Hey guys just a quickie, these are around 26 days old from seed now and are sitting under 2 x 250W cfl and 1 x 200w LED for vegging, As ive said in the diary they look a little condensed and bushy to me and was wondering if i should trim all the really small leaves and if it will actually benefit the vegging process at this stage... But im also afraid of getting rid of potential bud sites.... Is there an issue with flowering if the nodes are really close to each other light this ? This one i already trimmed a few bits off.. And these two i left alone and they look really bushy..

Ok so ive been doing a bit more research into the DWC method and it seems like a really good way to grow. Theres a few things im still not sure about so im hoping some gurus can shed some light. What size pot do you go for ? Ive seen some video tutorials about this and some say 3" pot and some say 6" pot, that seems a little bit small ? ( im talking about the pot that sits on the lid not the pot that holds the water / solution ) Do you still have to have some kind of soil or mix in the pot to give the plant some structure? like in the photo below can you go for say 80% of clay pebbles or hydrocorn / hydroton and then soil on top of it ? or would you just go 100% clay …

Ok so i have 6 sativas growing outdoors. They are starting to show sex. 4 are female, 1 is male and one not sure yet. Any way i want to pollinate a branch of my healthiest female for seeds for next year.. but all my plants are in the same area. and dont want to pollinate them all. How would i go about doing this?? Take cuttings of the male (then get rid of it) to make clones and keep them somewhere where they cant get the females till i get pollen from them? OR can i wait for the balls to become more mature then cut the top off the plant and leave the stem in water? (i read that somewhere) Any advice would be helpful Thanks

Gday, Does anyone know any good ideas for slowing growth for a particular branch? i've attached an amazing paint drawing to help illustrate what I mean Should the bottom set of branches just be pruned off as the sets above will always be shading it or is the a way to slow the upper branches so the bottom branches can make it clear out the side? Cheers ps. Id love to hear some peoples pruning methods for their plants. ie. Do you prune the branches to grow the same way every time like topping on the 4th set, taking off particular branches, the same amount of colas etc

Hi all I am not new to growing, however the need has arisen for me to get some medicinal plants growing fast. I have ordered some seeds with high CBD and low THC which I expect to arrive in a couple of weeks. I would like to explore all of my options as far as growing them as organically as possible, but I am willing to compromise on some things to reduce problems (such as pest problems, soil problems- bacteria etc) Are there organic nutrients available in a Part A Part B or complete nutrient? Similar to regular nutrients? I have read a few things on the net where people are adding this, adding that, and it all sounds complicated. I have read alot about worm castings.…

Hey guys Just wondering if I could get some thoughts. I just recently have been smoking some really mouthwatering outdoor from a good friend of mine. Im loving this bud soooo much right now. More a Sativa type high which is my fave. He prefers outdoor organic style growing where as I have only really got into the indoor at the moment. After buying a couple oz's at mates rates I know have a nice collection of some really well formed, pretty seeds as well as some he gave me of the same strain. I have popped 3 seeds and have some strong looking seedlings working on their 3rd nodes now just chilling in my veg box. My biggest question is should I continue these babies ind…

Hey all, I was looking for some advise on sexing plants. Mine are currently about 13cm tall and have 4 nodes. When will I be able to determine the sex of the plants? Would pictures be helpful at this stage or will I have to wait until the bloom phase to find out? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
