The girls have been doing a lot of developing during week 5. I'm still nervous about the LST. My plants really stretched a lot on my first grow so I decided to attempt LST so I could have more bud, less stretch. I'm hoping that the colas will continue to stretch a bit during weeks 6 and 7.
Put new pics up of her last day in week 3. They both have taken off. Both have sexed and are beginning the stretch. I can't wait to upload for week 4. I have started LST and have removed a couple of leaves to enable the light to get through. I am working on "thoughtful" pruning where I remove a little at a time. More leaves towards the base of the plant and any larfy buds that will drain energy from the plant. I also switched some of my nutes and added a few. I'm really happy with Advanced Nutrients and am trying to follow the schedule. I am excited about this and hope I don't screw up.
@nicogm, Thanks. I'm hoping things will stay calmed down. I'm almost at the end of week 6. I'm working on adding week 5...but I can't wait to put the new pics up. I've never seen a stalk as big as the one on Blackberry. We changed two things with out second grow: the size of the container and additional nutrients. I'm excited to see what she will look like 2 weeks down the road.
I love purposeful defoilation, and lst. I also FIM as soon as growth piks up, for me it's week 2. Good luck with it all!! So what if you screw up, can't make better ladies without taking some risks! I broke an arm on blackberry, taped her up and moved on, luckily I think she's healing ok. Good luck, I'm right there with you😍🌱
@Phedre,key to germination is warmth and darkness , California snow is good for medicinal , but quite knockout for half an hr, gorilla glue is super strong , my Mexican airlines is a real upper , energetic ..
I've been keeping up with my girls and taking photos but a death in the family has been tough to deal with so I slowed down as far as continuing with the diary. I'm back and will be adding weeks. I finally was able to get more of the Advanced Nutrients line and the results have been amazing. I can't wait to put the pics up!
