Sorry to be a pest but I want to know exactly wat the fuck I'm doin before I start fuckin with my baby's. Wats the reasonin behind tying the branches down. Y not just cut at the first node then let them shoots grow to the fifth node then cut the shoots at the first and so on with out tying

tying spreads your colas out so theyve got more space for light and air, if you leave them thell all grow up in a big bunch,,,,, do exactly what you said about the topping,,,,easy,, ok

Also, you once you've topped for the first time, you no longer need to wait for 5-6 more nodes on the shoots that are growing. Just give them enough time to recover and show new vigorous growth before you top again....

read the damn mainlining thread homie!

why not start a grow journal and tell us, all about about your set up

if your
growing in soil, coco, water, ect and the system,
room size (width and height), fans, lights, temps/ humidity
strain, nutes, type of soil/ coco ect

then we can give you the best advice, depending on your setup

9 weeks that's a long veg, should be able to get away with 6 weeks

would start them off in smaller pots so they all go in one tent and week before flower re pot and put half the plants in the second tent

but not sure a 600w hps can cover a 1.5m tent, I would use both light in one tent and buy 2 more 600w hps for the second tent or buy 2 x 1000w hps lights (one light for each tent)

a 600w hps in a 1.5 x 1.5m tent with give you a lot of problems (loads of stretch and popcorn)

Na mate I mean i I got 2 600s in each tent. I got a little veg area out side the two tents were I have 1.2x1.2 trey and I veg under 1 600w mh. While my plants r flowering for 9 weeks in the two tents I veg outside under the metal halide. My seedlings tend to grow a little slow for like 3-4 weeks for some reason. It's really pissin me of. After 3-4 weeks they take off though. Used to start them off in 4inch pot but switched to 5inch pots. Not sure if that's the reason. I c some people on here posting pics of monsters on here after 4 weeks of veg but not sure if there bull shitin two make themselves look good. I got 9 weeks neway so that's plenty of time

a 600w mh is good in veg

often use 4" pots in veg

maybe its down to the strain not sure, but you should be able to speed the growth up TBH
have you got the 600w mh 16" off the top of the plants with a oscillating fan blowing over the canopy

often I take clones in the first week of flower, clones take 8-12 days to root and then I veg for 5-6 weeks and flower (in soil)

if you doing a hydro system, you can veg in less than 4 weeks and end up with a tree, ( don't like hydro my self )

but i can't see anyone growing a monsters with 4 weeks of veg grown soil

clones take off a bit quicker then seedlings. Seedling don't do nethin 4 like two weeks. At the moment Got some blue cheese. There slow as hell. Do have u MH 16 above ur seedlings from day one? I just moved mine higher cos I though it mite be a bit too harsh for them.
Had a fan blowing above the seedlings but I find it makes the pots dry out so quick
