Had a leaf related issue (see picture), plant was way too bushy, so I decided to try the radical approach and removed all the leaves, to see how she handle stress. She did recover in less than a week. I'm impressed by the energy of this strain, growth is spectacular for such low amount of light, she's been growing under x2 IKEA 10W bulbs for 4 weeks!!
Had a surprise in the mailbox today, MarsHydro sent me their par-38 led bulb, I'm going to try this bulb instead of the IKEA ones in my microgrowing setup.
@Tweak, I never water twice a day but usually I water until I got a good runoff to prevent salt buildup in the coco and to ensure a full refresh of the medium. 💧🌱
@Stick, I find the perlite helps with nutrient buildup in the coco, I use a airpot with 50/50 mix coco and perlite. Just find that sometimes in warm weather I have to water 2x a day
@petermoca, Thanks! Well, you should really wait for node n°5 before topping at node n°3, this will speed up the recovery process and the new growth for the 2 first main stalks. Quite the same for the next topping surgeries, wait for the plant to develop 2-3 nodes above the node you want to top. The canopy-ring definitely helped me in managing the LST, I highly recommend to buy or build something similar. I think that transplanting 3 times also helped in building a strong root system. Select your strain, you don't want to many side growth, you need a strong genetic with symmetrical nodes, some strains don't like to be bent, others are sensitive to scissor cuts... For every run I recommend to proceed to seedling selection (see the first weeks of my diaries). I'd be happy to follow your experience, and I remain available if you need further information. Happy growing! 👊
Gorgeous plant. You did an amazing job with getting this plant to take the shape you wanted. The amount and quality of the bud looks beautiful and u should be very proud of yourself! 👏
Just as suspected, flowers stacked on flowers 👌
You grew 15 yrs ago?! You've got me beat even I'm going on 10 😁 , not that my growing reflects it 😄😋
When I first saw the last photo of this week I could barely make out the black lighter in the jungle of nugs 👍👍
Cool insight on the "cold morning" I've read and heard ALOT and never heard read or put this together myself. Very cool thanks for sharing.
PS my grow is very cold and most of my plants are very tightly noded. Coincidence? I'll have to explore this subject more!
