First time here

Hello guys I just had a question. so I'm coming up on four weeks shortly and just curious how are my plants doing. They look kind of short LOL

Its my first time im here in illinois just got my medical card.

Just ordered fox farm nutrions should be here tomorrow so i can start adding it to the soil.

They look fine, what strain is it? Prob heavy leaning indica by looking at the pics.

Don't go all crazy with the nutes, usually half what the bottle recommends is a good place to start at this stage. Maybe 1/4 if you want to be really safe. Gradually work your ppms up

4 weeks from seed? That ain't so bad ! They should be growing at a decent rate once it has established a decent rootball, plants are looking very heathly btw, nice job

They look great and have you topped them yet to get more main colas. Or you can LST by tying it down to let the lower parts catch up or my preferred top it then tie it down a bit then top it a couple more times you get a really even canopy then instead of one main cola the side beaches would catch up to the other colas then you would get a bigger yield because like all the nugs will be big I personally like to go for 8 to 12 tops

My other younger plants

Question what's the reason for the perlite on the top of soil?

I was having problems with gnats little flying anoying fuckers. Someone told me to put perlite on my soil and it will get rid of the problem. It sure did help me them and it keeps my soil from drying up to fast. Perlite prevents the gnats to lay eggs in soil.
The larva eats the roots of plant.

You're welcome

They look great. What kind of soil are you using, and do you plan to keep reusing it? And EWC work for fungus gnats too.

I used the same FFOF for the first 3 runs and just planted new plants into the old soil each time. I did do some top dressing and used some organic fertilizers or teas. I finally added some other good shit to it to make it a proper no-till system so they will be much happier now. It was getting kinda compacted. I personally don't like the Fox Farm nutes, except Big Bloom since it's organic. But there is nothing wrong with chemicals if that's your thing. I just am trying to get my soil better and better with each round. 15 gal pots are no fun to move around, and I don't want to have to buy soil every time.

And if that was my plant, I would take a few of those lower leaves off, and maybe a couple big ones that are blocking lower future bud sites. But take it easy, some people go crazy with defoliation. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't trim much just yet I would tie down all the braches so they spread out more evenly and you can take those bottom two off

Hey fellas i tried making hash from my trimmings lol and this is what i got lol
Is this even hash ? Also it smells like fresh cut grass on my lawn lol
