I started 4 seeds 1 in 3 gallon bubble bucket and 3 in hempy buckets. The one in the DWC flew past the The ones in the hempy so I transplanted them into 3 gallon bubble buckets as well. I have them under 6 bulb 4 ft HO T5 lights My Question is Why do they look like bushes and other people plans look like trees? Light to close? There just shy of 2 months.

everyone has a diff idea...
My fav way is to lollipop them
(I grow outside getting 5-6ft plants) I have dogs who like to walk near the plants + getting hair on the thc learned alot my 1st grow by learning from mistakes

I allow my ladies to go ahead and let it grow longer grow for me outside but after 2 years of this I see what I like and dont like about this plant

anyone who thinks this is just a walkaway type plant is crazy. There is daily work esp if your organic .....effing bugs.... are hand picked off

I generally spend about 2+ hours a day working 12 plants.


sorry orig ?

is Look up lollipoping plants (basicly removing about foot from the base of the plant to force enerhy onto the collas.. etc..

Ooh yea and lolipoping is a good idea if you .. agin .. plan to flower under T5HO .. do it before you start flowering .. a week or so .. 1/4 of the bottom grow .. but try to leave the fan leaves on T5HO wont provide enough light after a foot .. actualy .. my light meter show only nice strong light from 2-10 inche and that is wher I try to keep most of my plant .. so just be happy you have small low bushes .. and looking good I may add ..

dont worry .. keep it simple ..

Nice setup for your 1st grow, the plant in the pic looks very healthy. If you want to take clones then keep topping them, the more tops the better and the bushier they will get. Indica generally grows bushy on its own, but human guidance never hurts :)

Looking good man. 20 buckets what have you been watching weeds or something lol why not more the merrier if you have a set up for it the time and dedication involving everything around growing some dank ass shit instead of 4 why not go for 20 lol and size and space are great factors to consider as well lol

I have a 2 bedrooms both 10x12 I have 2 600 watt air cooled hoods thinking about 2 1000s...A 4 ft 6 bulb t5 I was gonna use for clones. I was thinking of getting light movers. like a lb or 2 every 2 month's. I work from home and have a shit load of free time. I'm in the grow room like every other hour I wish there was more I could do in there.
