hello to all the marijuana growers, I wanted to ask you for advice, yesterday I practiced topping tecnique and I wondered if this technique is enough or if it is better to apply the main lining, what are the pros and what are the cons I have a tent of 60 ,60 ,150
If you're new to growing then I would suggest that you stick with topping and forget about mainlining for the time being. The reason is simple - get a sense for what a topped plant does after it's recovered and how it grows through the veg. and flower cycles. While you will get less uniform growth with topping than you would with mainlining, there is less recovery time (because mainlining is essentially 2 stages of topping) and obviously more branching. In combination with LST you can achieve very similar results on a shorter growth timeline. If however, you're not pressed for time and have some experience - mainlining the plant will add a couple extra weeks to veg. but pay huge dividends when it comes to your flowering cycle. The reasoning is simple - you'd be stripping all that lower growth below the topped node and effectively creating two large main branches that will act as the nutrient superhighways for the smaller branches of the plant that will grow above this node in the future. Explosive growth once the plant has matured and massive yields👍. I don't generally plug my grows but if you want examples of each then take a look at my Gorilla Glue diary (topped) vs. my Spliff Strawberry Diary (mainlined) and you'll see what I mean. Whatever you decide to do - good luck!👍
it grows splendidly, I decided to carry out the technical sgrog to help it grow uniformly for all the available space, which also seems insufficient. updates to the next week
It seems that it is difficult to bloom, but now we are almost there, now and over a week that I lowered the cycle of light, but perhaps because I gave him a nice tease, I stressed it and therefore slowed down a bit, for the rest it seems to grow strong and vigorous, next week I really think it will be the week of flowering. see you in the next week
For three weeks now I have lowered the daylight hours to 12 and only now are we starting to glimpse some pistils. In the meantime, it has occupied all the available space, and has also risen in height, so everything is going in the right direction and I must say that so far it has not given me any problems. I really think it will start blooming next week. Good job everyone.
this week I decided to give it more light given its large size, perhaps the 56 w of my opticled would have been enough, but having stopped my first cfl light I thought it wouldn't hurt. to next week.
a lot of lateral branches have come out on my plant, they are also small and I don't know whether to let them grow or cut them in order to concentrate the forces on the slightly larger ones, calculating that they are in the pre-flowering period, what should I do, leave them grow or cut them, I hope someone you want can help me, thanks
Hi your ph on earth fits I would even go down to 6.0 - 6.2 :-) but how high is your ec? otherwise nobody will be able to help you, and we also need their watering behavior :-)
