June 5 Both plants seem to be growing strongly. I have moved the light closer to the plants, and this has made a noticeable difference in how fast they are growing. I moved the light from about 40-45cm (18 inches) down to about 15cm(6 inches) from the tops of the young plants. You can see from the pictures the there is short distances between each new set of branches. I think this is what is called tight inter-nodal growth. Heat no longer a problem, and I only have a 250w light going so not much heat from that. I think that I can see the female pre-flowers. I am now glad that I choose feminised seeds. I only bought three, so imagine if they were standard seeds, and all turned out to be boys - the horror of the thought. June 7 I have re-potted both plants into 15l (3.2 gallon) cloth smart pots (Grow Pouches). I had originally bought 30l(6.5 gallon) pots, but they would have been a real squeeze to fit into the space. So I decided to get a couple of 15l pots, and am happy with them. There is room to place them a little better, and is more room for air to circulate. I have used the Plagron growmix here also. The re-potting went off without a hitch, and I have given both 1.5 litres of water. I thought I would need to add fertiliser, but reading the product info I see that the grow mix has enough nutrients for the first three weeks. I purchased the Plagron algae based AlgalGro and AlgalBloom, but seems I wont need the veg fertiliser for long before I go into flowering, all going well... Oh yeah I gave them a dose of 'Ecothrive Biosys' a beneficial root-fungus and bacteria additive and got it in there on the roots - for that extra organic symbiosis thing. I am going to do some LST this week. I will tie down some some of the side branches. I have pulled the core from some scrap electrical cable I have spare, which will do nicely as it is solid core and not braided. The end of the week I intend to top the plants above the fifth node. This looks like it will be a tricky operation as the nodes are very close.

Leaf colour help. Hi all. I think there may be a problem with the new growth on my plants. They are 10 days into flowering 12/12. They look like they are too light. They veins are much darker giving them a stripey look. I had the light very close to them when it started. ?

бро, твоей девочке тяжело дышать, слишком близко лампа, испытывает тепловой стресс и очень активно дышит, влажность высокая 60% и поэтому ей тяжело дышать. Постарайся снизить влажность до 40% и поднять лампу повыше, чтоб не было перегрева в точках роста. 👌😇👍 Удачи, бро!

Hi. It's my first grow and was wondering if I should stop feeding the plants nutrients a certain amount of time before the harvest date ? It's a soil grow and I am into week 4 of flowering. The seed bank says they need 45-60 days flowering. Should I only water at end week? Thanx

Hey Growmie, Unfortunately, most seed banks get the estimated time of harvest of incorrect by at least 3 Weeks. You should feed the plant all the way until it's finished then stop feeding and begin the flush to insure the excess nutrients are out the soil. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time"

Hey Dubdad, Unfortunately once it hermie's you can't change it. If you are growing with other female plants I would kill it as you don't want it to pollinate your other plants. If you really want to grow it you could isolate it from the other plants and finish flowering however you will probably have a lot of seeds with it turning hermie so soon into flower. Good luck with everything!

No way to stop this. You can try cutting the shots but that is really a lot to do, and there is no warranties that this will really works. But if you have other female plants near there, I think you should kill it. Good luck!
