home for those beautiful plants. In the case of the strain in particular, does it taste like Orange Juice?

Bummer about the males PS but that's what happens when growing from seed. Everything is looking great and the ladies are looking happy. Keep it up mang and the ladies will pay ya in the end.

[PurpleSkunk]

so i noticed on 2 of my plants the roots on top of soil but they look to be turning hard like the stem,i know its not good for roots to see the lite would this harm anything?heres a pic.:holysheep:

its called PRE FLOWER when you plants show sex before you switch them over to 12/12 light cycle.....all my plants ive ever had have done this....you bottom branches on the plants are a waste the vegitation on those small little branches will produce such a small little bud that its a waste to even let it get that big.... plants look great...that HPS is a great investment

 

[PurpleSkunk]

i don't understand?

you bottom branches on the plants are a waste the vegitation on those small little branches will produce such a small little bud that its a waste to even let it get that big

i was asking about my root showing above soil,are u saying my plants are a waste and i wont get much?and i had the mh going before the hps.good investment yes a good lite if im gonna even try to grow.

and they look great

give me some more detail im a little confused.thanks ps

 

[mastersativa]

I am not sure what efect the root showing will have, but my lady also has a couple roots showing out the top and she is on day 16 of flower and looking FANTASTIC, so i don't think it will be to bad.

he said that when u have tall plants the very lower branches (4-5depends from the bulb,a 400w hps penetrate well to 20'' from the bulb) producing very little bud-so if you prune this lower branches all energy goes to uper bud sites and you'll have bigger and heavier uper buds,this pruning should be done before start flowering,as for your roots just cover them w/ some soil and you r ok. heres a chart 4 lights

just in my experience i don't think u need to cut of botton brances to make bigger top nugs,i just let them grow.more node morebranches more area to grow bud,ive have smaller micro grow were all the energy went to the cola but still didnt make much diffrence.im not saying your wrong just belive the more branches the more area for bud to grow,what does anyone else think?and if i want i will cut the top when its done and then let the bottom finish out.
