Hey again folks!
Just a quick update from me.
I trimmed the little girl some today. Maybe too much? And tied her down a little to spread out the "crown", and maybe force through some growth and even more tops.
But I have a question; how low do you think I should trim away the lower growth? Should I take more, or is it enough as it is? I need to figure it out before I switch her over to flower, because after that one should not do any heavy trimming.
So here's some pictures for you.
The finished product after the trimming.
And here you can see the lower parts of the plant and how high I've gone this time, and this is were I'm curious to how much more I should take, or if it is enough?
I don't want to "waste" too much energy on popcorn buds when the end result is due. She might stretch 300% after all.
Here's the lower growth a little closer up. Looks promising, but I'm afraid it will get shadowed and never develop enough until harvest, and I can't split it up. I need to take it all in one harvest, two tops (divided over 48 hours tops).
Here you can see all the tiny sprouts which hopefully will grow a lot the next few days and maybe reach the others, so that I can spread the "roof" out in a nice "bed" with my SCROG-net after I put her into flower.
Other than that her color looks good and healthy. I believe she has overcome the last "hiccup" with the sour soil and really turning the tide here.
I can only imagine the buds I'll grow, really going strong with the correct nutrients and all the love I can muster.
Hope you're all having a good day and enjoying this time before the holidays.
Much love
Peace!

Absolutely perfect. I agree with furley, when you don’t know how a plant will stretch (grown it before) is best to wait two or three weeks into flower so you know exactly what branch or growtip won’t produce or reach the light.

Was gonna say the same!
Looks ready to flip, to me! You can still do a little pruning in a few weeks, to, if ya want. I forget what week of flower Nebula says you can do your second Defol, but I know she mentions it in the tutorial.
Lookin great!

She recommends the Miami mango style defoliation, lollipoping at flip and defoliating at day 21

Yes, she's ready to be flipped into 12/12, but I'll wait a little more. Want to have everything in order before I do that. With the pH acting up earlier and all that. But soon. In the end of this week I guess.
And thanks guys! I'll hold back on the defoliation for now then. Don't want to hurt the yield by chipping away too much. I've been reading the CFL topping guide, and made my own twist on it to fit my schedule and grow space. I'll use a SCROG-net from day one of flowering, manipulating the colas around to create a even and flat "roof", without having to cut too much.
I'll also start giving her more Molasses I think. I believe she likes it. How much is too much Molasses do you believe? I've been going easy until now. 1 teaspoon pr liter. And I believe the GHE Organics nutrients are Molasses based like BioBizz. They sure smell and look the same, so it might be enough what I'm giving her now?
Stay tuned for more updates. We're soon entering the stage which is the most exciting!
How do you guys stand regarding total darkness the last few days before harvest? I've heard good things, so I might try it.

A teaspoon per liter sounds about right. If you need to conserve molasses, you can wait till she starts making Buds, if not, go on ahead, in my mind, and experiences, it won't hurt anything, only help. I can't say I am able to give an opinion on darkness before harvest, I personally have not tried it yet.

For all the reading and video I have gone through, they are talking 1 teaspoon per gallon or 4 liters. It’s easy to use a heaping teaspoon, the molasses is pretty thick. I also use it in a small amount of warm water first to dissolve it and then add the colder water to temperature. The first time I’d mixed some up and used it after stirring it up really well, there was a small circle of molasses in the middle of the 5 gallon pail the was not mixed it.

