I was able to top both of these at day 14 at the third node which is the earliest I've ever been able to top, and I also took off all the ready to explode new leaves, this is more severe than I've ever dared, but it just seemed right for these. This completely debunks the myth that topping and/or defoliating slows them down because this one is flowering at 4 weeks, just two weeks after topping! and clearly flowering at that, which is the earliest I've ever had flowers.
I was in two minds about whether to put a net up because I never know how they are going to grow so I put up a light net that would not limit me too much if I needed to change it.
well done with the freaky resin globules which sometimes happen. Indeed, some of the phenotypes on this variety are ready from day 60 onwards....Nicely grown
@DutchPassion_Official, thanks, it's taken me a while but I have a new blackberry that I'm looking forward to growing now that I'm familiar with this strain.
I am impressed! Did u top these or just LST? My two thoughts on this strain- don’t over defoliate as they have a low leaf to bud ratio. Otherwise, it’s a really great strain to grow. I’m just about to harvest my BBK’s and they have done amazingly well. Decent sized plants, big chunky buds and really easy to grow. Good luck with yours! 😻
@Momgrowsthechronic, yes I see now now easy these are I'm only taking off the old dying leaves now. If this one tastes nice, it could become a permanent fixture.
@Momgrowsthechronic, cheers. Stronger one topped at third node, smaller one also topped at third node but had some extra branches removed. I basically treat it as a single plant.
