What’s up guys! Day 15 for the sherbet queens. They’re getting on nicely, although Smaller growth tacos very very slightly in the day when hot and flattens out again once lights go off. Heat is a little high in the day as it’s getting hot outside and I just can’t cool it down, I’m hoping to go down the LED road very soon. I added extra which has helped a bit. SQ2 has a leaf with a tiny lighter green mark on it, don’t think it’s anything major. Yesterday I changed their pots despite being recommended to wait a little longer, both came straight out of there pots whole with no distruption being made to the roots and so far they show no negative signs to being transplanted. Very excited to see these progress. I watered both a tiny bit today with RQS grow tablets hopefully that has a positive effect on them both, SQ2 is slightly further ahead than SQ1 but anything can happen and they may swap places, who knows😅 I’m hoping to try some topping and LST on both plants and was wondering what order you guys all do it in? Thanks and happy growing✌️🌱🍁
Update: very early hours of day 17 and I decided to lst her along with my other plants, perhaps it’s something to do with constant air blowing on them but all stems are very rigid, not a bad thing but I see the potential in them being unbendable if I leave them too much longer, hopefully they all love it, Pictures to follow in the next update, see you next week✌️
how long is it possible to veg for?My original plan was to separate these two from my autos but that’s now not a option, Without giving 12/12 to my autos It could take me to 15 weeks of veg growth for these two. Would that be okay assuming I can keep them within the space? Thanks
Congratulations on the new baby. She looks good at first. Choose a good variety. For a treat. Keep doing what you are doing and have the growing ganja gods protect your women until the growth is complete.
@CRiSPrGrow, that’s good to know, 5% isn’t much really, my last grow was with a cfl so my end result will still be better than my last grow😁 I didn’t know that, I kept my last grow 18/6 the whole way and wasn’t too impressed with the final product, yeah it is but it makes sense, I always see more growth during the dark period so it confirms my theory a little bit, thanks for your help✌️
@Ema26, well what i can tell you right now about 12/12 for autos is that you will lose less than 5% biomass total and the final product will be stronger than with more light intensity. It's always a good idea to reduce the light schedule towards the end of an auto's cycle because light degrades THC, CBD and terpenes and anyway a plant will do most of it's growing in the dark periods. I know this is the opposite of many things you read about autos online, but at least it's the truth 🚀
@CRiSPrGrow, yes that helps! Thanks🙏 My plan is to flip them to 12/12 once my youngest autos hit flower, perhaps this will stop me getting the most from the autos but time and space will prevent me keeping them going for too long, thankyou✌️
Good luck with the organic grow mate I'm doing the same as you on my next Grow all from rqs so I'll be asking for pointers in a few weeks hope it all goes well mate
Topping and Lst depends on what you want from your girls and where they’re at in their development.
I usually top at the 5th or the 6th node. That way I get 8-10 side branches. And then I top again, so plus 4 tops.
LST as soon as possible on the side branches.
Luckily the Sherbet Queen is very easy to work with 😉 With soft, long branches.
Check out this page, there’s lots of info in there on basically everything:

@Green_Dream, I’ve not got anything planned just yet, feel they’ve got a lot to go before I start anything. I was going to too the 7th node, would you recommend one lower? She’ll probably go another couple weeks depending on growth before lst. That’s good to hear😅many thanks I’ll check it out!
