A few update pics. Alot of new growth on the topped plants and the one that isnt topped im really pleased with also as its only 31/2 weeks old from seed and from looking at pictures online of other plants at this stage i think im on track. Im starting to get excited now at what my lights may do

Check out my thread dude... I am doing a Mini DWC LED LST/SCROG Cab .. I've been told by the Mrs that she wants a minimalistic house and so all "Unessential" things need to go... My mate needs a Cab just for his personal needs.. So whilst I am in-between grow's I've taken on the challenge of clearing out all my old bits n pieces and putting together a worthy one-plant cab and posting all pics and documentation in/on my thread to; Pass the time, Please my Wife and do a favour for a friend in need

I like how your ladies are coming along it wont be long before the start really growing fast - STELTHY

Ill take a look now mate, i like the idea. There are roots now ging into every bucket so they are growing well everyday

looking good mate, very brave with the topping but if the advice came from uncle ben then I'm sure its gold. Looking forward to seeing your next update pics as they've grown quite a lot in that last set.

Yes dude they are taking off now To be honest i lost a week while the light were so low as the one thats a week behind the other 3 is alot bigger but thats had the full amount of light its whole life.

 

[BudBaby]

Stealthy mate how do you use the cha ching? Im reading different reports on how to use it and its effects. Some people say its very hot and if your not cautiouos your plant will hermie? Im also reading that people dont use it full strength or for as long as fox far recommend? I know you use it with success so i thought id go with your method.

 

[BudBaby]

Some update pics, plenty of new growth in the last 3 days There is one thats not seeming to get much taller but im hoping it will pick up.

My pride and joy though is the untopped plant, i was a bit gutted with how slow the first 3 plants were growing until i realised the light was to low, i think for 4 weeks from seed its looking pretty good and now i know what i did wrong ill have 4 looking like that on my next grow

If you look closely at picture 3 and the first picture the bottom leaves on those plants have some marking on them and i think it may be nute lockout or maybe nute burn. I couldnt get a closer picture as they were to blurred. Im thinking maybe im not diluting the ph down enough and now there is roots showing maybe its causing these marks on the leaves.

Ive lowered ec slightly on affected plants and ill keep an eye on them.

Subbed in to this one, Just read through the whole post and i wish i had that cash to throw around lol, Im really interested to see how this turns out for ya man as im trippin cos i just found the custom L.E.D`s bloke on ebay earlier then i come across this thread now, Im thinking on the slightly less expensive 70w version for my flowering chamber and at £200 i would like to see some good results with his L.E.D`s first.

Also thnx for the links to the wardrobe website, could come in handy for me. Your wardrobe conversion looks like the dogs bollox, Oh yeah and Stelthy if you like to plan and design grow areas, ive been using googles Sketchup 8, Its simple and piss easy to figure out.

Hi dude, its best to use in the last few weeks of Flowering, and use it very sparingly.. I use 1/4 teaspoon for 10L so you'll need just under a teaspoons worth per Res.Tub, Its great stuff but better to use to less than too much.. It won't necesarly turn the plant hermy but there a high chance of nuit burn! So use half what the tub surgests - STELTHY

Ok mate thanks. How many weeks do you use it and at what stage mate?

I have just been looking at my canna grow guide and i have 3 complete bucket changes while i flower, ive been thinking though do i have to completely chanfge or can i just keep topping them up with the right stuff?

You can use it for between 1 and 3 weeks, at the very end of your grow....(Still need 1 weeks flush after, before Harvest !!) Also try and get hold of some "ROX" nuitrient.. ROX will literally turn your buds to rock well kind of.... It adds alot of weight to the buds and thickens them up (Better than anything else in the world) so upon Harvest you'll have a decent final dry weight and when you grind the buds up they will be very rewarding and fill your Grinder nicely !!!

I have learnt that although its possible to keep topping up the RES for each water/nuit change, it can be more hassle. Although it can be time consuming its better to do a 100% new water/nuit change each time and throw away the 'used' water. (POUR DOWN TOILET...."NOT" DOWN SINK/BATH etc... as the loo takes the liquid and any unwanted smells away, the sink and bath will drain it near your house and unwanted smells can and usually do excape!! Be careful, cover your back and pour it down the toilet ).

By doing a 100% water/nuit change, will allow you to be sure both the PH and EC are on target, and you can be sure your plant will grow happily and reward you well !!!

