Need advice on finishing a monster

hello

i grow a monster plant it takes a whole 4x4x6 tent and i do mean the whole thing ..............i am going to keep it so i might as well learn from it
details
600 hps light cooltube .......jerry rigged fan for cool tube with a 10 inch fan so part of the wind blows on outter glass
dwc...autoflower strain (it should of never gotten like this it was a small yeild strain)
day 55


since this is the adv section i post this here

1 should i trim up the lower parts and thin her out inside

2 the main stalk has taken some light damage do to the fact it is to fucking big should i remove this to adviod stressing and possible hermi

3 ..........i tried a pinch for supper cropping on a stalk the mass on the stalk was increased with in 3 days to have a knot .......should i do this to the rest

4 with a plant this massive i am replacing a gallon of water a day to the system been adding one gallon of feed to water ..........does someone have a better thought or plan to fallow

5 should i think about using a desolvable feed like beastie bloom ........or should i increase the flowering from the GH flora product line to what lvl
current at 5 ml grow 10 ml micro and 15 ml bloom per gallon

My GH Chart for The Floraseries States
Aggressive Bloom -Grow= 0 ml -micro= 10ml -Bloom= 20ml Per Gallon
I Add 5ml of Floranectar (Add Flavor Here)per gallon I use pineapple rush
2ml Per gallon Each of Big Bud & Bud Candy.
Just watch your ppm while adding them. I have gotten as high as 1350ppm without problems. But I am nuts about keeping my PH @ 5.8
And just because your using a 5 gallon bucket doesn't mean to add 5 gallons worth of nutes!!!

when i started it i messed up and fallowed the RDWC plan not the drain to waste of the Flora sears starter pack .............for 5 weeks and this was the size of 1/3 of the tent i went scanning on here and found a posting about GH flora a good plan to fallow (one i listed) ............so i have been since then the ppm when the water is fresh was reading around 1230

but that does not help me with what i asked or listed

Wow, Massive plant for the closet!!!!! I would definitely trim some of that under foilage. It's not going to get sufficient lighting with just a top light. You could try some LST, tie that top branch down out of the light.

ok i never had to trim something like this .............is there any advice on how much to take out or what should be left ..........i honestly figured at this time it would get some yellowing or sickly looking lowers i would know to trim off but they are still dark green looking good (had a few wind burned ones from the intake )


i am going to have to take that top off .........any advice about doing this (should i use a little tar to seal the top like with tree limbs)

dude u have no idea i have it in a digital ballast i could take and put in a 1000w bulb (i am just scared of what it will do as i got no room) a 4x4x6 tent one plant is touching all sides of the tent walls and almost to the ceiling ) i move the lite off to the side because the top was pushing on wing reflector

if one of u was close with a van and a bigger room i would split the yeild with ya ahhhhhh

You posted that you were running DWC. I posted it because your nute # looked off.

Take a little bit each day, Once she starts to flower STOP. Cut the low suckers branches. and a few of the fan leaves.

Get some Bushmaster, It stops the growth. People use it for flowering to stop the stretch. Cause when she starts to flower shes gonna grow.

You'll have a shit load of bud when shes done!!!
Good Luck

#1 - if its not getting any light you should remove it imo.
#2 - leave it imo, support if needed.
#3 - your call.
#4 - float valve and an external tank?
#5 - loose the grow in last half of flower. Run micro to bloom ratio of 1:2 at ppm levels your plants like.

Happy growing!

Nice plant. Now's not the time to screw it up by following conventional forum "wisdom".

1. Leave all the leaves on. They are NOT suckers.

2. If it hasn't already started it will soon - premature leaf yellowing/necrosis and/or chlorosis due to the use of the bloom foods and a consequent drop in potential yield. Shit can them and give your plants plenty of N until harvest.

3. You've found out the hard way why I don't like tents.

4. Top. You have no choice, you must manage your plants considering the restrictions of your tent. No need to seal the cuts. It can actually do more harm than good and only persists because someone has something to sell http://puyallup.wsu.edu/~Linda Chalker-Scott/Horticultural Myths_files/Myths/Wound sealer.pdf

Good luck

trim the very bottom branches off. the ones that are very tint. and after the plant starts to get buds half inch around. start pulling fan leaves off , yes pull the leaves off , not all of them just the ones that are blocking the light to the lower buds. this will help in yield. and if the plant has any issues with nutrients at all , then don't pull the leaves off. my technique is for people that have every thing dialed in .

fill a bedroom with the cuts you take off and do a SOG, should fill a normal size room...lol

Nice plant. But you're going to have nothing but problems out of it.
1- you'll never be able to get sufficient light to it.
2- you're gonna have probs with ventilation which is gonna make it prone to mold problems.
3- what you gonna do when she stretches?
It's fun to grow big plants, but you have to keep them the size appropriate for the size of grow space.

hey i never wanted it to grow like this ...............i ran a dwc to see what the different pattern would be with a water based system compared to a soil base

it does prove that with the right supply of water the plants explode ............this was a small strain i got 2 oz off the sister in the soil i was figuing on maybe 4 at most 6

not a plant like this ...........i honestly did not think the plant would grow anywhere like this since it is a autoflowering strain .........it gets to 30 35 days and flips to flower .......nope 47 50th day goes into flower after i change completely to a 12/12 light timer


this was my first attempt with hydro systems...........got a micro pore stone for small bubbles and a 3 gallon a min air pump
that is what i grow ...............image what i could do with a strain that is listed as 350 grams to 450 grams from one plant

1 do not trim untill i see them getting sick or yellow on lower part ...............kk got it

2 remove the top will do that (any method i should look up) .........and bushmaster to stop strech (thanks i will place order for it now)

3 ok i will pinch away (pinch one side turn 90 degrees and pinch one more time correct)

4 for a outer tank does the bottom of the outter tank need to be at the water lvl ( so it transfer the whole tank before need to refill tank so feed mix in tank does not go off balance )

5 completely knock the out the grow from the feed once hits middle flower ...........just so u know the micro has N rating of 5-0-4
