hello again
we're high we high gun up down with dope yes the top five tips for veg veg tips
tips for your vegetables in your vegetable garden
we know you guys love vegetables we love vegetables too so let's get to the top five
tips for veg one is how often we water and how to tell if you're overwatering your underwatering
yeah in veg stage it's kind of critical because you can really stunt your autos and it has a
really big impact on their growth so you don't want to definitely over water um and that's
something you see a lot of people do it's really easy to kind of do and over water in auto so my
the way that i've been taught i can tell that i'm the way that i tell that i'm over watering
my plants i will take a peek at the leaves and if they look a little bumpy we like to
call them the speed bumps um that's yeah that's when you can tell in veg stage where they're
starting to get a little too over water or you're watering too much so then you can just dial it
back from then and then also very similarly um when you're under watering yeah they'll start
to just get droopy and you won't see as much of the ridges um because it'll just be the leaves
will be droopy the stems will be weak um typically over watering like having said the speed bumps or
the ridges you can see the cells and parts of the leaf are like gorgeous water so they'll get puffy
and you get kind of a speed bump leaf but they'll be sad too and the stems will be stiff so watering
is definitely something you want to watch for um in in the autos in the veg stage because you
definitely don't want to over water because it can impact yeah so generally every other day um
you know you really don't have to be micromanaging and watering every day especially if you're
in soil just because it holds moisture really well but if you're doing things like cocoa and
you know it varies so just you know keep an eye on it yes definitely watering does vary
per plant definitely um plant-specific i would say so um just know the signs that you're watering or
too much or too little yeah and something else number two guys what we do is we always in our
autos cut the bottom nodes bottom two nodes and we do that early on in the veg stage basically before
we do any real training or anything else right we cut the bottom two nodes uh early on in their life
just to help focus more energy towards growing the top of the plant um it's been a great one
and we've always just kind of done it pretty much since i started doing the very bottom ones because
i noticed that they weren't getting as big as the ones above them anyway um and i thought hey that's
probably wasting a lot of energy so um i started doing the very bottom ones and then i started
noticing that if i did the ones right above those as well um it seemed to flourish the ones
up top a lot more makes up makes them just reach more makes the whole plant seem any better because
those bottom ones usually by the time the whole plant's grown out if you just kind of let it go
they usually just are not very good production or they never really reach around all the way so we
just kind of got to have round date 20 to 25 maybe cut the bottom two and then you leave it going and
doing the two above that so you cut the bottom two sets as soon as they got uh another note on top of
that it's when i i really try i try to get them out of there as soon as i possibly can really um
and that just kind of lets the plant a it doesn't it doesn't stress the plant out as much if you
do it in a younger state yeah and you give it and you wait a little bit in between each time
yeah probably not a good idea to take both sets of nodes at the same day maybe give it a few days i
don't know i do it at the same time do you i mean something to experiment with though i like to do
it at the same day because if it needs to recover it can do it all at once instead of trying to do
it twice yeah but we've been experimenting with it but we have always been taking the bottom two
nodes and it just seems to make the rest of the plant grow better and then it just never seemed
to be anything really anyway so we usually do that first and then look into like training once
it starts to get a little further along through the badge yeah uh but the other number three big
one especially if you're doing soil mixes dry amendments or organics and things like that is
feeding um and start to look for signs yeah it looks for signs of your accessory deficiency
because if you're coming from doing soil with organics or dry amendments you're gonna notice
like it's gonna start to use up the nutrients in your pot your three gallon or your five gallon
um and as it heads into late veg you might start to see signs of lower leaves yellowing so it's
a good idea to think about and start to look for or preemptively plan uh top dressing feedings for
going into flour and your late veg so i feel like that kind of falls under the umbrella of being
able to read your plant knowing what that access is and knowing what that deficiency is and really
knowing what you're already giving your plant to give it an access or a deficiency and then dialing
it down or giving it more depending on what that may be um but at veg i really don't even need to
feed personally that much i just give it the cow mag and molasses every other water and that seems
to be sufficient for me in my soil mix yup and then usually around late late veg into starting
of bloom is when it's time for some news that's when i start to see signs yeah so this is another
one just the feeding and overall plant just kind of learn to read your plants all part of it yeah
that's it yeah and then well and then also kind of what also falls under the umbrella of reading your
plan is your light and also how to tell when your light is too much or too little for your plan yeah
that's a that's a really good one like the light because you'll definitely be able to see benefits
um from adjusting your light height and brightness throughout the veg stage as they can handle more
um it's okay to start to dial your light intensity up like in veg any veg stays you really don't need
to go to a hundred percent it's going to be too intense and they don't have huge dock and flowers
on there yet so you really don't need a hundred percent in veg um i mean you definitely can if
you have a height that's you know high enough to do that but really it's just gonna save you on
power less heat in your tent running them at a different dimmer brightness having them at the
proper heightness to get the effect of you know par output on the canopy um so you can definitely
play it smart save some money on your bill rather than just running him 100 you can tell if you
can see your plant reaching too hard or um if it starts to fall over a little bit because it's it's
trying to get to that light the light adjustment definitely comes into play yeah some great tips
for uh things to watch for if your light is too much in veg is especially your top leafs or the
young leaves that are closest to the light um if you see them starting to flip over we'll call
them they're flipping uh if the top leaves are starting to flip upside down it usually means
that the light is too intense for for the planet or also you'll see almost them pulled in tackling
it's like they're green and healthy but they start to get dry and kind of like want to taco curl in
that's usually just an indicator your light is too intense too intense um dial it down some so that's
a really good tip for light adjustment through veg just watch what your plants your leaves closest to
the lights are telling you if they're reacting if they're flipping over or they're tackling in
you probably have it up too high for them and you should adjust your light raise it damn it you know
and then the last biggest thing for veg and what to look for is uh staying on top of just checking
their gender especially if you're getting seeds you know we've had seeds that are advertised as
feminized that ended up being males um and you know plants that just come out and ended up being
a hermie with auto so it's always important in that veg stage and like right at the beginning
when they start to show sex or you know just watching them early on because we've seen like
pollen sacks pop before we see pistols oh yeah way before so it's just important to always be
checking your plants not only for just like signs of it sex is it males or female but you know bugs
things like that anything to crop up really just keeping an eye on your plants and just knowing
what's going on do you have any trying to figure out what what's a flower and what's the balls
what do they one's dangling one's a little little tree but definitely looking for signs
in mid to late veg as far as your gender goes so you're in we have found that if it does show
signs of being male over female it does show a lot sooner than being yeah you'll typically see
right where like the leaf connects and you have your branch going like right at that connection
you'll typically start to see little single pollen sacs and it'll look like a little like a little
little arm come out and then like literally like a ball at the end of it yeah and we've seen people
dm us on instagram this is the mail yes it is yes it doesn't look like one of the little things with
the hair sticking out of it or two hairs you know i mean unless you want it to be male though yeah
you want to do some your own breathing project
