Got my main branches laid out and bound. Slight separation at the knuckle on one limb, but it's scabbing over nicely and growth has not been hindered. Branches are really low to the dirt so lil concerned about future air circulation but i think some defoliation should be fine. new branching showing since lst. did some topping to let lower stuff catch up. Clones show no rooting. Cut some new ones, and they are looking much better than the last batch. cut clones at a 45, and didn't bake the shit out of them this time. I think they'll take root in a week or so. When clones are healthy I'll feel okay with flipping her to 12/12 when I know my genetics are preserved. Wait till you see the beehive of roots next week on the transplant pics.
they will evoporate fast. the quality will definitely suffer. a real bummer indeed. maybe google fridge drying for cannabis if it speaks to you it may help you in this situation. just an idea.
On the plus side, that is them finished stretching. Took me a while to get used to the stretch, but not all is lost and everything is a lesson. This will be epic, now following to keep up with your grow bro. Keep the faith! 💩✊💚💚💚
@Jobbie, It's been exciting to see the flip because ive been nursing a green plant for 2 months. I expected pretty much what's happening because of my research (watching lots of mr. Canucks & others on yt) but I do find myself just sitting and admiring my work here and there. And there's the excitement to seeing what kind of phenotype I have. It's like opening a kinder egg. It's a really cool plant because week to week it's so different than the last. Not looking forward to trimming, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Calling me bro is fine.
@pund3r, also apologies, I have no idea what gender you are and called you bro. I'm super excited for you, my first grow was a complete mess because I did not research and just listened to others. Has it been exciting? Better or worse than expected? I was surprised by the stops and starts where for a few weeks there is nothing to do, then there's hours of work in a few days.
@Jobbie, hey, thanks bud! This whole grow has been a learning experience, and thankfully I did a ton of research to not be a complete noob.
I planned to flip these nearly 2 wks sooner, but my clones kept dying off. If i had, I think I would have had a little more mercy from the stretch. rapid rooters took my clone success from 0% to 100%. next run ill have the knowledge of not only how much they stretch, but exactly how long they need to be flowered. If this is the worst of my failures in a first grow I'd call that a success. There's still time to mess it up though lol. I'll do my best! Thanks for the support!
@love_2_grow, Thanks! It's my first real go at it, so I'm trying to learn what not to do. Pretty sure I topped a little prematurely, and hit her early with nutes in amended soil and got a little burn. Hoping my mistakes are small ones in the future.
@DadGrowsTomatoes, you're telling me dude. I just had to supercrop the main branches 1 month in because they were touching the light. leggy ladies. Thanks for the kind words.
