Newbie needing help!

Some pics

Ya mate definitely top them ..your plants are very healthy so just give it a week and flower them..top them as close as you can to the other ones the closer you get an even canopy the more efficent your light will be...hope this helps mate ....i.l take a look in every day see how your getting on ...happy growing scarecrow77

You should try and root the tops they be nice plants started under m/ h

Bit nervous about topping these girles.could use some instruction if u don't mind crow

Only got the bare essentials bio biz all mix soil could I put the seedling in it

Go down 5 leaf sets from top including top ..now they look to be longer than the ones above..c were im at...thats about the height of the rest ..get your cliper or sissers and cut right above those 2 longish nodes..if your still not sure put somthing were you think and send pic...

If that is all you have there's no harm and trying..it ..should be ok ..remember the clones will be hardy there the same age as the mother plant...you need rooting powder ..gel...keep in high humidity if you can ..you can use somthing like a clear pot with 1 R 2 holes to vent it ...it will root much faster that way..hope this helps mate ..

Make sure when your taking the clone from the top 4-5 inches will do fine ..leave the 2 top set of leaves and strip the rest below it ..now the leafs that are left on it snipe 1/3 of the leaf tips off..by doing dat your making the clone root faster your tricking it to survive and grow roots faster...you just took half the nutes it had stored..if you look it up you.l get a better under standing...i don't know if im making sense or not mate .scarecrow77

Yea mate topped one of them to c how I get on and although the mother looks ok(noticing good growth were I topped)the little ones not going to make it.i didnt have any gel or anything so I made a jiffy up for it.planted it the best I could but within a couple of hour it's flopped on its side I've trimmed the leaves like u said but not looking good for it

Hey green house that's a good topping sir...lol...put the clones under a week CFL or somthing.6400k..take them away from the hps light is to strong ...very little light for them ..like a CFL or somthing not red spectrum tho ..blue..if they don't make it at least you sorted your problem ...top the other one aswell mate you want them growing together for the same height..dont be afraid to experiment with your plants..topping ..tying down.ect there a very hardy plant....one of a kind..lol..hope this helps keep me posted mate..scarecrow...

Yea you've helped me loads mate was thinking of topping them but didn't have the confidence.so now it's done the room and the plant looks a lot better started a blog with some photos if been taking from the start hope u have a look

A few things have been bugging me and I was wondering if u could help?the two smaller plants have a good bushy appearance but some of the fan leaves keep loosing colour and dry up and die any ideas the rest of the plants generally ok small but ok .also I have an out her plant that I planted around 5 weeks ago it to is growing well(really well) but the leaves on it look really waxy been like this from day one.il send pics of both probs.

Hey greenhouse
.i think its heat doing that mate.what kind of fans and stuff you running.that used to happen to me when I started growing first..not enought ventalation around the plants they would kind of dry up and lose colour ..when I fixed ventalation no more problems..make sure you feed the plants the veg nutrients tillthe strech is over in 12/12 the first 2/3 weeks they use a lot of nitrogen..then switch to bloom nutes.hope this helps..scarecrow77

With the foliage in your room make sure you have plenty air flow..evenif you have no exaust fan keep the air moving around them 24/7or you will have problems mid flower ..when your feeding your ..plants .always remember less is more..scarecrow77..what soil and nutrients you using and what's your ppms at the minute..

its very hard to see the pic properly with the hps on over them pull it out under a white light and take pic..i be able to take a proper look .i would.nt flower till you have every thing right ..because the fisrt 4 weeks in flower they put a lot of energy into making nice strong branches to focus on holding the flowers...so you want nice green healthy leafs to drive that energy..

No crow I'm still in veg.gonna flip it soon.y have u seen something wrong!

Click to expand...

flip now. they may have a burst of growth in early 12/12. don't run out of headspace.

Yea crow that was my thoughts.i don't want to flip if the plants aren't at their best.this is y I have waited so long to flip.the one I topped has some very long thin stems I'm hoping they will thicken up when I flip.also one of the plants always looks very droopy every morn when I've had the lights on all night.this is nothing to do with water as it has plenty.it perks up ok and becomes a great looking plant within a couple of hours but I have no idea y it always looks so down in the morns?(I have just misted them so they droop even more).

I have plenty airflow in the room.two PC fans running 24/7 and also a 4inch exaust fan.

I'm in biobizz all mix soil and I give them 4ml biobizz veg nutes(4-3-6)every water (every second day usually)

Hey greenhouse...when your light go off for bed time..lol..your plants leafs will droop because there not receiving light ..now when your light come on they should be still droopy till the hps is fully firing ..usally 15/20 min and they will perk up nicley..for the pc fans thats are exacly what there for ..pc.s....or really small cabnet grows ...if you don't have enough fresh air going in to the tent your out take fan is doing very little for you...in order for the out take to run to it best you must replace the air you sucking out with equal amounts of air being brought in..i think dat is why your leafs are drying up..the only other thing I think of at the min is ph..but the soil you have is very good and I never had problems myself with it ...by right you should be using the same size fan bring in air as the fan your sucking out with ...hope this helps..o ya the stems are week because there not getting a strong enough breeze to strengen them...the leafs should be moving at all times with a 10" osalating fan..keep me posted mate ..it all comes down to just tweeking things to get it right
