Day 24

The plants are continuing to grow very quickly and I'm now tucking and plucking every three days, I tuck then let it grow back for two days then tuck again.

I will tuck them one last time before switching to 12/12 in four days time, the plants will have been vegging for four weeks (28 days) by then. You may be thinking the plants aren't big enough yet, but trust me they will easily out grow this space using this system. If I let them veg for any longer then when they start flowering there won't be any way for me to get in the tent!! The roots are also coming along nicely.

Day 33

Day 4 Flower

The plants were vegged for 28 days in total, then given 24 hours darkness. They have now had 4 days of 12/12 and are starting to explode with new growth, and I'm still tucking the growing tips under to spread the plant out.

I started to tuck and pluck before I remembered I needed to take some photo's!! So as you can see I already started at the front!



As you can see there is a big difference between now and nine days ago. The tucking under the screen is encouraging the plants to grow outwards instead of upwards, and the removal of the bigger fan leaves allows the light to penetrate to small growing tips which would normally be shaded. These will then grow rigorously and can be tucked under and spread out.

This was the plants 9 days ago as a comparison:


I start tucking from the front, removing big blocking leaves and finding new holes for growing tips. It can be quite daunting at first but you will soon get into the swing of it, and your plant will look something like this:



It looks like someone has just attacked them with a strimmer!! It may look like carnage when you finish but in just a couple of days it will be growing upwards again. I tend to tuck and then allow it 2 days to grow back and the tuck again, this is obviously strain dependent as is the length of time you continue to tuck.

Day 6 Flower

Just 2 days after their tuck and pluck and they are back to normal and growing happily like nothing ever happened.











Time for some more tucking, and for those who like it enjoy the root porn!!

Day 41

Day 12 Flower

I took some photo's with the lights off to show how lush and green they are, the plants really seem to like this system. The plants are starting to fill the space nicely now and are touching the walls of the tent, I took a couple of shots with the lights on which I think makes it easier to see the potential budsites.

No sign of proper flowers yet but they are still growing fast, and having to be tucked under. I think I stopped tucking about now and let them grow for a bit as you need some upwards growth from the screen to grow your bud on.

Bit leafy looking, Neo.

Very nice. Looking really healthy.

 

[neo12345]

Thanks Growan.

Those damn leaves, you keep pulling them off and they just keep growing back again!!

 

[Growan]

Bastard foliage... I've been treating all my cuttings to poor lighting, lst and removal of 'greedy' big leaves. When they finally get their full light quota, I think they'll love it. They look a bit like cabbages waiting to sprint!

I've been treating all my cuttings to poor lighting,

LED or CFL? lol

Day 43

Day 14 Flower

Still spreading out, the growing tips are changing colour now and showing the first signs of flowering.







For the root porn lovers I think these were the last pics as it was difficult to get the camera in there now, didn't want to risk dropping it in my nutrient solution!!





Happy roots, happy plant.

Day 46

Day 17 Flower

The plants have pretty much filled out the whole tent now, and are starting to bud nicely. There is a prize for anyone who guesses the number of colas.

Haha, hows it going JT? How is your grow, haven't seen any updates on your journal?

 

[jtdubz]

I've actually been quite busy :/ i started flower on the 15th the lower leaves are yellowing I think due to mag deficiency but who knows ill try and get some pictures up later. I've been following yours though. I gotta get something like what your using. Looks quite easy
