1. Winter is coming. I'm not sure how well my tent will hold heat, so I'm growing seeds that I've accumulated locally. They cost me little, so if the grow goes south then I won't have wasted my expensive, smuggled seeds. 2. I've made several changes to my grow space to ensure that I have adequate heat for this grow. First, I moved the tent away from a drafty door, and an outside wall. Secondly, I insulated the floor of my tent because it sits on tile. Third, I changed the light cycle so the lights are on at night. This will keep the heat higher during the cold desert nights. Finally, I installed a tiny heater and placed it in front of my oscillating fan. So far the temperatures have been in the low 80s during the day, and dropping down to the mid to high 60s during the dark period. 3. This round I will be using Happy Frog due its microbial richness, and Ocean Forest to keep my stalks nice and strong. I will be using recharge to keep my microbes happy. I will feed with AN nutrients. I will only use Recharge and Sensei Grow P. 1-2 for veg. 4. I will be topping at the 5th node, then mainlining down to the 3rd node, removing all secondary growth. I will train those 2 tops out to create the manifold. I will keep nodes 1, 3 and 5, pruning nodes 2 and 4. Finally, I will top the 2 main tops into 4 main tops at node 5. I'll let them recover, prune the lower canopy nodes, defol, then flip to flower. I'm using basically the same method as I found on https://www.growweedeasy.com/mainlining-nugbuckets and https://www.growweedeasy.com/manifold. 5. My goal is to increase my yield per plant and to practice some training methods that I haven't learned yet.

@Quexos, you should be able to tell far before you switch the lights , well thats depending on how long you plan on vegging them lol

@The_Projexx, Thanks again. This is a pretty ambitious grow. There are 7 plants in the tent at the moment. Only 1 is feminized, so who knows what will happen when I flip them.

Nice development there! They'll be beautiful in the stretch 😉👍

@Quexos, yes bro the bushy ones are a pain to train, I usually pinche the hell out of the main stem so that the sides branch out. Anyway it's looking great, can't wait to look at the stretch!

@@SeedLover, Thanks. I'm getting a lot of practice mainlining and LST. The Indicas are a lot harder to manage. The stems and stalks are really thick and close together. They don't like being trained.

You have a forest growing in your tent bro! This is going to be your biggest haul yet I bet!!

Quexoscommented6 years ago
@TreeTent310, Oh easily, but there are really only 3 plants in the tent that will be really nice. I've already removed the tall, gangly one in the back. I might remove another bagseed. That way I can focus the light on the 4 plants with strong genetics. The Blue Dream is about ready to flower. She is not as big as the White Fire though.

Looking good so far! Are you planing on topping again or just letting them do their thing more or less for the rest of veg.
Quexos
Quexoscommented6 years ago
@TreeTent310, I'm not going to top them again. I'm already running out of room in the pots for training!!! I plan on letting the second topping get to 3 nodes then flip. Most of the plants are done with the first node. A few are working on the 3rd node. This weekend I'll prune the 2nd nodes and continue training. Otherwise I'm just going to let them spread out and develop. I'm thinking about 2 weeks before flipping. I'm hoping 1-2 are males. I'm not sure I have enough room for 6 flowering ladies! Oh woe is me!😉

@Quexos, I have the same problem lol I usually supercrop and defoliate only but this time I wanted to try something new. Your plants grow very well, they'll bounce back from the carnage in a day!

@@SeedLover, Thanks! Its going to be painful when I prune away all that beautiful growth.
