I have been removing certain fan leaves the whole way through this grow, so that the light will actually get to the bottom two nodes I have left on - I’m thinking I should have chopped those ones and kept the ones I cut but I know that for the next time.
I do remember the way the plant grows though, really long leaf stems and branches - you can definitely see the saliva way more in this breed than the smoothie, simply by morphology alone.
I WOULD have topped it again also - although having said that we don’t know if there will be a huge main cola yet - it’s certainly showing some pistols and those bunches of smaller thinner leaves you get when it just starts flowering.
I also raised the height a little because the plant had grown and I wanted to keep them 30cm (ish) from the plant and it has grown. I am tempted to really fill it out next time and do a ‘solo’ cup grow as well to make use of the spare (although a REALLY small amount!)
Over here they are just party cups (but the same thing and size - you can also get them in clear, which is more common or SOMETIMES opaque ones but tbh it wouldn’t take much to wrap so,e Gorilla tape around the outer one. (I love that stuff, none of their products have ever failed me!)
Anyway, enjoy the pics - next time I will most likely do one of the Mephisto seeds as I have with these last two grows as iv been itching to grow Mephisto for a LONG time but back before I took my break it was really hard to get seeds from them - they would just sell out immediately! I may have to do another run of the apricot fast buds depending on time, heat, humidity etc as I don’t want to be drying my bud at like 24degrees c again - that sucked, especially having grown it before and dried it in winter where the ambient temps are perfect for drying!
I am thinking of adding a few more grow dots - maybe 3G because the colour of the leaves is a little light for my liking….ahhhh shit I just realised they are timed release and so would be releasing N when i need them to release P+K.
I think I will actually add a small amount of hydrobloom (my normal hydro nute), just to darken them leaves as we head into flowering - for stretch.
