Growing is never boring to me but not tons going on with the girls. I am starting to see some really nice branch development.
Hesitant but I am going to start some really mild Pest Prevention. Light mist with Neem oil, top bottom and media.
ScrOG is out 18" from the floor about 12" from the plants. I shortened it. I am not worried about filling it up. Going to try working in 4's. Four nodes, 1 branch (4 ScrOG squares) 4 shoots off each branch to flower and 4 bud sites on every flowering stem. I'm sure most is because of my inexperience but there is a bunch of fluff that starts, even on great plants, below 4 nodes. Don't get me wrong... my fluff has been very useable both to smoke and edibles. But I get a charge out of beautiful firm buds.
Again, I am determined not to over Veg these plants. I want to see how earlier flowering goes.
Changed reservoir
Curled Sugar Leaves. In RDWC, others not showing. Fans leaves not showing. Doesn't seem to affect too adversely but the plant is slightly smaller. I have noticed in previous grows. Any ideas 4 my future grows? Thanks 😊 Growmies!
genetics .. seems to happen when rails of trichomes form along edge, in my expeience. otherwise the typical things that can cause "tacoing" can be ruled out to be more certain. plant looks healthy in that 1 picture, though, so as longn as it looks healthy i'd go with genetics.
you can't force this sort of trichome development... we can only impact small percentages. like red vs blue wavelengths.. yes one promotes axillary growth but it's not a huge impact. important to know scale of effect to deal with it appropriately. you'll never be able to force feed aplant like foie gras and make this outcome happen... only some plants have this trait... it may or may not be correlated to good things.. you'd need lab equipment and large sample sizes to compare to a control group of some sort to discern... devil's advocate .. what if all the leaf trichome development leeches from buds? probably not true, but can't just assume cause and effect cause we like the outcome either.
@Lboogie, shooting for end of next week. Girls have turned out nice. I believe they are going to be fairly solid and heavy. Thanks for the interest. I'll keep ya posted. Great luck with your upcoming. I am excited to watch em!
@TeamQuality420, Thanks you. I get the notion that you need to move energy to the top. However, I just hate removing a bunch of stuff. I'm learning. I still think nature put all those giant fan leaves on there for a reason. I'm just nervous that way.😲😬😀
@Ezzjaybruh, Thank you. That "chunky" style, if you will, is nice. Probably my favorite. I am just learning and observing. I am very interested to see variations and different types of development. Thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement. Good luck with your grows!
