Day 29: rectified a couple of things, pH has been too high and since correcting growth has been great, I’ll probably keep them in veg for a while longer yet, despite what I said last week I went ahead and topped them both after the 7th node started to grow, so far so good, I’ll give them the week before attempting anything else. Both plants are starting to drink a bit more water, not a problem as it keeps me busy. Excited to see what they do next✌️ if you’re reading this part then I haven’t yet updated all the other stats, I’ll do that all tomorrow and update, happy growing✌️🍁
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!
