Question Starting Outdoor Plants Indoors

[gkornacki]

I don't put my plants in the ground until June and these have been growing since Oct - Nov depending on which one. I currently wheel them out daily and inside at night to make 18 hours on. Spa day, as I like to call it, today because of cold rain. I collect the rain for watering.

Some look like they are struggling to revert back to veg (yellowing leaves, no huge veg growth) after sexing and I am thinking about trimming them all down to stalk except some nice healthy leaves. I have been trimming them all along and I think that's why they look like shrubs.

What is the general consensus about this type of trimming? I have done it without any problems but can they become too shrub like? They are getting pretty thick. .

So, you're trying to reveg them, right?
They're going to have to if you want them in the ground in June.

I'd clear out more if the middle of them to increase airflow. You might also consider clearing out some of the buds the more flowering sites she has while trying to reveg the more hormones she'll have to produce to revert all those sites. I normally only use 1 bud site for reveg but I'm also normally trying to get it to root. So do as you feel best I'm here to watch and learn.

Thanks. Yes reveging, I normally let them mature and keep clones until fall, but had my hands full this winter and never made clones. With indoor/out I can have two growing seasons utilizing sunlight as much as possible for each.

Thinning seems like good advice. I'm planning on removing all the flowers and will trim the middles where they are thickest. Maybe the lack of airflow is what caused the white mold I saw and had to treat. I'll start thinning today.

While trimming I found a lot of WPM on the stalks and inner leaves. Bingo on the airflow. I hit again with soap/water and pretty sure this was a good move.

You have a fresh duct air supplying the tent or room whichever you grow in ?
