Your grow tips are showing that the plant is growing fast and it's past time to get those floppy branches some support.
They need a media with a healthy micro-herd to work any good. I bought one of those years ago and got shit for yield but I'm not a dirt farmer so it didn't get me much in soilless media with no active myco going on. Still in a box somewhere down in the basement.
I'm getting into adding organics with myco and thinking of getting some more Earth Juice organic nutes. Tried that years ago too but got the same results as with the Go Box nutes. It wasn't the nutes fault but grower error is why they didn't work well.

Support like tying a stick to the stem?
Should change the pot size? It grew a lot after the first cycle of the new light

I'll jam bamboo sticks into my 4gal plastic pots to hook floppy tops to even when the stems are fairly strong. With fabric pots I'm not so sure that would work well tho. I've even stuck 3 or 4 in and then tie a piece of wire sheep fencing to them to do a single pot ScroG. Bending the branches over to grow along the screen for a bit before flipping to flower. Either that or make some kind of frame to hold a screen over the pot to support the colas when you flower.
As long as your soil has lots of good bacteria in it you should get decent results and teh way it's growing fast it seems they are there. I'm adding them to mine and have manures and earth worm castings mixed in with the soilless now to get some organic growing going on. Feeding with Mega Crop nutes for a well-balanced diet.
All experimental at this point but going well so far.

Same if I need to support I’ve used the same single pot scrog with bamboo outdoors works a treat can even double up and have two on the oneI'll jam bamboo sticks into my 4gal plastic pots to hook floppy tops to even when the stems are fairly strong.

If you need two screens then it's not a ScroG but a screen support for colas. Everybody calls those ScroGs but they're not.

Just couldn’t be bothered pointing it the difference tbh but you are rightIf you need two screens then it's not a ScroG but a screen support for colas. Everybody calls those ScroGs but they're not.

The State of Oklahoma has done gone and approved the medical use of marijuana and issued me a card!
So I go about shopping at WalMart and buying everything I can figure out I need to hydro-grow me some medicine for my brain damage. Unfortunately, the internet is full of resources! <-- that is because everyone has the 'Right way' to do it.
Using the conglomeration of data that I have gathered and jumbled up in my scrambled noggin' I got myself a real mess!
I actually had a dog eat one of my plants.
At this time, I have no real consistent direction. I got some on the back porch in small containers. I got some in big container on the back porch. I got a couple in the 2x4x5 grow tent in containers of dirt and I even have 1 in a really nifty hydroponics setup I cobbled together with some nutrients, water, coconut shell, orchid basket, hanging in some bubbling water.
I bought a couple of plants from the dispensary. I gathered a few seeds and I started some of them in wet paper towels. I started some in cups of water. Most died; but, a few are hardy little survivors.
I got lights! I got some LEDs, some full spectrum light, some florescent, some black light, and a plant grow bulb. They are hanging over the plants and on 24x7. I setup the timer to do like 6 hours of darkness per day ... but I hadn't plugged into it yet.
I have been cutting some of the plants to try to spread them out a bit ... I guess there is a number of ways to do that too.
Learning by doing ... that's my motto! I will do it even if it's wrong because I learn from it. Perhaps, sharing my trials and tribulations and staying open to suggestion I might become successful at producing some medicines for my use.
Okay, that is my introduction. Feel free to ask away - I don't even know enough to ask the right questions at this point. No, I won't be offended.

Welcome aboard mate post some pics of your plants so we can see your setup.Entertainment

What soil are you using, are you using nutes and what brand. Also what light did you get your self. Don’t over think it to much few things I’ve learnt less is more, your better of slightly under watering them then overwatering, add less nutes start with 1/4 strength or less. Calmag of some sort is key.
I also find the best way to germinate seeds is to soak them in water for 12-24 hours then place it straight into soil,coco fibre. I water my seedlings with a spray bottle and mist them. Seedlings do not like to be over watered at all. Good luck mate
6.5 ph to start of seedlings works for me

Hey guys. My first time growing weed now that it's legal up here in Canada! So exciting and I have been in love with these plants since I saw one growing at 15yrs old. I have 2 plants outside in plastic pots with good drainage. I have pro mix soil HP (high porosity) and am using and organic fish fertilizer which is 5-1-1. The hydro store I went too I met a guy who said keep it simple this year for your first time and use this.....he was right. Plant went super green and is STRONG! The big one is gorilla glue from clone and my new little baby is durban poison from clone.
I have been doing some research and know that calcium and magnesium is important....so I found a natural home made way to add a bit of organic fertilizer by making a banana peel tea which eggshells and Epsom salt (1tbsp per 4 litres or 1 gal) has anyone ever heard of this or used it? Also good for the veggies I have growing apparently.

4x4 LED grow light setups?

Hey,
First time grower now that Canada is legal and my back finally decided to give out
Anyways I just purchased a 4x4 tent with a 4 inch fan ,carbon filter ,pots , ratchets,climate control,all that Jazz. But the only option for lights was a 400hps. It was 300 Canadian (=$7 usd).
I have never grown before.
I am looking to maximize what I can with this space.
I will be putting this tent inside my insulated garage. We get regular temps of -25c all the way to -45c. I do have a forced air heater in the garage which I usually set at +10c.
So my questions are. ...Will that little 400 watt hps be able to throw enough temperature to keep a 4x4 warm enough with the ambient outside temp 10c ?
Is the 400 even worth wasting time? Or should I just use it in a little veg tent for next go around.
And if the answer to keeping the 400 for veg is a yes .....then would a 1000hps or any quantum board have enough heat to Work?
And happy Canada day !
Thanks !
