First Grow

Looking good. I just flipped mine two days ago.

theres varying opinions on that.

I wait till flower stretch stops then i take off the ties... be aware when buds fatten up you'll prob have to support them with string/stakes etc.

lst delivers auxins to other branches and that is a plant hormone that will make the underneath branches shoot up when it flower stretches... she is gonna stretch any time now.. just you wait.. youll walk in one day and be like "damn"

She's 25 today!

Yeah, you've got to consider your environment when you decide how to train your plants. I've got some outside that I've gotta either LST to get bushy, or trim like a MF to get a few main colas. These are fairly large sativa doms in 10 gal cloth pots. (custom organic soil)
Hmm...

I'm digging the LST because I've seen the growth from it at this point, but here's the thing. She's super bushy now. Do I need to trim some leaves off??

No. Leaves are your factories for growing flowers.

If you're worried about undergrowth being airy not dense buds just harvest the top buds and give the bottom of the plant better light and a few extra days to fatten up at harvest.

NEVER TRIM FAN LEAVES !!, your plant will get really stressed and it will shock your plant and slow growth maybe even effecting your yield. If you find the fan leaves are covering bud sites then tuck them behind the nearest branch to allow the light in

This also helps !

Well I'll take a picture with my wifes camera tomorrow ,of everything so it can be seen well. Getting some Cal Mag tomorrow to hopefully fix this issue of the spots on the leaves. I'll also be grabbing a general organics go box. Seems to be decent reviews on them and it seems cheaper than alot of shit Im seeing. Also it seems to come with everything. I saw big buds and stuff at my local hydroponics store but I cannot for the life of me figure what I need for a grow. Do I just need 1 thing for veg and one nutes for flower? And if so what's the difference between all the types?

Biobizz is a very good inexpensive alternative, its just grow and bloom.. simple!

I'm already using the GO nutes. But next run I'll pick up some bio bizz

Look forward to it

Go for it ! , i personally found top max to be a waste of money and no need to transplant from light mix to all mix soil,, just start your seedlings in your final pots in biobizz all mix then simply use bio grow for veg and bio bloom for flower...... maybe some epsom salts in rare circumstances.

Beware of pet hair when you flower.
Everything sticks to sticky buds...

Luckily she has no direct contact except when I pull her put for pics. I'll do my best during flower to keep cat away. Also she's really grown up today? I feel like she's definitely shot up an inch or so today

It's also really easy to transfer hair from clothing to buds. I've got two dogs and three cats and when I'm going to be around flowering plants, I use a lint roller first. You know, the tape roll things. They actually work great!
