Hello, new indoor grower here

Welcome I can’t say good enough things abouts this community it’s absolutely the best one I’ve tried a couple apps when I got here I hadn’t grown anything since elementary school science class I did my research came here and got way more info in 48 hrs than I did in a week on Google I feel like when someone can offer some input and has a constant ability to upload progress it’s much easier to find out what works for you and what you find more problematic example quickly I was doing a lst (light stress technique) worked well but I later found out about scrogs and sea of green now I’m working on how to top a plant to get the number of colas I want specific and teach them to grown in a specific pattern you’ll see alot of people do this by nature it’s alot more work but for now I’m simply scroging and gonna tie branches to spread them my current grow is kinda an experiment ATM so I didn’t let them veg long at all just trying to get a quick study in

I’ve got one of these in my tent SECRET JARDIN Monkey Fan

Welcome Madd,

I’m also new to Indoor and just had a successful harvest with two other plants in flowering…

Looking at the photo you posted, I have a suggestion: Change your pots! It turns out that your plants get most of their air through roots, so you must ideally not use a fully sealed pot. In a sealed pot, roots will grow all around your compound looking for air and this will greatly limit the nutrient intake.

To solve this, you can find plastic pots with holes on the whole periphery that keep water inside but let air in, or you can also find grow bags that have the same property. This will ensure a regular and dense root network and proper air (Oxygen) intake for your plants.

Also one thing that is really important is the PH when you water: check and correct each and every time, feed slowly in small steps and better not enough than too much.

With this and all the good advices already posted by @Ratch33 , your babies will grow to their full potential

Enjoy!

Looks good Snow!

With topping, you’ll get a wider canopy. Here is my first attempt below, just before flowering:

You should also have a look at your pots… See my post above.

Also your leaves show a bit of an issue with nutrients, likely potassium defficiency… See Please help me identify this defficiency

No thats a burn I was feeding both plants difrently I was experimenting with feeding to see how much more growth you’d get outta heavy feeds

Indeed, that’s a good explanation

Here is a fresh pictures with topping, 2 weeks in flowering/stretch

Hi everyone,

Here a fresh picture of my two babies… Still 4-5 weeks to go, but I really think this topping thing works

Note: these are feminized seeds… Don’t try topping on auto flowering seeds

That’s a lot of colas, nice job they’re looking great

How awesome!! Good luck!! My ladies are finally in flowering…they all seem to be doing great and budding well…i just hope I’m doing it right…

How heavy were you feeding and how many times if you doont mind me asking…I was running tests on mine and seems like when I use foxfarm aqua soil I dont need any at all…and i tried my own compost as well and that actually had too much of something and caused my plant to stay light green the whole way through…I might just stick with the aqua and do molasses but still want to try other ways…

Thanks @Madd888. Post an updated pic of your ladies. My ladies are on day 27 of flower starting to thicken up.

Looking Really Good!!! @lin_diesel

Thanks @BigWorm

Super looking girls @lin_diesel ! Great job

Thanks @Deanroche. Hope you’re recovering well.

Very kind of you @lin_diesel and am really good now back where I belong just waiting on my new beans!!
I have 2 QuickGorilla fem on flower and let my neighbour look after them but I’m sure he messed up my lights for on off !I don’t think he was sticking to 12/12 but with those 2 have about 3 to 4 weeks in flower! And i had dropped an Orangebud auto seed in to soak and forgot only when I got out of hospital I remembered and when I looked to think it would be just dead seed soaked for about 6 days but the seedling came out into the glass so I chances putting on in some soil and 2 days later she stuck her pretty little head up! This is the little bud and 2 QuickGorilla

Glad to hear it @Deanroche. That’s a really cool germination story, keep us updated on the progress.

Your neighbor did a good job cause they look good. You said he messed up turningthe lights on and off. You don’t have them on a timer to turn on and off by themselves?

I dropped a gold Leaf seed when I was germinating one and one germinated alot faster than the other. I never noticed the hidden one because I kept focusing one the one seed. Then I noticed a sprout that was all yellow and redish colored and thought it was for sure dead…so I figured I’d try and revive her and as luck would have it she is growing like crazy…

It’s good to know you’re back in action. @Deanroche I just suffered the same fate and had to spend a few days in the hospital. Thank God I have a wonderful patient wife to take care of my dogs and plants. I left way to much on her being a firefighter/paramedic and working a part time job so now I have a deficiency in a couple of my plants that are flowering I’m trying to figure out. Healthy, Happy, excellent vibes to you.

Wow @BigCountry ! So sorry to hear that, it did set me back a little! I thought and was convinced I spent a week in the hospital and it was just 4 days! My Dr. Told me it’s normal after the operation, credit to your wife mate with the work and all the stress of you! And I mean that in a very nice way like worrying about you in hospital, unfortunately I ain’t married, but just a credit to you both then and my couple of QuickGorilla have been in flower plus 3 weeks and from even a dos si do auto was a week over due and the day I went out I was going to harvest it when I came back that night on the 18th of March! And in hospital I asked my neighbour to just cut it down and hang out upside down but he chopped it all to buds straight away​:shushing_face:
What can I say he tried to help but the buds on my QuickGorilla are looking waffy I had to do a complete defoliation to try get light down pic as nd show you pal
