At day 70 from seed, 24 days since the switch to 12-12, she has stretched tremendously. I'm glad I switched her to flower when I did and didn't veg her another week. I'm hopeful that she is close to done stretching as I can only increase the height of my light another 4"-6". I've continued to defoliate. I'll stop soon as she will likely stop making new leaves in a week or two. I took another pass at lollipopping her and was more thorough this time. I'm glad I manifolded her. Of the 8 colas that she had at the beginning of flower, they've all grown and stretched 10"-12". This is ideal as even though she is stretchy, her colas are all at basically the same height. We'll see how much support she needs later in flower, but right now this whole manifolding / main-lining technique is sweet! The unknowns right now are yield and if she'll need support later in flower. Genes will definitely impact both but I'm hoping for a bountiful harvest and no tying or bracing needed.
@GrowFanatic, Thanks for your comment and thanks for following! To grow any strain from seed is an investment. Based on awards given and comments I've heard on YouTube and other places, I think this strain is special. We'll see how the next 6 weeks or so go though. Hoping for the best. I'll definitely finish this grow and journal.
Hello bro ! Glad to see it's going quicker than expected , with your hydro system you win a week or 2 compared to a soil grow! Nice done ! I am also a smell fetishists 😂🤣 : so how does she smell ?
@@Greenjum, too bad about the hermies. 14-15 weeks is a long time for an auto! I've done a few auto but they are always supposed to take 8 weeks and end up taking 11 for me. So I just do normal photo period now. Good luck to you in the future!
Check out my 2nd grow, I'm using a bread tie that jams into the rockwool (not too deep so as not to cut any root) and forms a circle to help hold up the stem. It works really great, also keep rotating it to make it stronger.
