smaller girls the same height as the big one will allow them to get the same light intensity that the big girl is getting.

OOOO now i understand what you mean. lmfao i thought you meant like shove a fucking stick under the smaller nodes to raise them XD yea i was planning to do that before guess i forgot about it since i planned to LST to fix the initial problem but didn't. i was hoping the big one wouldn't grow so fast either but looks like i have to. i'll do that tomorrow i got some books i can use laying around or something for sure.

Better or go higher?

Feb 20

Temp- 75.7F RH- 68%

Watering today will just be water since last time i watered then i added another gallon with nutes. plants are back on regular schedule 12/12 last night they got 6 hours of lighting only.

UPDATE- watered 1gal split to all 3. added nutes cause i felt plants could handle it but next one for sure will get little to no nutrients just to kinda flush out the nutrient build up. i fed everything but base nutrients, voodoo juice, and instead of carboload i switched over to bud candy. both are basically carbs not sure exactly what the difference between the 2 are but from my research they only state to use bud candy in flowering where as carboload you can use in veg as well. my next watering will be 2 days from now so friday. only ran my plants for 3 days last time because i gave um 2 gals instead of 1. soil was fairly wet but today top looked bone dry

Feb 21

Temp- 76.1F RH- 68%

pheno 3 is getting pretty stretchy so imma try keep the lights closer maybe longer. today marks day 6 but im counting it as day 7 of flip just to keep in tract with my regular schedule. plants may need to be pruned again tbh but im going to let them go as is. just to see if more lighting indoors will make up for the popcorn side buds i recieved from outdoor harvest yesterday on my blue widows.

going to do some maintenance when i get home from walking the dogs. looks like a few leaves are blocking bud sites got to free um up. just gonna tuck them under

UPDATE- new pic is just a side angle idk why the original one posted like that just so people can see difference more easily. didn't do anything to um yet idk if i even will today pretty damn lazy tbh. if anything i will do it tomorrow since it's water day tomorrow

tucked some leaves under looked like only 2 nodes are really getting shaded badly the rest gets light but i'd have to prune more to really open it up but doubt i will prune again. added 2 new pics of tops and pistils on pheno 2. tops are looking like they want to explode with pistils on all 3 plants and pheno 2 can already see a bunch of pistils shooting out on the nodes. i think my stretch period is close to done already. probably after tomorrow it will slow down drastically

Feb 22

Temp- 77.5F RH-68%

plants are getting taller canopy starting to get really uneven now some kolas are tall others short. more pistils have started to form on the nodes but tops still look the same. week 1 since flip will be done today but i am counting as week 2 day 1. Watering today i will update what i have fed because i might start to feed bloom nutes already to experiment but need to look at NPK ratio's to mess around more then likely it will be half dosage or 1/4th

i am still turning the pots about a 1/4th rotation daily/every other day when i remember hoping the smaller nodes get more light and can catch up in growth but idk if that even will work. at this rate these plants are bigger then my blue widows which i chopped 3 days ago so im expecting to yield more just off 2. blue widows i think i will get 1oz at the most dry weight

UPDATE- watered 1gal split to 3. fed 1/4th strength of everything. rhino skin, big bud, bud candy, sensi bloom A/B, B52, Ancient Earth. 1/2 strength sensizym. no voodoo juice. will be adding nirvana around maybe last watering of this week so on Thursday. will be toying around with the bloom formula though just seeing how the plants are taking the feeding now don't want to over feed um too badly

PH of water was 6.2 Temp- 78F water pretty much baking in the sun thus why it's so high.

Supercrop any unruly tops

Keep the canopy under control while they are stretching.

wouldn't that harm my growth/yield as super cropping is a form of hst? thats a LOT of tops i'd have to super crop as well just to even it out. im probably not going to train anymore there is a theory i want to test out based off my last harvest so if i don't train right now i get a better understanding what the issue is.

theory has something to do with uneven tops as well from the countless indoor vids i've watched so im testing it out. i personally have never seen anyone super crop at this stage usually it is before they flip. i've seen people prune and lst but thats about it.

A lot of growers are supercropping well into flower, many on this site

Up to you whether you want to do it or not.

Just offering you solutions to your issue

Do your thang man, it's your plants

Good luck

it's tempting but can't really say. you'll just have to wait and see. if you know be my now i say 1 thing then the next thing you know i did the total opposite XD i'll do some research today on it gotta research other stuff anyways and if i like what i see imma roll with your advice on this.

