Based on items in title is there something more i can be doing to boost growth. Ph at 6.1-6.4. Any ideas would help. I am trying to keep it simple for this one and plants are healthy. Just looking for more tips

[ocgreen]

Plants look nice and healthy. A small oscillating fan to push some air through the canopy would help. Good luck!

can't see it but there is a 16" hurricane on the wall and another on the floor have x and y axis covered blowing 24/7

Keep it clean and give em what they want. Food, light, fresh air, air movement, good temps, good humidity. They'll let you know if something isn't right.

Looking good - room to stretch

[mat6977t]

How long should i keep in veg at this point? any ideas

[Canuck147]

We would like to answer your question - but with the limited information you have given - actually none - it is difficult by just looking at a few pictures.

[mat6977t]

Don't know what information you need still new to this.

[Gluteous]

When to flip depends mainly on the space you have available. They'll stretch for the first 3 weeks or so after you flip. Some strains stretch more than others. Assuming those are sativa and you have at least 6' of vertical I'd say you could veg another 3 weeks. Bigger plants = more bud sites but it's no fun running out of room.

mat6977t are those photos or autos? How old are they?

[mat6977t]

ok all are photo's germinated from 02/27-03/05/2020. First two weeks 24/0 with light 32" above plant and adjusted as growth narrowed gap. The oldest photos were current and made on that day. i have done minor trimming and training. This is my first go around so ive been careful and thorough asking lots of advise and reading everything i think this weekend i might go ahead and flower. just not sure..

[SoOrbudgal]

mat6977t This is where you need to be aware of the size of the strain you grow. If you feel your tent with the light can grow 3 photo plants that could possible reach 30" "possible" give or take on the training. They stretch preflower/flower so being the age they are now I would flip those. Good Luck keep us posted show pics

[mat6977t]

thanks appreciate it. i am actually not growing in a tent. i am using a room/converted garage. lights are adjustable to 8 ft ceiling. I thought about that while planning. lol

[mat6977t]

This is 4 days growth at 50% increase in amount of nutrients added to water.

[SoOrbudgal]

Man oh man lucky you for having a high ceiling good planning :0) way to grow they look great.

[Greenlivin]

If you’re working with 8’ you could probably let those babies go another few weeks!

aug 12 - 18 12-12 growth with iguana bloom, mother earth tea, bud candy all organic

The biggest suggestions I have for any 1st timer is being on top of PH and LST. I learned a lot from my first cpl of grows that these two minor things can have the greatest impact, be it positive or negative.

An improper Ph will “lock-out” vital nutrients from being sucked up the roots, and cause it to display a variety of symptoms.

During early veg you want to start training the girls to make more top sites instead of one main one. You can achieve this two ways- by topping or training. Topping is a much easier method, but LST works wonders too. Combine both of them and you’re going to maximize the plant’s flower production. Be sure to remove all the “larf” sites on lower branches. You want as much of the plants energy directed to the buds who are getting the most light.

Welcome to The Grower’s Club. It’s a fun hobby that sucks you right in. Good luck! Your plants look great btw.

[mat6977t]

Thanks for the tips and welcome. I do PH my water, after nutrient add and after sitting a day. I am running about 6.0 to 6.3 in soil. and yes it sucks you in.

[mat6977t]

All trimmed up for the week. Using different techniques for trimming from "lollie"-popping to just minor trimming. i,m really in more of an experimental mode on this grow. Kind of lets see what happens when i do this. Good times all around though.
