Congrats Meta!
Thanks dawg! I'm totally obsessed with growing now, as it's almost all I think about while I'm not working, and about half the time I AM working...lol
hey meta, girls are looking tight!! my high thoughts on lst and trimming... i did my second lst/trim session on my ladies yesterday and man, they exploded with growth today. just be very selective about which leaves you cut because those are gonna be important during flowering too... so if you're able to expose new growth by tucking a leaf under another branch or bending/lst or by cutting just part of it, try to go for that... but then again i'm doing a "crazy" lst, lol so maybe different techniques apply. man sooo stoned right now lol. i switched my ladies tonight to 12/12, very excited!
Oh yeah, totally keeping all my fan leaves on Lefty, she's the LST'd one. I've actually been doing the same thing you are, tucking leaves under to expose nodes and such, and I'm not gonna cut her. It's Righty that I'm thinking about cutting, mostly because I chose NOT to LST her. This is still a little test grow and I'm following through to the end. I'm not into topping my plants, and wanted to see which I prefer, LST'd or not...and I gotta say when it comes to CFL's, i think I'm all about LST!
Dude the best bud is ALWAYS the bud that YOU grew! lol! It's free & it's as if it gets you more high than shit that was "storebought." Anyway I love the setup you've got...VERY similar to mine. I built an aeroponic system on the cheap last year and it worked great. I just started my 2nd grow about a week or so ago using my last batch of Medi Bud and Mazar x Afghan seeds and I hope they turn out half as good as Righty & Lefty lol...anyway I'm looking at getting either some autos from marijuana-seeds.nl, since I've ordered from them twice before and had an excellent experience both times, OR, ordering some shit that is never seen in my area...something along the lines of Strawberry Cough, Aurora Indica, or Blueberry...
Right on, brother! Lefty and Righty were the last of my bagseeds...that is, till my co-worker just GAVE me his bagseeds...God I love people who don't grow. That and just recently I scored a seed in 2g of Shake my girl bought from a dispensary, so I KNOW that's a good medical seed. I'm gonna order through attitude soon, and Aurora Indica is one of the strains I planned on ordering. I've only run auto's outside, but i might pick up some to see how they do under CFL's. I just wish I knew more people around me who grew so we could do a SEED SWAP. Anyway, keep me posted on the progress, boss!
lookin real good homie. nice setup!!
Thanks dude, i''ve been ading to it little by little, now I'm pretty happy with it at the moment, just might pick up a couple more 42w actual's and trade them out with some of the 23w lights to boost lumens, but I think I like my light placement for now.
