My 1st Photoperiod

Happytrees82 I topped her after the 4th node, and trimmed the two lower fan leaves for better air flow. I've kept her feeding light so far, with one feeding of Grow Big and Some Cal-Mag.

Happytrees82 After topping her last week. She has really recovered nicely. I started with microbes (Recharge) 1/2 teaspoon and 1/2 teaspoon of Molasses. I've also started LST on the lower branches, pulling them slightly down and away from the plant. I'm still on the fence about trimming or pruning, i've seen two ways. Either prune or wait, does anyone have any actual experience that isnt in a book? Please.

Happytrees82 This last week ive learned quite a bit. I cleaned up the bottom of her to open up an area for better airflow. I made some small cuts in my grow bag and added zip-ties that I can use as an anchor for my plant ties. Then I tied down all four of her main branches for some LST. Later in the week where I topped her, there was enough growth that i could start LST on them as well. Late week i brought her branches as low as i could take them without hurting her. I kept it pretty light on nutrients, she hasn't needed much. I have been giving her Recharge microbes with a 1/2 teaspoon of Molasses, she seems to really like that day. ITo be truthful, this is my best grow so far. She has been telling me what she needs, and I haven't been over doing it.

Happytrees82 This week I had a death in the family, so I had a buddy do almost exactly what i did the week before. She started drinking more water this week. Her smell has definitely gotten stronger. I could smell her as I got back to my front door.

Happytrees82 I have been training her by tying her branches as low to the soil as possible. In the last picture, I just removed the ties and pruned her by taking the lowest new growth off of her. This is the first time I've trained a plant this aggressively. I've kept all of her nutrients that i give her, to the bare minimum. I currently have an Auto-flower and a second Photoperiod plant growing next to each other. Im currently debating whether I flip her light schedule while the Auto-flower is in her flowering stage, or to let her completely finish then flip the lights to a 12/12. If anyone has any recommendations, I would live to hear them. Thank you, and I hope your plants are happy and you get the best harvest of you're life.

Happytrees82 Im currently waiting for my Gorilla Cookies Auto to finish up then i will flip my lights. Im currently just maintaining her and her sister until then.

Happytrees82 She'sShe's a stout little plant after I topped her. I immediately started tying down all of her branches, so she would grow out a bit, and so she would stay at the same. Height like you would. But now, as I'm getting ready to transition to flour, do I continue to let everything in that center part grow? Because it's the same height as everything else Or do I cut it?And try to go for a few massive colas. I think I might just let it go and see how large of a yield I can get off of her.She has been extremely easy to grow and extremely resilient. FastBuds has really helped my homegrown game.

Happytrees82 I flipped my lights last Sunday, I looked at them today and there is multiple flower sites. I'm growing 2 plants side by side, Lemon Cherry Runtz and Gorilla Melon both by Fastbuds. The Lemon Cherry Runtz took about 4-5 days for the pistols to really show. The Gorilla Melon took about 6 days, both plants are extremely healthy and I havent had a single issue with them. As far as age the Gorilla Melon is 9 weeks old and the Lemon Cherry Runtz is 8 weeks old. Two days after i switched the lights both plants strated there strech and have just about grow 50% larger. I am extremely happy with the quality Fastbuds maintains, I say that and I'm not sponsored by them. They just have the beat genetics in my opinion.
