First real grow (after 35 years of smoking)

[Rorschach]

Nice babies you have! They're quite the size of my Cheeses

Usually when giving feed doses out most peeps in UK use "mls per litre" and not "mls per 5ltre" which i think is what your doing, but i maybe wrong again. No sweat though just crossed wires.

yes i buy the 5l water from Tes*o - ashbeck 6.2ph, then i add the nutes into that, so ie - 5ml A & B = 1ml per liter =5liters.
So i didnt think i was feeding to high, lowered all the doses recommended by the manufacterer.

I just find it more convienient to just add feed to 5l then split it.
Im going to be switching to flower in 7-10 days, as already its gonna be a tight fit in my little room, but
ive been reasearching - defoliating. And Bubblegum x Fat Hog has sun leaves bigger than my hand and wrist so they will have
to go..
Any advice on trimming back my 3 ladies would be appreciated, please check my photos.

Looks like the first "real" grow is coming along very well buddy! Hope you are enjoying the forum and i look forward to seeing these girls in a few months busting out the room with buds

Also i see where you mention defoliating, and that's fine and dandy but imo the fan leaves are there for a reason and if you top/FIM again before flower they shoots will no doubt bust through the canopy and get plenty of light. You can absolutely defoliate but don't go tooooooo crazy removing healthy leaves just yet.

I haven't fim/topped them.
Its just 'Bubblegum x Fat hog has some gigantic leaves

[mrming]

So thought id post some pics from 10pm tonight.

(Bubblegum x Fat Hog - in the orange pot as you can see from photos is massive with massive sun leaves,
virtually no light is getting to just below canpoy.
Ive tucked leaves here and there on GG & GHcheese, but not sure how to
proceed.
My grow room is a bay6 75cm x 75cm x 1.2m.
i have a 2nd Nailgirls 600w LED arriving tomorrow so that may help a little.

No feed today as fed 1l each last night.

Many thanks and hope everyones elses grows are going well.

yes i buy the 5l water from Tes*o -

Bloody hell Ming not a cheap do. Why not tap water ?

Any advice on trimming back my 3 ladies would be appreciated,

I remove a bit from down low just for ease of watering then 3 weeks into bloom i strip bottom 3rd of plant bare, i also remove some top bigger fan leaves and i do that again around 7 weeks into bloom. Theirs lots of different ways to do things, i mainly remove fan leaves from up top cus im in a space restricted area and plants are generally in a tight space so stems cant spread out properly and light doesn`t always reach where it should do like if plants had plenty of room to spread out. But i do alright in my small space

Well just been today to get some, and its now £1.60 for 5L,
it used to be 60p!!!
My tap water is 8+ ph and quite chlorine infested.
I might now though just use tap water and lower Ph with PH Down.

And it was just those huge leaves on BG Fat hog are blocking all the light from going anywhere,
I did alot of bending/twisting last night so ill take further pics in abit so we can see whats happening.

Thank you for the advice.
