BIG question................ Why would you trim the leaves on your babies???? They aren't clones man they have roots therefore are able to power the whole plant without trimming the leaves. The trimming is done on clones so while the fresh cutting has no roots it doesn't have to support so many leaves (thus cutting some in half ect......) But your roots are already established. Remember this LEAFS make your BUD so don't go cutting anymore leaves like that. You want your plant to be doing photosynthesis to the MAX and it can't do that with leaves missing.

Question. my babies are about 3 weeks along. I dont see no sign of balls on either 3 of my plants. looking like females!!! but anyway to my question. I havent used any nutes yet. and I wanna know if I can skip the first two and go straight to tiger bloom on a very low dose and work my way up? shall I do every water or every other water? I did 12/12 from seed.

That should work but watch he plants early on for N def. They sometimes need it during stretch and if they didn't get much 'veg' nute at first they may want it even more. Our so I've read...

Any new pics. Im excied for you!

I think the way he clipped his leaves is a supercropping tech. I have seen. Apparently if you snip the tips off of the 3-set leaves early on then they will stop growing in size, thus forcing the plant to focus resourses on new growth. I have seen it done in many threds but I have never personally tried it.

Is that why you trim your leaves shefsmoke?

lol..... well I never knew that but its funny that you brought it up, and he didn't know either.

I agree with thebotonist give em a little nitrogen, maybe the next two water cycles and then leave it alone. Got any new pic updates shef?

LOL sorry. I read it in a thread that the clipping stops leaf growth and premotes new growth. Looked just like how shef did it haha.

I would like to restate the nitrogen/feeding. It is definatly time to give em food. The new groth looks a little pale which could mean N def. I bet th growth will explode if you add N

I did 12/12 and I didnt think I would need the other 2 nutes. I thought I could just skip them and go to flower since thats what im doing. the NPK of tiger bloom is 2-8-4,big bloom is 0.01-0.3-0.7, grow big is 6-4-4

That should be enough N for the stretch. You will see the leaves get darker/healtheir looking than they already are After you feed. IMO.

Just watch for N def. if the plants starrt to stretch at the start of flowering. Good luck.Excited for the pics.

I have the feeding schedule for the FF nutes you can pick one up at a hydro store if you have one near you. Ummm basicly it says just feed once a week, always a little less than the recomended dose (especially at first).

BTW I am chopping Mary one of my auto ak47's today. She has about 90% red hairs on her and I need some smoke anyways lol. I'll post pics of them chopped and trimmed and in the dry box once I'm done.

Looking good man looking good. During flower you should throw some fans in there and turn them purple. I saw a thread the other day were this dude was able to turn is WW purple from the low temps in flowering. He kept the room at 66 and the canopy temp was like 72. That would be wicked to have some purple WW.
