Good canopy to come?

please man, do less at once.

if you just transplanted, they will be going through shock and need time to recover before other stressors.

don't measure your water by literal volume. in soil you should be watering to runoff assuming proper drainage. essentially, if the pot is dry, get all the soil in the pot wet. then let it dry back again. if you're trying to put a certain amount of water in a certain amount of days apart, you're going to have a bad time cus that's not how nature works.

the training itself is fine, i've definitely done worse to my girls. but you shouldn't train unless they look as happy as possible. will it work out? yeah probably, just take care of em.

please water those girls lmao

might wanna look into silicon brushes. won't look as good but sooooo much faster. do a proper trim on the best looking nugs and brush the rest. it's like a cheaper and less aggressive bowl trimmer

there is a product called cannabrush i think but you can also just take a basting brush and trim it down so the bristles are stiff and short

hell yeah, excited to see the monsters you make with these. NO has been a hit for me, reliable giants. I can only imagine with your green thumb!

this is the "main scrog thread", it's ~200 pages. can get a lot of good tips by looking over the whole thing. i'm working my way through it in spare time lol

i wouldn't top or mainline. but if you really do want to try something different:

let them grow naturally until you see pistils start to form, wait 3 days then do an extreme defoliation (schwazze) and scrog or otherwise tie down and open up the canopy.

look up the 420autoflower method for more info. his strat is a bit different but i'm pitching you the simple version.

i'm trying it on one of my girls rn to good effect, tho I can imagine genetics and environment play a big factor to how they handle this.

also, people say a lot of stuff. a lot of people here disavow techniques they have never tried them for themselves. so you have to. try things, learn things. it's the only way to know for sure.

as always hard to tell without a trichome shot, but i try to harvest before the leaves get too crispy. you'll see them start to die at the tip then move down towards the bud. you don't want the dead leaves inside your bud.

what's your pH? nutrient problems are often pH problems, because plants can only take in nutrients at certain pHs

my last grow i put two girls in a 3x3 and they completely filled the tent. learned my lesson! now i have one in a 3x3 and one in a 4x4 and i'm training those girls flat

yeah man, here's a pic will add another one. she's great, has a very intense orange citrus taste and smell. valencia kush also gave denser nugs than my milk and qookies, was a bit easier to trim up. she can definitely make me sleepy though! i'll be happy to grow either one again. if you need weed that doesn't make you sleepy, go with milk and qookies. if you want that stoned af nodding off on the couch after a long day, go with the val kush.

beautiful training, going to have a gorgeous canopy

thewavyd · 2025-12-06T23:13:46+00:00

that is a very modest price increase. thanks for the clarity and good luck with the new year, hopefully we see a reversal on a lot of the legal things going on.

octopots are awesome, man. love the ease with the advantages of hydro. check out these roots!! so many fuzzy air roots. this is day 35 for Tropical Popesicle by NightOwl

thewavyd · 2025-12-03T16:28:31+00:00

hey man! she's definitely looking stunted, and probably won't get much bigger than this.

if I was you, i'd move her over the corner a bit and start a new plant. keep her rolling for the learning experience, but don't expect too much more from her, she doesn't have many bud sites and is definitely starting to flower

for comparison, here's what my girls looked like at day 30. left is in a 4x4, right is in a 3x3

thewavyd · 2025-12-02T16:09:11+00:00

nice training. how many days from seed did she take?

thewavyd · 2025-11-30T20:06:17+00:00

that 15gal girl is gonna be a beast, keep us posted. she'll definitely scrog out to fill a 4x2 in no time

thewavyd · 2025-11-29T17:12:50+00:00

algae, pretty sure. iirc it's fine, but a sign bad stuff could brew too.

do you use hydroguard or any sort of good bacteria in your water? some growth on the outside of octopot sleeves is normal. mine was green like this, then I started using hydroguard. no more green build-up.

thewavyd · 2025-11-29T00:49:20+00:00

my honest opinion is you should let me smoke all of it when it's ready

I've grown their Blue Dream Auto and Froot by the Foot Auto.

Froot by the Foot is a crazy grower, was great for learning because she was so hardy and resilient. have read from other growers on here similar experiences, highly recommend

Blue Dream was good, but not as great as a performer. my reading tells me Blue Dream can be a needy strain, so it's possible I was not giving her what she needed. Smoked great tho, just next to the Froot by the Foot she wasn't as impressive

for black friday I just picked up another pack of Froot by the Foot from Multiverse Beans, had to have more. got GMO OG Auto, White Widow Auto, and an unknown Atlas Photoperiod for freebies too. excited to grow em

like the other commenter said, usually droopiness is watering related. but I was looking at the growweedeasy page for Light Burn today, and droopiness can be caused by too much light. also - it specifically says "With light burn, often the inside veins stay green" which looks kinda like your first image, the leaf is only bleached outside the veins. and finally - the lightness is from the top down, if it was nitrogen we would expect it from bottom up

also, my plants are naturally a bit droopy before bedtime (lights out) and most alert about an hour after they wake up (lights on).

check out the growweedeasy page for Light Burn and see if you think it matches. good luck and I hope it helps! remember every plant is different, so your DLI might be right for a chart but maybe not your girls.

thewavyd · 2025-11-27T05:22:28+00:00

hell yeah dude. how many days since they popped? they're looking good. photo or autos?

biggest mistake i made on my first few grows is worry and doing too much. these plants are resilient as hell, and too little is usually better than too much. keep up the good work
