New Grower Gorilla Glue Autos in a 4x4 tent. New grower. Advice welcomed.

Honestly I would recommend topping 3 or 4 times. You might get more lst training, but you don't get as big of colas you just get more popcorn size buds depends on what you want. Fermented is right about not overdoing lst. Eventually parts will die there aren't enough roots. My two cents.

Hey @mdabber! Thanks for stopping by.
Any chance you have any topping guides in mind that i could look at? I have no idea how to top .
I personally prefer those big dense looking buds.
Glad you guys brought that out to me.
Somewhere on google i read after they have their two main stems to start lst, the earlier the better.

I think my girls are getting thirsty, the pots felt relatively light today so I gave them another feeding.
Split 14 cups of water between the two and had no run-off. (originally feeding 7 cups each, every ~4 days) will up to a gallon for both next watering. The last time I watered was with nematodes 3 days ago.

Today before watering:

To this watering I added; 1/4 strength of Big Bloom, Grow Big, and Cal-Mag. Also added Silica and Yucca extract.

With some advice from @Fermented_Fruitz I'm deciding to slow down on the LST and just let my girls grow how they like. Will LST again later on in their growth.

Waiting for some products to arrive before I plant the Mephisto beans!

What’s that big white thing in the corner??

Cooling fan. Keep the temps down and adds some humidity.
Takes ice packs and water.

What kind of humidity does that make in the tent?? Seems like it would have it jumping up and down!

Its not bad. At the start of this grow i was struggling to keep my VPD in range. Had to try multiple things.
Fyi i’m running the fan AND a humidifier.
Humidifier goes off with the lights, and the fan manages to maintain my tent in VPD range.
I’m sure i’ll have to remove one of those things later on in the grow, and had a dehumidifier.

Well Mephisto Grape Crinkle sold out one minute into the drop

Got some Strawberry nugget beans though!

I went a little crazy buying seeds, got a lot to grow now

 

[ItzSticky]

Starting to get a bunch of pistils

Three days later and theyre begging to be watered again!
I’ll split a gallon between the two this time.
I added nutes last watering so i will leave them out this time. Maybe just add some silica and yucca extract.
What do you guys think?
They seem like theyre close to flowering.

Should I continue to keep letting them grow or start lst’ing them again?

They looks good to me! The second looks like she could use some leaf tucking but the first seems to have a pretty even canopy. You could maybe bend down the one cola thats towering over the rest on the second one to the same level as the other branches but otherwise I wouldn't mess with them too much! Make sure you start them on transition nutes soon if you haven't already, they're going to need that pk very soon.

Hey Suki!
I’ll get to maintaining that second one today!
I’ve been feeding with Grow Big and Big Bloom.
I’m not sure which one the transition nute from is. I’m assuming tiger bloom?

Grow Big: 6-4-4
Big Bloom: 0-.5-.7
Tiger Bloom: 2-8-4

If you say their P.K. intake will increase im guessing I should start feeding the Tiger Bloom?
