Week 6, concluding the sixth week of vegetating:
Hi(gh) Guys,
Great week! Sometimes the answers come by themselves in time. Last week I was in doubt how long I would need before topping, now there’s pheno ‘D’. The first plant that reaches the shape I had in mind before the second topping. And it’s a beautiful plant. I topped all of the main nodes, and 4 offshoots. The rest of the plants are measured by this one. Plant C lost a branch, but replaced it with an offshoot. Plant’s A, B and C are not quite there yet and need to pick up some height this upcoming week. Plant E is also really nice, one node needs to stretch a bit before topping. Plant F has got one node topped, the other 3 need to pick up some height first. Plant G lost a piece of a branch, that was the nice pheno, so bummer. But there where offshoots so in the end replaced. Plant H nice but needs some time.
So this next week will be the last before switching to 12/12 next Sunday, calling in the good part. So, Enrico from Green Buzz Liquids assured me to prepare a special spray, applied exactly 5 days before switching to 12/12. The contents of this spray are FB 20ml, MR 2ml, HAP 2ml, OGL 0,5ml to one liter of water, and needs to be applied 5 days before switching to 12/12, and then every other 5 days for two weeks. This approach would shorten the time to go into flowering, and I’m used to 2 weeks before little crowns have formed and flowering is off. Preparing to switch, next Thursday I’ll switch from 18/6 to 15/9 and next Sunday it’s time.
This week I’d had a little last minute holiday, and since the plants are in a phase that’s demanding a lot of attention AND because giving thing’s out of my hand is a little difficult for me, I’m happy to say that my mother-in-law did an terrific job tending to my daily goings during my absence. So, thank you! Much appreciated. I made her a 2 sided pdf but she worked through it greatly! I felt like a plant-executioner when I got back and needed one last tie-down, risking some casualties made by me!
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!
