Ok boys...
Thanks for stayin cool joker! Hope you & the fam had fun :)
So here's my newest problem...
I kinda want these girlies to not grow super tall, & maybe outward instead :/... I'm not sure that's even possible, I think all the pics of Aussies I've seen were pretty tall & narrow... But if it is possible, any suggestions as to how?!?

Ah I don't get bent at dumbasses like this guy on the net I just laugh at how idiotic they look... If you are looking to keep them short I think I got a few suggestions for you... That is if you want it ;-)
You could top them to keep them short...

You could LST them to keep them short...

You could use SCrog to keep them short...


Just do your research and see what is within your comfort zone and work with it. Once you decide to get outside your comfort zone the fun starts :D Good luck

LST is the best option, if you don't want to top them. Even if you do, sometimes they have to be tied down anyway. lol Oh! Another thought for you - you can get emergency blankets from Walmart for less than $3, all they are is thin mylar - work great for growrooms - it's what I use. They'll be in the camping section, where all the emergency gear is - first aid kits, compass, etc. You can also get them online for cheap.

lst was what I was thinking, I just didn't know if they were too old/big for that...
I'm not sure I trust myself with topping & all that jazz :/ maybe my next grow tho, cuz that definitely seems like a pretty fabulous route to take!!


So I've worked my way down to using 10-15-10.. Anything else was WAY to harsh. & I'm only using about 1/10 dilution method & only using about 1/4 cup of that water/nutes then... And after that tiny bit of almost nothing, lol... This is what happened:

Too many people have made this exact mistake. If using Dr Shultz it is no good for growing this beautiful plant. Stop being cheap and get the typical hydro or soil nutrients from a hydro shop. DS is crap for growing, always has been, always will be lol. I was in the process of editing my post yesterday when I went for a smoke then lost train of thought I think. I got started looking at movies cuz I was asked to so here are the links to Scrog stuff I have found here on this site. (not an in depth search yet)

Didn't find a more direct How to on the scrog. I will look more later

LOL @ your adhd symptoms...
& TRUST ME deary, that wasn't the first nute I started on!!!! I literally have tried like 4 different things! This is surprisingly the only one that doesn't completely screw with them when used. But hell.. I'm starting to think that no nutes at all is probably my best option right now.

I temporarily thought that... But the thoguht of transplanting AGAIN... just makes me cringe!
& It's the same soil combo I've always used... Well, always used along side others...
Idfk anymore... These 2 have been the biggest pain in my bum!!!

Any suggestions!?

I dont know where your at, but.. start fresh.

Sorry, but thats soil looks shitty.

Go to a hydro shop and get yourself a bag of some Superior soil, and do it right the first time.

Your ferts are a bit high on the p, but it'll do..

I believe you'll get away with it.

If you want some primo soil ferts grab the dynamic duo from this place>>>http://www.jacksclassic.com/dynamic_duo.html

Very cheap, and imho.. the best fert. you can buy for soil.

$20 delivered to your house.. cant beat it. Thats veg AND flower.
Good luck to you :)

Too old??? Never! haha Seriously - I don't tie mine down until they are in flower, if one of 'em gets too big and starts tryin to hog the light. But when they are older - start the training when they are thirsty, they are a bit more flexible then. And go slow - don't try to bend an older plant all the way down, in one step. Don't forget to tie a line to the base of the stalk, going the other way! They're strong - will uproot themselves trying to straighten out, if you let them!

They can't be too old but can in some ways. If you bend them slowly they will still lst but is a slight bit more stress on the very old ones. If you lst yours now they should be fine and I would start that soon if I were you. You could do it easy if you removed the pole they're tied around lol.

lol, Really!? Remove the pole!? haha jk!
& jeepers you 2! Act like I'm crazy for thinking they're too old, why don't ya ;) I just didn't know, since ALL of the info you find out there says you need to do it within the first few weeks, like when they only have 3-4 sets of leaves, etc.
I kept the pole so that the bottom of the stem could stay grounded by that. Slightly bent them so they're just kinda flopped over, & going towards the side light. To be honest they seem pretty content like that! I figure tomorrow I'll pin them down & I'll probably work it into a loose coil as it grows. I figure that will be best so I don't have to rearrange lights, add lights for the length, etc etc.
And since I got my butt chewed... I went out & bought YET ANOTHER thing of nutes. This one is from a local nursery.. kind of like a special homemade recipe.
It's 24-8-26. I think the high nitrogen will definitely help them. It's been like 4 days since the last time I gave them a tiny amt of the other stuff. So I gave them a teeeeny tiny bit of this stuff. See how it goes I guess.

& closetgrowth.. Soil probably looks crappy because I don't feed from the top. I've got a bottom feeder pot, that's what these girls prefer! They spazzed every single time I've ever tried watering from above. Plus it's a mix of soils. It doesn't always look the best, but it usually works fabulously!

I personally feel if you aren't using FF you probably should be lol. As far as not knowing, I wasn't trying to haze or anything, I was just simply saying go slow and they should be fine. I will do a Lst to help with your plants and you can follow along with me. Give me until the end of the day and I will post a thread dedicated to Lst for you. I would like to flower some of my bigger ladies (mothers) but know they will be HUGE and will need more room and light than I have. I will lst them until I feel they won't grow to the light too badly :D I'll get back to ya

I know I probably should be using FF... But the stuff I got the other day seems to be working fabulously!! My baby girls are looking awesome :) They've got they're color back, & they're really filling out. Which is *exactly* what I wanted!! YAY!!
FYI: I'll probably get for any future gardening :)

As far as not knowing, I wasn't trying to haze or anything
I know.. I was just pickin on you!

& Cool beans on the lst thing you're working on. I've figured out, what's probably an unorthodox way of doing it. But hey, it's working!
I'll try to get some pics up some time soon to show the progress lately!... I've just been so busy! We're *FINALLY* having nice weather here, don't want to miss it!!!
