Any input, PH is correct, not too hot, not sure if i am just impatient? Used FF soil, GH nuts, and malasses, is about 7-8 weeks in? Big Buddha Blue Cheese.
Looks about right. Still has a ways to go from the looks of it. The only bud you should even expect to be of decent size is the main cola. The rest are too far away from the light to produce anything of real weight. Next time train the plant so that you have 5-6 colas all at the same height instead of one that's taller than the rest. LST, topping, or scrog are all good ways to do that.
so what should i do to the small bottom buds? the ones at the top of the branches are decent sized. Or is there a way to increase the size, or just dual harvesT? And if i do dual harvest, just pick the top off? or cut it off?
Looks very good, for one thing it looks like you still have some growth still going on! Looks very close though, nice and frosty This is your problem imo, not enough light! Your girl is just so tall that your 150 watts of hps only reached so far and the cfl's need to be within inches which makes it hard. For what you have you should still get a pretty good yield because everything looks very healthy but if you would have kept her under 2' she would have filled out a lot more most likely. What size pot did she finish in and how long did u veg? From my experience with lower wattage light, you want to keep them short and compact and you will get just as much as a long lanky girl if not even more! Its all about what kind of light penetration your getting. I bet if you would have put another 150 pointing at the side on the main cola it would have been huge! Hope that helps a little but i would be very happy with what you have done, with the right dry and cure it will be amazing from the looks of it!
Just dual harvest, and just cut it off. I would just cut it right at the height of the rest of the top buds, move your light appropriately closer and let her go. Not much else you can really do this time around. Just be sure to train next time so that you have multiple top colas. Your total harvest weight will increase big time if you can train well enough to have many colas all at the exact same height, or close to the same height.
How long did you veg it for? Like said above look into topping, lst or something similar and give it a try your next grow! You should leave them until there ready like the main cola. Not much you can do now, what he ment was next time look into training for multiple colas
3 gallon pot, 4 weeks veg only, is like 38" tall too, im going to add like 4 more CFLs so 6 CFL's and 150 Watt HPS
Okay so if i top it, in how long should i do it? its about 7-8 weeks in. Nice sig btw Treez lol. Yeah i was scared to do LST or anything like that granted im a noob, just did some research about temps/nutrients ect.
The cfl's will definitely help but watch the temp and keep them on there sides if possible, they put off most light from sides.. The 4 week veg is your problem. You would be better off cutting that in half and adding another plant. Or what I would do, veg 2 weeks or until around 8 nodes. then top and let her recover for about a week so 3 weeks total veg. throw her in flowering and have something significantly shorter allowing you to surround it much easier with the lights you have
This is all planning for you next grow that you can use! Once you put your girl into flowering you want to try and avoid any added stress unless you have no choice! Where your at in grow just keep her happy and make sure you dry and cure RIGHT! I can't stress this enough, you will turn great bud into grassy smelling stuff that just gets you really stoned lol.. If you have any questions about that I would be more than happy to help too! When you do your next plant do like I said above and top early in the veg cycle, "roughly 2 weeks into veg." 6-8 nodes. Look up topping and it will explain how to do it. I don't really lst, I personally like topping and using the scrog method! Thanks, I just threw the sig up lol. Watched the movie again the other day. EPIC lol.
