So I wasn't very good about taking pictures this week. Only took pictures on Day 35. But what happened this week is what usually happens in Week 5 - Scrogging.
This week I'm usually just trying to keep every part of the plant possible under the net. The most important parts of the scrog net are the four center squares, what I call the "inner square". The goal is to get the plant to grow under the net until it reaches the boundary of that inner square.
Once the plant has grown horizontally out past the boundary of that inner square, you can start letting her grow above the scrog net. And btw, I set the net to 11 inches all around above the floor I'm sitting on (you know I'm seated "yoga style" with legs crossed for all of this. Right? No other way to do it and get to plant "eye-level".)
So this week, I use the palm of my extended hand to literally push down on one corner of the plant of that inner square to get her to flatten out under the net. Like making the branches play the Limbo game. Then put the leaves under.
And that's how scrogging starts - usually with all the LST still tied to the plant.
Anyway, you can see in the Day 35 picture above, that scrogging went well.
Plant very well handled! You did everything right from start to finish to enjoy those huge buds... Good luck with that expensive harvest and good vibes with that plant!
@@RagnarLothbrook, Thank you!
My trim jails are notoriously long. So yes, expensive.
Costs me a couple Red Bulls or Monsters too! 😉😊
But yeah, the size of this one means there won't be a next one for a while, so that's cool. I like growing, but there are other things I want to focus on so it's nice to be stocked up for the long break I'm gonna take until the fall. Thanks again, buddy!
@Civicgrows, Hmmm...
I don't think I have a favorite to "grow", really. The challenges that come from growing are all accepted by me, I'm never lokoing to make things easy, because that sets you up for failure. Growing is growing. Just do the work. That's my thought process. I have come to expect Green Crack to be a honeybadger of a grow. Happened twice, so. Wedding Cake gave me two completely different phenos, so.. 🤷♀️
But this Lemon Pie I'm vaping now is amazing. It tastes lemony/sour. I like that. And it's really good for the soul. A good self-therapeutic. It's been very helpful. Lemon Pie has been my fave because the buds were really really beautiful, and the effect is exactly what I needed. I believe a good limonene strain is great for mental therapy you can do by yourself. And in the short term I've been smoking Lemon Pie, I feel much better.
Which is why I vape these days. Honestly, I'd love a day I don't need to vape weed anymore, and just do it for kicks every once in a while. Maybe Lemon Pie finally helps me get there.
Things going well though.
I subbed your youtube channel, btw.
Nice stuff!
And great question! Thanks!
😀👍👊
Wow! Finishing beautifully, Some monster colas for only 1 ft tall in 2 gal pot. Enjoy that great lemon flavor and skunky-ness, SLH is a long time favorite of mine. Can't wait to see your harvest results.
@WhiteEdge, thank u! Not exactly tho.
She seems to be foxtailing a little which will cost her some points at the beauty pageant.
But she's otherwise doing great.
Smells really skunky and she's getting frosty.
Yes! 😍😍👌
The most important thing after sprouting, is the stem of the sprout. If it is thick, like yours, it is healthy and good. When it is thin like a hair, it has no hope, because it had not enogh nutrients. The first days, are very important for the grow.
A modern Lamp with LEDs emits about half of the input power into heat and the rest into light, which is phantastic. An old Lamp just emitted 3 to 5 % light.
Not all heat of the lamp, is direct radiation. Even heat, can be useful to the plant, if it is not too much.
Just wow! How much, you are able to harvest with such a small tent and only 100 watts of light! Amazing.
I would like to see your next grow experience here, but because you have plenty of buds left, you wont start now. It seems, we have to install new restrictive rules for you, like only using the small lamp to the end, or a hand tied behind your back. just kidding. 😂
