The vertical growth will stop soon and they will start to fatten up. You might want to look into super-cropping it's the perfect time for you to start. It will help the lower branches get more light and help the top buds grow horizontally instead of vertically.

Super-cropping in veg and in flower are 2 very different things. The branches are very flexible almost rubbery during veg, they will usually bounce right back in place if you bend them. In flower they become much more stiff and ridgid, if you bend them correctly until you hear it snap it will form an elbow and the buds will start to grow horizontally. It will solve your height problems and help produce more buds. Here's an example:

I'm still learning about cropping them down and trying to form an even canopy. I have been pulling the taller main branches so it exposes the center more, starting to fill in nicely, for a first timer I think Im doing ok...

A banana pill. Just boil it up it's got a LOT of potassium in it.

Thanks..

Was just looking through some other options. I have FloraNova Grow & Bloom, but was considering using an organic mix for flowering. I read about boiling a couple banana peels and mixing that with water.

I think I figured out my problem now, they responded well to being flushed the other day. And I am pretty sure the issues I was having was from an unbalanced Ph nute solution. Guess I should of waited to get my Ph meter before trying to add nutes..

When do you count flowering days? Is it from 12/12 or from the time its actually starts flowering??


PS
Never realized how drastically nutes throw off Ph... Definitely was my issue before, added 1/2 the recommended to a gallon of Ph 7.0 and it dropped it to 5.5...
Guess thats why I kept seeing issues if I added nutes...

I start counting from 12/12. As in that is the day the flowering (photoperiod) began. I also am going to go out on a limb and say that's what most people do also.

And yeah, nutes can be quite acidic. This is why you should add the nutrients to your water, and then pH up or down to get the proper pH balance. I literally have to add 10-15mL of pH up to my water when I do a heavy Fox Farms feeding. My pH goes from 7.8 to 5.1 between regular water, and water with nutes in it!

Yeah was surprised at how low it dropped my Ph... Been on straight water for a bit, and the Ph of my runoff was fine so I added nute today ph'd to 6.8

Makes sense in most pics I see at 10 days - 2 weeks......

Took about a week for the males to show, and the fems are showing now at about 10 - 12 days...

LOL, correct. I just worded it wrong. I wait until I can see the white hairs, or any evidence of flower
Click to expand...
I knew what you meant :). :lol: but wanted to clarify.

Yeah I'm just too lazy to look every day and shit waiting for that. I just note the day I set the timer, water every four days, and start paying attention around 3 weeks later..

Haven't been on for a while, just starting up my new grow box, got the 2 Berry Bombs in the DWC buckets, just need to find some money for the flowering LED, got a 90w for veg so that's sorted.

If only my nutes were more acidic! My PH is 7.6 with them added to my 7.2 water... need some PH down I think.

I start from the day of switching, no pre-flowers or anything I just assume they'll be ladies 'cause I only use feminized seeds :)
