New Grower Second try

[HighnDry]

Oh really... hmm ok! When should I top? Do I still do lst with a topped plant? thanks davisgirl.

Main thing with LST is exposing new bud sites and getting the canopy as even as possible. Essentially tying some down to let others catch up. Gives best even light exposure for flowering. That's a long winded yes lol

As for topping, here's an excellent thread

So quickly and with stuff I had around, I Jerry rigged a quick plastic wall to hopefully reflect back some of the light in my crawl space. it's at 60 degrees and 33 percent RH. I am a little worried about mold but i searched the whole crawl space for mold, moisture, and any other gross stuff. i had no luck and live in a desert so i think I'll be ok for a while. here's some pics of the spider infested grow space lol. i have a bit more to do before I put plants down there but I'm pretty happy to try it.

I was really hoping to grow outside but in Colorado they wont allow it. No outdoor, no greenhouse, nothing. For a personal grow it must be in an enclosed space with a secure roof and locks to keep kids out. So if this doesn't work I will buy a cheap 400 dollar shed and air conditioner and can grow in there.

Hey so I think this journal is over. I was out of town for a week and had my wife take care of the plants. Well she hates me growing and definately hates helping but agreed to water them when the soil gets dry. I think kinda on purpose, she watered them heavily every single day and they are severely sick and droopy. I'm not sure if they will survive but I highly doubt it and dont know if it'll be worth reviving these stunted plants. Foes anyone have opinions or experience with saving plants in this situation???

I don't know how bad they are but they might be okay. Let them dry out. Hydrogen peroxide is good at stopping root rot and getting oxygen to the root zone. I use the 3% peroxide from the dollar store and mix 3 parts water with one part peroxide. Water once with that after the soil has dried.

My first grow was over watered all the way through and I got a yield. Not great but it was better than a dead plant.

Somebody might have a better solution so I'll tag @High'n'Dry and @archie gemmill .

Thanks time that's reassuring. They are dropping like zombie arms but have had some new growth starting but maybe it doesnt matter.

thanks bud, I kicked em on and letting them dry. I'm soaking 2 seeds just incase, its all I have until I order some mephisto and dinafem seeds in a week. I appreciate the help, at least I got to harvest my first grow, albeit it's a bit fluffy/ airy especially on the first plant I harvested.

Ok, so I think at least a couple will recover, but they are waaaaay stunted so I'm not sure it's worth it. Any opinions would be thankfully welcomed! Also I settled on my growing area being a closet with no way to ventilate, but I opened the crawl space door and I'm blowing a fan up. while another blows down onto the plants. I'm hoping this is enough for airflow. I am also going to buy another grow light maybe two so I dont have to use the crappy spotlight things. I was going to get a Cob led grow light and another led grow oight but white so I will have every spectrum possible.

Heres some updated pics. The photo on top is of the plant that i topped. After topping the plant it became extremely bushy, does this look ok? These plants have caused me many headaches but i am now pretty happy with how well they recovered. Oh, also one of them has started to flower and i really hope the others stretch a bit more at least another week. Thanks for checking in, i know my grows can be boring compared to the more professional growers here but stay tuned and check out my next grow. It will be a bunch of different Mephisto strains including fugue state, sweet and sour, and ghost toof.

i think im starting to get me legs a bit and it should turn out pretty decent.
