May 22, day 63, the stretch is over and the Euforia is putting most of it's energy into bud development at this point. I am hoping that the crazy number of tops doesn't keep the final buds too small, but there is a steady increase in size so I am hopeful. I am starting to estimate a finishing date somewhere around day 90-100, but I will see how it goes!
There is honestly not much to do at this point. As the Euforia transitions into mid flower, I am just letting it do it's thing and will be slowly upping the blooming nutrients.
May 25, day 66, the buds continue to increase in size, although they still have quite a ways to go. I will probably begin dry koolbloom sometime over the next week or two to really boost P-K, although it is still a little early right now. Although I am still expecting the buds to frost up more before harvest, there are a lot of glandular trichomes building up even on the fan leaves which is a good sign. Some pistils are turning a nice orange and curling in as well, so the buds are definitely ripening. I expect a fair bit of loose buds from the low branches due to the density of the plant, but hopefully those will still be decent for edibles and rosin pressing.
May 27, day 68, the plant has minor tip burn, so I flushed the coco with under a gallon of water dosed with florakleen. If it worsens despite the flush I will lower the EC of the nutrient solution. Overall, the Euforia continues to put on bud weight and build more glandular trichomes.
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 can’t 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! 🌱👍
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.
