Hello again fellow growers. I am 60 days into my first grow, and I am quite lost with how to proceed, plus some general questions. It would be really great is someone can help me out here cause I really don’t want to mess this up after getting so far.
I have 3 plants in a 4x2, from left to right: RQS Critical, Seedsman Blueberry, RQS Amnesia Haze:
Single pics of each plant:
RQS Critical:
Seedsman Blueberry:
RQS Amnesia Haze:
I topped each plant twice (once from the main stem, and then a week or so later on top of node 3 of the 2 main stems) and did a manifold the Nebula Haze method. I only tied down the growth tips on node 1 of each plant though, the tips at node 3 were too small at that point to tie them down (and I’m also running out of space to stretch them out more towards the tent walls/door). The Blueberry was only tied down from the 2 main stems, and I didn’t tie down any growth tips, they were very small and short so I was worried to force them. Here’s a pic to show what I mean:
Amnesia Haze: (tied 2 main stems and tips from node 1)
Blueberry tied: (only tied from the 2 main stems)
So, my questions in this point I’m at are:
-
Is it time to flip to flower? Plants are 36" away from the light, and I don’t have too much room left on top to lift the light. Getting worried about the flowering stretch.
-
I have a SCROG net, would now be a good time to set it up?
-
The top growth of the Critical (and a bit on the Amnesia Haze) are showing yellow tips (image below), is this light stress or a nute problem? Some of the leaves’ sides are a bit wavy also as you can see. My light is an Electric Sky ES300 (330 Watts) on 65% intensity with the dimmer, 36" away from the plants.
-
This is just for curiosity and not an issue, but why is th Blueberry so small in comparison to the other 2? Is it cause it was in the centre so maybe the other 2 starved it for light from the sides? Or maybe just genetics?
Final question, this one is for you @beardless , after reading through your journal ‘GDP to start the new year’ (GDP to start the new year - #134 by beardless), in post 134 you pinch off the new growth tips at node 1, why do you do this? Should I also be doing this since I’m following the Nebluze Haze manifold method?
I would like to thank everyone here in advance for all the patience and advice. You all have helped me on more than one occassion and I truly do appreciate everyone’s effort here.
Best wishes to all, and thanks once again for everything!
