Hey, manifolders, do I need to trim these somehow....out of the pot

[Cronk]

I don't know why I'm compelled to do this, probably unnecessary but I feel better about it anyway. These are 14 and 16" hoops I think the main stem growth can be kept in control this way, at least train the bottom of the branches to maintain a structure and then let me tie the branches evenly around and upward. I'm spreading them out some and raising the LEC. When the branches set into this form a bit I'll defol again

That Seedsman Jack "Herrer" is on it's own I guess

Your doing a great job, Cronk , just try to keep em even, and you'll have some big ole fat buds filling that up fore long.

 

[Cronk]

mmm, big fat buds. I like that. maybe even a few boom buds

 

[BlueBudz]

Cronk Your plants look great, I’m playing with a couple but think I over topped the one. What do u think? Some of the growth is just not as strong.

 

[Cronk]

Those are nice. That's the shape I was going for, more contained toward the center and uniform. Nice job. What age were they when you did this? what age now?

I waited too long. I'm no expert but it looks like you took the third node off the one branch?

Dude is your light still 27" above canopy?......I grow with a 315w and 18"-20" is the furthest away I have minehappy growing

 

[Cronk]

Vapo, It's at just above 20 right now. I move it down and then second guess it, then move it up again. I'm not sure what to do. I had some burned leaves a little while back and thought it may be the light, then I thought that if it was low it wouldn't spread to the edges of the tent. I almost got out of bed last night to move it again.

Hey, I’m not sure how old they are or what exactly I did. I started a lot of different seeds at different times. Just trying to get my environment figured out. These are at least 8weeks old maybe 10. Had a bunch of problems at first, overwatering and lockout due to PH, cold low humidity etc...

 

[Cronk]

was your lockout from nute buildup? how did you flush? how do you maintain now?

They look good now, congrats on the save. I've done 2 feedings in a row with 1/2 strength and I wonder if I should flush next time. reading up on the various methods

 

[BlueBudz]

No it was due to ph. I was trying for 7ph sometimes being even higher. I was misinformed so I was aiming for this number while overwatering lol I feed according to the label now might actually increase that next time because the one is looking light coloured. I’m very new at all this so every day is school for me!

 

[Cronk]

new here too, walking a thin line

you're in soil? no flushing for you?

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Hey Cronk, I don't know about most people, but I ain't gonna flush if they growing good. I'm sure Nebula has got some great information in some of her tutorials.

 

[BlueBudz]

I’m in pro-mix bx which is a soulless mix of different things. I don’t generally check runoff but anytime I do it’s within .5ph of what’s going in. I haven’t been doing this long enough to say what I “usually” but if they are nice and dry and I’m giving just water I try to give lots to just sort of maintain decent levels. That’s my thinking.. it seemed like the more I cared and worried about stuff the worse it got. Just leave them till they are really dry before watering and keep as close to the light as possible for me is working

 

[Cronk]

DAAS, you would only flush of you saw burn, and to correct that?

 

[BlueBudz]

I think the need to flush (outside having a problem) will be minimal if you plain water to runoff between feedings.

 

[Green75]

It's good to do a flush/stripper every three feedings.. Helps gets rid of any salt build up.. excess salt is bad when it comes to nutrient uptake.. I use this through whole grow.. For the harvest strip I use every day for a week.. #smoothsmoke

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Like I said your gonna get alot of different ways people do it, a little tip burn ain't no reason to flush, if all is going good and you got a good grower why flush an take a chance of slowing her down, when you ain't got to, you can flush at the end like everyone does, I'm just saying I ain't flushing unless something's bad wrong.an I hope it ain't nothing that bad. Your gonna hear a thousand different ways.
