sorry i ment to put the end height in my post, now that i look at it i didnt. But they ended up being 40-45 inches tall top bud to netpot

I only fim'd once since i didnt want to do it again so close to flipping to flowering, you can fim all day and get tons of tops as long as you give them enough time to recover before flipping to 12/12. Never introduce a stressed plant into flowering, itll cut yield a lot imo.

I am noticing the nodes on number two are growing extremely large, long, and up fast. They already reached these huge fan leaves, that I know are blocking a lot of sunlight. Number one's nodes are smaller and haven't reached like number two, but still looking good. Should I be cutting edges of fans to provide more light to the nodes? Or, should I simply just wait until a full recovery to see what happens?

Thank you :3

i usually tuck fan leaves away to create room for lower growth, just bend em out of the way, tuck them under another branch or something like that

I ended up tucking the huge fans underneath the nodes. Works amazingly . I notice the FIM is recovering and starting to grow. Looking crazy, but it's going to look so much more insane.

Attitude orders #3 and #4 came in, and will be doing an update within a few hours everyone.

nice ocho the FIMs look very nice and congrats on two successfull orders! hope you had a good weekend man im excited for ur new seedlings

Thanks Hatt . I am wondering if I should start a new seedling or not. I have no other lights, and these three plants are ahead of the game by a couple weeks. I do have an autoflower strain from Barneys now, but does switching the lights to 12/12 trigger their flowering or do they flower when they are ready?

Thanks !

-Ocho2

Autos will flower when ready. Most people run autos at 20/4 but I've seen people do 12/12 from seed with acceptable results

Nothing like an update while enjoying some sour diesel . How are all of you doing? Going to be a decent sized update .

As I mentioned my third and fourth order arrived today. I ordered a crush proof tin with both of them, along with another coffee mug and a shirt for the Mrs. Unfortunately, the coffee mug is the exact same as I got in my last order. Ironically, the Mrs. shirt is the SAME logo and seed breeder. But I wish I ordered the shirt, because it is super sick. The order consists of double the 420 Promotion ( 1x Fem. Pineapple Chunk, 1x Fem. Blue Mammoth Auto, 1x Fem. Critical Kush, 1x Fem. LA Diva, 1x Fem Afghan Kush Ryder, Grinder, Lanyard, Pack of Papers



My current supply of seeds in total after 4 Attitude Orders, and planting 3x WWxBB, is below here. Maybe suggestions for the next grow, or what can be started now?

1x White Widow X Big Bud (Female Seeds)
1x Green Bud (CH9 Seeds)
1x Critical Mass 33 (CH9 Seeds)
1x Blue Lemon Thai (CH9 Seeds)
1x Monster (EVA Seeds)
1x Jamaican Dream (EVA Seeds)
1x TNT Kush (EVA Seeds)
2x LA Diva (Delicous Seeds)
2x Afghan Kush Ryder (World of Seeds)
2x Critical Kush (Barneys Farm)
2x Pineapple Chunk (Barneys Farm)
2x Blue Mammoth AUTO (Barneys Farm)
4x Bubblegummer (Female Seeds)
4x Pure AK (Female Seeds)
5x Sensi Star (Paradise Seeds)
6x Exodus Kush (DNA Genetics)

..Leaving me with a total of 36 feminized beans .

Onto the grow ..

So number one is right here. As you can see the FIM is recovering, and unfortunately the node growth on her isn't nearly as great as number two. Still though, she is very healthy and measures in at a hair above 8 inches tall. The nodes are not long enough to tuck the fans below them, so hopefully the FIM is slow and those nodes grow fast.



Number two has incredible node growth. Its has reached to, and some even beyond, those mega fan leaves. As you can see, I tucked the fan leaves beneath the growths so they get the perfect amount of light. I can see 8 nodes already up, and I believe two more are going to beat the recovering FIM. Very healthy, and is 8 1/2 inches tall . Funny how she was the second two germinate and be planted, and even pop the soil, and yet she is the tallest of the bunch xD.



Number three is working on her fourth nodes, and has come along a lot. Being the runt in the group sucks, but I think the FIM gave her a bit of time. She measures 4 1/2 inches tall, and I am still wondering what I am going do with her. FIM, topping, or grow as is. What do you guys think?



And finally here is the grow .



Cannot wait to hear back from everyone. Light is still at 21 inches, feeding is normal water, and a nutrient feeding a day.

Thanks everyone !!

i dont know why somone with grow experiance hasnt said anything yet dude but DONT CUT FAN LEAVES. they are what soaks up solar energy for your entire plant and the flowers. shining light directly on the budds does not help, if you cut all your fan leaves off your plant would prolly yield almost nothing. you can take my word or keep cutting, im just tryn 2 look out for you dude.

No fan leaves were cut other then the FIM method. Look at the extreme node growth just because The new growth was FIM'ed.

It doesnt look like you fimmed properly though. I dont see any extreme node growth. Also, I think its usually better to top than fim. Topping encourages more lateral growth than fimming, and most strains will give you 4 medium sized colas as compared to two large. Are you looking to hedge your plants?

I believe my FIM was not short enough on my plant named #1. But look at the large set of photos for number two. All those close ups are of the nodes. They grew up passed the fan leaves all over her. The nodes below measure out at 6 and 7 inches. Thats all of them on number two. The nodes on number one grew a 1 inch overnight last night, allowing me to bend those fan leaves down for the nodes.

So the node growth on #1 blows but its about to increase. And #2 is the best so far. Thanks for the input everyone.

-Ocho2

So I believe in order to look at plants correctly, saving others photo's and zooming can help a lot. In turn, I have created a few pictures to show the nodes and their growth.

Number one is below here. I doodled teal arrows pointing to the nodes with paint. As I said the growth went up an inch last night, and the nodes are looking as if they'll conquer the FIM's recovery.



Number two is right here. How can you not see node growth here? First picture shows shows the first single leaf (where the text box is ) of the plant that was burned from heat, along with a giant nearly seven inch in length node. Text box didnt come up well but it says "first true leaf burned". Second picture shows all of the nodes at the top of the plant, with arrows pointing to them. And that is at the way bottom of the plant. Not including every other node.



If you need closer look, please do save them to your computer so you can see. No argument here, just don't see how you guys cannot see node growth.

Thanks

I don't think you did your fim low enough. Usually you'll get some branching at the cut too. Seems like it going to work out though

So the node growth isn't as extreme as it should be? I figured it wasn't low enough, but hopefully they will still bud out good. The nodes are nearly as long as the plants height.

Thanks supchaka

Lookin great there Ocho, keep up the good work brother.

Snoochie Boochies!

LOL I was so high when I commented last night I didnt realize people had already said the same thing I did, sorry! Heh

Haha, its ok. The nodes on number one are starting to look like and are the size of number two nodes. But it probably doesn't matter since i fucked the FIM up >.<.

So I went in and tried to redeem myself, and FIM'ed number 3 A.K.A. the ugly duckling.

She is the smallest of the plants and she is working on the same node as when I FIM'ed the other two girls.

I know the other FIM's were not short enough, but I believe I got branching on this one as supchaka mentioned. If you have to go lower than this, I don't know what to do. Hate stressing and hurting my girls XD.



Let me know what you all think . She is quite short and bushy already, so hopefully this FIM is better than my mess-ups on the other two.

Thanks everyone

You know what fim stands for, Fuck I missed.lol Do what your doing!!...rw You missed a spot.lol