Hello everybody!
I hope you're all having a great December and that you're all deeply invested in the holiday preparations.
It has been a busy week for me, so I've not been able to come on here and post updates as frequently as I would've liked to.
But I did take pictures, again, so you'll all be properly caught up by the end of this post.
Last time I updated this thread I'd just trimmed away some growth to make room for newer growth and to increase airflow around the stem etc.
Since then I've switched her over to flower (12/12), fed her and trimmed her some more (last time I believe).
I guess I don't want to do any more trimming after this point, so I'll just be training her with some light LST and the SCROG-net.
I can't say there has been a lot of changes in the tent since last time, but there's stuff happening.
Not much stretching yet, and I kind of find that a little curious since she's in week one of flowering, but maybe she'll start stretching next week.
Here's some pictures from November 30, a few days after I switched her to flower.
As you can see, she has filled out a little more and is starting to look normal again (she was kind of scrawny looking after that trimming).
The color looks a little light in the pictures, but that is because of the CFL.
You can't really tell from the pictures here, but some of the tips are lightly green/yellow, so I think I'll give her less nutrients next feeding.
Because I believe I might have given too much, ergo the light tips.
I also took a few pictures today after I fed her.
It's kind of a struggle with this SCROG-net. I've forgotten how much of a hassle it was to feed while using this net.
Because I like to move the plant about when I'm feeding. Making sure every spot gets a little moist.
And I also feel it's easier to drain the runoff if you can lift the pot up and pour the water into a bucket.
So later on when she's stretched more into the net and flowers are shaping up, I'll have to get my ladle later on to get rid of the excess runoff.
So today I fed her, measured runoff (came out at 6.5 - 7-0 pH, which is good), and trimmed her for the last time to make room for some of the lower growth.
I'm trying to not have her develop too much "popcorn buds", so I'm trying to tie the larger tops down so that the smaller ones can develop and get larger.
Here's the little lady today. Looks a little droopy, but that is just because I just fed her. She always perks up during the first day, and looks happy again the next morning.
As you can see she is still getting used to the net, and I'm hoping she'll fill it out nicely over the holidays.
Here you can see how she looks from below. There's still some growth, but I think I'll just leave it since most of it has stretched quite a lot the last week, and hopefully most of it will reach the light now after I trimmed away some and tied the tops down.
And here's some closeups of the soon to be buds section of the plant. I'm hoping for a lot more of these until harvest, and my guess is that I'll see a 50-100% increase in tops like this until then.
If my training (LST) and use of the net works as well as last time.
That's all from me this week. I'll be on here during the weekend to chat we you guys.
Hope you liked this latest update, and that the content is to your satisfaction.
Have a nice day and take care!
Peace

Hello everyone! Sorry again for not being as active as I've promised several times, but there's just so much stuff to do for this years Christmas holiday.
So I've been busy every single day, and when I've had some time of I haven't spent it on here.
But I'm here with another update, and I have some bad news. Recent development have made me a little worried for my little girl here.
She's been developing some lighter colors, and some of the leaves have turned yellow, and some have developed a darker red color between the veins.
And a few days ago when I fed her, I saw these tiny white bugs in the run off. So I'm kind of worried the has been affected with some kind of nasty pest or something.
I'll walk you through it with pictures.
Here are some pictures from the 14th of December.
She's looking fine. Good color and doing well. A little droopy because I waited a little long before feeding her, so she started to droop a little.
And here are some pictures from the 19th of December. She's showing a few symptoms here, but I wasn't worried until I saw the bugs in the run off.
As you can see she's turning yellow here and there, but I figured she needed more nutrients. This far I had only been feeding her 1 ml pr liter of water (1 ml pr 0.26 gallon) which isn't a lot. So with this feeding I gave her 1,5 ml pr liter (1,5 ml pr 0.26 gallon).
I also noticed these tiny white bugs in the run off, but I didn't manage to get a good picture of them. What I did was to add some Neem oil to the feeding water hoping that the oil would kill them if they were chewing on my girls roots.
I don't know what they are, but I sure don't want them since I've never seen these before and my guess is that I don't really need them to grow my weed.
And here are some pictures from today. I decided to feed her again today since I'm spending Christmas back home with the rest of my family, so I'll be away for 2-3 days, and I didn't want her to starve while I were gone. Plus she's been looking worse and worse, and I wanted to make sure she had all the nutrients she needs. The feeding chart (which I don't use, I only look at it for reference) says 10 ml pr gallon of water, which is far more than I've been giving this one (1 US gallon = 3.8 liters). So I figured why not. Plus I wanted to see if the bugs were still there.
This next picture here don't really show the red color, but the middle fan leaf has some red/orange color developing between the veins on the middle of the leaf.
So here's the last week or so in pictures. I don't really have any more, and I'm not sure what is going on. My thought was to give her the 2-3 days I'm away, and if she still looks kind of bad when I get back I'll wait a few more days to let her dry up again and maybe feed her pure pH'ed water just to see if there nutrient lockout, but I find it hard to believe this is caused by nutrient lock out. I'm giving her organic nutrients. It's really hard to feed to much organic nutrients, and really hard since I've been kind of cheap on the nutes because I wante her to show signs before I started pouring.
So what do you guys think? What's causing my girl to turn yellow, and what are these bugs? She has been doing so great this whole time, and in just a few days everything is going to shit.
Anyways. Take care everyone! Hope some of you have some good advice for me. Happy holidays!
Peace!
