June 12, day 84, not many leaves left to remove from the upper canopy. The Euforia's buds continue to slightly increase in size, but at this point it is mainly ripening. With the greater light penetration some middle/lower buds are also putting on weight. The PPFD is roughly 700 for the canopy so the light close to it's healthy maximum. I noticed two fungus gnats in the tent which is not a big issue this late in the grow. Just to be careful I ran a fertigation cycle with h202 instead of enzymes to kill any larva in the coco.
June 14, day 86, uploaded a video of the trichomes to record their development across various buds.
June 17, day 89, I removed some more leaves allow more ripening of lower buds. The trichomes are getting about 5-10 percent amber, and the buds are looking pretty ripe overall. I am going to draw down the nutrient EC over the next week, and then prepare the plant for harvest. I am currently guessing the harvest will be around day 100.
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.
