Been busy working, BUT I did start the LST process ( I think ) and lifted the lights up to about 3 inchs above the plant. I think she is really bushy and short =P the two stalks from the topping are really starting to grow possibly because of the healing process is over? I dunno :?:.

She is looking good bro. Yep she lookz like she ready ta gt to work for you and should start a
growth spurt. Sounds like your on the right track with the light. She will follow and get taller for you now..

Just a couple pointz on the training.

Your going to want to drill holes and tie down through the holes rather than tape.
Once that tape get old or wet it will come off and she is also going to pull on the line as she tries
to get straight.

Lookz like your tying the fan leaves. No real need for that other than to open the canopy
so the light can get to lower buds.

You want to wait till the 2 new stems get 3 or 4 inches tall and then tie them down
going opposite directions. It is the stems you tie down so it will have grow sites all
the way along each stem.

Once she gets going good you would follow the rim of your container around and around trying
to keep the canopy level.

Hope that makes sense.. lol

I added some of mine to try and show you what I mean.

I planted my Lady's on one side of the pot and pulled her main stem over the center to the opposite side of the pot, then tied any new stems down and across the center to the side.
Worked great.

This is one lady...lol

Seeds
400W Electronic Dimming Ballast
400W MH Bulb
400W HPS Bulb
6 Inch Cool Tube

**Here come the noob questions**

Using a cool tube how close should the light be to the top fo the plant? Right now its at 18 inchs which seems kinda high but I heard not to put it too close so the plant can take the change easily, also I have the ballast set at 75% should I just up it to 100% and raise the light? Thank you!

Looking Great.

Talk about a good start.

Use the hand under the light trick to see how far up.
With no air going through the hood, your not going to want to get too close.

I would so Dig getting seeds in the mail.
Kind of stuck making my own of now.
Lookz like a great mix.

Good move keeping the ballast out of the room.

Whatz your temps in there ?

I cant get the heat corrected, so growing is coming to a end. Waste of money ... should have thought about the temperature before doing anything else. If I'm able to get my grow tent/room situated then I'll be back
!
