New Grower First ever grow with what I have on hand

[Time]

Looking good man. Doing very well on your first grow. Save your money on the blurples check out the autocobs in the lighting forum. Cobshop.net they get the job done. Also I would ponytail that girl for a couple hrs and see how she does if she is doing good leave it for a couple more hrs. Then take it off. Do that for two to four days and those lowers will take off. Then u can start to leaf tuck. Non of this will even slow your girl down. Will help increase the yield. And it gives u something to do. Just be gentle pipe cleaners work just don’t ponytail too tight. I leave it so a little light still gets in the center. I’ve had my eye on this strain so I wanna see how she does for u.

Thanks.

I had to look up ponytailing, lol. I've been resisting the urge to lst on my first grow and she is too squat to start anyway but the ponytail looks perfect for her. I don't have pipe cleaners at hand but I think I have some tiny zip ties that will do no harm.

I would use some string or Velcro. Arts and crafts stuff works wonders for lst. I let my girls go natural I really don’t consider ponytailing or leaftucking lst. Most plants don’t even notice other then the lowers growing quick once they get going they get out from under the fans at the top and can start collecting and stretching on their own. They just need a little help sometimes otherwise those lower limbs won’t produce nearly as much. They’re at the point they may need some more photons lol. Seriously take my losses (money spent on blurples) and learn from them. Autocobs, folux solutions also vividgro all serious grow lights backed by great customer service. U will have these for years and not need to upgrade u will be at the top of the lights food chain

Thanks for the advice, I'll take it and find a decent light. No point in buying something I'll have to replace soon.

Thanks archie gemmill. I'm halfway through reading your trophy cabinet thread. Pages 1-78. I have a ways to go to get caught up.

we dont dont have badges for folk silly enough to go through the cupboard start to finish a medal would be more apt a dash of rep will have to do :smoking:
your better half dont partake but may have a puff or a nibble if offered if its a one in the evening thing you unlikey to go through more than 7g a week,a 2oz plant every 10 weeks is more than doable,and no need to go buying stuff you dont need.....but i highly recommend a ph pen,if something goes wrong its the first thing to reach for can save a lot of and if ya dont like it ya havnt spent much should take a look into edibles and tinctures
i am a recreational stoner.turned to growing my own,it in itself became a hobby get to the end of the grow,sit down with a (its not coffee *ouch its tea) and :smoking: and think it over,do you need any new equipement/supplies or just go again ?
good luck n keep er lit.

Thanks a bunch archie!

We were passing through a legal state a couple months ago and bought a good supply of edibles, tinctures and cannapills for her to try. I get to eat the stuff she doesn't like. She likes the cannapills so I've looked into making them and other tinctures.

Being a country bumpkin, I have a soil ph meter. I just needed to find it. But I'll need a ph pen for water if I ever have to adjust.

My life is a hobby. I haven't worked in years. So adding a grow hobby is a welcome and worthwhile project whether we go through 7grams a week or 7 ounces. But I think we'll start with 7 grams.
