where r u from? u only have 2 posts on this site an only to me?

fretfanticno1 · May 10, 2011

Oh, lol. I'd rather not say for obvious reasons. I'm in Europe though. I've always just checked shit out on RIU but never really got involved and posted stuff so I decided to start now lol. Hopefully I can help with a thing or two aswell. Maybe if this growth keeps going well you could try hydroponics for your next growth. Those systems grow some serious bud and aren't too difficult to maintain if you've done your homework or are able to physically identify your plants needs.

Yeah dude but keep in mind that buying seeds constantly is not so cheap and you're not always 100% guaranteed. Clones are 100% guaranteed to grow into lucious, mouth-watering females and a great way to keep a constant supply. :weed:

That is until you get tired of that particular strain.

Just outta interest, what seed bank do you buy from?

hi guys heres some new pics, they have been flowering for 4 days now, im trying a few tips and tricks so i will have some more pics up in a minuet!!!

greenfingers80 · May 11, 2011

hi again, i decided to try LST to get a bigger yield but only decided to do 2 plants an leave 2, as stated all comments welcome and anyone who uses this method let me know if im doing it right!!!!!

greenfingers80 · May 11, 2011

one more thing everyone, if u can see in this pic i have my inline fan blowing directly on the hps light an if i put my hand 5inches away theres no heat at all, very good circulation too, whats the best distance to have the light away??

greenfingers80 · May 11, 2011

heres another post i opened about LST!!!

Cool man lookin good. Your light seems pretty far from the plants though. They're gonna end up stretching a lot and that's not ideal. If circulation is good, you're safe to keep it around 60cm (sometimes even closer than that) from your plants. In this way they will produce larger, more potent buds. Keeping your hand under the desired position of the light for about a minute is usually a good way to test too. Good luck.

i dropped it down after them pics there about 1 an a half foot away, firstly because i have such HUGE pots the light and reflector dont seem to be as big as the plants are kinda to the 4 corners of the tent, or am i jus been silly? i have re bent the reflector to open a bit am gonna drop em down and measure again, thanks buddy!!!

greenfingers80 · May 11, 2011

is it ok for me too feed em while they are bent over like this??/, they need feeding today as the soil is pretty dry, also i am still using maxicrop planth growth stimulant am waiting for my bio bizz bio bloom should be here by the end of the week!!!

fretfanticno1 · May 11, 2011

Yeah dude. Sounds good that way. Obviously the plants on the edge of the tent won't get as much light but def enough. Just don't bend the reflector too much cos you'll have light loss. With regards to the nutes, I don't think it'll be a prob to keep em on veg nutes for one or two more feeds til you get the bio bloom. Just keep in mind that you should start flushing your plants at least one week before you harvest, to get rid of chemicals and shit. Makes for a much smoother smoke.

greenfingers80 · May 11, 2011

heres the last pics of the day i moved the lst'd plants around so the top side is closer to the light also dropped the light to a distance not too close and not far away about 50 - 60 cm not exactly!!!

fretfanticno1 · May 11, 2011

Yeah that looks good dude.

thanks buddy, wen people say to flush em is that jus feeding em with jus water a few times b4 harvest or another way ive heard of how its done by in a bath full of luke warm water?? the reflector is bent a wee bit for more light span but hasent lost its bend if u get me(its not bent flat but not bent a lot niether), as in the new pics ive turned the other ones around to recieve more light and lowered the reflector too, thanks for the info mate!!
