Maggie's now finally joined the collective in preflower and seems to be slightly catching up in height. The others are well into a good old stretch bringing their own issues with the canopy management.
I don't want to move the trellis too much til Maggie joins the tall club but there's not much I can do other than spread them as much as I can.
Ideally I'd be defoliating the dominant colas to slow them down a bit but from what I've read it's not a good idea to stress and Auto in pre.
They're all much thirstier now and I'm addicted to that sweet stink bursting out every time I open the tent. All of the training techniques used til now are likely going to become my standard as the girls have all responded ridiculously well to all the stress.
Towards the end of the week/start of week 8 I'll be looking at defoliating a bit to free up some space on the canopy and slow down the big stems a bit. Some time I'll be looking at adding the PK to the nute mix but I'll be waiting til I'm 1000% sure they're ready for it.
Nice my friend, I would definitely recommend topping as it can seriously increase yield and I find it easier to lst.
Buy if your gonna top then do it just before you feed then it helps with the stress πππ
@Kommandant666, never fimmed mate only ever topped and trust me I wouldn't go back to natural.
Key is nice healthy plant growing day by day top between the 2nd or 3rd week depending on growth and after you do it feed them it helps with the stress
I seen a guy put a small bucket in his tent with a towel half in and out if the bucket, pointed the fan at it and the towel acted like a wick and brought water up then when the fan air hit it presto it raised it and in the plus side if it goes up to much you can lift it out πππ
@Green_fiend, I actually tried the towel method with my NLA grow but it didn't work so well, a lot of hovering over it and making sure it didn't dry or get too humid. Wound up just placing a water dish in the corner and letting the heat from the lights do the work. Normally sit around 35% and that raised it to a nice 42 - 48% pretty reliably. Think there needs to be a pretty specific temp range for it to work like this tho, just been super lucky π
