Plants are growing well again this week so I decided to do some more topping. The Gorillas are so thick it's hard to see the stems. The one Gorilla I chopped each Mainline branch at 3 nodes and cleaned off node two. Should leave me with 8 main colas. The other Gorilla I chopped each of the 4 colas growing at 3 nodes and cleaned off node 2. Should leave me 16 Main colas on that one. I did the same on the Blue Dream Mainline, but the Blue Dream with 4 colas is not growing very fast so I left it alone this week. I bumped up the Ferts to almost full strength Promix, no signs of burn yet so all is well! Overall I'm happy about how these guys are growing and am super curious as to see what the difference in yield between 8 and 16 main colas will be.
So bloody good! Looks lovely!
So youβd recommend topping the Gorilla in terms of more yield? ...Iβve probably got enough room to go high, but wondering which will increase yield.
@DKGrow, only realised after yours is obviously photoperiod not auto. So there is that to consider for me...
Might just try an old fashioned photo plant next though.... did always like the veg/training aspect
@Yucreepin, thanks man!
I would definitely recommend topping or the main-line method. I've grown before without it and you get some huge buds, but overall not nearly as much as with topping or main-line. I went with Nugbuckets method: https://www.growweedeasy.com/manifold and that is my new favourite. if you got the room I would let them get to at least 3 feet. I stopped Veg at 2ft and they only shot up another foot in flower, I was expecting them to double.
So many absolutely gorgouse buds. Spectacular work growmie. Keep doing what it is you've been doing and may the ganja garden gods give you good fortunes until the end
@ChefDan420, Ya, looking back I should have hacked a lot more off when they were about 3 weeks into flower. Next grow they are getting a massive defoliation at 3 weeks. I'm going to really boost up the PK ferts next time too.
