1st grow, 1 week into 12/12! pic's...

[inked]

Heres my first attempt at growing. Theres 3 different strains and i've used 3 different growing techniques to see which works best for me. 4 have been fimmed, 2 have been topped, 1 for 2 colas and the other for 4, and 2 are growing natural. There in 5gal pots and growing in canna professional soil using bio canna nutes under to 600w lights. How they doing? Any critisism good or bad welcome.

oops....not sure why all pics are on there sides

looks pretty good.
they could use some trimming though.
there is dead growth on the bottom as well as growth which will not produce and is just sucking energy from the plant.

thanks mate....wouldnt be like this had it not been for this forum!! ive done alot of behind the scenes "research" on here and found it a big help! forgot to add, there all from seed and the 3 strains are...Skunk No1, Cheese and Afghani No1...i have also had ago at some LST on a couple of them!! cant wait for the next 1 allready lol goin bigger and better hopefully

how much should i remove/trim? i was thinking about removing the tops when there ready and putting the lower branches back under??

 

[inked]

Should i be feeding the plants nutes everytime i water them? or should i alternate between, nutes, water, nutes, water etc? i've been feeding them nutes according to the bottle measurements everytime i've watered them since they were babies and it doesn't seem to have harmed them? theve been under 12/12 for a week now and not much has happened, just gettin taller!! there 60inch now!! is this normal?? really dont wanna mess this up man

I usually water every 2-3 days giving nutes twice and then one day of just regular water. During flowering you dont need to water as much as the veg stage. Stop giving nutes 2 weeks before harvest to flush out all the chemicals. Looking good, you should start to see some buds coming in

Thanks mate, i'm using bio canna nutes, do they still need to be flushed as there organic??

 

[c5rftw]

nice. i see you topped. its gonna be a good plant

 

[inked]

thanks mate, i tried both topping for 2 main colas, and for 4 too, i also fimmed a few to see which works best for future reference. I'm just trying to find info on the bio canna range and to see what feeding schedules people use with it, as i've been using it at full strength since they were babies with no nute burn or anything and so far so good!! just wondering if this will have an overall effect and if i should slow it down a little and maybe give them water only occasionally?? their in 5gallon pots and i give them roughly 600ml each a day which they seem to be loving

 

[c5rftw]

topping always "works" better, IMO, because it is fool-proof.. fimming is a mystery... i really think its just luck because i have yet to see a reliable way of how to do this. since every plant is different, this makes all the much harder to perfect/explain. i have yet to have a successful fim, but all my toppings have gone perfectly

looking good.good luck on the rest of your grow.

this is male, right??

 

[esilva]

looks like it, def do not see any hairs in site. Must of started out as spurs

 

[esilva]

I to am gonna start canna nutes for flower but in soil so the terra version. I hear good things about this dutch nute company. Im guessing your doing hydro setup?
