Nice avatar BC, was wondering if you were going to use one. Plant looks good and stretching away, I reckon you will have to tie the main down bro. Keep it up.
Peace.

Thanks b00m!! The guy on my avatar cracks me up so why not?! lol
Phineas and Ferb...love it..lol
Its day 4 of flowering and she's really filling out..I have all the smaller branches tied down so they will fill that empty spot at one side of the pot.
I have a question for anyone and everyone.
There are about 3 leaves( 1 big and 2 small) that are just sitting on the soil because of the LST...
Should I cut them?
Everytime I water in the future, those leaves will just sit in water and wet soil, that can't be good so I sure would love some help..
Thanks all
 
hey BC, whats that little plant i see there on the side? maybe i missed something in one of your posts, your plant is looking wonderfull, and as for the leaves on the ground?

thats a slight problem, if they're covered in water, they cant photosynthisize, so they wont do anything for the plant, but cutting them off permanently takes away any photosynthisis those leaves could produce, but then again, i would keep in mind that when you take away those leaves, the plant will redirect its growth to other areas of the plant, and your stems will most likely get thicker and you'll see a bit of a growth spurt. another alternative is to lst them BACK up, it will probubly work.

anyways, its all looking good bro, love phineas and ferb, gotta love my teletoon! are you from vancouver?? that would be cool.

anyways, great job man, i really love those fans, your setup is really pro.

Thanks Shihirlis!! Nice to have you here!!
Thanks cristoph'sbud!! Vancouver has been my home town forever...Whistler is like a second home to me but its too expensive to live there now..after the Olympics, it will be even more expensive...are you in Canada?
Hey b00m!!!!! it took me this long to figure out how to even have an avatar!! UGH...that movie should be here shortly too.. at least thats what they told me...sheeesh...
using this high power fan is a nightmare..its 24 volts to start but can go to 48 volts!! there lies the problem..my drill charger cord is 25 volts so it runs the fan but its not as strong as I'd like it..have to keep the window wide open but it works..
I need 1 of those high volt laptop charger cords but they want well over 100 dollars for 1..UGH again..e-bay is my next option but that will take 2 weeks to get here...
Anyone have any good ideas??
I'll post pics tonight..she is growing nicely but has slowed a little..could that be from switching to 12/12??
I have to cut 2 bigger leaves that really are just blocking light and getting in the way.. I am worried she'll slow down even more though...gotta be done nonetheless..
Thanks everyone and I'll have pics later...
 
thats awesome man, you live in whistler if im right? im down in van myself.

you could always half the leaves, that way retaining the light usage, and giving lower branches light as well, gives the main coala a niice all around trim too it, but i might not even know what im saying, im baaaked as fuck today, i got progress done on my first grow box!!! did you know im a noob?

Thanks Gene-Weaver!! Nice to hear from you..onyx next grow!!
Hey cristoph'sbud!! I live awhile north of Whistler..cheaper...still close to there and Van...this is my second micro grow so don't feel bad at all...its fun and you learn at the same time..
I did cut just that 1 huge leaf underneath as you can see in the pic...I also, by accident, snipped a bit of the other leaf but nothing bad...UGH...
I found out why those other branches were'nt growing too..that big leaf I cut out had them all twisted around down there..sheeesh..as you can see in the pics, I went with Jamaican coloured pipe cleaners to LST!!!!!! might as well jazz it up!! now those branches have all the light they need..
still have to find another power supply though but thats part of the fun...
watered her too so next time its nutes..the bud blood should kick in by next week for sure...no sign pistils yet either.. I read 6 weeks from seed so its close..5 weeks total so far and 6 days 12/12...
hope you like the pics and look forward to hearing from you all
Thanks

Looks great buddy :tiphat:

edit: do you have a PC's power supply? I think you can modify to give 24v.

Hey everyone..
Just popping in to show a couple more pics..
by taking out that leaf, really allowed those other shoots to grow...they are spring back to life quickly..she hasn't been fed in a week so in 3 days I'll give her a big dose of bloom..by then being a female will be confirmed...i hope...UGH..gotta be patient here BC..

I get my fan plus 5 amp power supply on Friday so I have to deal with heat till then..its not bad actually because I get to keep the window wide open.....the fan I'm getting is a Nidec 120 mm 3.3 amp beast that you can feel a strong breeze from over 10 feet away..NO ,more heat issues ...they use Nidec fans in X-Box 360's..
How does she look?
Thanks

Hey Scrub!! Glad to hear from you!! I don't know about you but I cannot live without out one of those Slam Chops!! I crack up every time I see it on the tube!! hilarious!! you are a funny guy Scrub...lol...
Thanks by the way..I was writing in my post the same time you posted here! Yeah, I have it figured out now but still have to wait 2 more sleeps...
Thanks cheese!! Sorry I have'nt popped by to the both of you, just real busy..

Thanks

Paranoid one

My lord.. I have missed a TON!

1 WORD.. WOW!

She has gotten nice and big there BC!
Everything looks very nice.
By the way, have you received that cheese clone yet?
I want to see how that will turn out.

Bad news here, my seedling died. Had no power for 2 days and it was freezing in my house and cab.
Not a biggie, i got 2 seeds germinating as we speak. I really hope there will be no more blizzards like the one i experienced last week.

Alright take care!

Lovin' the new smilies :)))

:thank you::tiphat:

EDIT: Almost forgot... you got one funny avatar...
I would like to change my avatar to Frankenstein who has 2 joints in his neck instead of 2 screws... that would be very cool.
 
i love the ties, plus its really helping ur plant grow like mad now!

i myself have just picked up an auto roller stash tin combo, for KING sized rolies! very happy with myself, also baught a new pipe, with a frog on it.

anyways, a little off topic, i cant wait to see how she buds out, for the love of god i hope its not a boy. dont over love her too much. and she will do fine from here on out, and yeah, the vegging is the hard part, when she starts buddin, it will be a cake walk!

most importantly, RELAX, be patient man!

thanks cristoph'sbud!! Me too!!!
here are some pics..for sure its a girl but I don't know if my camera got it or not...
The main stem was right up touching the light when it was lights on so I had to bend the main stem too...should have started earlier but thats okay...
She really shot up after I fed her nutes the other day..she is also drinking up the water fast..pretty well every second day I've had to water..healthy I guess...
The Bud Blood really lived up to its name for me..or her!! 1 week early like they said..there are pistils for sure at the very top..
I read up on my exhaust fan earlier..225 cfm, 3.3 amps,crazy fast too..
I changed the lights to all bigger ones except 1..so there are 2-40 watt 2700k, 1-30 watt 5500k,and 2 23 watt 2700k's..total is 156 watts with 10,000 lumens total..perfect for 1.35 sq feet..
I also noticed the plant reacted better to the higher watt cfl's especially the 93 cri 5500k light..100 is perfect sunshine outside...
love to hear some comments good or bad!!!
Thanks
