Indoor 3rd GROW just started!!!!!

When they stop getting taller.

SOrry, had to do that! Mine stopped for good at about Day 30 - 33 after sprout. Then the only height it put on was from the top getting fatter.
But who knows, it's gonna depend on a few more factors, which you know of course. To answer your question, my guess would be, soon.
:smokebuds:

Thats ok Noods, I did ask a dumb question. But man I hope they stop soon, I'm going to run out of room.

Not a dumb question! "The only ones of those are the ones not asked.." -said someone smart once.
lol I can definitely understand your concern about them getting too big in there. It's getting nice and crowded in there.

Box is looking nice and full Jim. Vertical growth should slow or stop in next week to 2 max. Then full bloom nutes and we will watch the buds fill out together. Just keep the pics coming lol

I've been a little gun shy with the veg nutes Grow big since I over dosed them. lol. Going to give the 1/4 dose on next feeding. But the over dose and the flush it what seams to have kicked them on to overdrive.

Same happened for me. Moved them to 1/2 strength seen a few tips go yellow on 1 out of 8. Gave em 2 doses of clean 0 ppm bubble water and walla. 4 inches in less then 48 hours. I just Fed them again yesterday I believe but went back with 1/4. Not quite ready for 1/2 stregth yet.

Hey guys, Here are a few pic’s from tonight. I will have a few more pics I took with a real cam on here tomorrow. My usb port is broken on my lap top, cant load them tonight.
Ok, few things going on now. Most of my side branching in growing much faster than the main cola. On about half of the side branching they have split and have 2 bud sites per branch, I’m not sure why, but im not complaining. I had to move then light again tonight, again I’m not complaining. I might have done a bad thing but I did trim some fan leaves. Tucking the leaves was just not working. Every time I tucked a leaf, when I got home it popped back out. Was I suppose too tie them? I’m very happy about the progression going on. This is the best start I’ve had!! Will post more pic in the morning, I got some great shots in the box of all the tops that have started.

I'm diggin the overhead shot. I've seen 2 side by side comparisons of autos grown. 1 fan leaves trimmed 1 left alone. In both the one left alone did better. I believe that's why dr autoflower talked about the tucking method. People are afraid to F with them for the short veg time and the risk of stunting the growth. Tho plants that did have a few lower leaves trimmed didn't to bad. They still produced nice plants with good yields just not as good. It's not like your going to cut 2 fan leaves and they're going to just fall over and die. It's just not recommended. Others trim the very bottom ones later on in the grow for air circulation. If they're not dying or un repairable theyre better left alone. Plus your just starting to
Flower and the plant pulls in most of it's light through those leaves for bud growth. The lower buds are going to be smaller regardless. The difference of light to them this early on is not going to increase they're yield as much as how much overall growth you can lose from them not absorbing light and giving the plant energy for overall growth. Ive never personally done this myself. All information is gathered from countless hours and days of reading journals of 3 sites I am/was apart of and YouTube videos and articles written. But it does seem like a better idea to leave them alone especially how early on in the flowering stage you are.

Also I do use the tuck method. I wrap em back and around the inter node branching. I haven't had a problem with them springing loose. If they did I'm sure a little tie wouldn't hurt. Most likely alot better then cutting

This is why I love this site!!!

Captain, I have never had it explained to me like you just did. From this point on, I will not touch a fan leaf until it wants to fall off. I’m very new at this and still trying to go with my gut, which means nothing at this point. It is just looking so full and like a jungle. I hope I have not stressed them out to much.

This is what its all about bro. Ive been apart of your grow from the start. Glad i could help. Nah you should be fine. I would have to see a pic to be certain you didn't go balls out an Hack the crap out of it. Then you could stunt them to a point of noticeability. If
You just took 2-3 then you still may lose a little growth but nothing drastic. Taking a few is not going to send you from a 20 g yield to a 2 gram yield. You got to remember how nature intended. The cannabis plants been growing for thousands of years. When it's got a problem, nute, pest ect the lead will die and fall off naturally. If the leaf is healthy enough not to fall off on it's own the plant is still using that leaf to absorb the light. In my photo grows or photo grows for that matter you have room for trial and error. You can afford the time because the veg time is as long as you want it to be indoors. You can give it the time to heal, repair and re grow. With autos time is much more critical.

New Pic's Take a peak


Finally I got some pic’s with a real cam. Now you can see whats been going on in the Mini Jungle.
Hey captain, as you can see I did not trim out to many fan leaves. I think it was about 3 per plant. I was nervous to open the box this morning, I was hoping they were not going to be pissed at me for ripping of their leaves. But when I open the box they were Very Perky and standing tall. Oh and the smell is getting stronger now the last few days. They will be getting Ph’ed water at 6 to 6.5 with 1 tsp molasses tomorrow. My ph is right at 7 if that meter is any good. I hopeful I will get a nice yield from this. Does anyone have a options about growing in one container like I am good or bad.

This around day 30-31
