Hello-
This is my third grow, all three grows were Aurora Indica. First two used galaxyhydro 270w LED in 3 gallon smart pots, got about 4 oz total from two plants.This time moved up to roleadro 400w (not second generation) and 5 gallon smart pots. All three times I used organic super soil from a local store that makes it and used slight levels of general hydroponic organic nutes. I kept the light 14 inches away (see pic about 2.5 weeks before harvest) since early veg. I topped and did some bending/tying. For tying, I used pipe cleaners but did not wrap around to prevent cutting into stems. Did some defoliation throughout. The pic you see is of the earliest harvested plant. Her sister was cut two days later. Her sister also stretched a bit more between nodes throughout despite same conditions as this girl. Both were vegged for 31 days and the one in the pic flowered for 57 days and her sister was 59 to get the 30ish percent amber trichs I like. Both plants yielded about 2.5 oz each for a one ounce total yield increase between the light and pot size upgrades. Oh yeah, I learned 95% of my knowledge from this website, which is why I joined for you all's feedback. My questions below, thanks in advance. Any other feedback is welcome.
Anything to prevent or decrease stretching from one plant to another with same genetics/conditions?
anything you see I did or didn't do that you'd like to comment on/ recommend from the pics below? Again, only third grow ever, so please be gentle.
I am am an indica fan, any other recommendations of good strains (from experience, I've looked a lot online, but would love to hear from growers). I've only ordered from Nirvana, but am open to others.
Cheers!
