Okay I topped them and repostioned the lights and moved things around a little ... Plants look happy and good so far, and I also have a sprout thats about an inch and a half with it's 1st 2 leaves :) so I am gonna keep on trying .. So far the good news is I havent killed them. They actually both look really happy with there new spots I raised them up a few inches !

Unfortunatly I learned that one the hard way. Someone had told me it was a great idea to put the Nutes in my spray bottle and spray them directly on the plant/leaves .... Yea No my plants didnt like that so I well actually just one of them so that one I took a break from giving it Nutes at all for a bit and now I only give it 1/2 strength once a week . The other plant loves them so I give her nutes a 2-3 times a week but I only give them 1/2 strength and they seem happy with that ! Thanks for the encouragement ! Considering what my poor ladies have been through in there short lives, I think they are growing like champs !!

Nice :) mine are both Ace of Spades.. I havent smoked that strain yet, but I have heard its a really good high . I havent come across any douch bags on here yet,but I am sure it will happen sooner or later !. So I have a quick question . Is it true that if I let them Veg for longer that I will get a better and more potent smoke ??? Also I am gonna need a ton of help when I start getting into the flowering tha harvesting stages . I grew a couple plants a few years back had them big and beautiful and they started flowering but I was forced to get rid of them so I am super new to this and a bit lost ! Thanks for the advice it's much appreciated !

im pretty sure plants double and can easily triple in size during flowering, so if you only have 2.5 ft of growing space id only let them get like a foot tall max.

no the longer u veg bigger the plant more yield has nothing to do wth how potent it is some people would argue wth me on this but theres more tht will tell u the same try growing some 12/12 from seed i use to do it way back when just started again i can grow twice as many plants in less time and more yield than if i grow 4 and veg for 4 to 6 wks i have 14 in the space i normaly only have 4 !

I topped them both last week so there only about 6-7 inches right now ... I am really just trying to give them time to get bushier and also a bit of time to heal from there injuries. I was gonna let them veg for another 3 weeks but I will def keep that in mind and not let them get much taller ! Thanks The advice is much needed and much appreciated !

I do have a couple seeds in root riot cubes starting to sprout up now so I could do the 12/12 with them and than compare the diff ? I am reluctant to push these two girls too much, just because I have already stressed them both out by injuring them. I am trying to let them Veg a bit to recover from being injured. You saw my pictures ? Do you think they look ready to go to 12/12 , they are still pretty small right ?? Or am I totally wrong ? Thanks I love all the advice/knowledge keep it coming !! What about a C02 bag I read about something called exhale , is that a good thing to look into ? Oh and what can I use as far as an air purifyer/cleaner to help with the smell. I have noisy neighbors pretty close by and I am sure the febreeze isn't gonna be strong enough for much longer ??

once a clone establishes roots they can be put on 12/12 this is my first grow 12/12 in a long time alot of new diffrerent strains now some do good 12/12 some dont im pretty much experimenting wth this grow i know my hazes and purps will do good not sure abt the BLT'S im not sure its not a high yield plant the mother i veged for 4wks the clones as soon as they rooted i i switched them the BLT was a freebie i decided to run after a big disapointment wth a bad pac of GDP seeds. she's abt 4 wks into flower abt 2.5 ft loaded wth buds as for as the smell cant really help you wth tht i live out in the country and dont worry abt it but i know theres filters u can use just dont know much on tht subject i have no neighbors so i never researched anything to deal wth the smell good luck happy 4th !

So here is a quick question . The last time I gave them Nutes was June 29th .. If I am planning on flowering them how long should I wait after giving them those last Nutes or Vegging before I can switch to the flowering lights and nutes ?

I let my first plants get 2 feet tall before I put them into 12/12. The damn things were 7 feet tall by the time they were done flowering. Rules of thumb: plants triple in size in flower and sometimes more.

Mine aren't even 1 ft yet. One is 6inches and the other is a bit over 7inches, I also need to know since I gave them the Veg Nutes on the 29th how long do I need to wait before I can give them the flower Nutes and change them to the 12/12 lights ?

well i think you said you only hav 2.5 feet of space its a strain you've never grown b4 would suck if they out grew there space like mopaba said and so hav i and a few others they can and most will triple in height your looking at 8 to possibly 12 weeks of flowering dont know the strain but so cant be more specific it doesnt always take the amount of time the breeder says usualy longer with cfl and flourescents lights and this is from experience you can add 2 more weeks to the flowering time ! not trying to make you throw caution in the wind just plan on them getting alot bigger unless its a normaly short strain
