manifolding experiment

BudoftheBeat I'm starting my third grow and finally trying out my favorite strain gorilla glue#4. The one in the center is Northern lights big bud auto which will be moved outside in a few weeks. The focus of this diary will be the GG4.

BudoftheBeat The GGs started stretching and falling over so i had to prop them up for a few days until they could stand strongly on their own.

BudoftheBeat i recently transferred these girls into 5 gal smart pots. I should be doing the first cut for the manifold in a few days.

BudoftheBeat my conventional manifold is going strong. my VR8 manifold wasn't getting light where it needed to, so it's been slower, BUT it should take one less cut than the conventional one, so i think they should finish out in about the same amount of time.

BudoftheBeat I started using more nutrients from the nectar for the God's line. the site isn't letting me post any more though... they seem happy. looks like a little mold is starting to develope on the bottom of the smart pots. I'll figure out what to do about that.

BudoftheBeat I did the second step of my conventional manifold. she seems to be bouncing back nicely. I just ordered some tomato cages to use for training.

BudoftheBeat I cut one plant for the last time, as she has started to alternate nodes. 8 tops for her. I've tied down my bigger outer branches so the smaller indeed ones can get some more light and hopefully equal out.
