Yeah I'm limited to 7 foot hight so light plus pot doesn't give me much to work with ...if I had 10 foot ceilings I would have grown her to be a monster...right now she may give me height issues. like I said first time in these rooms, im still dialing in the grow
i'm familiar with the height restraint. what i do (and why the one sativa dom is such a beast) is super crop in a very bdsm-like manner. i snap it, let it grow. when that gets out of hand, i snap all of those sideways. repeat until the end of stretch. you're just replicating a fallen tree branch or high wind scenario, they heal quickly and fine, and you're left with a monstrous bush that should have been ten feet high, but got bonsai balled into a flamingo bush. headed to it, if i don't post a pic, please remind me. i'm tired and stoned, and quite semi-reliable at the moment...
Yeah I'm a little to late for that now... I trained her to the best of my abilities... I'm wondering when I should start cutting out fan leaves... I'm thinking another week or 2. let her finish her strech before I start causing stress.. I've cut alot all ready to open spots up but she's still full
don't cut anything else. let it go for a few weeks. once you have a full canopy, you can see the chaff easily by comparison. you can thin up the underskirt at that point, but remember this; your fan leaves are the solar panels powering your 'full house' plant. don't remove unless it's absolutely necessary. buds do not need to be exposed to direct light to get enormous, as long as the giant fans that feed them are sticking out and getting light.
I absolutely agree with this. Don't go crazy mutililating your plants during flower, especially towards the middle or late flower. You don't want to stunt the plant and/or worse, make it go into "repair" mode. You will lose a lot of flowering time that your plants may or may not recover from. The first week of flower should be the last time you make any sort of cuts to the plant. And even that is pushing it. Leave all the fans leaves - to put it into perspective, your plant as a whole, is an engine. The leaves are the cylinder. The more cylinder you take away, the less power your engine produces = less vigor = less yield.
If i had a quarter for every guy who said that to me
He said six weeks until hed know. I was giving him a minimum until weight is good. I had a sativa "blend" run 16 weeks once. I get it.
Were four pages in. Comedy fail.
No fail, technically it's my second posting so ha ....... Lol just fuckin with ya
I liked it cus I cldnt be bothered reading the first three pages
You got mites bro?
The green bulb is for working with the plants when the lights are out. Plants wont wake up from green spectrum light so you can water or do whatever you need to while the plants sleep. From what ive heard it only takes three seconds of light to wake up the plants when you open a door and let light in.
Whoa thats awesome info, thanks
