Changed feed by getting rig of Fox Farms Grow Big to reduce Nitrogen. The ladies on average grew 4 inches from last week, Buds are stacking up and looking good. Some defoliation throughout the week but nothing major.
Started to see a few Thrips on the fan leaves which came from my other tent. Purchased 5 million Nematodes Sf and was able to treat them a couple of days ago. We'll see in a couple of week if they work.
Other than the Thrips, everything seems to be doing well. The ladies are going through flowering stretch and I expect them to keep going for another week. Then the buds should start fattening up π
nah i had mediocre results with 90Β° bends, so it really depends on how extreme you want your scrog to be . I would really avoid SCROG, but LST is like, absolutely necessary for those yields, so i would "do the usual" more than 90* bend and would rather have pickets for plant trainors. Hope this helps ! π
I have a zkittlez going at moment, it has really bushed out when I applied LST to it. After a few weeks it's pretty much took over my whole tent, but it's got a great even canopy now. I would LST if I was u and get them to fill your area.
The LSD-25 I have found hard to grow for some reason, must have tried 10 seeds and never manage a decent yield, everything else I try from fastbuds seems good, I just struggle with yield on the LSD-25.
@hashy, This will be my 3rd time growing autos. The most recent Blackberry was just LST. My 1st time was LSD-25 topped + LST but had cal-mag deficiency which stunted growth (at least thats what i think happened). Iβve been itching to use my screen again but have to wait until I grow photoperiods again. Damn fastbuds keep sending me seeds. Itβs really hard to pass up the offer and not grow them. Hahaha! I might have to go with your suggestion π€
Hey there, not sure it's particularly useful for you but you can take a look at my diaries where I sort of fail at 90Β° bends on LST, and there's plenty more where that came from ! anything over 90Β° and i think you're golden for LST - hope this helps ! π
@CRiSPrGrow, I've tried doing that in the past but not at that extreme of an angle. For some reason I'm not a fan of it.... I like symmetry in my plants structure π¬. I prefer topping and LST
@DILLIGAF, SOG is not an option for this grow as I only have 3 seeds. I know autos and SCROG don't really go hand in hand but I am curious to see how it turns out. Thanks for the input mate!
@WiddieThePooh, Thanks! I'll be cleaning it up a bit on my nest grow. Need to remove lover growth to prevent the smaller larfy buds that really don't amount to much.
Looks banging brother!! My facking carbon filter dropped and mangled little Z'key and stunted her big time. I just don't want to let her go πππ΄π΄πππ
@greenmachine thanks for the response. I am limited on vertical space and have a small tent. I guess I cant go wrong with topping and a little LST π
