Towards the end of veg. Feedback?

What do you guys think of these? It's week 6 of veg.
Any advice, feedback, suggestions... all appreciated.

I've been Fimming pretty much every new growth I see on the plant to the right.
On the plant to the left I'm pretty much just Fimming the very top
Sittin in fox farm ocean forest, 20% perlite, dolomitic lime.
Being fed fox farm grow big.
Under 6 2' t5s
Tiny closet.

I'm thinkin about switching to the hps for 12/12 pretty soon, maybe another 2-3 weeks.

These are blueberry fem seeds

Looking good. Gotta love them t5s, huh?

Are they showing preflowers yet?

I think so, they have these little pistilly things sticking out in some random spots.

I tried grabbing clones off the bottom of the plant on the right. I grabbed off the 5 lowest branches. Some are much larger and thicker stemmed than others. I hope the cloning will work. Will it only work with the thick branched ones?

Am I supposed to do some sort of pruning or anything? Are they branching out enough?

they look really nice

I love how short and stout they are! No signs of stretching for those T5's and it's lookin' nice and bright green.

This is my first grow I'm pretty unsure about what to do

Well, cloning is a good idea! Also topping/FIMing your plant, like you mentioned above, is important for a plant with many branches which results in many top-colas.

Can't wait!

When I fim, it's bout to make everything below it (or is it just the node directly under?) grow out quicker right?
Based on my assumptions I'm thinkin it's best to fim the very top first, then the branches at the second node down, and so on, that way i can give each node time to grow branches real big so that all new growths are at the top. It's prob not too helpful to fim/top every single new growth all at once, is it? It's more of an art of working my way down I believe?

I wouldn't FIM all the tops at once. Seems like that would be nearly over-kill lol.

But I shouldn't limit fimming to the very very top growth only right? Once that one is fimmed and 2nd node branches start growing out and upwards, i should fim their new growths right (like several days later)? Work my way down to get it all up at the top?

Well.. If this gives you any insight to what you want to do with your plant, more power to ya'. My friend has a plant that was a single-stalk plant. Just straight up, with fan leaves coming off the sides. He FIM'd just the tip of it, and it's now growing like a "Y" basically. (Main stem growth)

Looks good so far.

Do I need to stay vegging to see that kind of thing happen?

I would definitely only trim the plant and expect new, big, healthy growth from a plant that's in it's vegetative state. Once you start flowering the plant, it will have a growth spurt and soon enough growth upward will slooooooowwwwwwwwwwww. So yes, trim while you're vegging your plant out for maximum results when you're ready to flower.

nomather what you choose to do .. FIM .. trim ..

do it a week before you switch to 12/12 so the plants is`t to stress when you turn the light ..

also .. turn the light slow .. a hour a day or so .. can also chock a plant to go directly from 18 to 12


I like FIM .. but I only did it once on my plant ..
gave me 4 new tops .. plus the two just under it .. so 6 tops and 6 more side shoots comming up so 12 in all



fist pics is from a week or so after I FIM ... seccon is day 1 of 12/12 .. FIM plant in the black pot on the right (other is LST)



and her is how much they stretch the two fist weeks of 12/12



Im just happy I have a 600W HPS now

How long do I need to flower for to get those milky trichs we all know and love? Is it gonna be uneven? Will I have to chop off some branches of nugs sooner than others? How much yield would you expect with a 400w hps per plant?

Slipon, I like the way those plants are lookin'!

thanks

and bratattack ..

7-10 weeks I belive .. tho if it is pure stavia (witch I doubt you have) it can take longer .. even 16 weeks I been toald .. that why I like Indicas ..

about yild .. well no idea .. but if you have them two plants and flower em for 8 weeks under a 400W HPS and you have tempeture aso spot on I cant see why you schould get 2-4 Oz per plant ..

What yield would I expect from a 600w hps? Also, if I vegged for another 4 weeks, would that cause a bigger yield?
