Try vegging with mh bulbs, then flowering with HPS.

Thanks mate, I's this tge cool bulbs? Do they encourage leaf and stem growth? I ess tginking about buying an led any thoughts?

[Toker1]

Yes. Check out quantum board LEDs. You will like that type for sure.

If you dont have one yet look into getting a jewelers loop or digital microscope - 20 bucks on Amazon. When you think it's harvest time wait 10 more day .

Thanks guys for the advice, I'll currently starting flowering now, any advice on flushing for /to flower nutes?

[Toker1]

The only flushing I do is remove nitrogen 2 weeks before harvest. Or unless I screw up feeding/ph.
Any nutes will work fine. I personally use fox farm.

I've currently got Swift Air PK 18/20 with 0 NNitrogen, will this be okay sd the nitrogen is in the soil already? Thanks

[Toker1]

Depends. Most of the time, the plant uses up the nutrients in the soil. But it really depends on what soil you use. You should ask the soil manufacturer what they recommend.

Now that you've done some topping and fimming - time to try some low stress training - just my opinion - I would try gently pulling some of your outer branches down - encouraging them to grow away from the center.
10 or 12 gauge electrical wire is what I use.

edit note - your plant looks great!!

Thanks man, yes im definitely going to try some LST, do you recommend scrog? I dont think ive got a big enough canopy, andthst LST might even be better for my current space? Many thanks again

It is definitely height-challenged. Hopefully you'll get some stretch in the next 3 weeks.

[420BlazeIt]

Hopefully It stretches, but it is a 70% indica strain will upload pics 2 weeks from now, to see if im do in things correctly

Hi guys, 420blazeit quick UPDATE on my plant, i changed to 12/12 on the 21st of December, i saw mature pistils on 28th which im guessing is true flower time, i had an LED phlizon 1200w in my tent, but i think its too intense and starting to yellow my tips on my leafs, so i swapped bsck to my 250w super HPS , however how's my plant looking for 23days since the switch, (16 days since i saw pistils) any help on the yellowing is great, (thoughts on the phlizon 1200w) (this is a budget grow no money making just smoking my own grown bud so please help a brotber .)
