6.5 weeks into Flower, Amber trichs 5%, First Grow, Advice pls!

She’s got plenty of time to fatten up for ya.

How often did you water during vegetation? How much quantity of nutes?

A newbie!

During veg, the girls took water every four days. 20% runoff, consistently. 2 gallon pots. They still take water every four days all thru flower. I slowly went from 1/2 gallon per pot, to 5/8, to 3/4 gallon. They are still at 3/4 gallon. This is all carefully checked with a meter and finger, and most importantly, runoff amount.

Nutes have been GH Flora per a pdf chart I got from Grow Weed Easy “Coco Coir Nutrient Schedule”, because I am growing in coco. When I went to flower, I doubled the nutes with no adverse effects. Veg was a bit slow, 60 days, but with LST and scrog that may be bare minimum.

Hope this helps! Also, this is my first grow. I am excited to post an update, Day 50 Flower, beginning of week 8 tomorrow.

Again please excuse my ignorance but what is LST?

LST = Low Stress Training. I bend my branches down early in veg after topping, and gently secure to the soil with wire. You can do LST without SCROG (Screen of Green) or with. This makes more colas, and prepares an even horizontal canopy. You can look up these training methods on the internet. There are many tutorials out there. (My process: Top, LST, FIM, Scrog)

Thank you however being a first time around this block I’m afraid! Lol!

ikr? reading about growing helped me a lot to not be scared. The reason people do training mostly is to increase yield. It also helps for those growing fewer plants and/or in a very small space…

Lol! I’m in an 8 foot high tent! Plenty of room. I’ll top the biggest baby in another month perhaps?

I would just say read about how and when to top your plants, and why…it is good you have a very high tent! not sure what you want that net for?

Good day. The net reasoning is just what I’ve seen others do. I have since elevated the net so my babies have no restriction.
