those look like good numbers to me on the nutes, and the ladies are looking good tom-tom. i'm using hydro-nutes on my soil ladies as well as in my hydro, just mix up per gallon recommended and what cycle it recommends and ya cant go wrong...at least i hope not, thats what i'm doing and my ladies are looking like hotties. great job so far bro.

 

[tom-tom]

ok guys and gals the plants are doin great nice and green and gettin bigger by the hour ,,ok today im going to go by a case of botle water cause i dont want to take the chance with chlorine anymore cause i still think i been gettin a little left in the water and i dont wanna take a chance on harming the plants so if any one can recamend me some botle water that is the best i would apericate that ,,i do have to say tho this growin is addictive i collect baseball cards since i was a little kid and to me this is just like any outher hoby just a lot better i love waking up in the morning and goin in my grow room and seeing the new growth lol every day their is a lot of new growth its amazing just watchin this happen in the matter of hours,,so any ways like i said i think im officaly addicted to growin lol any ways i took 5 picks and i got a copple questions about 2 of them ok pick number 5 if u look close their is 4 leefs on this one their is only soposed to be 3 leefs just like on the direct outher side their is only 3 but for some reason this one has 4 ,,does this make my plant a freak lol and also will this give any clues in to sex like more male plants have extra leefs our vise a versa i dont think so but i thought mabey a experinced long time grower might have seen this before and mabey noticed a comparsan in this sernario.And last question is on pick 5 their our new leaves growin out of the top of the branches i no this is normal but i wanna no if they call these leaves a certin thing ,,and what is alternating nods and do i have any? thank u all and i hope u all had a good tom turkey day,, ps the leefs on the bottom on pick 4 our hard to see they are the ones close to the bottom of the plant right in the corner of the branches

Plants look good Tom-Tom
Dont worry about number of leaves it doesnt mean anything.

The 4th pic is just where another branch is going to grow out.

Alternating nodes are when the plants branches are not straight across from one another but staggered up the plant. Give it some more time.

Good Job.

 

[tom-tom]

[Dubbaman]

not looking bad at all man :aok: and as for that leaf that is starting to twist i have seen that and its normally some kind of a nute overload if i remember what i had read on that. ill find the post on it again i think it was in the sick plants and problems part of the forum, once i find it again ill drop you a link here

edit:found that [thread=16461]thread[/thread] it has some info for you it says in there it may be from heat stress and a small chance at Mg(magnesium) deficiency. step 3

 

[tom-tom]

dubbaman this happended before i gave it any nutes i just started nutes last night so i dont think it would be a nute overload ,,cause as i said no nutes at the time this happend

yeah i was thinking of something else till i had started to reread the post and that thread on the overheating so it may be form the lights getting to close or to hot on the tops of the plant sorry if i frightened you for a sec i had read that you just started the nutes and i wasnt real sure if i was remembering that trouble shooter post right

 

[tom-tom]

its cool thanks for stopin in dubbaman the plant is lookin good tho hu id like to get it to get more bushy what does everyone think how do i do this i want it to get very bushy is their a way i can make this happen without having to lst i dont mind having to bend it some if this will help but i do not want to take any chances of breaking the stem so what can i do? id like to get a copple ideas if possible

 

[NeonBlack]

You really don't have to worry about breaking stems. Just be gentle and it will be fine. Don't try and do a huge bend all at once, do it over 2-3 days. I completely broke the main stem on one of my plants by accident. It was laying at a 90 degree angle to the trunk it broke from and I could see up and down into the hollow stem and it was connected only by a small bit of tissue at the break. I didn't even know that I did it, I just happened to notice it 8 hours or so after it happened. I lost only one fan leaf from the ordeal and the plant is perfectly healthy apart from a little sunburn to some of the top buds due to being too close to the light. The break has now completely healed over and looks like a gnarled knot in the trunk. I say just go with the lst full force, the plants can take a whole lot of bending without flinching and in the end it will be for their own good. (Edit: Typo due to clumsy fingers)

As im sure tom tom knows genetics will play a vital role in the bushiness as well, but without LST'in or using some tie downs the only way i can think of besides "breaking appendages of the plant over and over" but side foliage lighting does wonders for bushiness, i used side lighting on my 1st grow , two 80watt fixtures on both sides of my plants, running vertically, works well for making em bushier.

In fact i may have a few pics from my very first grow (bag seed), lets see here *diggs through folders*

ah here we are, now no laughing .. this was my very 1st grow.. quite ghetto.. only did 2 plants, both ended up male i think.

now this is an old grow, not trying to hijack this or nothing, but they were pretty bushy for their age under the circumstances anyway.

1st pic are germed seeds, kinda blurry

2nd pic is twelve days from sprout in veg

3rd pic is day 24 in veg

4th is day 10 of flowering

i got some more but thats all thats needed i think.

and yea i can prove their mine.. look at my grow journal, same keyboard, same mouse pad in some of the pics hahah (ive had this keyboard for like 5yrs now..)

now it worked good accept that my plants look like they got a serious case of scoliosis hahaha!!

anyway im sure youll figure it out tom tom : >

 

[That crazy vancouver guy]

hey tom... about your gnarled leafs... don't worry about that... happens to my plants too... just the way it grows out.:spit:
