Day 30 now and she seems to be growing faster everyday, really impressed so far. By the end of week 3 she had started flowering she's still got quite a bit to grow vertically though I think, looks like she might get quite tall. Side branches are also looking superbly strong, reaching out above the upper fan leaves. I've started some leaf tucking, the structure of this plant is perfect for tucking. So far so good guys, happy growing. ๐๐ช๐ฑ
@Tazard1, thanks ๐ although she looks taller than she is wide shes actually 75 cm in width compared to 65 cm in height. One of the bigger autos I've grown. Given the perfect conditions shed be insane I reckon.
A super crop right about now wouldn't be a bad idea, especially when you mention the height issue, it would bring the main level with the sides. Just a thought brother.
@Maxranger, don't be scared friend. She I's a well established and healthy plant from what I can see. Always make sure the plants in that state before HST. Then straight after the super crop, give a good watering with OXYGENATED water. This helps the plant recover much quicker. So plan to do it when your due a watering. Plus when the plant needs watering the stems are more flexible and shouldn't snap! Try it after a watering and you'll probly snap. Just use your thumb nail to make an indent in the stem where you want it to bend, and push from the other side with your finger slowly softly till you can feel the insides crush. It might make a crunch sound but that is what you want. IG you do snap, just doctor it up as sterile as you can, plasters or band aids in USA work a treat as they are breathable as well. If you need anything else let me know, I've just done supercropping on every branch on one of mine and she's back up and running again after 48 hours. Peace.
@CAMOGROWN, I've had a look into super cropping but im scared I might ruin her, it maybe the only option I have though. Is it recommended this far into flowering?
P.s. thanks for the advice.
Which LED are you using exactly? I have a 800w bestva (150w actual charge), but the manufacturer's recommendation it came with says to keep it 3ft away from the plant canopy. I've been doing that, but I see several growers going around 20". Great job btw :)
@dreamer08, thanks ๐ I'm using the mars hydro 300, really impressed considering it only set me back ยฃ60 using half the power my cfl was using and better yield. The light came with a reccomendation of 12 to 18 inch in flowering but mines at about 10 as I have no more space to raise it.
