Fan leaves are the driving force of the plant. And the will not expend energy keeping a fan leaf around thats not contributing to the health of the plant. If they are green leave them be...

Thanks man. They are progressing nicely.


And I have decide to turn #4 into a bunch of clones or a mother plant for now. I need the space and will just Flower some #4 following this grow and possibly outdoors this summer.

Got the T-5 and now going to flower under it, always wanted too. So plan E or F now. lol Ad lib grow space. Just going to wrap the bread tray in sheetrock. In the cup up tall is the first node cut. 2 little spot lower in the cup are the 1st from 3. Just there for now.

It's like a big, green firework. It looks nice and cozy in there.

do you think that T5 well have enough light for some of the lower branches?
ive never grown with T5s thats why im asking i mean the good ones are like 200
when i can get a hps 600 watt for 168 cant just bring my self to buy one.

My T-5 was an Xmas present or I probably would not have one because I agree money better spent elsewhere. And your correct it may fall a little short lighting the entire plant. But it should give me a good indication of how effective the T-5 is. We can call it the 'shits and giggles' show. Oh ya the T-5 is a 8 bulb, 4 6500K and 4 2700K.

Well there are 2 distinct grow patterns. 3 a bit more on the Sativa side and 2 more Indica. Leaves all look a lot alike. I figure some time around the end of May, first of June we will know for sure!

JPH was ahead of the curve on this one.


It would have been foolish to try and flower the entire plant under a T-5, rep JPH. So whack a Mole it is, are was, or will be...now we have 14 tops in a nice neat canopy. The second node had already made it up with the rest, bet it becomes dominant now.


Didnt waste the top. Its in the cup of water with the first node cuttings. I will get them in some dirt this weekend to root in. The top was a pretty large cutting so I am not sure how it will be treated.



Least now I can get a shot of the preflowers that have been popping out the last few weeks...





I gotta tell ya I am pretty excited about flowering it under T-5 lighting.....

looking nice i was gonna ask if you would cut the top but i didnt want to tell you how to grow your plant
bc i know you didnt want to top them from earlier in the post before

Ya its still just the 5 out of 6 getting worked out...I think we are close...

yea well more you grow if her better you grow right?
you know what she can handle or maybe push her a little the second run
my second is bomb no job got like so many top like that one you cut but i vegged it for 2 months

Its the worm turds I'm telling you! They just never cease to amaze me...

i gotta pick some up then damn and stop using my cow shit lmfao

Cow shit is good stuff. Its just not as complete in most cases a EWC. They both definitely have there place in growing. I use cow and pig shit when recharging(composting used potting mix)to get things started...

They have grown to within 16inches of the light. Have had to move 2 and 3 down a bit. They will all get moved down to keep the canopy pretty much where its at for now. Still have only taken the first node and a little pinch here and there.







Filling the space right up...



Nice and lush down low...





Number 6 It and 1 are short and stocky....



Number 2 like 3 and 4 a bit more leggy...4 would have been the tallest for sure...




Number 1


Number 3



Probably going to wait 2 weeks before the next update as long as things stay on track....they sure take a nice picture...
Enjoy and thanks for stopping by...
