Still very cold overnight although the sun is getting higher in the sky and just as she starts to grow nice a low down dirty possum chews it back! This is normal for NZ, any grower here will tell what shits possums can be to your plants. Especially at this time of year when the possums have just come out of a harsh winter where food is sparse so sweet smelling strains early in the spring like fruity loops are almost irresistible to their hungry guts! It will be ok but it is frustrating. Heres hoping the next couple of weeks she can repair..again and come back even stronger. Secretly I know she will. Sticky Buds everyone!
@@Alchemy_Aotearoa,Hahaha, I love stories like this, from the fact that you accidentally found a technique, to the fact that the police were confused😂, very cool story. I wish you all the best.
@Ancient_Genetics, Aw thanks Nitro, this is an old school technique I learned by mistake initially. I believe it started when a storm came and completely smashed my young plants many many years ago. I gave up on them and went back home for a month to raise some more seedlings (we didn't do clones much back then) when I got in to plant my new plants the old ones had turned into bushes almost a meter high while I was away. This is where I learned about multiple branching and stress training although I didn't know what it was called back then. I would recommend this technique if you do it early in the season with a large clone or seedling you will see amazing bushes. I once got caught by police with one big plant like this and because it had multiple stems growing from out of the ground I had to fight to prove it wasn't many plants planted close together...I won eventually when I got them to reluctantly dig the stem and rootball from under the ground...when they did so they could see clearly it was one stem and one rootball. Back then even the police were impressed with that. Funny old times.
