Yeah... trim if you have to, supercrop, lst, whatever... but you should really put those back into veg. They won't produce well until they're at least 2 months old.

It's like asking a 15 year old to load hay bales. They can DO it... some even fairly well. Nothing like a healthy adult would.

Stay Safe! :blowbubbles:

hey todd, i almost always trim the bottom 1/3 of the plant at the onset of flower or a day or 2 after starting 12/12.

when you do this you are focusing/stimulating more of the growth on the top 2/3 of the plant this really helps with yield to because of removing bud sites that dont get good lighting. If you have a stretchy strain, this will stunt growth usually for 1-4 days depending on how old the plants are also the genetics you are using.

(super cropping will slow down the stretch even more if done at the same time as trimming)

this really helps the side branches of bushier plants to become multiple main tops

how about some new pics?? based from your last pictures id just let them grow, maybe trim some of the bigger fan leafs to get more light at the lower buds as they grow, but they look ok, still kinda small but if healthy until the end they will show good results.

can you get them more light? or at least closer?

im waiting for some bluemystic now, i cant wait to grow her again....

Thanks Pheen! Its been 5 days since I noticed the flower sites, should i still trim it?
Considering how short they are, I don't think light penetration will be an issue.

I would however trim anything below the 4th or 5th node on each branch. Basically just the tiny stuff around the bottom of the stalk.

So I got a sweet deal on a bundle of lights (2-t5's and a hps) Heres a pic post trim under new light. The new light seems to be making a tremendous difference the cfl was good but the flowers are thicker already!!

Careful with the HPS... keep it a ways away from the plants and bring it down closer over a few days time.

HPS puts out a LOT more infra-red than fluoros and it will crisp your plants if you're not careful. The damage will show up in 24-72 hours.

Hi there Todd! Mind if I pull up a seat for this one?

Have grown a few Nirvana strains before and I'm very seriously looking at Blue Mystic for my next run. Sucks about the time restriction but you'll get a very respectable harvest to keep you going at least!

:yoinks:
Had a support bar bust causing the light to fall but luckily the ladies appear to be just fine. Notice in the 2nd pic that there is a white spot. That is sticky goo dripping from the flower!!!

What's your pH and nute str at?

Looking a bit overfed and possibly a slight pH issue. Other than that, they look like they're growing fairly well. :)

Cool beans!
