Like all others long waiting for the root system to take start. This strain started to develope very rapidly and I’m excited this one didn’t get washed out by a flood.
Slow week still waiting on leaves to start there nodes to train and I’m probably going to top this one and root the top and see if I can make one plant turn into two good ones.
I topped this girl and cloned the top to take root and she done very well. Now I have a topped rooted that I am low stress training and a topped bottom that I am vegging out to top a second time. It might take 25-30 weeks of veg because of the stress it’s putting. but the payoff will be rewarding because these buds have beautiful colors and I want as many main colas as possible.
This week was a lot of cleaning up and topping. I got all my branches sided out and ready to veg a few more weeks for length. I’m gonna let them thicken up a little bit more then I think imma flip em and make some monster colas by theory anyways I hope so.
I got all the lower branches and nodes cleaned up off the stem and I’m trying to grow them out then up. I have two main colas on the shogun side by side and 10 branches across each other all the way up to the tops. I’m going to water her in the morning and transfer her in her final transplant pot before I start her bloom amendments. I think I’m going to put her in a ten gallon pot and leave her original top in a two gallon. I was going to wait a few more weeks to flip to 12 hrs because I also have autos growing but I don’t think it’s gonna matter or make a difference and she looks promising so far so I’m gonna push her roots as far as I can reach them. My only challenge now is space but having the sf4000 shouldn’t make it an issue. Just a lot more defoliation than usual.
This week‘s been really good for a flip it’s only been half a week and the tips are already starting to bloom out and pistols are forming nicely. I thought they were kind of going to grow like an auto flower because of the way I’ve bent the branches but the nodes are growing and reaching up nice and evenly or a Scroge net might be needed. But if I decide not to use the net I might just put steaks and tie the branches down.It has a surprisingly large amount of vegetation that grows very quickly on this plant
This is a good week. Pre flower has kicked off very nice and the bud sites are all over the place with both ladies. Well one ladie amputated and rerooted like a clone. The bottoms and top are both the same length and will do good things. If I’m lucky they’ll finish the same time as my auto runs.
This week has been really busy I haven’t really had time to do maintenance on the plants so I’ve had a lot of defoliation to do especially on the super skunk plants but I gotta start that diary for I will slowly get it caught up
I only did a minor defoliation probably gonna be my last flower so far the colas started very nicely And have started to swell and reach farther with pistil’s. And we were there a beautiful dark forest shiny green red line on there stems. I have about four weeks ago maybe more pending on it’s Growth rate
I was pretty good this week I’ve been so busy trying to maintain all of my plants I can understand why people choose to not mix auto flowers with photo. It is a lot of work making sure your photo periods grow accordingly to an auto flower schedule thankfully my last week is harvest
This plant does very good with training techniques me only problem I had out of this plant as I grew it was the amount of time it took to come out of stress or transplant or topping. At first I almost thought they were goners but they decided to bounce back in and give me good results for one plant cut in half and rerouted and 3 gallon pots did pretty well gave me right under a pound for wet weight. Sure did surprise me . I was thinking a couple ounces and man is a smell delicious not really berry fruity but piney and dandy.
This plant took forever to start its flowering and throwing pistols. But once it started it’s pre-flower, the birds filled out and swelled within three weeks and finished with tons of resin I think I like this plan it’s been one of my favorites
@Cyrusdavirus, It was alot more than I thought it was gonna be. They didnt look big but man they are loaded with resin . I was thinking six oz at most but I got double so I’m happy. After dry trim I might end up with half pound if I do it right.
@Ganja4Show, it’s turned out to be one of my favorites. You can see the exotic genetics in its leaf structure. When the light hits the fan leaves just right, it has a jungle green color with red stems that looks metallic almost
@Weeder_Griffin, Ironically I was going to scrap it out where I snapped the stem, but then I decided to keep her and see where she goes in the top it’s actually rooted so now I have two growing which worked out perfect so sometimes mistakes end up turning out to be a good thing
@CrazyHorse, I’m farther along with this ladie, I’ve just been too busy to post her pictures and updates cause of my gmp I harvested. I’ve got the shogun and two other strains I am behind on . Lol. I will say she tops very easy and grows beautiful fan leaves. However completely up-to-date by tomorrow sometime
@Cyrusdavirus, yeah I learned that if I wait it out untill they get there next set of branches ready to come out I flip and the branches just grow into small nuggs instead of popcorns. I like a low canopy so I let ‘em go about half of the size u go. But when I use a Scrogg net I’ll end them everywhere I see a square open lol.
@Itsgnomegrown, I will do my manifold and allow the branches to get about 1 foot tall from the soil if it's a sativa and about 18" if it's more indica dominant. Sometimes they'll trick me and pheno the wrong way and I'll get plants like the banana strawberry cheese I'm growing now I switched it to flower and it didn't stretch at all so it's real short. I fixed it kinda by leaving all the side branches on it so they are a foot tall with 50 +- budsites... plants are going to grow the way they want we have to adapt to them
@Itsgnomegrown, I love it.... I try different ways of doing things all the time to see what will happen, some turn out great others not so much 😆
Grow on my friend
@Cyrusdavirus, that’s why I bend down 90 without topping. I have one ready I’m gonna show u pics of . Takes months to catch em up but it looks neat and turns out to be a tree instead of a plant lol. I’ll send you them later
@Itsgnomegrown, how I decide what to keep or cut is I'll let it grow out and anything that doesn't reach the canopy goes bye bye. Anything to tall get bent down to slow it's growth.
except with my autoflower plants I let the tall ones go because I don't want to slow it down. Of course there's some that get crazy tall and I have to bend it
@Cyrusdavirus, it did didn’t it. I thought only the tips were going to start flowering up bud sites an d the middle nodes reached up right beside them so I don’t know if I’m gonna cut em off and leave just the tops or let it all bud out lol
@Cyrusdavirus, the super skunks are all in preflower now but only one grew the way it was suppose to. The other four are real lengthy with small but sites all over. I’m thinking bout lollipopping the bottoms and tying stakes to them.
It's really tough to get the timing right when growing them together I don't even try it anymore everyone lives in their own tents....
Looking good 👍 happy growing
@Cyrusdavirus, yeah they gre fine but I had to sacrifice 4 hours of light. man my super skunks blew up, they stayed small and petite till week 4 of flower and now they are full of buds all the way up on every branch lol. I’m gonna try sometime in the middle of next week to get all of them diary entry start it and post it so you can check them out they look nice I’m hoping they get thick like yours did on the tips
