Hi Growmies.
I hope we are all well and in the green?. Even though still a little quiet on here at the moment , I hope my video can help someone to try training their plants and watch the results as we progress. It may seem long but I did all 4 girls and wanted to show the hardiness of these amazing species of plants. They have all really settled in over the past week and the reporting did not slow them down too much bit seems. seeing how much the Brice banner had ballonwd along with the Jealousy #1 was an unexpected surprise. Both ladies have enough nodes to really get to work with now . they didn't bat an eyelid at the topping and just of the new growing shoots. The "pop and twist" with thumb and forefinger is a great way of keeping the branches where you ideally want them to stay. it will help create a nodule that will be both string and very good as a distribution point for the uptaken nutes from the soil. The limbs will thicken too and help create the shape that I need before flipping to flowering. The two smaller girls have come back with a brilliant green cour thanks to the mega crop and its magical powers. lol
Both are wnow close to their host training points and hopefully will have caught up by the next diary entry. I want to get their tips to the pots edges before that point so that I can create the upward spikes of the chosen flowering limbs. keeping the lower sprouting growth on each limb will.allow all the energy to go into creating hopeful merristems. We want them all to think they are the main stem to get an even boost of available nutrition without feeding lower potential popcorn growth which can be an issue with l.e.d and penetration. The idea is to create a canopy of main buds if we can fool the plant enough. fingers crossed and I hope you can join me on this journey.
@love_2_grow,welcome aboard and thank you. hopefully have some interesting entries when they get their feet. I hope you will join the fun and input whenever you feel the vibe. No comment/advice is ever unwelcome and learning to grow the best bud we can comes from lots of shared experiences and experimenting. have a great day Growmie
@Zammi_official,Thanks you.
These strains have all been great to grow and harvest. With very little effort, they have proven themselves to be fruitful and really vigorous too. Nice and hardy to work with and no issues with bugs or deficiency. would happily recommend them all. π
@Eauderay,Thank you. They have been performing really well since Germination. hoping they continue to impress me noawnrhey have been put in 12/12 light. Thanks for the comment and welcome.
@Hermes88,I am not experienced with outdoor growing as our weather never really allows a decent summer to grow one. it will begin to flower as the days shorten to 12 hours and approx 8-11 weeks after , the flowers should be mature and ready to harvest. Dependant on the strains recorded flowering times by rje breeders.
@Hermes88,I think another week to ensure the branches reach the pots edges before I flip them to flowering. This should create bud spikes that have a nice spacing for air flow and light penetration to give the maximum availability of light to all the buds.
@Ganjagrandaddy, thank you again. I think I'll go for HST with topping and FIM. But I read that this strain takes 'til September to harvest because it's a photoperiod.
Am I wrong? Thank you for you kindness.
