Hello Everyone, my baby(AK47 x Bubblegum) is finally a week old, she is 8days to be exact. She has been in the dwc system for a full week, and I did go ahead and added Ionic Grow Veg when she was about 4days old. Someone told me it wasnt good to give them nutrients during the first week but Im a Newbie so watever thats how I did it. So far she is looking super great, the stem looks healthy, leaves look healthy no sign of nutrient burn or anything. Shes currently under 2 x 26 watt (6500k) CFLs and her schedule is 19/5. Let me know wat you guys think, Im open to suggestions n more advice, this is my first grow ever. Thanks
Hey guys, I want to get as many colas as possible from my plant. Do u guys recommend "Toping" my plant during early stage maybe week 2 or should I Top it around 4 weeks into Veg? Again this is first time grow, never done any sort of Toping or anything for that matter, please give me some advice thanks.
Do a search for "FIM" -- there are some very good threads under advanced growing techniques. You will want to prune sooner rather than later -- topping/pruning has the effect of diffusing hormones, which can hamper flowering so that maturation is delayed.
Thanks mikehoncho, I been reading up and watching some vids on topping/prunning...I will def be using the technique I wanna avoid a tall plant my space is somewhat limited. I will be topping the main shoot during week 2 probably like day 17th or so. Im sure it would have more levels of branches n be taller by then.
