What I have found is after performing LST to the main kola, after a coulple of days it has started growing up to the light again and will pass the new axils. So I tied it down again and got 2 to 4 more new axils growing I kept doing this for I think 5 times maybe more. Plus when the new axils reached 4" I tied them down and more Axils came out of them, now for the last week I have just let them grow up vertically no more LST. One other thing I did was whenever a fan leaf formed over a kola or axil sprout and could not be moved out of the way, I pruned it. I did this alot to the leaves over the center and it paid off with little if any shock to the plant, after removing the leaf the sprout grew and within 24 hours filled the spot with 2 leaves.
Now I have 10 to 18 Kola's per plant growing at 8" to 12" high in a true SOG style they look like nice hedges in a bucket. I am going to induce Flowering today or tomarrow.
I did take a cutting from each plant to try and sex them but on day 6 no positive sign of either sex yet.
Now this is the way I am doing my grow and it seems to working quite well for me you may want to do this or experiment continue LST on half and let the others go and see which does better.
Good luck and wish you a great grow!

Did some more LST and twisty tying today. The side shoots are apearing pretty wuick now, so i twisty tied alof of the bottom fan leaves out of th way, since the plants is bent all over the place alot of fan leave were getting bunched up and not allowing light to any of the future bud branches.
Ill try and get some pics up tonight after my night class.  |

Just veg. Yep, they're both by Advanced Nutrients. I think they would compliment the Fox Farms nicely; that's what I'm doing.

Zeb, no preflowers yet that i have spoted, i am seeing the begining of alot of secondary growth whcih is kind of like a preflower psych outs . Another crazy thing happened also, on of the grow branches seems to have managed to top itself in a way. I never tied it down because it was so much smaller than the rest of the branches i wanted it to get extra light but it has misteriously split off into 2 different grow branches by itself.... no blade necessary.
Thanks guys |

Wow. That's weird. Things are looking good. When do you think you'll induce flowering? How are they now?

I was actually thinking of inducing flowering tonight, im not sure yet tho, i was kind of trying to wait for the prefloweres. But..... i think 4 out of the 6 plants have alternating branched which from what i kno means that the plant is mature enough to start flowering.
Ill try and get some pics up tonight of my plants seeing as how the last pics are about a week old now.
PS Norkali they look really good, i have have some of the lower fan leaves turning yellow andbrown and dying but im pretty sure that is because of a couple reasons. 1. The LST has laid some of the fan leaves down on the soil, so they may be burning from left over nutes that got on em, 2. They are not getting enough light since the plant is getting pretty bush now a days. Besides that i have noticed a very small bit of what looks like ozone damage, but im not sure. I think all is going pretty well tho.

Day 33 of veg, or day 1 of flowering depending on how u look at it
HAHA Norkali as soon as i got done replying i went to look in my garden and what do ya kno, some preflowers lol, i love how the cannabis gods surprise u like that u know. MUAHAHAHA
Ok i saw a possible 2 plants w/ male preflowers, let me strss the word possible, not sure yet if they are male preflowers or just some wierd growth, pry male pre flowers tho. I also saw 2 plants w/ for sure female preflowers, that leaves 2 unknown still, and since one didnt come out of the dirt until a week after the rest i may have to wait on that one.
I am for sure turning the lights off in an hour and a half, which will be the first 12 hour day woohoo. Heres the pics tho everyone... enjoy 
Pic 1 - The plant in the far corner and the plant closest are females
Pic 2 - U can see the one that never caught the business end of my LST'ing fingers.
Pic 3 - This is what has been happening to a few of the leaves toward the bottom of the plant, most are down so far they are on the soil, which is why i think nutes got splshed on em and cooked em in the light.
Pic 4 and 5 - More pics. |

Nice! The lower leaves yellowing/dying off is no problem, they just don't get enough light to stay healthy and green. I've been pruning plenty of em' on my ladies.
Wait for those "male" growths.....just a little bit, they may decide to poke out some pistils.

Cwesto, reading your problems post, I was expecting to see sick plants... THose are FAR from ill; they look EXCELLENT. The yellowng of an occasional lower leaf like the one shown is normal, especially if it is not getting a lot of light through a dense, healthy upper canopy.
But the fact that your runoff water was ass-nasty says you were ready for a preventative flush anyway. My grow-shop guy had me LICKING potting soil recently to check for metallic/salty taste... and sure enough, it was noticeable. Hahaha.
I hope you remembered the last step, which is to weakly feed immediately after the flush?
Your 'lookout' is adorable.

Holy shit SA is on my log. WOOHOO
I kno he is isnt he Hes my viscious land weasel lol, actually hes more of a cuddly fat sausage link size fur ball HA
Yea thats awsome advice about the weak feeding, should u feed right after u get done flushing?? or treat the flushing like a normal watering then feed next time she is dry???
Also r u saying that licking soil is a good way to see if u need a flush?? |

I wish this post was under beter circumstances
Ok, so i have been trying to sex my garden the last couple of day. 2 females have exposed their fufu's to me a couple of days ago, and i was hoping to see more exposed in recent days.... However Im about 85% that there will be no more fine young ladies,, in fact im pretty sure the other 4 plants in my garden are all horny young men looking to polinate my females 
Like i sadi i am only about 85%, so it is not for sure yet. One of the apparent males has been taken out of the closet, the others, which i dont see any 100% male formation are still veg'ing, i pray to god one more of them decides to get some hairs. Oh well tho i took 3 clones from one of my ladies the other day and i think they are all doing fine so hope fully i will have 2 fruitfull ladies, and then i think im going to bloom my clones probably as soon as they root, so harvest is pretty close in time.
This makes only 25% or my original garden female  I dont get it, i thought i was gonna get at least 50%.... i kno its not guarenteed but come on 25%?? 2 of the original 8 were taken out only after 2 weeks veg, b/c they were forming males flowers already??
Is there any reason anyone can think of for my garden producing such bad percentages?? or blooming those 2 so males so long before the rest??? could i have overstressed them into blooming male?? light eaks? | |
I can't feel my face
