First Grow..

[Gemugrows]

Yeah I agree,cut away all the dead crap.

It probably saved your fingers from trimming a bunch of popcorn later though

I say a lot of people cut away dead growth because they want/need to have there plants look pretty. I leave everything on until 2-3 days before flowering, then shave her legs. If growth is truly dead the plant will shed it. I've done a side by side and leaving the girls alone grew faster and looked more lush(besides all the ugly undergrowth) then the side I trimmed up.

That undergrowth can become a disease vector for mold, fungus and pests, just something else to think about besides directing growth.

Cut off at the start of the leaf, midway in their stem, or where the stem connects to the main shaft lol

 

[Longcock]

I like to pluck leaves off at the shaft. Faster than using a scissors.

Here's an update. Any suggestions? Stuck some inserts in the bottom openings of tent to help airflow not get restricted by the fabric closing the entrance haha.

I got intake fan and have 2 fans running for airflow in the tent, brings humidity down and the airflow is spot on now for my 1st indoor grow.

More fan brother.

Well. All my plants started to look droopy. I figured they needed more nutes or were getting root bound.. So I transplanted to 5 gallon smart pots. Didn't have enough Perlite to do 1/3. So it's more like 1/5 Perlite atm. I'll have to pickup nutes I guess..

They seem to be recovering!

The dark spots in soil are from flash/shadow. They were all watered pretty nicely after transplant yesterday. No water today. Might water a little tomorrow.

lookin a lil bushy!

 

[TheGodFather]

When should I start flowering?

 

[Tonygreen]

look good to me id flip em man. gonna have some nice tops there!

 

[TheGodFather]

Since I transplanted 2 days ago. Should I wait a full week before flipping? Also should I let it dry or keep it nice and wet? Since these are smart pots when do I know to stop watering?

 

[Tonygreen]

same rules apply man just prolly maybe have ta water more often with the root pot if they dry out faster, flip time will depend on expected stretch and your head room now, you gotta make that call.

 

[TheGodFather]

Well... My tent could allow for another foot of growth before getting the plants to close to the light. I don't want to rush things. I want the biggest yield possible. So should I wait another week to allow the roots to grow and plant to stretch?

 

[Tonygreen]

id flip now heh, and probably lst some branches down by tiein em or something gonne get thick in there for sure.

 

[TheGodFather]

Flipped them a few days back as you said. Here's some pics with the light still on.

You have to remember they are going to double in size in flower with the stretch.

 

[Tonygreen]

looks good to me, i would lollipop if it was me for sure, may have to tie some of the taller colas to the side depening on how they strech.

 

[TheGodFather]

Ok gotta come up with some stuff round the house to do the tieing..

 

[TheGodFather]

Been a little busy lately so kinda neglected a lil..

 

[TheGodFather]

When will they start to bud? Just want to make sure I haven't done anything wrong. Switched to 12 hours a while back.. about 10 days. I can't tell a difference.
