In hydroponics you start feeding from the time their born at 400 ppm, 0.8 ec. You increase the feed by 100 ppm 0.2 ec every week if your seeing good growth. By the 5th week your plants should 18 to 36 inches and ready to go into flower.. Dont go overboard on your nutes and if you see your ph creeping, adjust it. Keep your water cool and watch nutes that are to dark. Canna aqua or Dutch nutrient formula are all I would recommend for hydroponics. Dont go more than 1.8 ec,,1.6 to 1.8 should be good. Cheers

It’s really okey actually when we talking about that age of the plant . Well done , you have some happy and thick roots tgere💪🌱🌱

thick and green? or covered in algea? if thick, i'd wager light is hitting them and they are differentiating somewhere between root and stem. This may also be the cause of any root infections - light leak. if algea, still light leak causing it, as that requires light to grow.

don't remove leaves unless overlapping and otherwise congested. Try bending them to new location first. Lollipopping is a double-edge sword. It can often reduce yield, but increase proporiton of higher quality buds... sometims i'm sure oyu can even increase yield if you leave a bit more lower growth. I like to do it. If the plant sheds the leaves down below, so bet it, but i don't cut htem off. I do remove lower leaves if they impedge me watering the plants easily / quickly. you can do it ~15-20 days into bloom and do it 1 time, you could do a little minor spring cleaning before you send it to bloom and a 2nd/3rd sweep later, if you think it'll require taking more than 1/3rd of the plant off at one time. Better to split something like that up and not at certain points that shock would be a bad bad thing. LST / Top, whatever.. just get it done. You want even growth. 1 vertical shoot per 4-6" by 4-6" area. Mix topping with LST in less dense areas. Use apical dominance (tallest) to even out canopy height -- simply bend down taller branches for a day or 3 until shorter limbs catch up. Topping will slow it down too, and you don't have to keep 2 forks if you don't want.. .simply trim off the other one. it's worth your while to keep an even canopy. Distribution of resources will be more equal. Try to limit how many vertical shoots are coming off a branch.. 2-3? You start adding more and you get smaller and smaller colas each time it splits a new vertical shoot. After you bend it over, removing any leaves dragging along ground is a good idea. Anchor in opposite direction to reduce stress on roots. Axillary growth below the bend will typically suffer greatly. Consider removing it. I've tied them up to gain apical dominance, got them fairly even, and it still wasn't as good of bud as the other shoots. So, anything below that initial bend is going to be impacted. keep the plant after the bend as even as possible. How long before you let tip grow vertically? depends on the size of plant you are intending to grow. Timing is about it catching up to the rest of canopy. Simply know how the plant reacts to various things you can do... all tools to shape and form a level canopy that fills out your space in an optimal way. You'll want all the vertical shoots you need as it enters bloom, but the size should be about 70% length by 70% width of what it will grow into 4-5 weeks into bloom phase. (it'll double in size .7*.7=~50%)

You would probably need a 6 inch extractor to help control the humidty . I have had problems with it over the years especially in summer. Dehumidifiers are your best bet , but they are expensive and noisy. If you can't install a dehumidifier then I suggest you keep air flow constant in your tent . Mold will only really grow in stagnant humid air . So if you increase the air flow in the tent you should be able to avoid it. I've flowered in constant 70 percent humidty . But I kept the oscillating fan on them at all times and avoided any problems .

Patience is all that's needed in this stage my friend keep to your feed schedule. It will be plain sailing from here. Don't worry they will get very frosty strain dependent. If that's what your looking for coated trikes I would suggest trying to grow the stronger stains they tend to have more of a trich development but as a grower has said these buds are very immature. Trike development will usually start after 4 weeks of flower and the amount is strain dependent. I know they are very photo genic but more trikes does not necessarily mean nicer bud its all about the pheno type. from 4 weeks until about 12 weeks flowering your plant will continue to grow new trikes and mature the old ones too so you know its really upto you how much you want and do you want to risk it trying to self pollenate in a chance at more trichs the choice is yours my friend keep up the great work :) 👊

When plant is ready to harvest after a flush and fade. Cut down and hang parts upside down in dark. Have slight moving air and humidity around 50 to 60 percent and about 65 to 70 degrees. Having a meter for jars is helpful. To know when to jar. Use crack test on stems. When they crack and make a noise when bent it is jar time. Open jars 2 to 3 times a day for 1st week. Once a day 2nd week. 3rd week about once every 2 to 3 days. 4th week and on about once a week. Good luck and enjoy the harvest. 🌲🌲🌲👊 looks tasty. Good job

I had one plant that I left them on. This plant produced a large yield. On another plant, I lollipopped it. It produced smaller yield, but denser, tastier buds. Try lollipopping next time.

Hi ! Het is handig dat je een idee hebt over wanneer je plant ongeveer klaar gaat zijn, in theorie staat dit er altijd bij. Maar in de praktijk kan het anders zijn, elke plant groeit verschillend. De ene gebruikt trainingstechnieken waardoor de plant extra moet herstellen, sommige planten groeien minder goed door stress en hebben meer tijd nodig.. Het is beter dat je de trichomen blijft opvolgen, deze kunnen heel snel veranderen. Op de bloeiharen afgaan is niet betrouwbaar, dus dat is minder belangrijk. Ik denk dat je wel melkachtige trichomen zult bereiken. Het is niet erg dat je al aan het flushen bent, je gaat vanzelf merken als je plant aan zijn einde komt (bladeren die vergelen, afvallen,..) Dan oogst je beter. Maar ik zou zolang mogelijk proberen doorgaan tot je melkachtige trichomen kan zien. Met de heldere ben je bijna niets, deze bevatten amper THC. Groetjes en als de oogst er is, laat het smaken!👌🌱
