Hey man nice growth!!

Like any other plant, they need grow nutes first!! When they are ready to go fully into flower, you'll notice, don't worry!
Just don't overdo it with nutes, you don't want to ruin this pretty green lady!!

Cheers!!

Day 13 and topped one of them today, gonna leave the other one and see the difference in growth, might try some light LST on the other but unsure where to start really :s I'll post pics in a few days as there's not been a massive change and all is healthy, gonna give first Dyna gro 'gro' feed today.

I found some useful LST info on Youtube. It seems a little complicated before you start but once you put it into effect and see the fruit of you labor in a matter of hours you'll be hooked. I'd recommend LST over topping any day, but alas I am a newbie. I've tried both and to be honest with myself I prefer the yield characteristics that a proper LST provides with more dense colas in the end.

Cheers yeah Iv been checking YouTube out but I'm a lil confused still, if I tied all the branches too the outside of the pot, (it's not a wide pot) would that still work sort of leaving the middle and just tying the branches all the way round the outside of the pot?

That's where I was confused until I actually got started and learned the science behind it. When you pull the main stalk down it forces the growth hormones in the plant to find a new top because the primary grotwth you pull down is no longer an option. As the new top becomes dominate and grows above the rest of the canopy you pull that one down too forcing the plant to start over with other secondary shoots. This will give you bigger nugs on the new tops that at one point would have been secondary growth.

Cheers man! Growing is the game and stealthy is the aim! Gonna be making a carbon filter with 2 pc fans soon so check that out too!

Think since this is my first grow I'm going too let them go on there own just because I want too do that first then see what results I can get with Al types of growing! Cheers for all the help and interest guys :)

I'd love too of done that, unfortunately I don't have anymore auto seeds and don't really wanna grow them together atm! There's a possibility I'm moving in April so I'll have too wait too start anything else I think, tho it is very tempting!

Hey guys got a few pics here, hole cut and fans arrived still unfortunately waiting on dc adaptors. On the fans I have there's three wires not two, anyone have these fans and no which 2 wires to hook up? There called arctic F12.

Any who... The ladies are doing well, the one I topped has slowed as expected but the new tops are spouting now, iv also added another light, so I'm now running 2 5000k 45 watters and one 2700k 45watt. I have an 85 watt that I'll put in for flowering! Here's some snaps!

Red is positive, black is negative. The yellow one is to monitor RPM, you can ignore it and leave it unattached.

Great choice, these are good fans. :)

Hey Hanky, I just wired up a test run PC fan last night, I believe the yellow wire is a fan-speed wire for the mobo. I snipped that one off and hooked up the red and black and she's spinning right now.

Edit; ^ that guy has the answer and a faster reply to boot.

Cheers guys Iv just done exactly that with 2 old phone chargers as I couldn't be bothered to wait.... What a waste of money I wish I realised before! Both fans spinning now gonna make some sort of carbon filter using them both :)
