My dog is an Italian Mastiff. We have 3 right now with 12 new babies. We are breeders. I will move the lights now. Was keeping them about 4 inches above but thought the leaves looked like they were getting burn so raised them up
Not sure if anyone has said this but preflowers are a good thing I rarely flower a plant without first seeing some preflowers

best dogs ever!!! Cane Corso and they do not shed or drool as much as other mastiffs super intelligent, obedient and loyal. That is why we became breeders, too many back yard breeders who do not do a good job. Education and a strong alpha in the home is a must. not the average dog for the average person!!!

You should be able to keep your T5 around 4-5 inches above T5 shouldnât burn your plants unless maybe they touch lightâŚmine regularly get closer than 4" to light
No they are definitely not your average dog for just anyoneâŚthey do need strong alpha in home for sure⌠Neapolitans droolâŚwe keep towels in every room my wife calls him our house horse lol such loyal dogs⌠your dogs are beautifulâŚI chose not to crop my dogs earsâŚthe breeder did his tail⌠@hippy4life

Donald got a good point there I goofed on my White Queens and jumped her in 12/12 to soon some strains like hybrids take longer then others especially if youâre popping reg seeds,fem seeds are always the way to go but you could always get a Hermie or it could just flop sex from them as well from any kinda stress like heat stress etc.
Those white hairs and bulbs at the point where the leaves attach are the gender identifiers. If you get those bulbs with no stamen then itâs a male. those are females and it is telling you it has reached prime flowering time it itâs mind. You can continue to veg as long as you need to still without it going into flower as long as you keep the light over 12 hours.

Great advice There Willy and using a rotating fan on low speed will also help to strengthen Limbs and roots at young age and help from heat stress and moisture buildup on the leaves and mold ,t5 seems to be the best way for seedlings and veg still with all the new technology we have today I found t5 my fav even t5 shop lights to be the way to go and save ,after a few fires from using top end lighting systems I dropped down to t5 fluorescence for veg and affordable leds full spec with ir for flowering Mars Hydroponics seems to always be running deals on them so keep an eye out for sales i got my 2nd 144 Ver2 veg/flower/full spec ir for under 200 beans was well worth it and so far got 7 yealds from my old single led light set but I still use t5 for veg ,leds you have to watch out for burnt tips so its daily babysitting adjusting the LED system up to 18 to 24in from tops so I had to get a ratchet set that made light adjustments easy and fast and mars threw 2 sets in with the lights set for free, it was during their anniversary sales I also got a grow tent from them years ago still using that and the first 144 led set from them for my small grow stage.

I have a nice fan blowing them around to help them dance, they are on a 18/6 cycle and having a few issues with ph or nute burn but doing pretty good for 1st grow. we have 2 led lights to use when they go into flower. I will let them get a little bigger before switching. Considering they burst thru the shell on 9/20 I am very pleased. thanks everyone for your help and advise. Together we can all make it

Since youâre using soil there I found some great soil called Dr Earth POTting soil helps to give them everything you need and regulate PH and food for a long time this stuff was created just for us canna growers hence the POTting soil in its label depending where you live they change the label to Potting soil ,worm castings,kelp seaweed extract,bat guana,big and coarse perlite, probiotic,contains no gmoâs, chicken manure Or sewage sludge & Is people & pet safe,i bought 6 large bags of this stuff and have no problems and I did not have to pre-cook the soil to kill of parasite or gnat eggs ,just add water for the first few months no need for using chemicals and you can make tea with the stuff just with tablespoon of unsulphured molasses 8 cubs of the soil and water in a 5 gal mud bucket ,and a 24-hour air bubbler stone in room temp,Vader talked me into trying it saves all the headaches I had 6 yields using this stuff the whole way threw and I have never had to use chem or extra nuts and remember if the soil smells sour donât use it cook it first,are you using tap water and what nuts are you using ?
thanks I will look in to it for the next grow. Using black gold potting soil and dyna grow now for nutes. will switch to dyna bloom at flowering stage

Remember always go by the charts with nuts going under is always safer then going over or there recommendations can hurt ya since most of them nuts are tested using Hydroponics sys and soil holds nuts and by the next feeding it builds up over time and can lead up to overdosing chem burns, always flush your soils before cropping your yield usely a week or 2 before cropping some chemicals can also be very dangerous if absorbed into your system even threw your skin ,I had it happen to me years ago i got really sick and I was mix my own chem npk and ect I just got some on my hands few hours later started feeling sick,docs did blood work and found some of the chem in my blood.
All Help Appreciated: have a small closet setup & some of the Girls are 72days old & about 1ft tall(, noticed that she started showing Pre-Flowers about 25- 30 days in & was Transplanted in 3galâs (the question is) do anyone know WHY GROWTH WOULD STOP?? Sheâs not looking bad in fact she looks good until you learn sheâs 72 days old (side note:she looks like a healthy 55day old plant) & really not showing any signs of toxicity or deficiency & is receiving about 18-20 hrs of light, it just seems like ALL growth have stop & even the bottom sprouts arenât growing/shooting out, shes not even getting bushy. Whatâs Concerning is that the Pre-Flower Piston are increasing & is looking like it wants to flower but Again itâs getting 18-20hrs of lightâŚAgain all help is Greatly AppreciatedâŚ(P.SâŚIN YALL OPINION-Do this Lady look 72DAYS OLD??)
She looks good, and sheâs showing you that sheâs ready to flower any time you choose. Nice growing!
