So here we are in week 3 and we're hitting some stride. All three have shot up with some really nice leaf development. Lisa is a little shorter than the others but isn't showing any signs of stunting.
They all had developed enough that I could start tying them down but I've been a little more aggressive than the last grow. I've learned they're resilient enough to take a slightly heavier hand without snapping the stems or damaging leaves. I'm also tempted to try topping for the first time with this grow but I'll see how well they take to the LST before I branch out further.
Also trying to make sure I don't overwater this time, they take a feed roughly every 2.5 days so I'll take these times as the opportunity to re-tie them.
They've taken well to the training as you can see. A few more days and I'll try topping them and see how they cope during week 4.
Update - They're healthy and strong so I just went ahead with the topping along with today's feed. Lisa was a bit more of a FIM so we'll see how that turns out soon hopefully.
Nice my friend, I would definitely recommend topping as it can seriously increase yield and I find it easier to lst.
Buy if your gonna top then do it just before you feed then it helps with the stress πππ
@Kommandant666, never fimmed mate only ever topped and trust me I wouldn't go back to natural.
Key is nice healthy plant growing day by day top between the 2nd or 3rd week depending on growth and after you do it feed them it helps with the stress
I seen a guy put a small bucket in his tent with a towel half in and out if the bucket, pointed the fan at it and the towel acted like a wick and brought water up then when the fan air hit it presto it raised it and in the plus side if it goes up to much you can lift it out πππ
@Green_fiend, I actually tried the towel method with my NLA grow but it didn't work so well, a lot of hovering over it and making sure it didn't dry or get too humid. Wound up just placing a water dish in the corner and letting the heat from the lights do the work. Normally sit around 35% and that raised it to a nice 42 - 48% pretty reliably. Think there needs to be a pretty specific temp range for it to work like this tho, just been super lucky π
