LSTing my plant

i topped it twice and tied down a shit load of branches.. Did I do something wrong? It kind of seems like it's not growing ideally- but on the other hand it seems that all the leaves are able to get direct light.

I was wondering if I should untie some branches to let it grow taller?

I'm growing inside a bucket with another 1/2 bucket on top with the lights in it.

Where does she get her ventilation from? As long as she gets lighting from above, she shouldn't have any problem reaching up for it. That's the nature of a plant. Ventilation and overhead lights should make life easier I would think. Some things with growing canibus are simple. We always try to help too much. Just let them be the tough rugged weed that they are. They will love you for it. Good luck.

I'd say there to far down in the dude untie them then let them grow a bit till there not inside then tie them down PEACE

Here mine months ago

I have a computer fan blowing in from the very top of the bucket directly onto the plant. I have a directional 6500k 23w CFL, 2 2700k 9watt leds, and 2 2700k18w cfls on it. I have a hole in the bottom of the bucket for the air to be pushed out. I must say it's working better than I imagined.
I just got a thermostat today and it's 78f so I guess that's not bad?

I'm kind of worried about when to turn the lights to 12/12 cuz I hear plants double in size overall and space is an obvious issue in a bucket lol.

Thx for the input

Yeah, how urs has a main stem, mine has 3 stems that are basically the same size. I guess where I topped it twice lol. Idk I guess we will see what happens. Nice looking plant. Got any current pics?

Ye man

did you just up-pot her? looks like it, she's building a root system when she's done she'll grow again...she's looking light I would up the feeding a bit and add some cal mag..... p.s. next time don't repot her so close to the dirt. give her room to breath. you'll get rot touching the soil.

Yeah I did just uppotted her and I think u are exactly right.

Also if u don't mind me asking.. if I switched out all the CFL lights with 10watt led lights, would it be more productive?
I am unsure about the lights that aren't facing directly towards the plant(on left in the picture) because the cfls direct a lot of light out the side. But on the other hand, I hear leds are way better than cfls?

Here's a picture to give a better idea what I'm talking about.

I just got a 4-pack of these 10watt 2700k LEDs:



Anyways, thx for the support man. This is my first grow and I just wanna try to do it the best I possibly can

I use a t5 ho fixture for veg and I'm pretty happy with it. They work great and are low watts with little heat. I can't compare it to either cfl or led bulb.I always lst but I never top. Not sure why tbh. I keep mine about 10 in off the soil and keep it low all through veg.. these normally turn into a 3.5x3.5 plant carrying 6 to 8 zips

I have noticed that the temp inside the bucket I am growing in has been getting up to 84 now and then. Idk how to keep it from getting that high. Is it a really big deal or will it be ok?

Thx

lol ive been HSTing the F out of these they are about a month old now They are 5 inches or so and each have about 8 heads each lol Been Bonsai the f out of them. Gonna put a net on top of the fan soon. the one in the middle is a Thc bomb i just trimmed it for the first time im gonna let it catch up a bit before i start topping it.
