Hi lilindian as you posted on my thread I thought I'd post on yours. Good job your doing so far.

If your vegging under a 400 is there any reason why your veg time is so long?

Reason why I'm asking is because you've seen my scrog grow so far and my scrog table is 1500mm x 800mm and I only vegged for 4 weeks before the screen was more or less full and that was under a 600w turned down to 400w + how much is it costing you in electric to veg for this long.

Cheers

Sounds about right! Urm, mine took this long to veg due to her training techniques more than anything. I had to train her in such a way that i kept her completely horizontal, whilst at the same time allowing new branches to grow. This was tricky and took a lot of tying down, tucking fan leaves under, snipping fan leaves off to clear up the canopy before letting it grow back. When branches were tied down, the plant had to put energy into turning them back towards the light, instead of just continuing to grow up like they normally would. Also reducing the amount of leaf surface area parrallel to the light every 4 days slowed down her growth, along with all the leafage i'd have to remove.

The way ive grown this, id imagine the plant would put a little energy into growing loads of branches up, rather than putting loads of energy into growing a couple main branches like usual, but i think this is goin back to auxin distribution and how ive tied her down ect.

I couldve flowered her without filling the screen but simply didnt want to. Also longer veg = bigger plant = bigger stalk = bigger root system = bigger buds! Cost has never been an issue in this grow, but this grow only. I'm trying to go all out

Cheers fo the explanation man just wondered that's all cos if I would have vegged that long in my grow I'd have been looking at a Forest. I wouldn't have been able to close the door let alone walk in. Lol

Not much to report on really, tops are a lot more visible now. Starting to think about introducing flowering nutes. Esko says they like low nute regimes so i'll start mine at 1/4, then half, and might even stop at 3/4 strength if they're growing well, we'll see nearer the time. She's been pumped hard through veg though, dont think i've fed her plain water once since i introduced the veg nutes. And she's had plenty of foilar feeding. Guess we'll find out whether she's the same in flower.

The K'nex bar u see is just there to help me judge when she'll be ready for the 2nd screen. She has to reach that height.


Temp at 7pm is sitting bang on 29C, lights off temp was 20C

Apologies for the blur, don't know whats going on..

So i found some white spray paint lying about, along with a clear lacquer, and thought i might as well just use up the rest of the white paint and spray the blue/green parts of my screen, so that more light that hits the top of the screen will be reflected back up towards the underside of the leaves, if even light makes it that far through the canopy. It should do if the plant grows the way i'm picturing it to in my head.

The pieces were sprayed as you see them, and the screen will be left as you see it in the pictures. Sprayed pieces were give 2 coats of primer followed by 2 coats of clear lacquer.

I will place this screen with the big square holes over the plant when the time comes and train a branch through each sq. Then once the branches have grown say an inch above the screen, i'll put the pieces on i sprayed today to hold them in the middle and in place.

The whole top surface area of my screen will be completely white now.

Comparing pieces before vs after spray:

I like when people are putting so much effort in things that are important to them. It seems that you never stop thinking how to care after your plants. If I knew how to put +rep I would give You for every post. :)

Maariic i have some CRAZY idea's for future grows, but they all require a lot more space than a little closet in the corner of my room! If i'm like this over 1 plant imagine what i'd do if i had a whole room! I just need the opportunity....

My number 1 growing rule comes from my dad and it goes a lil sumthing like this "If you're gona do something, do it properly", simple, yet effective! So i try and put 100% into my grows and dont cut any corners. If something can/needs to be improved it will be.

Anyway appreciate the support big time, sacrificed a lot to pursue my growing hobby and no matter how much work i put into my grows, and how much interest i show in the cultivation i still get a lot of stick from certain people for doing what i do, certain colour blind ppl who see the world as black and white....

She was real small and young, maybe 3 weeks from seed or something. The pictures below show her tied down for the very first time! She was left to grow naturally up till then under a 2ft T5 light. You made me go through my album lookin for these but i'm glad i found em! Thought they'd got deleted or summin.

LST'ing if done correctly its the best way to train plants, you can do anything you want with them and it doesn't slow down their growth as much as other training techniques. Plus its super useful to know how to properly LST which is why ive been practising over my past 2 grows.

This is true about colour blind people. But I can also understand why they are the way like they are. Couple years ago my only experience with pot was that after half a joint I was laying down throwing up and waiting for an hour when it will come over. I don't know if it was dipped in some shit or I was too drunk before smoking but I never had good experience with smoking pot. The only thing that I saw was couple of people who did nothing but smoked weed.
That is how those who don't smoke see smokers. But they don't see the difference that there are ppl who only smoke or drink and do nothing else with their lives. And there are ppl who smoke but this doesn't bother their lives. It just takes some part of their time to search info and look after their plants. But it doesn't mean they throw their lives away for weed.
For me weed is a substance that can stand in alcohol's place in parties. And there is no better way to calm down after tough and stressful working day as rolling up a joint.
But in our society there is a big problem to accept that most of smokers can care after their lives not giving up pot. As I am watching television in our country the only thing I see is how someone tries to scare ppl about weed. And they spread so much lies about it. That is why we have to wait next generation or even one after them to forgot those lies that some organized groups have put in society
