  3. Is it 4 weeks since breaking soil buddy ?? because its best to do a 1-2 week pre-veg from breaking soil then add 4 week veg time.
     
  4. Thanks for advice ill take it on board and hold off for a week take another look then.
    Patience is the game.

  5. Depends on your available space, especially in terms of height. I veg 8 weeks which makes huge plants. Every additional week in veg will be a huge difference, they grow A LOT in the later weeks of veg.

    If you go for big yield and space allows, I would veg longer

  6. You can also upload few more pics so we can judge plant height and width better.
    Looks good and just about to explode

  7. Great thanks mate . Just measured my cupboard its 170 cm is the highest the light can go. This was a trial 1st grow and i love it. Im gonna do another grow at the end of September in the loft and im ordering a grow tent now so ill have more room for next time..

  8. ok thats not too bad, thats where I have mine right now and I can raise a little higher.

    It also depends on your training. You can try to keep them as short as possible. I snapped some necks last night to reduce my overall canopy height. Usually I would use a trellis net to keep them down, but this grow I try without:

    This one is my un-fimemd plant. The other 3 are fimmed. So this one needed some extra work, but still bend over nicely.

  9. With this being my first grow i wasnt going to train them or experiment. I will defoliate fan leaves. To be honest im alittle unsure. Im really pleased they got this far ' cant wait to see them develop so i can understand each stage. I can afford the plants to be about a metre high. If things grow bigger than i expect ill pick a grow tent up . Ive seen 1 its 120 by 120 by 200 cm which is sweet. So if needs be ill buy that.

  10. you can take it slow, but you seem to have healthy plants and a tiny cut on top and a little bit of LST is real easy and gives you so much more yield. Either way you will be pleased if you finish your grow

  11. your plants look great! After your first plant, you will have a very good (basic) understanding of grow space and light.

    its real easy, you have 3 stages. Seed to seedlings. veg phase, and then flower.

    After you get seeds to sprout or clones "to grab" its all about space.

    WHENEVER you decide to "flip" remember your plant will gain about double its size during the "stretch"
    When you flip, your plant goes through a big growth spurt once you switch it to 12/12 and last for about 2 weeks. This is when your plants have a big growth spurt in relation to "flower mode". Once your plants do the flower "stretch" your plant will put all the energy into bud formation and then your plant will slowly grow up (as buds grow upward.)
    So if you have a very small space, flip your plants now but if you can "afford" the space, let them grow as the yield will be much better.
    Simply put, you can put your plant into flower or "flip" two weeks after it sprouts or 2 months after it sprouts, but a plant that got to grow for two months will obviously have a tremendous yield.
    Read a few articles on people that grow a sea of green using plants that always grew in 12/12 (yes it can be done but with very low yields).
    Hope this helps!

    Good job by the way, your doing above average for a first grow!