Hope that helps mate - STELTHY

 

[BudBaby]

Good thinking on the toilet mate i never thought of that. Ill do a complete water change for each stage, as they start to empty i can keep topping them back up.

 

[BudBaby]

Mate these buckets my plants are veggin in now havent been changed for 2 weeks, will this be ok? There growing plenty and look ok so i cant see why not.

Gonna order a couple of bottles of hammerhead now, it says though to use it for a few weeks through flowering but my canna guide says just use it for 1 week? Shall i follow the guide to the letter this time?

 

[BudBaby]

Everything is looking great and going to plan, im just trying to leave them now as much as i can and i only check ph every 2 days.

I think i may leave the one plant as is mate, seeing as its my first grow it will be good to have topped plants to comapre to one that isnt topped. I rekon ill be able to put into flower next week as its about 10" high at the moment

Il get some pics up tomorrow.

As tempting as it is to start Flowering them DON'T DO IT JUST YET!! .. Wait until the Un-topped plant reaches 13" tall....Then Top it! Let the topped plant grow to about 15" THEN PUT THEM IN FLOWER !!! I guarentee you'll thank yourself for waiting

You could still hold an experiment.. Comparing the difference in topped height and final out-come Trust me man! "Its always better to top" (at least once).

Upon Harvest you'll thank me for asking you to wait.. and you should..all things going well, have a very impressive yield!!! Always aim high - and you'll 'Get High (Sorry for cheesy pun! )

Stick to CANNA's guide but use HAMMERHEAD instead of Canna's PK

I look forward to seeing your latest pics, and how things are coming along

* Remember your Grow-Cab is bigger than mine so 40" Beastly Plants are very in range for you VEG: To a max of 22" before switching to 12/12. If you top your ladies..and 'Lolly-Pop' them and allow them to finish at around 40" tall you'll have Monster Buds.

You have Ultra Powerful LED Panels that will easily look after bigger plants, make use of this !! Defo. don't switch to FLOWER just yet... its to soon!





Personally I think topping your last girl at 12" is a good idea Then continue to VEG them all until they are all roughly at least 18" then push them into FLOWER!!
The plants will have very thick stems and a huge bundle of white roots down below..These roots are in large DWC buckets nealy 3 times the size of mine..So alot more air can pass around/through your free hanging roots, This means your plants will perform better. You have a very nice amount of potential growth heigh,t and the big strong stem's/branches will be capable of holding up some very large bud's...





Bare this in mind, I pray you do lol .. Hope that helps - STELTHY

Ok mate will do, i think about 3ft high finishing height would be great for me so ill top this one at 12"(i measured it this morning and its bang on 10 at the moment), i just dont want them to get to high for the cabs, do they really get 3 times as big after stretch? If they do then idealy i want them at no more than 12" before i put them in flower?

How high do you rekon the other 3 will get? Will they literaly keep getting taller until i put them in flower?

 

[BudBaby]

Ill get some pics up today as i forgot yesterday The ladies are sleeping at nthe moment and it would be rude to wake them so ill take some with the lights on.

On another note i think im gonna have a go a 10 plant gorilla grow If i go with autos i can start them begining of June and they will be done end of august. I have literally miles and miles of forest virtualy as my backgarden so i should be able to find a good spot. If i can get 4 oz a plant thats 40 oz total Obvioulsy i may have some mould and pest issues but i still think i could get 20+ oz of decent stuff out of it

Il start doing some research but i def think im gonna have a go.

 

[Belesar]

BudBaby and Stelthy just wanted to show you how i did my wardrobe setup, Its quite interesting comparing the two

Looking forward to the pics aswell

From my experience the ladies do stretch, but only to twice their height, give or take a few inches. However they fill out especially if topped more than 2 or 3 times... I wouldn't worry you have plenty of space Top your last plant at 12" and then throw them all into flower once the latest/last (last Topped) plant reaches 15". Trust me it'll be worth it - STELTHY

View attachment 1589835View attachment 1589834View attachment 1589836Ok mate, its really growing fast now, infact 3 are growing really fast as you will see from my pics Even the runt is starting to pick up, the cabs are starting to get fuller I think i will be topping tomorrow or Tuesday as it wil easilybe 12" by then. I would say the 2 biggest topped plants are abut 8" now 4 main colas on all of them!!!!
