I like to chop off the bottom branches and some side branches that I don’t think will be very productive… or anything that looks like air won’t penetrate easily.
Do a light- medium defoliation and flip the timer to 12/12.
Then I like to do another little defoliation around week 3-4 of flower. Not even close to half of what I take off before flip though! Just for airflow and so everything’s getting light…
You just recently flipped to flower correct?
Yes this is like day 5 of flower now, I have been just plucking lower leaves, anything that is changing color beneath that isn't getting light and stuff, I never did a full blown pruning session with the plants, probably should have but this is a learning experience Next run I will definitely do clones
Mush I cant wait to see buds form like you have there, lookin good
I am noticing they are going through water faster now, might switch to watering daily with a little less, I have been giving 2 quarts of water every other day or so and will be feeding once per week, I'm not concerned much though, 4/5 look excellent to me, with the middle one still lookin weird and has burnt tips on the leaves, anomaly plant, I think it all stems from feeding it while it was a little too young and in the ocean forrest soil.

Yea I have been trying to figure out what exactly to use as a riser and I tried folding down the pots, I think I would have to cut them to get them to fold down which I dont wanna do, I definitely have read every message to me here I hope you guys dont think I am just looking past what you say. If you said go dance naked in the tent at this point I would 
I will attempt to fold them down again tomorrow, maybe last time the plants were too small I was being a pussy afraid to snap a plant in half or somethin

When you see a leaf doing this, do you just cut it off?

It is a lower leaf, I do not have anything to measure ppm, any recommendations on what to purchase?
I can measure the soils pH but what do I do just keep running water through the center until it leaks out the bottom and just test that water?
I orders some plant elevator things to get them off the ground, couldn't find anything around the house to toss under so I think it was worth the $10

Looks like you'll get a good amount of bud though
Here's my plants, filling in the tent, I see why the trellis can be a pain in the ass, watering my back left plant sucks now

Lol, my issue is space, it's in a corner so that left side I can open but have to strafe between the tent and wall to get in there.
Piggy, I am excited to end this grow and start over because I know more now and multiple factors will be better, first couple weeks I didn't have the grow light, think I gave fertilizer too soon, etc
Still think they'll do well though but I dunno, first run, who knows

I second that sounds like a massive rip off. Think of all the cool shit you can do on a grow area with that $500, that's a whole new tent, light, and some seeds. Fuck that clone.

mushboy said: im think one of my plants may hit the lights
preph what size tent you got/light? you mentioned but im too lazy to go check
Tent is big it's a vivosun 48x48x80 and the light is a spider farmer sf4000
Overall very happy with everything I purchased for this and I got it all on sale on black Friday
And yea piggy, if this tent pulls 5 ounces, that's more than breaking even, any more is a plus that will last me a long time. I have been looking for a new hobby too especially in these winter months and this has filled the void, I do literally nothing in winter but work, play video games, and hit the gym so this has been therapeutic for me big time.
Edit: God damn, I went back in my photos, this is 1/20 the day I flipped versus today

The center plant which I had issues with since day one, lime green coloring, runt etc, seems to be maturing quickest, also it's darkening a little and looks more normal than it did a week ago, today is now day 13 of flower

Awesome, hope i'm right there in a week with ya.
How often should I use the Foxfarm fertilizer, it says up to 2 times per week in their paperwork but I keep seeing ppl say you should cut it down, on Monday I gave a full dose, should I just keep giving 1 full dose on Mondays like that or maybe like 50% dose 2x's per week instead? Will it make much of a difference?

For me I was giving the nutrients at full strength only once per week, I had the bright idea to try foxfarm's recommendations and gave it twice per week and thats when the same issue popped up but only 1 plant so my guess is I OD'd them. I'm just gonna give straight water for another watering or two then swap back to one feeding per week or possibly half strength twice per week, which makes more sense?

Edit: oops misunderstood post I thought you meant something other than a pH tool
at this point, it's too much of a pain to fool with it, lessons were learned this run big time, next run will be better from the gate because of all your guys' help

I was able to test the run off and it came out as 6.4pH so that makes me feel good. I only tested the one plant that was ready for watering though and it was one of the healthy looking ones. Everything has same soil and etc, should I test the crappy looking plant tomorrow too or will it be same results most likely?
