First grows are scary, but exciting! Liked and followed! You're doing quite well and I think your healthy plants will enjoy the new light quite a bit. A bit more LST might give you a better yield, but isn't strictly needed. Practice at it is always good, though. Let us know if you have any questions =)

Thanks for the reply. I figured I would hold off until next grow for a mainline project. I didn't have enough room to train outwards this time because I have 3 plants in a 4x4x7. they got crowded really quick after flip. but I had plenty of room to grow up. as for temps I'm in an apartment. so my exhaust vents to the rest of the apartment outside of the room I'm growing in. (not a good idea to run it outside lol) so maybe a window AC would help me out best. Thanks again for the knowledge

@beginnergrower, if you haven't started LST in flower, don't start. I end up doing LST in flower but it's to keep them from crowding -- and the more right I do it, the earlier into flower I stop doing it entirely. Your plants are really healthy and under that 1000 they should bulk very well. There's always next round for LST =) Temperature wise, it's a struggle for me because where we live we can't put a central a/c in -- so we have 5 window units. I stopped having problems after I upgraded those. Coco coir helps a ton, the oxygenation helps the roots not shock to cold, hot, wet, dry. So does potassium silicate, though it's a pain in the butt to pH balance. Makes the roots stronger so that the heat doesn't bother them. Light stress and heat stress are super related and if you can't get the heat down backing the light off can help reduce symptoms. LEDs are just way cooler in general and I still have a bit of this problem, but I have zero experience with cooling HID lighting. It seems like a very real problem.

Thanks a lot Jon! I was thinking about some LST. It won't hurt anything in flower right? my one bagseed doubled in size after stretch already while the smaller one only stretched 6 inches. Evening up the canopy would be nice. also do you have any tips on keeping temps down? I have a 1000w hps with air cooled hood and can't seem to turn it up that high without hitting about upper 80s. Thanks for the help!

dogs and cats will eat finishing buds when they develop a taste i dont let ours anywhere near it you prolly dont want to learn the hard way =(

beginnergrowercommented7 years ago

yeah my cat can't be in the room when the tent is open. she knows no boundaries and has taken out a few lower leaves early on. my dog on the other hand is awesome and won't even go in tent. she has boundaries and hadn't been aloud in ever. she waits at the edge. and eats a few leaves I clip off every now and then. Thanks for the tips though. always appreciated.
