here is a pic they are on ec1.3 and i am getting slight tip burn so do i feed ec1.2 now temps 24c humity 53%
also i want to veg the plants until the 4 just about fill the whole tent these were topped at node 5
i am getting an aeroponic cloner this week so i can take cuts
thanks for looking
Hey Icmag i need some help i topped at the 5th node and the two tops are about 3ins long
should i top them again so side branches catch up sorry for noob question i have never done it before
Every time you top the plants you temporarily stunt the growth while the plant catches up. In the long run you end up with more side branches because you have more than one stalk for them to grow from, not to mention more colas. Every time you top though, the colas will be slightly smaller than the one(s) you had before topping. Most plants max out around 2 or 3 toppings so it makes no sense to do more than that. So the trade off is you have to spend more time in veg and get smaller colas but yield more in the end.
Yes, LST is tying the branches down without breaking them to train the plant to grow horizontally. If you're looking to increase your yield, this technique will help you do that. SCROG is a variation of LST where you use a screen or net instead of just tying the plant down to get an even canopy.
here is an update pic of plants today they were fed ec1.3 on the 21st
of jan. and today they were light ish so i fed em again ec1.3 ph5.8
they got 1.6lt each i am getting into this
here is the pic thanks everyone another thing how much do i take off the bottom of plant befor flowering.
Cheers justsometomatoes when they start too take off in veg its great watching them grow
bet if my enviroment and experience in growing it will be better.
there getting flipped tomorrow. i wanted to wait but the boss{wife}
says flip them now.so tomorrow it is.good idea because there stretching a bit and i am unsure how much they will grow in flower
plants flipped last night. still think i should have topped & vegged longer
they will be under 400watt metal halide for first 2 weeks of flower then i will switch
too 400watts of hps for flower.would have used 600watts in flower but there too hot for my room. thanks for looking...
