Thanks bro good advice. I do have a place where I can trim and dry would just have to put a lock on the door, weed is legal on October 17th and we're allowed 4 plants so I may not have to worry about the smell but I'm starting to think I may need 5-6 weeks veg instead of 4 so I may dry them at the other spot to save 2 weeks of tent space.

Legal or Not ,I still would not wanting my Neighbors knowing what I was doing.You can bet Money on that info of you growing getting to some Gutter Rat,that has no Morals.Your Neighbor tells a friend ,that friend tells another friend ,and I'm sure you know the rest .It will be Legal here soon,but you can bet money but they make it hard for us to grow,They will bring in all kinds of Safety checks,More so in a Apartment grow.Im growing in a illegal Situation,but my family are all in the Gardening and building trade,so I know 100% that my grow is safe.Electrical Fire Extinguishers,my friends think I'm mad ,but better to be safe than sorry .

I'm sure that things will go good ,what ya plan to grow.
I used to grow Bubbleberry(Blueberry X Bubblegum) when I was living in my Apartment ,Also a lot of Pyramid Seed strains King Tut, along with a few of there strains .And it stunk,but like I say I never had a Problem in till pruning ,I lived on a upper level so just Vented straight out the window.Air was pulled in from the same window opersite sides ,they did great too.

I'm running Northern Lights and Blueberry right now, plan on doing Critical Kush and Blue Cheese both by Barneys Farm next.

I plan on topping once more so that will give me 4 mains per plant so 24 total. Do you think I should lollipop or supercrop??? What do you think will maximize yield, I have to consider air inside the tent it's gonna be tight and I don't want mold or rot so I'm leaning towards lollipop 24 tops is a lot right.

i have never lollipop'd anything. i use my lower popcorn buds for making hash.

super cropping most definitely will increase bud size, but i have really only used super cropping to stop plants from stretching.

i have some good experience scrogging and it def helps yield. but it is a lot of maintenance.

topping helps too, but you've done that. if your plants have any side branching at all, you will have many more bud sites.

sorry i can't help more.

If you have a good amount of circulation (powerful inline fan pulling air from the bottom tent screens, passing that air through the plants, and exhausting it out of top vents), you should be okay. You'll want to rustle the leaves around a couple times a day, and uncover any leaves that are lying directly on others. That's where you'll get moisture buildup.

24 is a lot. I think you might shock them and possibly even turn them hermie. It's not going to hurt leaving some lower growth, especially if you have a hard time reaching it. It's not like you're squeezing out every bit of juice by removing as much unneeded growth as you can. Just do some supercropping to control the height. It's actually better for you to do less technical stuff right now, and just learn the art of growing. Experience will get you the best grows, and doing inexperienced things, like removing too much growth at the wrong time, can severely effect your yield.

Ok I won't top again and let the branches develop thanks guys.

These are mine. I'm not saying my way is the absolute correct way, as everyone has their own styles of growing. I trimmed the lower stuff in the last week if veg, then once more, a week or so into flower. I think this is my "Goldylocks" zone.

Definately makes wanna look into scrog

I really didn't do much scrogging here. I spread a few branches apart, but didn't do any weaving. When they were young, I topped them twice, a week apart. Then, I supercroped the taller ones, to make a nice canopy. I could've vegged a week or two more and filled out the canopy, but I like doing it like this because it's not a lot of work, and it doesn't take as long to grow. When I scrog, it's constant work, at least for a few weeks. Like with many other things, the more you put into something, the more you get out of it. So you can scrog, which will require extra work, and extra electricty (because you have to veg longer), but you'll have a bigger yield. I get more than enough for myself, when I grow like this, especially when I've got the dwc going.

Happy growing, dude

THere is a scrog thread at the top op of the advanced growing section.

I need to change my off hrs from 12-6am to 11-5pm any suggestions on how to do it with the least stress on the plants?
@Roger A. Shrubber

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

one hour isn't that big a change, i just switched from 8 am till 9 pm, to 8 pm till 9 am, because of the heat.
just take an hour off the timer while the lights are out, one hour for one day isn't going to hurt anything

unless he made a mistake, he is talking about an 11 hours difference.

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

oops, guess you're right, must have misread that....
then give them the extra time as dark, a double day period is too much, you lose a days growth, but it's the safe way, plants won't herm from an extra few hours of dark, but they might from an extra days light

 

[New Age United]

Ok yes I did fuck up I lesson learned. The lights should always be off during the day.

IF your grow room is hard to totally blackout like mine, you might have to program your hours so the sun never interrupts your dark cycle.

Ok well the tent does leak light in a few spots but it's pretty much pitch black in there. I have to keep the lights off in the afternoon it was too warm in there yesterday I'm afraid of stressing them out.
