First Grow: DIY Bubbleponics (Bagseed)

Portion that was burnt bad may stop or slow to a crawl but things around it will benefit.

I saw a grower on a different site that took fingernail clips and cut the pointed 1/4 inch tip off of every trim leaf near every bud.
He claimed it made the buds grow bigger.

I've also heard rumors that cutting the tips off fan leaves will increase harvest weight but have never seen any proof to back it up.

I have never heard of such a thing.

It has now been 3 weeks 4 days since switching to 12/12. Like i said in my last post, my tallest girl grew into the light and her main cola got burned. It's not terrible so I think she will recover just fine. The light is now raised as high as it can go and I got a 14 gallon res to replace the 18 gallon that I had because it is about 6" shorter. Hopefully she is done stretching at this point. I am definitely going with some kind of training next time, either supercropping or ScrOG. Bud development is very nice and there are sites everywhere. Check out the pics and let me know what you think.

whhhheeeewwwww weee looking good man cant wait till i get 2 that point im like 2 weeks behind u. and im already seeing some sites growing. like the beginning growth at the top with the hairs comin out...deff not actual bud yet but its beginning. cant wait for these babies to be done. so i can get those feminized seeds. but keep up the good work man. glad to see all is going well with the exception of the light burning.

Thanks man. I can't wait for my fem seeds either. It will be so much easier to grow seeds from the same strain that are guaranteed female. What strains are you looking at?

The THEORY is (also applies to super cropping) that if a leaf or stem is injuried, then hormones and healing juices are sent to there to help it heal, and it increases the size and growth rate too.

So what is your opinion then Roseman? Should I cut off the leaf tips? If so, when is the best time?

I really don't have a good opinion of it. Lots of theories sound practical and good, but if I have no experiece, I can not supprort or endorse it just because it sounds good.
Like lollipopping. Sounds good in theory, and they even have a name for it but I do not accept it as good for the growth.

To me it sounds a lot like the intentional stress I use toward the end of the grow where I twist them and poke them and generally try to do everything backwards. If I would be doing this I would confine it to the last two weeks of flower to avoid having the stress hermie them. In fact I'm going to add it to my torture regime! LOL! A trimming I will go! A trimming I will go! Hi Ho the Dario, a trimming I will go! There's a really dark side of me in here somewhere!

im looking at raspberry cough...says on the nirvana site that they maximize yield when grown close together. so IMO that would be great for a setup like ours....i was just gonna get 1 pack of 5 of those and put them all in one res...and just try to point them opposite directions so i have enuf room...and then all Jock Horror...which is apparently i mix of haze northern lights and skunk....sounds AWESOME to me lol what strains r u looking at?

Looks great man wish id gotten 3 females. Thanks for dropping by my new thread, I put up more pics today.

grows looking good lt!! i cant wait until mine is to this point.

Raspberry Cough sound great and so does Jock Horror. I haven't even come close to choosing a strain yet but I am looking at Super Lemon Haze.

So tomorrow marks 4 weeks into flowering so I will post pics then for anyone who is interested.

Today marks exactly 4 weeks since switching to 12/12. Buds are beginning to fill in and there are bud sites EVERYWHERE. Check out the pics.

Yours looks like mine! We must both be about at 4 weeks of 12/12????

Exactly! I believe we switched on the same day.

looking good LT!! i deff should of got a 7' tent but hey that just means i got to buy another then i have one for veg and one for flower!
