LemonPie Eazy Pyramid mini

Freddd My first test in the eazyplug pyramid went so well that I have two more underway. This one is a Fast Buds Lemon Pie as I want to see what a known quality bean will do in one of these. For the first week I have not used any nutrient, just soaked the pyramid in plain tap water to begin, and I have added a cup of water twice more over the past week. I don't expect to be adding any nutrient until about week three. Growth is normal for one week. There are a bunch of root tips coming out the bottom and there are a couple of small root tips that have made it to the side. So there appears to be a very good rood structure forming early. Not sure at this stage if I am going to top this plant or not, or whether I will limit the amount of branches.

Freddd All going well, broad healthy leaves, however there seems to be some sort of deformity with the stem. I noticed it was a bit wobbly but I expected that to go away, I saw the seed case was jammed next to it but that doesn't appear to be the problem. The stem is peeling off it's usual coat, but it seems to be taking more than normal, and at the base it is flattened, I have put something to prop her up and I can only hope that she builds the bulk back up. Lots of roots coming out all sides so we'll have to wait and see. I did cut off the first pair tiny branches. Planning on topping this at the fourth node, so, there will be three pairs of branches, but that all depends on how she grows.

Freddd Did an early fingernail topping that was nice and accurate, early in the week and everything has been progressing well. Started giving her a bit of nutrient this week, she is looking like she might be about to flip to flower already. Maybe too early to be sure. I have manage to tuck away a couple of the large fan leaves to try and get the other six branches out.

Freddd After the topping I did some very severe leave tucking and the branches have now cleared the lower leave. Appears to be going into flowering mode and stretching slowing. Plant is very vigorous and very bushy presenting me with a few questions at the moment about whether to prune her a bit, at this stage I'll wait and see.

Freddd This is my second pyramid grow, I'm getting used to working with them now. This one has not stretched as much as my previous pyramid, but she is more bushy. I was forced to remove a few leaves just to get some light down the lower buds. Otherwise this is all running well.

Freddd Similar shape to my first pyramid grow the Purple Haze, but without the long stretch. Flowers have developed quite a bit the past week, I think this one could end up quite stocky and chunky.

Freddd She has settled in at 13 inches tall, but she is becoming heavily frosted and looks like producing some high quality buds. I had to do some defoliating because she was getting far too bushy, lots of smaller bud sites as well should looks very pretty when she is done.

Freddd Did some defoliation this week, although leaves are still very dark and bushy, buds are getting fatter and are looking very top shelf.

Freddd This one is very low maintenance, she's just gradually bulking up. Looking very stately.

Freddd Close to finishing very top shelf quality looking buds, small and compact with well developed flowers. She has some very earthy smells about her.

Freddd Got the chop just before week 11 finished, calyxes swollen everywhere didn't look like any more growth was coming. Only 14 inches tall but filled with very high quality bud, I've grown lemon pie before in a large hydro it was good but these buds seem better. I could see early on this was going to produce good flowers so really it's all about the genetics. I'm getting very confident now with these eazy pyramids, they appear to bring out the best qualities of the genetics with minimum of fuss. I could harvest the entire plant with a single cut! Didn't seem any point in chopping off all the stems as there wasn't much there. As such I'm downgrading my normal estimate of 20% to more like 16% of the wet harvest which was exactly 300gm so I would estimate around 48gm possibly a bit more.

Freddd I expected about 50g but she is so dense with bud and she produced 68g of top shelf bud from a one litre plug hand watered on a 5 inch saucer! I'm satisfied with that.
