hello there. have made any growing posts in a while...

just looking for some input of when you guys think i should flower these 2? i dont have alot of vertical space to work with as you can see. the strains unknown so i dont know what it will do, just some bagseed i found. im using miracle grow soil for the first time and i must say its doin a darn good job. no nutes yet. let me know what ya think.

Looks like bagseed with some pretty strong potential bro. They look a little young yet, Id keep em under atleast another week, even if they are strong growers. You didnt really specify your height limits so just watch and top accordingly. If your tight, your tight... especially if your under a 3ft, watch the plant in veg for atleast another week. Looks nice, keep it easy ~caddy

Hey there, yeah Miracle grow gets a bad rep, but it sure seems to work well doesn't it? Well you will get many different opinions on this but for me, I would go ahead and put them in flower. They will go through a 2 week stretch and grow a good bit when you switch them anyway, so why wait for growth to switch them?

Ah man that has happened to me before too and then the bulb is loose in there. I continued to use it, hell they are expensive!! I bet Red would know about the safety of it.

Nice strong looking stems on those plants, look healthy.

One of my bagseed plants has some leaves like that. It was more major earlier on, but then I adjusted the pH and they almost look like normal now.

my buddy recently finished his 1st grow and i kinda coached him thru it...he has about 3 ft of room between floor and light so with the pots id say about 2.25 ft...anyway we flowered his @ about 6 inches from seed and more than 1/2 of his were touchin the cieling when he harvested...we had to attatch a screen about 7" around the bulb to keep the tops from touching it...ive also flowered my own plants @ like 1.5ft and they finished like 2ft only strecthed 6 half a foot... it all depends on the individual strain.

that and what kind of lights did he use and what type of light did you use?
doesnt the type of light source you use have some effect on how much plants stretch....

oh..and BTW, damn for some bagseed, that looks like some healthy shit growing right there for a starters, i like your LST method, im using that right now too, i love the countless bud sites i have now, heeehee, your right about the coat hangers though, you dont want to be ripping roots to hell everytime you shove something down there, why dont you try the rubber band method, looks like it might help....anyway, my two cents...good going bro and good luck

Switch now and LST to get better light. She's big and will get bigger as you know.

I use elastics and paper clips to LST and I like them. I also use the weak wires that they wrap on breadbags, cause they're easy to remove and they do apply some force.

Doing great, your plant is lovely.
