i took a new pic again. check out the last three pics i posted, they are from consecutive days, shes growing really fast now, the last 3-4 days have seen as much growth as the whole first 2 weeks...ive had to move the lights up anouther 1/2 inch or so today

well, i thought i had posted this earlier, but i guess i hit the wrong button somewhere.


i fed it nutes this morning, i water it every other day, and we had some liquid house plant food 8-7-6. not the best numbers, but its free cause i found it under the kitchen sink. my room mate's ex girlfriend got it a long time ago...

it called for 10-20 drops per quart of water

i gave 3 drops for about a pint. 1 red plastic cup full. like a beer pong plastic cup...

i hope to see a happy plant and not a burnt one when i get home from work..

got home to a welcome sight. no nute burn... (kingdavid, you can see in these pics that the leaf i was worried about before IS the bottom fan leaf)

pics from 2 angles

i cant decide it i want to top it at 6 inches, or just swtich it to 12/12. i HAVE to keep this plant as short as possible

View attachment 931061this is how i keep mine low.lst is real east and gives your plants multiple colas.

i dont see anything, just says attachment.

i've seen people talking about lst and using ties, but i dont really know anything about it. i was going to top it, but i just figured i would 12/12 at 6 inches cause i dont want a really big plant. i would like to be able to flower on like 6 bulbs max

when i decide to switch to 12/12 should i switch all my bulbs to 2700K? or leave one or two as 6500K? and should i change the bulbs the same time as the light, or wait until it declares its sex?

i think im going to top it today or tomorrow, let it grow for another week or so, then 12/12 within the next week to two weeks.
