here's 2 of my front runners.im leaving the first one all natural. the other is semi-lollipopped. i figured id flower them side by side and see who yields more. ill probably "top" one as well. any thoughts?these babys are 4-5 days from their new home in the flowering room:)

I'm gonna put my money on the first one.
Are they genetically identical? I can't really tell if the only difference is pruning or if they're actually different sub-strains.

First grow?! Looks really good man, very nice work. If I were you I'd train them all just a tiny bit more horizontally and then flip the lights to 12/12 real soon!

Yes he's talking about tying the stalks down. Other than that just flower them normally for your first time around. See how each plant performs. And go from there.
And I like the one on the left as well. Have you been pruning fan leaves off of the one on the right.

i did. thats the only one ive pruned though.because of the miraclegro mistake, this crop is semi expendable. no better way to learn than by doing. plus, later tonight im gonna clone everyone. in a few weeks ill transplant into fox farms and start from scratch. i know i can correct a couple probs. in the meantime im going to flower as many plants as possible under my 1000w. and just see what happens...by the time the drama of my first crop is starting to piss me off ill have amazing new clones ready to fight the good fight

took 4 clones of each strain from the best plants and got them into their little home.
the entire population took a dive in appearance but theyre perking up already. i think my environment control is so ghetto and delicate that when i go in and out of the tent alot in a single day they start to look shitty.
ps...are these pistils? ill look it up but im sure someone can tell just by looking. maybe?

Yeah I see some pistils there. I really doubt that going in and out of your tent a lot is going to have that great of an impact on your plants. But you really shouldn't have to check on them more than once a day anyways man.

normally i just check 1-2 times a day but yesterday i put ladybugs in there and then made clones so it was alot of in and out for them. maybe not...i just hope my clones take. if they do everything is gonna be WAY smoother my 2nd time around. thanks everyone
