2 questions any help would be great

[ryan2293]

hi so basically coming up to the end of the second week for the plants from 2 nothern light autos, had 3 but lost one to lsting for the first time haha.

basically I have had my plants tied down for the past 48 and obviously the growth on the bud sights had been really good, I have gone in today after 48 and repositioned the other way so the sight on the opposite side are now receiving light, all I wanna know if i keep repositioning then 48 hours is this more good then bad or better for lsting??

my second question is I am using plant magic supreme organic soil and got them planted straight into 15l pots, basically just need to know when i should start adding my nutrients, gonna be using a combo of grow and bloom. just need to know when i should start to add them and isit ok to use grow nutes the entire grow and also I saw that about a week before harvest u should flush but I wanted to know if it's ok to flush for the last 2 week's?

any help would be great thanks

i wait for the new upper growth to pale slightly and the oldest leaves yellowing - thats my que to feed nutrients
no mate you can't just use grow nutes the entire grow, too much nitrogen in mid flower stops buds developing so we use bloom, it has reduced nitrogen

in organic soil using organic nutrients flushing isn't so much of a problem

Personally i would just keep them tied down one way and as the new shoots start appearing and the plant gets bigger,just try and get as much light to the new growth as you can by tucking the bigger leaves under the new tops.Everyone does it differently,you just get a ''feel'' for it.Its just about training your plant what you want it to do,making sure all the cola's get as much light as possible and trying to keep all the cola's at the same level as the main stem,(thats why the main stem is the one you want to try and keep as low as you can till the others catch up.) As for nutes, im on just over week 4 and havnt used anything,(and im still getting nute burn just from the soil.) I start giving bloom about a week after it has started flowering. Massive cliche on here but its true, ''less is more.''

Ditto. With PM youll still need grow throughout. Theres loads of peeps using it on here.

I know Gaz is using it so hopefully he'll drop in. Maybe shoot him a private message if not. Cheers

probably should have said that I got some organic bloom nutes too haha, can they both be used together??

[ryan2293]

yeah I got a schedule from the plant magic website and it stops using grow from week 4 onwards but I saw someone else say that use a little bit through the whole grow aswell as bloom

I've not heard of doing lst that way. Method I follow is to anchor the base and the bend the main stem over. Keep pinning it and the side branches as they lengthen to try and keep en even canopy.

[ryan2293]

yeah that what I'm doing in a way just changing every 48 hours so the light gets to sides evenly, or would i be better off tying down in 1 spot the entire time??

I would keep it in 1 spot, the shoots will always grow upwards towards the light,its just a case of trying to keep those shoots exposed to it and encouraging as much new growth as possible.

I'd keep the ties fixed. If you do it the way people have suggested You'll get a more even canopy. The branches will find their way to the light and more will appear as she grows.

Eventually your stems get stiff and snap if you continue swinging it that way I reckon
