big sativa bent tonight as you can see lightly cropped not flowering yet but any day now.

With some issues here and there things look pretty darn good. No screen just some topping at various nodes. Some lower lollypopping and mainly trained lower growth for extra colas. I'm thinking it's successful so far. I'm 4 weeks out. Won't be taking real photos till they get a lot closer. The buds are getting really nice. Hard to see size but healthy and flourishing

critique? Thoughts comments or suggestions?

thanks. Patience is really big right now. I know some will be earlier than others meaning shuffling those pots around will be a challenge. Oh well haha
 
They look gorgeous, and developing very nicely! The buds look so pretty under the LEDs! They're a good size for 4 weeks!

Sativas can be hard to get into flowering. They can't get any light leaks during their dark period! If it doesn't start making flowers after being on a 12/12 schedule for a few weeks, you might consider switching to a 11/13 schedule (11 hours light, 13 hours darkness) to force it into flowering. Longer nights get plants to develop faster in the flowering stage, and sometimes Sativa plants (which originated around the equator) need an extra push. You might be able to go back to 12/12 once it actually gets going, so your other plants don't get sped up, too. Or you could finish them all on 11/13! Anyways, just an idea if that Sativa is stubborn and refuses to make flowers on a regular 12/12 schedule :)

In any case, your plants look impressive! Beautiful training!
 
Given that sativas and indicas grow differently, is it wise to not mix the two in same grow? Just thinking it may make it easier for grower like me.

I have a bunch more seeds coming too. Once they come I need to sit down and sort my seeds by type and also by estimated height. Try to keep things consistent and simple in the grow tent.

It can be challenging. Unless you're growing a pure (or close to pure) indica or sativa, it is definitely doable. I have that lemon headband in my grow right now that I had to top twice as much as the others to keep her from stretching too much.

Even if you have variable heights you can always put a shorter plant on a milk crate or something else to maintain your canopy.

I think you're certainly up for the challenge Insomniac.
 
Recovery within 10 hours. Didn't tie just crushed and bent. That should give some weight to the tops a little They look good this morning just the main cola was still bent over and had some stress at the bend so i precaution taped her. These plants are hearty.

All tops are repointint up. Some still with bends

WOW Chemichael! Great images of your work. I've never had the courage to mash & bend - this IS so interesting. Totally impressed!
 
Chef, there's going to be some mighty fine edibles coming from these babies! 🍪🍰🍭🍮 Nice job! 😊
 
Bent some more. Things looking good in the flower area. Scared about how big the golden tiger gets unless I keep those tops cropped

Dangnabbit. I want to start a grow so badly. Not going to happen till Feb or March though. I am now living vicariously through all you that are currently growing. If you feel a gurgling in your tummy or an unfamiliar voice in your head, its just me.
 
In hindsight I wish she was a bean and I did more research. Free seed so no biggy however it's super long and stretchy I'm afraid she's getting too big so i bent them over. One cola is split from my bend yet she's thriving like silly

She's also going on week 4 of flower. She's throwing her pistils now. Slowly but I see them. I hope the bend will source her energy allowing heal time and no stretch (hoping)

Lastly. 3 weeks into flowering bad idea to top? I never considered it based on current stage. Can it still be done?
