how big the plant need to be before 12/12 ?

[cbf]

eah man... i gonna grow 20lowryder #2 next time, i think i can make some good things there peace :roll: yeah

Lowrider is a weaker strain, only for people with very small spaces, your space is big enough for beter genetics IMHO. I'd get a strong Indica from a good breeder at seedbay, those look awesome, I bet you'll get some nice colas.

DAMN THAT!!!! F.U.C.K.E.M.!!!!

dont lose out on bud because of space!!! thats a small plant so i would let it get to the half the height of the cab and then flower. as they grow they are gonna spread out and you can always bend them , tie them down, or even tie them up so they dont fall.

it woudl be a shame to lose out on so much bud due to fear, especially when you dont really have anything to fear, in regards to the space you have.

i made that same mistake so long ago and it was a sativa. i ended up topping it thinking that there was no way out, BUT if i would have known about bending, and tieing i would not have lost out on so much bud. instead of getting the 3/4lb i should have, i got less than a half lb.

update...

2fem.. for now, waiting for the last two to show sex

 

[moses224]

Have your leaves improved? Also what fert are you using im presuming you switched to a phosphate high nute like fox bloom?

 

[jahblessallus]

sorry moses224 dont understand ?:S

 

[cobain420]

He's asking if you switched over to a flowering nutrient when you switched to 12/12, something high in P and lower in N than the nutrient you should be using during the vegetative phase.

Fox Bloom is an example of a flowering nutrient high in P and low in N.

When you switch the lights to 12/12 you should also switch nutrients. Plants require different nutrients while in different phases of growth, and switching over provides P which is essential to bud development.

Sorry to ramble, just thought I would toss me 2 cents in. Your doing a great job.

By the way: Your first pictures looked like they were a bit over watered, but the more recent pictures they look good. Make sure to water until it comes out of the bottom, and let them dry out completely before rewatering. I think overwatering is one of the most common mistakes for new growers, I had a problem with it myself

Keep it up, another 70 days and you can roll up a nice fatty of your own buds, best feeling in the world.

Keep us posted so we can follow this through to the end!

Thanks cobain420,

I dont use nutrient in veg. I had ask people around what to buy for the veg.
But i have one nutrient i can use last week of veg and 1 week into flow.
Terra leavs.

I let the wather run out from the bottom, and w8 few days and then watering again

The other nutrient i have are Terra max, Ata-XL, PK 13/14.

update 2weeks3days into flower

 

[Dr Dog]

good growth for 17 days

See that stretch in the second pic, you will learn how to stop that as you get used to growing.

Good luck with the rest of your grow

 

[bagseed77]

looking good , i slow the stretch on some plants by squeezing the stem til it crushes a little, also seems to make the buds bigger too, peace

 

[jahblessallus]

thanks guys, what do u mean with stretch ? its not good ?

some update.

 

[jahblessallus]

here is some new pictures of 12/12 2weeks4days:

 

[moses224]

stretch is good to a point if you have to much N from vegging you can stretch to a point that you dont get that main kola your looking for i believe thats what he was saying..aside from that looking good my man

 

[Dr Dog]

what I mean by the stretch is that you have your nodes on that one plant pulled to far apart, so you will not get the nice tight growth on your main cola. Not a big deal, but it is the difference between the size of a baseball sized or a baseball bat sized cola.

"unproven theory here"
Just like any other living creature, pot plants have a circulatory system, and the farther the "goods" have to travel to reach, the head" main cola" the less the rest of the plant is going to get less, more energy is going to be spent getting the food to the main top.
Thus the main principle in most of the forms of supercropping( fim, lst, scrog) keep all the tops at the same height or close to it

 

[NEARTHEBEACHBOY]

hey jahblessallus,what size are your square pot's and where did you get them from?your grow is looking good by the way.
