First Attempt Pics Attached Input very much welcome :)

[robert2k2]

Hey all

wont go in to much detail as pictures talk for them selves.

600w hps for flower
400w metal halid for preflower veg
300w cfl for mother tent
11Litre pots using pure canna coco and ionic grow and bloom

one real question that i would like to know is the plants below where all manipulated i.e topped trimmed ect ect

i notice alot of shit at the bottoms that has not matured. my questions would be:

A) would it be best to drop pot size and grow them straigh like xmas tress to allow me to fit more in?

b) would u just harvest and use the screggle for bubble hash? or should i double harvest?

any other input very much welcomed id liek to know if this is poor/average/good/very good for a first attempt.

previous to this i had a wooden shoe box expecting miracles and ended up out of pocket ^^

Wow first off nice plants great job! As far as the bottoms go....well I personally would have defoliated some of the fan leaves to allow light to the bottoms...with that being said how car are you into flower? Most people who want to grow out the bottoms defoliate at day 21 and 45...if you are well past 45 and closer to harvest then a double harvest may be your best bet....or like you said hash it and give your self room for the next grow sooner!!!

Here is a prime example of defoliation before I have the haters chime in


I like to pinch the steams off close to the leaf and let the plant absorb the rest till it falls off in a week or so

Thanks for the reply buzz appreciate it

i did read prior to switching 12/12 that defoliation was a good idea if you end up with a jungle which i did.

my problem was the strain info for freeze cheese 89 says that it does not like any type of manipulation or stress so to speak and someone who i have known for many years that has previously gone through the strain did say that was correct and it would impact upon final results.

i did refrain from it all veg period which was about 3 weeks then topped and fimmed with eager fingers and then for around 50 days of flowering they was left (these are said to finish up on 55 days ill give em 62 to let trichs amber up a tad more which will put me in to harvest on 18/6 ) but i have removed all larger fans. has been like it for around 8 days now i did it in the efforts of hoping they would atleast swell a tad but tbh ive not noticed a difference at the moment.

i do agree ill probably just use it for bubble and get my next lot in.

in regards to my next lot i have alot sat around that im having a kind of self debate with myself lol

im unsure as to go with the 6 again on 3 week veg in 11 litre pots

or

to use as many smaller pots ranging from 1-4 litre let them all go naturally no topping fimming etc. remove scrap from bottoms and majority of larger fans then flip when about 12-15"

i figured if going the latter and i end up with to many and to busy it would atleast give me the ability to remove what would look to be the worst so to speak

does this even make sense/possible?

The later would close to the SOG or (sea of green, Dutch method) and if your not limited to the amount of plants you can have then it's the fastest way to grow the most bud....best part you can just skip the veg period and go straight to flower....

Maybe I was unclear before but that was 21 and 45 days into flowering. So if your at 50, go for it! People will tell you not too and for outdoors I agree...but indoors is a whole different story. Read up on it if you want but you will be amazed by the results! Try on just one if you want...wait 4 days and then you can thank me!

Those two pics above were only 4 days apart!

Thanks Buzz, excellent read

defiantly going to consider making it part of the schedule, as well as maybe one a week before flipping should help loads.
