Indoor Second indoor auto grow...mephisto-Deep Blue C/Barney-pineapple express.

[Wingnut]

Week 3
Girls are looking pretty good. The Pineapple Express has a slightly discolored streak in one of its leaves but, don't think it's a nutrient issue.
The Deep Blue remains pretty squatty but, filling out nicely. I added some angled light reflectors to try and shrink the overall footprint
Of my space and hopefully increase my watts per sq.ft. Fed the girls a light feeding of Grow Big yesterday and switched them from
24/0 to 18/6. Since I'm space limited I use some restrictive potting as well and am hoping for slightly smaller yet dense plants. We shall
See...

Looking good Wingnut

 

[Wingnut]

Thanks shumway....this is a cool and supportive community. I'm open to any advise.

 

[shumway]

Ya its a pretty awsome place with lots of talented growers so suck up as much info as you can lol

Since you aren't working with too much height you might want to try some lst,That way you can spread out the plant maximizing both you're light input to the plant and your yield

 

[Wingnut]

Would you recommend bending the main stem over or opening up the side branches as
They become a little more established...I've followed a few grows where LST was used but, never
Attempted myself....only topped a couple photoperiod plants. Thanks for the response

 

[shumway]

It really all comes down to how far you want to take the lst lol On my shorter plants i usually just open up my side branches and i'm done but the last couple i've topped them bent the main and kept working the whole plant pretty much right up until harvest adjusting it here and there

Don't be afraid to experiment,Only way we really learn in this hobby is to be hands on and learn from our triumphs and mistakes lol

Ok....thanks. I think I'm gonna let the deep blue do her thing since she is so squatty and go for the cola. The
Pineapple on the other hand is really reaching so I think I'm gonna bend her main stem over and let the side
Branches come up and see what she does...thanks for the help.

No problem

Check out my grow and you'll kind of see how mine is worked and maybe give you ideas for doing yours (link in sig)

Well, took Shumway's advice and did some LST and some fan leaf tucking on the Pineapple Express yesterday. It is amazing how quickly these plants respond to their environment.....I think she likes it..! Thanks for the tip.
