I pretty much left this plant alone right from the start, no topping or training of any kind, just the removal of a leaf here and there, recently I used some pipe cleaners and spread the plant out a bit, just for better airflow and light penetration. The smell coming off this plant is amazing, everytime I move the plant it smells like something you would put on toast๐๐, very berryish like grape or blackberry jelly, makes you wanna just take a bite...
We're getting close to the finish line so I switched from the bloom and booster to the finish product. I'll use the finish for 1-2 weeks and then flush with pure spring water until harvest time.
See you in a week๐..

@northernMike, that's awesome bro, you definitely should give yourself a pat on the back for making it to harvest successfully. It is nothing like enjoying the fruits of your labor! Remember to puff puff pass๐ sharing is caring๐๐ช
@LegacyMarketFarm, Good morning, I think there is lots of variables, like if you plant the seed directly into 3 gal. pots whether you soak them in paper towel or not. It also depends on how long you leave your plants in the solo cup before transplanting and whether or not you use Great White or Dr. MaryJane beneficials. I started to use Great White in the solo cup and every time that I transplant to a 3-5 gal. container a couple years ago and most of the plants have almost doubled in size and the roots just explode. I also use Dr. MaryJane beneficials when I mix the soil for after transplant, I always mix some in the soil before transplanting. I also use a little amout of GR. White (1mL/4L) during the first few weeks of flower when I feed with molasses. For the most part almost every pot fills up with roots this way, there is exceptions of course because growing autos is never very consistent, but that's all part of the EXPERIMENT!!!!
@Cyrusdavirus, Very interesting! My first tutorial series I filled 3 gallon bags half full to experiment with soil efficiency. When I worked the facility it was 2 bags per bed 50 plants per bed so 25 plants per bag of pro mix. When I went to load the 3 gallons I was not going to get anywhere near that number so I cut the soil usage in half & filled them half full.
So far from that crop compared to this crop, I have noticed the intake was higher I was able to give them more water, More feeds in the first series compared to this one now with completely full bags. Also the flower time seems unchanged as these are kicking into flower right around the same time as the last ones did.
There must be something to this though if you have noticed it. I wonder if it is strain specific ? Or dependent on how fast the roots fill up their pot ?
@LegacyMarketFarm,Thanks very much๐. I barely touched this plant, she just did her own thing, she liked the food early in flower and I gave it some Terpinator just about every watering. Should be ready for harvest this weekend๐, I think It'll be a good one...
