Week 8 Day 1: how did we get here?! No major issues. Still learning the ropes when it comes to LST, so the focus these next couple weeks is getting this canopy flat and ready for flower. Any advice is much appreciated. Still need to get those clones out of the tent and need to think about any changes to fertilizing schedule over the next couple weeks. Kids were fed liquid nutrients for the second time 9/8, and will be recieving them once a week moving forward (hopefully every other watering). Gotta find a way to make watering a smoother process tho, might invest in a home RO filter 😂
Big dreams being discussed, this could be the start of the only cultivation, breeding, and distribution center that has a primary focus on re-entry and subsequent business development.. That’s how you do socially responsible business and policy.
You heard me?
What would you do to the new tops to avoid them being too much taller than the remaining canopy if you top late (like wk 3)? Connect them to the pot below the topping? above the topping? Chiropractic bend them? I plan to start SCROG in next 2/3wks
if you aren't too far into bloom, it'll be a negative effect. what you cut off won't grow out and it'll only result in lower yield.
LST it.. bend it down, even if temporarily until the other stuff catches up. HST is a good option later in blom of they stretch too much into lights and start damaging themselves.
so, topping is great as long as there is time for it to grow out. sometimes more branches off the same limb is not teh best option though.. you'll just spread what that limb can provide for way too thinly.
if you are using a scrog you should have put it down sooner and this wouldn't be an issue. you just keep bending the branch under "next" square of net. this keeps it even until you fill out aobut 70% of space. at that point if you flip it should fill in the rest easily with the 4+ weeks of growth that remains after flipping to bloom. you still have to do some minor LST to keep it perfectly even if you want to... sometimes it just takes bending a branch down in the morning and the time it takes for it to recover something can catch up uite a bit in that time.. repeat until satisfied... bigger variation may need a multi-day tie-down.. but then can release it later once things even out.
so many options, but it shouldn't be a ton of effort or work.. if so, change behaviour.
I've only fed using Gaia Green 4-4-4 once to date and notice no deficiencies. Should I re-feed fully with Gaia Green 4-4-4 in two weeks or add some of the power bloom during that feed? Would you reccomend adding any other nutrients to my grow?
I would not switch to power bloom on its own, mix it with a bit of all purpose as the N content of power bloom is to low.
I also find gaia green needs some extra Mg, if they have not shown signs already.
I also would only flip nutrients after the stretch. but can add in a nice PK booster when light cycle switches for a onetime boost
Good Luck!
