Are my plants already starting to bloom or not?I got 3 questions:
1) Do my plants actually bloom or not?
2) Do I need to add red light now? (For now I have 6 "cold" bulbs by 25 watts. Should I change all of them or just ad 2 for beginning?)
3) How can I boost stems growth or it's too late?Buds. Other

Days between LST for mainline/manifold trainingFor mainlining, after the first cut, do I need to move the soft garden ties out as the new growth tips grow? The green crack is really shooting out in recovery and I want to keep it in it's manifold shape as it does. How many days between LST sessions essentially?5y ago

Hi Grow Community! I am trying LST for the first time. Plant is about 14cm hight. As far as I know I need to bend the stem until it's horizontal with the soil. But the stem of my plant is already so thick and solid. Does it need to be rly horizontal?Should I try and bend it more?Week 3

First LST attempt, any good?How did I do with my first LST attempt? I know it's a bit of an artform but one looks a lot prettier than the other! I was trying to bend them over and tuck to expose all the likely budding sites to light. Anything I should do differently? Thanks!Week 3

Leaf Spots, weak color, and leaf ripplePlease help me identify possible causes of this: small spots on leaves, minor color fade (not burn) along edges, and strange 'ripple' effect.
A user commented that he thought my plants looked deficient but hasn't elaborated further yet.
What might this be? Multiple issues?4y ago
