Hows the cloning working for you simmy?
I decided to wait on the cloning , my friend said he would give me clones in a week or so and I've Bern debating on buying some more seeds , and nit to mention I already have 4 female plants already in the flower room , AMD an additional 4 seedlings that I'm experimemting with (12/12 from seed) so I will clone , its just not a priority right now and to b honest Im a little discouraged after killing my last group of clones

And a major reason I'm holding back on the cloning is I already have plants flowering and if I clone i would like to veg them some before I flower and since I have plants flowering already I wanna wait so I could start a fresh cycle for new seedlings and clones

Sounds like you are just like the rest of us, you wanna get those little fuckers to flower as quickly as possible. I have found the growing process is very good for teaching patience and is very Zen-like if you let it be.

So you want about an ounce per plant, that is definitely doable with 3 plants under a 400 watt lamp. I would flip them to veg when they are around 12 inches high, that will give you approximately 3 foot plants when you are ready for harvest. General rule of thumb is 2/3 growth after flipping to flower, but that can vary according to strain.

As for your area not being 100% light proof, this is very, very important when you flip to flowering. You will want to make sure can you get it as light proof as you can, because any light during the dark periods will fuck things up.

I see your plants seem to be curling or 'tacoing', how close is your light to the plants? Also, they seem to be a little plastic looking, what type and how strong of nutrients are you using? Either way they are looking decent so don't get discouraged or frustrated, we all have issues to deal with when learning to grow. I think you will be hard pressed to find anyone that gets it completely right every time and doesn't ever have issues, that motherfucker is a liar!

Good luck and keep it green!
i for one agree simply because im 8 days in on my first grow and i can finnaly sit back throw on some jams and read allong to what other people have to say. as to where before i was impatiently always checking on it to make sureeverything was ok.
its god damn great!!!!

It's even better when u already have bud and u can go in and watch ur plants grow without actually needing the bud at that moment . And one word of advice ... If at all possible u should try and veg more plants while ur flowering .. its gonna suck when u harvest ur plant and u have to wait another 3 or 4 months to veg, flower , dry and cure ur next plamt ... So if u could try to get an additional light or veg some plants outside while the weather still permits

Sims doing the damn thing.

You gotta light leak? Or you think the hermying is from genetics?

How many different plants total have the nuts?

Nah , no light leaks. I'm pretty sure its genetics due to it being bagseed and all. And that's the only plant with the sacks so far , I've been picking them off daily. Hopefully it doesn't pollinate the others.. but since I didn't pay for these seeds I'm not too worried , ill try not to let it happen but if it does .. so what . As long as the bud isn't horrible ill b happy

that little plant that didnt open sims you can probably ditch that unless you open those two leaves up the cotyledon leaves. Theres a gooey shit in the seed that sometimes makes the cotyledon leaves stick together those two little round leaves if you open those up the little leaves inside the true cannabis leaves should start growing inbetween it might be too late for that one i have had to do it a few times too seeds that didnt open up like sprouted and they had a shell helmet that didnt come off picked it off and spread em and it grew. I got some TGA stuff that just hitting flower right now there RIpped bubba Kush, Qush, and chernobyl. veggin like 6 other TGA strains his shit looks bomb man im gonna see tho.

I'm from the hood too and it's good to see one of my own make good. Props Sims on your success. My first grow was shitty too, my 2nd one is going great and the next shit I got up my sleeves is gonna blow both out of the water. Can't wait to have a harvest like yours. Peace and 1

C cat wats good!!! Been too long, and merry late xmas to u & urs aswell. As far as the bud porn... mine wont look too sexy. I just topped my girl so she's in recovery mode right now, I find that it is very effective to top while growing indoors, I can maximise light effeciency. Outdoors I don't c any benefitt tho. But now that I'm on the topic.. I have a question... I just topped my plant . This is the first time I waited so long to in the veg state to top. The plant is about 2 months old and about 3 feet tall, it reached a point where it stopped developing new leaves and branches. It was only getting taller. So I topped to maximise light efficiency and to create addittional branching. Now I accidently took off a side shoot while pinching off the main head. . But besides that do u think that this will help the growth of new branches? And I forgot to mentioned that the plant is already mature and showing sex. .. not flowering just showing sex. .. and how ling do u think I should let new growth continue to grow b4 kicking her into flower, I was thinking another week or two. . But I might give it longer, I have finally mastered the art of patience . And I wanna get the max yield out of my plant but I still have to keep height limitations in mind. .. my ceiling is about 7 feet tall and my plant is about 3 feet already
