Diatomaceous earth, neem, and the main one : yellow stick paper! If you can, put glue on the border of the pot also.

@1stmanny, You are most welcome Buddy. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿค™๐ŸผDid you get yo yos or benders? And it depends on the amount of branches. I would say between 4 and 6. I look forward to your next diary entry. ๐Ÿ’œโ˜ฎ๏ธ

@1stmanny, it helps the lower branches to be exposed better to light therefore better bud grow.

My first ever grow I used miraclegrow moisture control, I had 6 plants in a 4x4 and I got about 10.5 oz of dried bud and they were about 5 and a half feet tall using 2 cheap ebay 2000w grow leds. It may not be the best outcome but if you pay attention to your plants it definitely wont be the worst. Good luck cant wait to see them finish.
EyeMKing
EyeMKingcommented5 years ago
@1stmanny, just lower them and look for signs of light burn or bleaching. The tsw is the wide version lik 20"x20" where the tsl is rectangular so for a 2x4 tent it's perfect. I want to upgrade to the tsw3000 because although I can cover a 4x4 with the 2000 once I lower the light I'll only cover 3x3 where as the 3000 can cover 5x5 in veg and 4x4 in flower
1stmanny
1stmannycommented5 years ago
@EyeMKing, I lower them to about 10 inches off the Tops. so I think I can lower them to 6 inches off the tops next week. I have about 3.5 weeks of flower to go. ๐Ÿ˜i am really feeling the ๐Ÿ˜˜Mars Hydro TSL 2000W for my 2x4 tent. it's about $300, I think the one you have is a better buy, it can cover a 5x5, and it cost the same at about $300, i think i really need the light and a 5x5 tent to get the most out of it.
EyeMKing
EyeMKingcommented5 years ago
@1stmanny, so its advertised at 2000w but was probably around 100w each and i had 2 in a 4x4. I swapped to the mars hydro tsw2000 which is 310w for one light. Your plants look to be growing nice for the light source you have, a stronger light would help make dense buds. Maybe try lowering the lights a tad more since they are FL bulbs if I remember correctly they can be with 5-10 inches from the tops. As for LST i plant my seedlings off to the sides of my bags so that i can bend them across the center. I do this to reach the most horizontal growth while promoting side growth, so that by the time she reaches the other end of the bag my side branches have spread out evenly to create a uniform vertical growth. If you check my younger plant diaries you will see what I mean.

Puffer_Bill
Puffer_Billcommented5 years ago
@1stmanny, Good you adjusted. So long they not hot too touch then all should be fine. Remember to check on them... and to raise the lights every so often to maintain distance of 300mm. Keeping the lights low will shorten the nodes and add strength. You are most welcome โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜Ž
1stmanny
1stmannycommented5 years ago
@Puffer_Bill, Hi Bill 300mm works out to 11.80 inches, My light was at 19 1/2 inches. I lowered it to 16 inches about 406mm, im using 12 cheap br30 7 watts bulbs . The bulbs get a little warm but not hot to the touch, i will keep and eye on them. for signs of any problems, thank you for the heads up.
Puffer_Bill
Puffer_Billcommented5 years ago
@1stmanny, Just be careful how low you go. Keep a beady eye on any changes like lowering lights. I dont know what distance your lights are from seedlings? My LEDs are 300mm from plant. Do your lights burn you if you touch them? And your diary comments seem quite fine. Some info about the strain perhaps? โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜Ž

All the girls are looking good! Nice and bushy and looks like your LST is on point! Looks like all your plants survived from week 1. Iโ€™m glad you kept them going ๐Ÿ’ช It looks like youโ€™re using twist ties for the plant which Iโ€™ve read may be a bit too thin. However, if the stems donโ€™t show any signs of damage or stress, keep it rolling! No need to change if it isnโ€™t hurting! It looks like a few of the new leaf growth on the BCN Critical are damaged? It may just be from the perspective, so I could be wrong. Other than that, all your girls are looking solid and growing nicely! Iโ€™ll see if I canโ€™t do some research on your bug issue, but Iโ€™ve been using the growweedeasy website for any issues and general info. It may be worth looking into

Hi @Michigrown, Your right about BCN Critical, the leaves are damaged. this poor girl from seed. ๐Ÿ˜ณI overwatered her thinking, ๐Ÿ˜ฑshe needs it. and she stops growing ๐Ÿ˜ž . around day 21๐Ÿ˜€ i thought she needed more airflow. the fan fell in the middle of the night. and damaged her. the crazy thing the fan falling on her. It turned her into a monster plant. she is the biggest one of all now. she was smallest to biggest, i even planted a replacement๐Ÿ˜‚ but she did not die!!๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜Š. can you send me a link the site. please and thank you .
