LOP EM ALL OFF!! SHOW THOSE BITCHES WHOSE BOSS!!






just kidding don't that, it's a bad idea...

ill decide tomorrow but who knows ill update tomorrow, but after the two days im sure theyll be shitting pistils

The last couple of weeks is when the plants put on most weight yet this is also the time that they are being flushed which indicates that they take all their food from the leaves at this time. For this reason I like to have plenty of foliage to ensure they have something to eat.
If you have plenty of foliage then consider cutting. If not then just bend things out of the way.

Agreed, I wouldnt even cutem though, Id just bendem around.

alright thanks guys

LOL. Question answered? I've seen lots of peoples' grow journals where they cut way too much and it ends up hurting things in the end. If you look at my Beatrice, you'll notice I cut 3 leaves off at the stem.. 2nd, 3rd and 4th node leaves.. but only on one side. Outside of that, I make daily adjustments, tucking most out of the way.. wrapping them up under the bud they're attached to. The ones I don't tuck, I do a quick sever of SOME of the leaf with my thumbnail, but that's only after I've tried to wrap it. Beatrice's leaves are a bit fatter than your assholes, too. So.. that might make a difference. If you're seeing enough light get in there, just tuck them out of the way.. or paperclip them folded / rolled. Again, Beatrice has massive leaves, so I wasn't worried. v12's usually right, though, so I'll probably pay for it in the end.

Day 43 - 5May/09 - Plants
Lights: 4 x 23w 2700k CFL
Light Cycle: 12/12
Temp: 80.2F

Pics 1-4: Heres Nedra looking beautiful tied some of her branches down to hopfully expose some light to the smaller branches. A few more pistil sightings so far so good.

Pics 5-8: Heres Kendra looking wonderful... kinda lol. pistils are getting longer and lower branches are getting bigger slowly.

Is there anything else i can do you guys i feel like i havent been doing much for them other then the odd tie down and watering... both still smell very planty still. but any opinions and advice are greatly appreciated. as for the regret title i think i regret not vegging long they are so damn small! oh well

Looking good man. As far as I can tell from reading, there's not much more you can do except keep a good eye on the bud sites and keep them out of the shade. You vegged about 35 days correct? I ask because I'm at about 30 days and was wondering how much longer I should veg mine.

MO-lass-is. better known as Molasses, check out bakedat420's thread here he's doing something with molasses that is supposed to fatten up the buds during flower. might make your little ladies more fruitful so to speak. amp up your lighting if at all possible. other than that, i dont know bro. just remember growing is supposed to be a fun hobby, don't stress too much over yield, and just remind yourself in a few weeks you'll be enjoying the fruits of your labor.

shackle ill read more about mole-ass-is lol and maybe ill take it into consideration, i think ill greatly consider a scrog my next grow. and i dont stress i get bored. they are the most boring kids ive ever had to take care of...

yeah, im in 2 30gallon tubs stacked. I'll probably end up vegging until about day 50 or so, then throw them into the flowering cycle after that.

yah that sound like a good plan. keep it up bro!

lookin' hot, man. They're about the size of my Citral #2, which is on the verge of showing sex and needs to get bent today or tomorrow. Your LST is fab, btw. I'm sure I've told you this before, but it rocks.

thanks ele is there anything else you think i can do for them? or just let them be teenagers and do their own thing...

Ghetto CO2 is about the only thing I could suggest, really. Your babies look healthy. I'm about to do a ghetto co2 at home, too. Beer bottle w/ brewer's yeast, 3 tbsp sugar (corn sugar preferred) and water. Voila!

alright ill start looking towards CO2 soon, i play paintball and i have a CO2 tank could i use that and put it on slow release?

i have CO2 insight! HOLLA! i might be useful!

i just picked up some carbonated water (club soda) any water fortified with CO2. Avoid tonic water, it has guanine which i assume is bad for plants. put it into a spray bottle and mist away. i've heard/read that the leafs take the CO2 in through the leaves same as the would if it were in the air.
also those little paintball CO2 cartridges, go pick up a whip its dispenser, better known as a whip cream dispenser. just snap your CO2 in place of the nitrous it uses for whipping cream. leave the container empty and give it some puffs under the leaves. (not sure the second method is very effective given the method of release. but i've heard good things about the carbonated water)

I wouldn't just crack open a co2 container on 'drip'. If you want to use the cannister, grab a small co2 release system. As a homebrewer, I'm very certain the yeast / sugar method works. You can smell when the co2 is coming and, if you use a brewer's airlock, you can also see when you're slowing down to nothing. I've been wanting to do this, but I've been admittedly lazy about it. With a day off tomorrow, I may just build it.

sweet thanks shack so i just spray club soda on the leaves?

according to mr green. yes! Mr. Green - I Grow Chronic!! i learned most everything I know from these videos. He grows on a large scale, but his "theory" and techniques can be adjusted to fit any scale. I recommend watching it to any grower looking for help. (sadly its broken up in parts on YouTube. Just google to find it full length.
