First Timer needs help

[MrGreen23]

I'll check the temp on the other side tomorrow...lights are out now. I'll let you know.

If you're not going to top your plants, now would be a great time to start LST. Your plants are the perfect size for that.

[MrGreen23]

I can do the LST...not sure how to top. Thermometer says 88 with the tent open, but it doesn't feel like it.

[kingfish]

if you're spooked about topping, just LST. once you get confident, then top the next grow. try and get your temp down some more. Try to keep it below 85

Hi MrGreen

Show us the portfolio LOL

[MrGreen23]

Thanks for the video! All plants are topped (yay)! I put a pot of water in the tent until I can grab a humidifier. RH is down to 21%. I'm wondering how I can LST with fabric pots. Don't I need to tape the plants to a side of the pot?

I wanted to ask about your username MrGreen23, is that for Draymon??

Those little paper clips with the spring you pinch together work great, and I use wire from CAT5 or 6 data cable is you have any around. They are perfect for LST.

[MrGreen23]

Ok so my first attempt at LST is done...what you guys think? Thanks Sonny...I had plenty of data cables laying around. I plan on getting the humidifier today. So thanks to you, my knowledgeable friends, my babies are topped and LSTed and moving right along! I'm so hyped! Thank you all!

[MrGreen23]

And no Sonny...it has nothing to do with Dr. Ballbreaker lol! It's more of a toker reference. I'm a Sixers fan (no laughing please).

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the tips. I took all the good advice, so this is what they look like now. I held off on feeding until Sunday night. I pHed it down to 6.5 with lemon juice. The pH coming out was high at 7.5. That is the last grow feeding because I want to start flowering next week. The bag seed looks like it's ready, but I want the others to grow just a touch more. I topped them last Friday and they are growing back nicely. They were also LSTed for about 5 days. I know I need to flush them, so would that be today or tomorrow if I want to start flowering on Monday? I have a stronger fan on order...should be here by Friday. I have a hose running from outside to provide more passive air. Once I get the new fan, I will run the hose to the weaker fan (65 cfm) to bring in fresh cool air to bring down the temp. I have the tent open, but the temp is still hovering around 82-84. I got a small humidifier but it was too small. I'm going to get a 1.5 gallon today. Do I need this for flowering? Not really sure. I'm really am enjoying this journey and I appreciate all the great input from you guys! So how am I doing? This is now Day 33.

[kingfish]

He's back. We missed you Mrgreen. You plants have recover beautifully from the last pictures you showed. Keep it up. and again. WELCOME BACK!!!!!

[kingfish]

I wouldn't flush. Just keep them in the veg state a little longer. But if you want to start flowering just start feeding it flowering nutes. Keep it at half strength. Water the next two times then Nutes. Then water, then nutes etc.

[MrGreen23]

I was gonna start flowering on Monday to let them get a little bigger. I've read other posts saying feed, feed, water. So you're saying it's feed, water, water or just the first time? Sorry if that sounds confusing.

[kingfish]

I know Mrgreen, it does get confusing. Look at it tis way. Double watering is not going to hurt anything but double feeding could start making the tips of your plants turn yellow especially if you use full nutes. The info I give here is all stuff that I personally do with my plants.

[Minnesotabrandon]

here is two of the 4 that im growing they look good so far and getting bushy after some training keep up the good work

[MrGreen23]

They look very nice Minn! What strains are they?

[kingfish]

If you gonna LST, now would be the time to start. Perfect size for that now.

[MrGreen23]

Can they stay bent through flowering?

[kingfish]

Yes they can. But the whole idea for bending is to force her to put out more nodes. By the time they go into flower, the nodes should already be developed.

[MrGreen23]

Understood. I actually did LST last Friday and kept them bent for 5 days. I definitely have extra nodes on all. I was just curious as to them being bent during flowering. I also fimmed them the same day and the tops are popping!

[Minnesotabrandon]

They are white widow

[MrGreen23]

Nice! I have a White Thunder growing (pic#3).

[berrypilot]

They look really really nice!!!! ✨ Master grower!!! 🌱 I remember when I fimmed my plant the top leaves looked just like yours when they grew in!!!!! ✨

[MrGreen23]

Thanks Berry...let's grow ourselves happy!
