Grow fast, stress.. How?
- Thread starter Norrsken

for VEG/MOM fiddle with your light (from 18/6 to 16/8) regimine and look into trimming off fan leaves when your plant is about is about 6-7 nodes high; what happens with that is that the side branches start to take up the extra light, really stretch and grw trying to make up for the fan leaves that arent there taking up extra energy and the extra light thats available.
for FLOWER, i woudl say about 2-3 weeks before you know your gonnna flip 12/12 trim off the main stem fan leaves and some of the bigger leaves on the side branches that may be blocking lower branches from getting light they can really use/need.
even though your gonna take the lower branches for cuts/clones you still want them as healthy as possible when you do cut them.
for CUTS/CLONES, i would , of course, give them 24/0 floros molasses and B1 at 1/2 strength, put them into RR plugs covered over with a clear cup
***(my setup was a clear 16oz cup, a 1.5" net cup to hold the plugs and RR plugs; all you've gotta do is keep the plugs moist and and moisture in/on the inner walls of the cups, you can check my pics, they are in there somewhere, and spray the plants directly, and keep the bottom of the surface white and clean so all that light can bounce back up at the cuts, dont forget to trim your leaf edges/tips.)

best thing as a new grower is to leave things alone, less is more, don't fiddle. Let them grow if you really want a quick grow go 12/12 from seed.

Thanks for the good answer, I will cut the fan leaves. What can I cut with? A sharp knife or something? And I will be using nuts for Orchids 
that´s what I got.
Im growing in a pc case, so Im planing on vegging in 2weeks. Better to not do that at all? Should I LST or SCROG them? maybe both?

there is a way to shrink your days... i made a thread (or did i post in it? cant recall exactly) on it and got real deep into it... i think i even made an exact time schedule and posted it in the thread... im super tired right now and can't think worth a crap, but if you look through all of my thousands of posts im sure you can find it... it was possibly a couple years ago that i made the post... when i get around to it i will do a search... you can even do a search yourself... search something about "shorter days"... or something
the best way to speed shit up is to use a hydro setup that incorporates extreme amounts of oxygen with extreme amounts of water.... this causes rapid growth... an extremely noticeable diff can be seen in a plant grown in a undercurrent setup versus an organic soil grow...
soquick (the Original Gangster of ICMAG) was growing leg sized buds with his hydro setup... he would go clone to flower also which was fucking remarkable... this was 6-7-8 years ago too... ok time to pass out... zzZzZzzzzzzzZ

Giving advice on pruning to experienced growers is one thing. But giving it to new growers is another. Concentrate on healthy roots and the rest will follow.
i thought trimming leaves slowed down veg?
my advice. leave the leaves alone, try and get your environment as ideal as you can and dont try to do anything like overfeed as it will only f**k things up.
the only way you can speed things up is to get a faster flowering strain.

Yes, it make me cringe when newbies who have never grown anything in their lives are getting all these "advanced" tips. They'll probably end up ruining the whole crop.
KISS - Keep it simple...at least the first few grows.
Okey, I understand and aggree. will Keep it simple then hehe
Vegg 2weeks in 24h lightning and I´ll switch to 12/12?
Should I lst or scrog them? Doesnt mather?? Runing in a pc case
A micro grow? That's (in my opinion) a whole different animal that takes expert advice. Yup, listen to Warped1...get over to the micro grow areas and start reading/asking questions.
Good luck! I have nothing but respect for those guys...so much from so little space...amazing!
