New Grower First attemp at indoor grow/DWC Day 28

[STILLSMOKIN]

Topped at 6th knode with first 2 pulled off. I have grown many autos now and bottom two are useless.

This is good info for next attempt. Bottom 2 on some of these with the LST I did are way up high in the canopy. Will they still not produce? Should I remove them now? Anything to get light down into the plant. Thanks again Stils!

Compare the size of lower branches to uppers. All i have grown bottom two are half the size and the stretch to top canopy is not worth the yeild. If yours are at top then its probably too late to cut.

Day 53 (a few days ago)
Im still here! Ladies require a lot of attention. Had no choice but to increase size of box. Got into a 2x2x4 tent with proper ventilation. Lots of tucking & bending to try and get the light in. Defol doesn't seem to bother them as for every leaf I take they give me back 4 !

Day 70
The stretch into flower was crazy! White Widow doesn't play nice with the others as they almost doubled in height taking over in the space. I have continued to pull and bend to try to get light down into the plant. Also did some defol just before the flowering got going real good (had just to many leaves blocking light.) The plants actually reacted to the defol this time by slowing all growth for about 3 days. Then they got back to normal pushing growth again. Been toping off the reservoir almost daily with a minimum of a 1/2 gal of PHed water. Where dose it all go! Already looking forward to the next attempt so I can correct some of the wrongs I have done.

Day 90
So far so good. Not really large tops but im happy for my first attempt indoors. Do have a small amount of light damage on some of the very tips of some of the buds that have reached all the way up to the light! Tomorrow starts week 7 of flower. Seeds were advertised as 8 to 9 weeks of flower. Under the microscope I see some cloudy but mostly clear trichomes. Leaves are beginning to change color with a few falling off. So tightly packed in there worried about falling leaves causing some bud rot witch I have experienced in outdoor grows. Will feed with next water change tomorrow and then begin to think about flush.
