Busy week in the dojo, but not without mishaps.
First half of the week showed nice progress but caused a bit of damage when levelling out the canopy midweek. 🤕
When tying down her north and south main branches I heard a small crack 😳
inspection of the wounds didn't look too bad, so i thought...
When I cane back to check on her the next day, she had cut herself into the ties whilst reaching up to the light. 😒
Removed the ties and patched her up with a couple of plasters, and she seems to still be ok... for now...🤞
Also spent a bit of time putting together the guide rail for the grow.
A 24”x24” square rail with 8 evenly spaced drilled holes on each side (6 per by side + 2 corners). The idea behind the rail is to guide her 4 main branches and 6 selected sub-branches into specific directions NESW, N1, N2... E1, E2... S1... and so on... From these 6 sub, I will go on to select a number of secondary branches to evenly fill out the canopy.
Now I'm not saying I’m gonna manage it... 🤫
But all this guiding and selecting should give me 64 tops across an even canopy.
Soo... Rail has been built and placed upon some floating floor legs I happened to have at hand and, N, E, E1, S, W and W1 are all attached to the rail.
Lets see how this turns out. 🙃
If I was you brotha I’d get some of the garden soft tie wire.
It’s covered with soft rubber to prevent such mishaps.
In my grow....I snapped a branch on my Bruce banner and attempted to splint it but it still suffered a bit. Then that branch developed almost a supercrop knuckle and that became one of my most productive branches.
Then.....while moving my plants around I snapped the MAIN COLA on my Bruce banner.
That girl has been through hell!! But both of the snapped branches developed rapidly after I mended them!
They look good!
Are yours autos?
Check out my GSC on my page if you get a chance!
@Rollme1kenobi,
No they are not autos.
Thanks for the tip.
Think I will do that in the future buddy. 🙃
What a nightmare!! Fingers crossed my N & S branch development picks up soon. They don't look bad... Just don't seem to be doing as well as E & W.
Looks good.
My Girl Scout is three weeks old today and I was afraid I stunted it’s growth with my light setup too.
Take a look leave a like and comment if you’d like!
@Rollme1kenobi, Yep... Fingers crossed, I’ll continue to see improvements moving forward. 🙃
Happy to take my time and veg her out as long as I need to though. Just itching to get training. 😜
