New Grower THINK DIFFERENT GROW

[jingo]

At what stage ro u stop tying your branches down? I heard 2-3 weeks into flower just let things grow up.but im not sure if the first week of flower ifs the little white hair stage.or if im in the first week now.if i post some pics along the way could u give your advice on when i should stop tying

There's no hard-and-fast rule, but when your stretch is over there's no need to tie your branches down anymore. So that's a good thing to watch for when the stretch is finished. Then hopefully as you get later in flower you have the opposite problem and the buds get so fat and heavy they flop out where you have to tie them back up [emoji106][emoji16]

Heres a couple pics at day 25

Definitely starting to bush out.i have a quick question about LST. See the pic below if you have to keep tying down new growth.how do u do it when its flowering if theres pistols there. As i noticed today when re tying down the main stem there where a couple pistols (white hairs ) on the pipe cleaner so i obviously damaged abit of the flower.hopefully it doesnt affect it much.

See like in this pic if i put the pipe cleaner where the arrow is.will the bud start growing up otherwise if not the pipe cleaner will be in the way. I feel the stem where it is is to stiff to keep bending now so would have to move it to the middle of the bud

but i dont want to damage the flowers of course.i think when im not high i just think into things to much lol

Also i was advised to trim the lower part of plant to make top get more goodness but i dont know when to start doing that

I just noticed noticed some synging/burnt bits on pistols i think,maybe light was too close so i raised it a bit.i hope it doesnt affect it much.

See here

This is after raising it about an inch,would u say this is too close

I also thought the main stem on one had like bent to much/snapped but after feeling i think it just looks twisted

They are definitely filling out quick

So im thinking of starting to trim the bottom up.im not having much dificuilty watering at the moment so would be just for the purpose of making the top get all the attention.but not exactly sure on how much to do so if anyone has a link to a guide on trimming the lower part would be very helpfull

Heres some pics of the lower

The last two u can see there are some big fan leaves at the bottom.

Ive been looling it up and see that some actually cut branches not just leaves,which seems crazy to me.
I no its so the tops get more attention but im thinking if your training your plant so that all the lower branches grow up and there all even and get light then wouldnt u not need to cut them off.see this pic

I see all the branches they took off on the right of the left plant.if u lst the plant then they would be up with the other branches so no need to cut off?
If so would i just need to take the lower leafs off and leave branches alone.
I think ima start watching youtube abit more for growing as seeing it done would be better than just pics of before and after u no

I take lower branches and inner branches that grow too thick and bushy. That way I can get more light to the buds and I get a better yield overall. The thing is you can remove branches at almost any time during your grow. It's much easier once the plant is in flower to see the small branches that will never develop properly and just clip them off starting at the bottom and working my way up.

The only way to really get comfortable with it is to experiment a bit. It's especially useful to have all the same strain and treat them all differently and see what happens.

Ok n yh i think your right if i did it and still had a great yeild then i would feel comfortable doing it again.
I swear my brains fucked on this grow as im just not following a set plan and just adking along the way.like i asked when to switch to hps and if i remember its when they syop theyre stretch.
But then today i just tought ahh theyre budding shit should i be using hps now lol
Im writing everything i do down as i go this time so next time i will have a plan to follow.
Hopefully with yours and other peoples help i can actually get am impressive yield that isnt to embarassing to post the results lol

Pics at day 29

Tent is definitley starting to get packed,
i might start letting things grow up as running out of space

The burning on the bud seems to be worse.
Its only one one plant which is strange and the bud that has it worse is not the tallest stem/bud.

Heres what it looks like now

Theres a couple other buds on the same plant with a little burning or whatever it is.

If u see here the bud worse affected is not the closet to the light

Anyone have experience or knowledge on what it could be or if its worth worrying about would be helpfull.
