First Time Grower - overcoming mistakes

All right Cool.
That's what I needed to know. Is as it matures I can keep it 12" from the light. But yeah that's good because I have the flower stand they are on now on two 3" bricks. So it makes it 6" taller. And I can probably do about 3 more bricks.
Yes next time I will buy some auto seeds, they have a seed store here.
Thanks for answering my question. "Bluey"
 
Get some ratchet straps so you can easily adjust the height of your light. Your plants are still growing taller and with minimal light they tend to grow taller than ideal.
 
Yeah I have something setup now where I can raise the light if needed.
But darn I didn't know they grow taller with minimal light.
If I would knew all this is have bigger light or flipped them a lot earlier and bee LST training and top them. But I didn't know any of this when I first started, like a month and half ago.
And I have them on shoe box and a book for extra height I can always take away whichll give me about 8" .
But yeah thanks for all the information everyone has given me here.
I learned a lot and know what to read now to know more.
 
On Left Cinderella 99 and right indica Hollywood.
But I can always raise the flower stand a good foot or two if needed, and the plants are on shoe boxes and books right now. So I can adjust a lot when time comes....Other then that how much do y'all think I'll get? And how much bigger will they both become?

You could lollipop them now and flip them to 12-12 in a couple of days. Hard to tell final yield, but my motto is set a low amount in your mind and then if you get over that it's a bonus haha
To even get your girls this far on your first grow is a credit to you mate, practice makes perfect. Keep up the good work 👍🏾
 
Yeah I'm going to expect a ounce and half Tops on each of them. Maybe a little more on 1 then the other., I have no idea right now, since Yes this my first time
And Thanks yeah I'm surprised I got em this far.
But yeah I'm expecting them to double they size now in next 7 weeks.
So yeah I'm hoping this 100Watt light will work . Idk well see. And I'll let Vivosun how they product works lol.
But anyways Yes I'm happy with what I have so far. My Cinderella 99 flower is doing much bigger probably because I have her in a way bigger pot. So other than that. Yeah I'm waiting another 7 weeks and then they'll be done. And they will be done on exactly my birthday which is kinda funny. Exactly 55 days in flower on July 5th. So that I think is really really Cool.
 
Sorry mate I didn't see that you were already in flower. Personally I'd be stripping the bottom quarter of each plant for a start, I don't think that light will penetrate very much and anything under the top couple of laterals will be draining energy from the heads. Up to you though, this is where growing is fun, experimenting, trial and error.
If you have access to a first aid kit see if it has one of those reflective heat retaining sheet thing's in it and you could pin that to your roof and hang it down one of those open sides of your grow area so it reflects the light back in towards plant...
Hope that makes sense, other wise you can get them sheets off eBay or Amazon for peanuts, mylar

Click to expand...

What you want to do is move any fan leaves that are blocking light to the flower sites. You can snip them off if you feel you have an abundance of leaf material or you can just tuck them out of the way.

This chart might help you better position your light as far as having an idea of how much light energy you are giving them. I would suggest that you download a light meter app on your phone so that you at least can approximate the light energy raining down on your plants. If you have an android phone then I recommend Tent Buddy. Iphone I would go with Photone.

Okay and yes I been tucking the big leaves that are blocking the white flowers that are growing.
So I can snip them the big Ones blocking them light to the main bud?
Okay tomorrow when I uncover them, I will check out each big fan leaf that is blocking the small buds that are forming.
So instead of just tucking a couple like two, I can cut or trim at least probably up to 8 or 10 leaves tomorrow...?
And I have Android phone so I'll download tent buddy. And check that out.!
 
I'd be cutting everything off under those lines right back to the stem.. hopefully that will help the next branches up to grow out and up closer to the top of the plant. I wouldn't be taking any leaves off yours they look pretty sparse already and will still them. If or when they start yellowing then pinch them off...

Are you serious?
Cutting them that low ?
I can do that tomorrow morning or noon.
Seriously?
And it will all grow back? They are in flowering stage right now.!
So I should cut them where you free the line in the picture??
Because I can do that if they will grow back. And would make easier for flowering for me if they do grow back. I have no idea...
So please lmk .
 
Na na don't cut the top off at the line I mean cut the branches/growth off that are under that line so it looks more like "lollipop" stick at the bottom growth on the top....
 
Oooh I get it.
So I should just cut off all the branches the growth under those lines
Basically the short branches and leaves that aren't getting that much light.
Just cut back to the bottom of the stem under the line you made. So like I get it.
 
Haha same, IF they were still vege you would cut the top bit off, you could even cut them in half and then tie down the remaining branches then you would end up with at least 2 times as many "exposed to the light" bud sites as what you are going to end up with these.... Practice makes perfect.
