Hawkbo 6 Shooter x2 [500+g]

Trying to recover from ph issues At 2 weeks about half of the 12 FB strains got a high ph feed somehow and r/o was coming out 6.5 Flushed with a gal and fed with ph 5.5. Down to 6.2 but the damage was done Hopefully the new run will be dialed in

#2 is doing very well #1 is just a little slower. I'm sure someone has already done this before but in an effort to decrease the footprint of some of my plants still in veg to save space, I started doing I guess a reverse lst? Instead of pulling the side branches down and away from the mail stem, I pulled them back towards the main stem and tied them to it to prop them up. The last picture of the week shows what I'm trying to describe. Does anyone do anything comparable to this without using a trellis net or have any reason why this might be a bad idea? My 4x8 is maxed out right now, I hand water to waste so scrog is kinds out of the question.

They took off this week I've been defoliating and pulling branches towards the main stem strictly to save space. It has resulted in some funky shaped plants but great canopies

#2 is a monster and #1 is barely flowering. Twisted new growth on both has been noticeable for the past week but the continue to grow rapidly. Hoping to get some color from the crystal meth side of things. Btw for anyone unfamiliar with this strain it is Mexican Airlines X crystal meth

Switched over to botanicare for bloom to see if I have better results. I think I have had too much N through out flower with canna and the cns is cheap so what the he'll. Starting to get some aroma from her a little berryish. The topped one is still early in flower barely a q tip at the top. Will update soon with more pics

#2 is further along but #1 is taller by a few inches at 44" tall but it was also topped. Very impressed with how these are shaping up and will update again next week. Still confused about the kool bloom, why does the ripening/dry have extra N if it's for the last 2 weeks and the other liquid bulking doesn't have any?

#1 is still rippin #2 is on last flush Smell is overpowering of pine and berries and the buds are solid as rocks

Chopped down the first one 5 days ago just waiting for it to dry. Smell is very strong like pine and berries. Or pine berries? Is that a thing? I think supporting the side branches allowed them to pack on some extra weight. When untied they were floppin like your old aunt Margery. The second one is just ridiculous. It's taking longer cuz it was topped and not much pruning it has alot of flower to fill out. Havnt sampled yet but I 100% will grow this again it's a top dawg in the tent. I had to edit the last pic a lil bit but I'm 6'1" for size comparison. Hope you enjoy the pics thanks for following along and your support.t I highly recommend this strain.

The one that got chopped weighed in at 169g I assume the 2nd one will be more. Smoked a fat joint of it last night and wasn't disappointed, great late night smoke, noticeably smooth and a lovely piney taste.

Needs one more flush before chop, was surprised at the size and density of the nugs on the side branches. There are exactly 6 main shoots on her that are all close to the size of the main cola on the first one. This is an amazing strain.

Never had an issue, i was a little nervous they wouldn't get big but even after they started flowering they continues to stretch. Temps were kept under 80 the majority of the grow and humidity around 40%. This is perfect for beginners and experts due to the yield potential and potency. You gotta try it if u can. I'll try and post some better photos when I have a little more time. Appreciate all the support and everyone following along. Happy growing folks.000
