14 days from seed, 10 from sprout..

IMG_20110221_173709.jpg

*400wMH + 125w (blue)* -Veg
&
*400wHPS + 125w (red)*- Flower

Due to time restraints, I can only veg these girls for a maximum of 5wks.. that leaves 3wks left for growth.

For highest yields should I scrog? top? supercrop? advice pleasee!?

Id say try the SCROG... Just try and keep it far enough away that watering is still easy... and you may have to weave a lil longer into flower. Typically in soil you want to start weaving then flower... but... Fuck it!

I also have foxfarms nutes- growbig, tigerbloom..

When should I start using nutes? how often? and how much do i mix per gallon, in lamens terms please.. no numbers like 2-3-3-2, thats useless to me lol

I dont wana go overboard, just an extra kick to beef these girls up..

5 plants in a scrog is really going to spread out. It is great if you have the room. When I scrog, I lst them as they grow so that I can fill up the screen.

I would start with 1/4 the recommended dosage per the MFG and bring it up slowly until you find the ideal feeding strength. Different strains are going to react differently or have their own needs. That is the downside of 5 different strains.

yeah thats good thinking, I was planning on starting at half strength but less is probably better.. I just read the feeding schedule and it says Grow Big 2tsp/gal-feeding 2x a week for the 3rd week.. then it bumps up to 3tsp/2xwk through wk4. Should I flush at wk4, before flower?

I will switch to flower in wk5, and use Tiger Bloom 2tsp/gal throughout.. If I wanted to incorporate a sweetener, would I decrease the nutes?

Thats what I like to hear.. I have a space of about 5'Lx3'Wx5'H

LST or Supercrop is what im between...

orrrr if i top, i could root the cutting from each plant and flower that separately for fun..

haha what now?

Dont top!... Itll slow growth for up to a week and you need all the veg you can get.

Just weave and a few weeks into flower clean up under screen and put those cuttings in some rapid rooters and under small light 24 hours a day

No, you don't need to change nutes because of adding sweetener, be mindful of your PH though. It could change after adding sweetener (molasses).

I have found super cropping helpful when height is limited or faced with an uneven canopy. Scrog & lst is the way to go as you will not lose any veg time.

Sounds great. Yeah, all that makes sense.. the topping and supercropping slowing the growth. So LST it is.. I've done it before just didnt get the results I was looking for, but never in a scrog.

Mind you only 5 weeks for veg, that leaves 3 solid weeks for growth. Keeping my fingers crossed... cross yours too!

When should I start tying branches down? I plan on moving these girls into big buckets maybe 5gal and then it will be much easier to tie down branches as opposed to the growbags theyre in now.

Start your Lst when there about 10inches... I personally like to wait til flower is about to start and tie over top two branches then just let em go... try to not do too much training, it can stress a plant to hermie

What I do is wait for the plants to start growing up into the grid and I use zip ties to tie the branches down and lay them across the top of the grid to spread them out and get even coverage. It is simple to do and easy to maintain.
