May 8 day 49, the Euforia is now taking up about 5sqft of space, and is still stretching.
The many tops are starting to flower, although it is still too early to see how bulked up they will become. I am removing 10-20 leaves a day for airflow but it doesn't make it look any less like a wall of foliage. But I can always take more off if needed, whereas if I strip the plant that could permanently effect the plant's ability to store and produce energy during later flowering. According to Dutch Passion there is a slower finishing Auto Euforia pheno that ends up the largest and heaviest yielding but can take around 95 days. Based on the slow shift to flower and a large size, I am starting to predict that this Euforia may be one of these.
May 10 day 51, the buds continue to take shape. Doing what I can to keep the canopy from getting too thick, so a little leaf removal was necessary.
May 12, day 53, just supporting the plant and letting it grow.
May 14, day 55, buds are starting to produce trichomes, which are also spreading onto sugar leaves. The buds are still early in development so this is a good sign for what's to come! I am happy that a lot of lower growth is still developing decently despite how thick the plant is. I removed about a dozen leaves for airflow and bud exposure.
That is so huge for one plant! My Candy Kush is at day 16 and I started LST, I really want to train it a lot. I LST all my autos and it makes a big difference.Last year I trained my critical purple pretty well and after seeing yours, I want to get mine the same. Every year I learn more so I'm being diligent as can be. I use pipe cleaners from the Walmart craft section, they're nice and fuzzy and canโt cut into the stems. I'm excited watching your progress, that's as good as it gets, big time!
@nhcowboy, yeah, it's gotten really big! When I switched to growing coco I started overgrowing my little tent, although I'm still a fan of soil growing as well. I think LST can really help with yields and overall plant size, but I am happy I'm just growing this one plant at the moment. With how dense it is it has taken lots of care and careful lead removal. Keep having a good time with the LST and happy growing! ๐ฑ๐
structure of the plant looks to compressed and bushy ? do you think the middle and bottom flowers will reach any light or airflow?
do you think yield will be affected by this?
im just asking , congratulations btw for the grow
@@@serinboy, thanks, it really bushed up especially after the FIM. The bottom flowers will definitely stay underdeveloped and will only be good for edibles. I could have stripped more of the plant earlier but at this point the bottom nugs are still forming trichomes. The middle buds may not gain as much density as the tops but will be fine, and can always be pressed into rosin. But keep in mind in terms of yield there will be 60+ tops each with about 4-8 inches of ideal development. In terms of yield that should be higher then a plant grown without the FIM/LST.
