๐๐ฆ D64: Start of Week 10
The Ape is a beast. She grew almost another 8 inches this week. I've taken my lights up almost as high as I can go - I have a few inches to play with if I get creative but I pray she has stopped stretching now. The other plant in my tent, Wedding Cake, has stretched hardly at all by comparison and I've had to raise her bucket off the floor to get her canopy even with the Ape. Buds are forming really nicely and she's getting quite fragrant - more to the skunky side at this point. Time for this monkey to grow fatter instead of taller.
Thanks for checking in. โ๏ธ

Hey man, it looks almost the same but I don't think I would try to split it because the leaf blades are not separate on yours. I would gently bend it over so that first node can get more light and those little branches will start growing up. Once you get some good leaves on those then you can see if you should top it or not

@stunflower, she looks great. I figured those branches would shoot up since the top kinda smothered itself out. I think this will actually improve your yield in the end. Just watch the branches and periodically tie the dominant one down to keep a nice even canopy. 2 to 3 weeks and you will be set up for a nice flower session if she continues to cooperate like she is now

@Wicked_Stix, Looks like she's going to be fine. It's like she topped herself - she seems to be developing as expected now but with two main stems. Thanks again for your advice. ๐

@stunflower, No problem. Once you get it bent those little side branches will become dominant and grow up pretty quick

https://niagaraseedbank.com/ is the most affordable seed bank I've found that delivers seeds from top breeders in the OG packaging - highly recommend them (no affiliation). This is the first time I've seen their house brand be grown. I'll be watching with interest. Grow little monkey! ๐

@EhlersChick, LOL! Great video. Twiggy hasn't really shown much interest in the fan leaves beyond giving them a sniff. Your kitty is a connoisseur!

@stunflower, Hey I see you have a little floor manager too! Does Twiggy like eating the fan leaves? Mine can't get enough - I have to keep him away from the grow area because the little bugger will chew the tips off all the lower leaves!

@MrGreenFingers, No. The plant stopped growing at the top after the 3rd set of leaves formed (week 2) and the only new growth was one set of leaves above the first node. I pulled the plant over following the advice of @Wicked_Stix and those little side branches became dominant - she essentially topped herself. I topped each of the resulting 2 stems once (week4) and she's spawned the 11 tops you see now (I broke one ๐) I wish all my plants would start this way.

I've found this strain doesn't need as much food as the manufacturers recommend. Half dose seems like too much for my ape as well..

@MountainMatt, Timely question. I just checked on her drying and cut a bud to sample. Given she's had no cure at all, I was quite surprised how tasty she was - you can certainly taste the fruity, grape flavour come through in the vaporizer. She also packs more of a wallop than I was expecting - nice, heavy indica stone. Just the way I like it. ๐
