all your doing is slightly bending, or tying down the plant so it grows in such a way that you maximize light. You can yield a lot more with just a little bit of training.
k i guess ill try, its just harder for me because my plants will only have one top so i guess ill tie some side buds down.all your doing is slightly bending, or tying down the plant so it grows in such a way that you maximize light. You can yield a lot more with just a little bit of training.
This is a plant before chop. Do you see how I trained the branches away from the center as to allow branches/buds to come up from the center and grow?
There's nothing to training dude
Pretty much
I was looking at my plants and i just dont think they would benefit from lst right now except for some new growth under the top canopy. I have bent some of the branches down and it doesn't get them any extra light so i guess ill have to wait.
thats true, i just feel like i have to act fast because these autos have short lifespans.Btw plants look great
Damn thats nice, i cant wait for my girls to get all grown up.I know that's how you feel. But your plants react so fast and grow so quickly you'll be surprised. 60 or 70 or whatever many days you have left is going to be a longgg time. If you do over fertilize you can get nute lock and your plants growth will be stunted. Once they get bigger you can give them more nutes but you want to just let them relax and grow their roots in their pots. You also want your soil to dry out between waterings. Because when the soil dries out the roots reach for water, so by letting it dry out your helping your root system.
What I'm saying is you can give your plant too much love, sometimes (especially in the beginning) too much love can be a bad thing. (overwatering/nute lock). Especially because this is your first real grow you want to get a better understanding on the cannabis plant before you start tweaking and perfecting your technique. Once you come out of a grow with a harvest you come out with a lot of tested knowledge. I mean you can read and read all you want but you learn a lot more just by doing and observing.
Check these pics. I didn't use any type of bloom enhancer. Just 3 part Adv. Nutrients nutes, ffof, and molasses..
ps: upper right plant was male in first pic, removed afterwords. The other pics are just the two plants.
Thats awesome dude ill subscribe to your thread.They look real good so far man, keep it up! I'd definitely wait on that tiger bloom. If you had some FF big bloom now would be a good time to start, from what it says on the FF chart anyway.
I'm on my first grow aswell just a little ahead of you!!
I just started using the FF big bloom and I'm at 29 days.. My auto's "shortrider" supposedly don't show for 35 days so hopefully I will know soon!! I'm seeing preflowers I just don't see hairs or balls yet, can't wait!!
Was using 6x 42w CFLs [252w] in a small box with two plants. Kept them as close as I could... I had two small fans in-taking air, blowing them on the plants and then up over the lights and out the box. Fans were on 24/7...They look real good so far man, keep it up!

Sr Verde How have you solved your temp issues if you don't mind me asking from the high watt cfl's. That is if you even had heat issues lol..??
Sounds pretty much like what I have, thanks for the reply.
Yea you really don't need a veg nute with auto's, specially with FFoF. Big bloom is used throughout veg and flowering according to the FF chart. I think your talking about Grow Big which is what they use for veg, "high in N."
