Thread: Grow Closet Help

true do it your way. And the buds look nice. Tell us how much you yield when they are done!

Here are a few more..... & thanx, Btw.... Still 3 + weeks till harvest!!

Hemporer:

Will certainly inform all as to the yield

Hemporer, Smoke, CanGrowIt;

How are your grows coming along?

It's going fine! But i"m not a big fan of posting pics my stuff on the net! I respect those who do it. But I dont think it's safe. If it is i would like to see proof. And to know if theres any law that protects free speech and those posting cannabis growing content on the net!

Hmmmmm

You are correct. Fortunately I reside a tad outside of the US. I believe posting a few pics will not do any harm. Personally I cannot live life feeling like a prisoner. Well that's my take on this precarious situation.

Smoke Or Anyone for that matter

Yes.
They look good.. but fkin raped em bro lol..

Dont believe the growth youve seen over the week, was because you striped all the fan leaves.
-They would have grown just the same, had you left em. However, I believe you may see some premature halt in growth, possibly some recovery, and hopefully not too bad, but airy-er buds.

The only time id be ...OK.... with stripping fan's is when people do it a week out from harvest.
-Still dont think it helps any, but by then, the bud's already around its peek.

Remember man, your first grow.. the plant knows how to grow itself....

Esteban1 do you want to learn a obscure growing technique to help reduce internode spacing? It helps maximize yield and reduces the space plants occupy. More plants yielding the same amount of bud as before in the same grow space means more bud for you.

Understood.....

& yea, I'm up to learning all things new & out there.

Ok here it goes: If nodes are distant from each other buds wont have time to bond together to form a bigger bud ( almost like a flower top). My friend showed me that technique and uses it on his grows showed it to somebody else that I know and it worked for him as well. Start from the begining of the branch(stem) and pinch/bruise internode littly, but be careful not to break the stems "skin" with your finger nails . You just apply a little pressure with thumb and index finger to reduce flow in the stem(internode) a little by causing bruising (dont crush it) . Repeat for each new internode/growth that comes out going up the branch(stem) . You only do this when the new internode is about 1 inch or close to your desired internode length( if you have enough space for finger and thumb that's a good sign). So this reduces node spacing. Because you temporary slow the growth of the internode. You will notice when you bruise the stem/internode it will swell up where you bruised it and make the stem bigger to compensate and push more juice/fluid up the stem, making the stem stronger. Dont over do it at first, it's a gradual process and make sure your plant is strong and healthy. Practice on one plant , just to get the hang of it. You never do tests/practice on all your plants. it's better this way!

Maybe you will like it, maybe you wont.But it's out there and now everyone can read it. So enjoy!

Hemporer:

Nice.... Will see if I can fit this in my next grow Curious.... I see that you are fairly new to this community.... You are also validated in your "Rating" with 3 bars next to your name?

when you like a post ,use the star in the bottom of the post window to boost reputation of other members!and if you are lucky they will do the same for you!

Thanks bro:

Was always wondering how folks received props /& they had only been on a site like a week?

Hemporer:

Gave you some props for the tidbit of info. Were you able to acknowledge some of my skills as well cuz I'm still known as an unknown entity!?

I have a few questions concerning "Reputation" on this site. I have seen peeps on this site for what..... 1 week & their rep is like 4 stars..... how can this be? Kinda feel that I might be deserving of some props but hey..... I'm cool with it either way, just wanted to get some info on this. Anyone out there willing to explain/comment?


Cheers & Happy Halloweenie

You rarely receive props for growlogs, mostly for answering questions and giving out info.

A lot of people get rep points for helping people with their questions. I mean if im having an issue with my grow and someone pops in and tells me what im doing wrong and it corrects the issue then i give rep. Thats pretty much how the rep system works. But to be honest, since the LIKE thing came around pretty much everyone uses that instead of rep. I think its cause its easier for people to find vs the rep.

I personally dont care if i have one bar or 50. Im on here to learn everything i can about growing not to win a popularity contest

Hey guys:

Thanks for the props & truly was just curious but totally understand & agree. Shit that makes sense to me is like Latin.

Push/Hemporer:


Big Props with or without the bars for all of the help getting me off the ground & Yup..... Not here for a popularity contest

Question:

I know that the kids are well into their final stages so here it goes. Judging from This pic would it be detrimental if I clipped a few of the bottom colas that are Not receiving a ton of light?

Thanx

Some people do just the opposite of that. They wait until the big buds (main colas,top flowers) are ready and harvest them and leave the smaller buds on the plant and keep them under the lights for a few more days so the buds get bigger and are worth harvesting.

That makes good sense:

Was told to do something similar... visa vie; Since colas mature at various times in development (Colas closest to the light source) THEY should be harvested 1st..... Then I suppose the ones that are in the middle & so on & so forth.

Forgot to mention that the harvest shold be done in stages occurring within a week. This info was explained to me by a grower in Oregon. Fairly simple process..... I think?

Will be doing just that.... Like ur style Hemporer****** Guys/Gals..... This is 1 plant. All of the kids are getting so heavy that I may need to utilize a stake to prevent from bowing. Ideas/comments always entertained
