Your lucky you didn't just kill them when did that. 4x is a big mistake. Looks good now though.

Yeah i was nervous at first but all but one is looking healthy amd not that it doesnt look healthy just really small.

But here are all the rest of them to compare them day 14 from seed.





The second is best so far but we'll see how it goes.

Watch ur PH my pineapple was very touchy, Great high

For most part I have been staying pretty steady at 5.8 but how do you tell if the ph is off or what effects does it have on the plant?

do you have ph meter?

yeah I do. I mean I do test it when I change it but I have never just randomly tested it.

Four plants in same pot? Are you going to stop growing them at 12" tall or something?

There is 2 per pot 4 total. I thought it would be ok since it was a 10" pot and thought if i needed to i could just start to bend them, or is this not a good idea?

i would do 1 per pot but thats just me

I don't know why everyone obsesses over ph just use something that is a naturally neutral ph... Rain water I use it for all my grows never checked ph once all i have to do is strain the rain water and im good to go

Yeah i was just thinking about makiing something to catch it not sure where to start though have to do some research.

Here is the latest pics Day 17.
I am not sure what i am going to do with the littliest one i was thinking about just pulling it and let that one just take over the whole pot because it is the largest for sure and i know once it gets too big the little one will get no light. Unless can these be transplanted? they are in 1.5" rockwool probly 2 inches down i just didnt want to risk the big one doing so.
These are the other two about equal in size. Once again about transplanting if i could i would like to put these each in there own bucket is this possible? I will take pics of the roots tomorrow when the light turns back on. Also I was going to wait another week to change the nut but I am not sure if since they were bigger in size that i should change it now and drop the water down and also add more nutrient because right now I am at just over .5ml to about 3 gallons of water and I know it is suppose to be bumped up in full veg. so any thoughts on all this would be appreciated. fyi that nut has been in there 11 days.

Yes you can transplant. Just be careful on digging the roots out they might already be tangled up together. No worries if a few snap or break off they will be fine, just put them in there own buckets with net pots. I have dug up and moved many plants, some I thought I killed but all were fine.

I would never plant two plants in one pot like that, but that's just me not because I tried it. I just want assurance that if something goes wrong or infects one plant it doesn't involve the other one in the same medium.

I was only going to do 1 at first but then I was talked into 2. I was thinking about just starting to pull them in opposite directions when they got big enough to create a V.I still have a while though because right now the biggest one is 5" and i prolly wasnt going to flower till about 15-18" in that range.

Has anyone ever heard of the fimming method to topping? I tried it today i am going to give it a couple days see what it looks like. figured tried an expirement. All it says to do is cut 80% of the newest growth and you should end up with 4 main branches.

Fimming is the shit if done right it can be botched though so be carefull. To fim AKA fuck i missed. Take the top growth and cut not all but some of doesnt matter how much little is better DONT CUT THE HOLE TOP OFF just half or a little more. I love fimming and you can get huge ass bushes if done right. Fimm the top then in about three weeks fimm all tops you should have atleat 4 . I fimmed my most recent bitch and she exploded im am going to fimm her again. And cant wait to see the resualts with a hydro plant. Man i need Digi cam so i can post pics and dont look like a joke ha ha ha.

I tried it on one for now the article i read said 80 so i already cut it alot lower than half so we'll see

I too have used rain water in the past. However the ph of rain water is not neutral. If you check it you will find that it varies greatly from acid to base. I have tested just rain water nothing added at any where from4.9 to 9.0 depends on whats in the air when it rained.

So my first transplant didnt' go as well as i hope i believe i had one fatality and another on life supposrt. i am goinng to them till tomorrow to see if they dont spring back to life and not thinking about it before had i had try transplanting the one i tried to fim a cpl of days ago. It was showing progress and a Y was forming so i dont truly think i fimmed i think i just topped it. I will post pictures of the other 2 tomorrow and i will probly just start some violator kush in germ tomorrow when i find out for sure.
