New Grower Virgin growner fist attempt

[botlowsky]

Thanks Guys!
I have the parts of my nem box, for my 2nd grow. It will be 80X80X160 made by OSB panels with my hands.
Maybe I need to hurry, to build the new box. The 2nd grow will run in a small house in my site. But the temp is too low now, around 15-18 C. Maybe I build it ASAP , and put a heater inside the room where they will be.

Dont really understand what happened with my plants.... I neves see a GOM grow to high as mines. Carmen around 100cm...
Maybe I try LST, but this box is too small, and the wide is short too.
I choose direct this strain, because I think its a short strain Ohh yeee...

I am just grinning, botlowsky, because I bet a lot of us wish we have your problem - Carmen won't stop growing! They both look so happy and healthy, and it makes me giggle a bit that you chose them for being a short strain... hee hee hee! Oh well, maybe she had a tall great-grandmother in her background!

:booya:

UPDATE!!!

I upgrade to the 250W HPS set. Yesterday night I must change the box, because the girls are overgrow it. Almost touch the HPS bulb.
I say: " Ok! Its not a problem! I do it around 1-2 hours." Dammm..... I worked 6-7 hours, and just finish in today dawn... (really tired, sleep only 4 hours today).
Finish is a bit excessive, I have many thing what I need to do, but its operate.

When I buy the new HPS set in my favourite grownshop, I told my size problem to the seller. He say maybe I need to stop 18/6 and try to switch 12/12 or 14/8, they will flowering, and this maybe stop or slow down the growing. You know, I'm a zero experienced growner. I hope this switch dont hurt them, but I think I try. If they grown out this box too, it will makes me mad
Here is some brand new pics:

I hope you enjoy it!
I welcome any advice&suggestion.
(and maybe need a cooltube....)

I don't think less light will help, Bots. Flowering can easily double the size of the plant sometimes. They grow a lot during the dark period, no light, stretching and growing for it..

I still think your best bet is to just let em roll and bend em over if you can carefully.

Svetlanas 2-3 lower leaf start yellowing. One leaf is yellow , and one of the leave is drying and turned down.... In the top I see a barely perceptible yellowing.

Carmen is still growing. Shes around 125 cm right now. I make some LST.
Maybe I'm a bit paranoid, but I cant see big changes in the last week. Maybe I see them to offen, and thats the reason, but I doubt the plants are finishing in the next 3 weeks. Or maybe I doing something wrong.
I give them 18/6.
Watering 2 times a day, 1 plant get 0.5 L water/day. I give them nutries with every watering. (40ml/L)
In the new box, the temp is around 28C, outside 21C. I hope everything will be fine.

Hey Bots. Why are you watering two times a day, are they really drinking that much?

 

[botlowsky]

As I see, the top of the dirt is dry after 10-12 hour, and dont flow water in the bottom of the pot. You think is to mutch?

 

[The Squid]

Are you going by weight? I wouldn't go by the top two inches, I think you may be over-watering, friend.

And I don't understand the last part, doesn't flow in the bottom of the pot?

 

[botlowsky]

I mean the water isnt running out from the pots in the holes in the bottom of the pot.
The understand is mutual
How do you mean : "Are you going by weight? I wouldn't go by the top two inches"
Sorry about my english, you know...