UPDATE- yea think imma just skip out on the super crop for now but you right lots of people doing it just never seen people doing it during flowering guess cause when you search "how to super crop" they only tend to show it in veg. if the taller branches start to get any taller i will be super cropping them for sure i think my stretch phase is mostly done though it's been about a week so it should be slowing down considerably now i think... just gonna wait and see day by day how it turns out before i jump and make that decision.

seen a bunch of people let it go uneven still produce nice big buds so im not super worried about it

Feb 23

Temp- 80.1F RH-66%

pots were dry just after 1 day of watering. think it's everything. temps, rh, plants flowering. just gave them 1 gal rain water split 3 ways with a PH of 6.1-6.2. raised the lights yesterday by about 2 inches since they were currently 15-16" from tops. other then that only difference i really see is pistils really starting to shoot out from the nodes and a little from the tops so pretty sure the stretch is mostly over already.

can't upload atm will probably do it tomorrow think site is broken.

Very nice and green mate...

thanks they too green slight nitrogen toxicity but not really bad. you can see the clawing and very slight tip burn. just feeding um almost every watering but super low dosages but i adjust feeding from time to time depending how the plants are looking

that my first actual harvest but 2nd grow. blue widows i harvested 3 days ago so goal is basically to surpass the quality and quantity of those buds. dry weight im guessing imma get 1oz if im lucky knowing me probably like half an oz.

Feb 24

Temp- 76.9F RH- 64%

Tops getting more furry and soil is getting dry a LOT quicker at this rate i need to water daily. the soil looks moist but when i touch it feels like soil you get out of a fresh bag. moist but still needs to be watered. Today i will be feeding 1gal split. all bloom nutes probably at half strength and then alternate from feeding to straight water and stick to a 1 day watering schedule.

i do not see much stretching going on as well gonna try push nutrients to try and experiment for bigger nugs this grow and more stacked kola's but we'll see

UPDATE- 1gal water split feed, fed everything bloom nutes at full strength. only fed Sensi Bloom A at half dosage. fed rhino skin. forgot to feed ancient earth i am pretty sure but everything for sure. no voodoo juice at this point.

just what im trying to go from. that is my blue widows from outside i harvested. still really wet. hopefully i can double that with this grow i'd be happy with just getting that plus half tbh.

Feb 24

did a HEAVY defoliation probably fucked up because i did it so late but currently in early week 2 since flip. from all the videos i've been watching of this technique many do it before flip or during week 1 of flip. then it basically just grows back a little.

left most fan leaves on compared to what the video's show just in case. hopefully they bounce back. i just removed fan leaves and 2 actual nodes both of which were very scraggly and with my experience they never seem to make it to the top or produce anything worth keeping them on so i removed.

just gonna see how this turns out if i like what i see then try it again if not stick to the basics. apparently some growers defoliate in week 3 and 6 so i think i might be okay then again im sure they know what they are doing compared to me

Feb 25

Temp- 77.5F RH- 65%

plants dont really seem phased by the pruning i did yesterday still kinda look the same except for the tops which kinda look like more pisitls coming out. pots are semi moist meaning they are still moist but by the time i get home from work i'd need to water then for sure. gonna water when i get home though got to leave for work in a few minutes and im sick

UPDATE- watered 1gal split did not PH water. figured if i watered now they have at least 11 hours to work through it while lights are on. tomorrow i will be feeding but dropping dosages to 1/4th strength on everything.

Feb 25

trying something new. came home today felt the bottom of the pots because of soil compression the sides have a gap i can fit my hand in and the bottom is fairly dry almost close to bone dry. idk if it's because im watering very little or they just drinking more so what i plan to do starting today going to water 2gals per day. 1gal in the morning, 1gal in the afternoon when i get home from work or before work if i work at night.

just checked further deep yea it feels bone dry probably will need to run 2 gals water per day or 1gal per plant a day from now on.

Feb 26

Temp- 74.8F RH- 69%

plants are looking better today imo some of the nodes are growing i think the leaves look bigger imo. yesterday i watered 3gals split amongst all 3 plants so basically each plant got around 1gal no run off. i watered 2gal just water and 1gal feed. won't be watering today

in a few days all those leaves you removed will be filled back in with new growth, i think they look good man

yea it looks like it. i can see at some parts just from yesterday they grew. when they grow back im not pruning them again though that is IF they grow back. they should but idk just gonna wait and see what happens. i think pheno 3 didn't need to be pruned it wasn't as bushy but the other 2 needed some sort of pruning for sure. think i need to start training and pruning more often.
