Week 4, concluding the fourth week of vegetating:
Hi(gh) Guys,
I have 11 fingers. That is, not personally, but plant G has 11 fingered leaf. That’s a big positive sign. Secretly I hope for a polyploïd plant, but I guess that’s not the case. I think the kudos in this case go to Green Buzz Liquids, because there outstanding nutrients get the plants into top condition. The leaves from all plants are really big and beautiful healthy, that promises possibly some great results in the end.
The first thing this past week was figuring out what I’d wanted, go on with 4 branches or 6. But I’m going with the plan, and I’d removed also the 4th nodes branches from most plants. Topped them all and saved 4 branches per plant that are going to deliver the final shape. And I’ll be topping them at least two times more, and mainlining the 4 branches to the sides of the pot.
I wanted to combine topping and transplanting, but since I delayed transplanting them, on Wednesday I’d decided to top them in advance anyway. Leading to some recovering time the next day. But they recovered fine and grew a couple of cm’s
Today, on Sunday I’d finally transplanted them into the Homebox S. There still underneath the blue grow lights. I did some experimenting with extending the time underneath blue light while transferring into flowering, and I guess the bud becomes more compact that way. So this will be the first time I’ll apply it on an entire grow. I did however also put the sidebars into duty shining on top of the canopy from the top corners. While transplanting I’d added two layers of Neem-granulate which I’m using for a while now, it kills the larvae from those pesky little flies, and doing this way lasts an entire cycle. They also got the nutrients stated in the schedule. Only the spray will be starting this week.
Last thing’s concerning the schedule entirely. If I would transfer into flowering right now I would not be able to get to the desired final shape of the plant, it would be too soon. So, I decided to extent vegetating another week and see by the end of it how far they are.
I’m looking forward to see you back and check on the Larry Bird’s progress next week!
Grtz, Budcrack ;-)
The last figure shows the topping plan i'd pick for this round, but i didn't manage to grow my plants this way. Better luck next time! Only now i want to know, can anyone point me to a diary that shows a plant that actually is topped that way? Thank you very much. 😏
well , i would not hold on pictures..... in my opinion growing is to find your own style, and that is wht you did. Never seen plants trained like yours and i works... they show a great shape, have lots of flowers. and growing without issues. Get enough light etc. So i will say ... do your thing. refine your technic . And show us the results in the coming diaries
Check out my gelat.Og grow by seedsman. This is called mainlining or manifolding and it is a process where you top and train 3 times to create 8 main stems growing of a single "manifold".
@Budcrack,i was reading it, and i hope you find it out. My brain works alittle different, so iam not trying to top like this and let her frow in that shape. I think the problem is in the twodimensional painting.. it got to be 3D......i think they let the plant growlike crossesknow what i mean.. one node in direction from east to west, next node from south to north......
hi, just do it " the Budcrack-style" and train your girls your way. happy growing. Here on ds are several growers and i would rcognize their grows in their growstyle..
@Mrs_Larimar, i think what i really mean is this: those three topping plans of which i'd posted the figures i believe are indeed the baseline idea's of different ways of topping a plant. The other two, the V8 and the Plateau are totally clear, only that Chandelier topping plan doesn't make sense as the figure. I'd see the others on GD, so now i'm really looking for a plant that comes close to the figure, to better understand.
Thank you very much for sharing your first Diarie with our 100% organic product range.
We wish you maximum success with your Larry Bird Kush Grow.
If you have any questions pls feel any time free to contact us here via chat.
@Fruitgrower: thanks, i watched your proces with the Gelat OG. Could you point me towards someone who is most experienced in this proces? I think your retarding to much considering the state when you flipped 12/12. I would like to see the most efficiënt version of this proces. Thanks for the input bro!
There are a few growers here doing awesome mainlining that's why I wanted to try it out. I can't remember their names though.... @sticky does some. And I think a couple of the master growers have done good ones. This w my first attempt and it spent the first 8 weeks under cfl bulbs(could be why it's squat and dwarf like.
@Fruitgrower, ok, i'll see too it, but given the double vegtime i don't think it's going to work. It's important not to retard to much during veg, or timing it correct if you will. What you did with lollipopping so early threw at least 3 weeks delay. What would happen if you start topping, you now did with 3 weeks, but much later with a higher situated node. If you would let it grow until 5 or 6 weeks, and meanwhile pinch every branch beginning except the top two! All that leaf will grow big and deliver energy to your plant, like it's personal solar-field 😏 Then you start mainlining like you did week 5. The plant will have plenty of energy to grow, and lollipopping at that point, except your fanleafs below offcourse, like you did with your current grow, won't retard so much. Cheers bro!
@Budcrack, I also did something very similar called fluxing (which is when you do it really early and with younger plant). I did this with an auto Ggg1 and it worked great! There is a great tutorial by nugs bucket on grow weed easy, Google it, it helped me alot. But yes it is going to double your veg period.
@Fruitgrower, yeah, i know, but your trying it that's great! But i have to see how an efficiënt grow develops to determine if it fit's my yearly schedule. It's no use if i have to pregrow for more than 10 weeks, but i fear that if you manage to grow a big plant with this technique that it's gonna take a while to do so. My search continues, thanks bro! 👊
Thanky for Update, all plants look very healty at the moment.
From now on we look specially forward to see the differents between you Plant B, C, G & H
and A, D, E, F with the constantly usage of our new GROWZYME Product.
@GreenBuzzNutrients, P.s. 09-10: Today i'd removed the middle two plants to better compare between them after 2,5 weeks of adding Growzyme to half of the plants, the differences at this point are evident; plants receiving Growzyme bounce back much faster from intervening the growth, also the stems are thicker, more abundant leave growth, thicker buds with much more white hairs, and last but not least more resin production and that’s what where all doing this for, so I’m excited! Great addition to an already great product line. Can’t wait to see the difference in end-weight. Growzyme = good stuff for good stuff ;-)
@GreenBuzzNutrients, at this moment the difference is predominantly the smell, much stronger at the Growzyme plants. I'm very curious too! Thanks again!
