GGxWW

Best-laid plans of mice and men... Topped and removed a couple leaves. 24 hours later can tell i didn’t shock the plant, so all is well. Bit worried about removing both leaves near top. Thankfully, those auxiliary buds are growing vigorously regardless, and the canopy remained roughly the same area at the time of trimming/topping. Leaves are getting massive. Lower growth is slightly showing its age. I'll train the axes with more growth out 24" long. The other axes needs to remain closer to 12" wide. I'm keeping the top 2 nodes bent down when I irrigate as the others are nearly even. After a little more growth i'll top anything with a couple nodes that is growing out on the 24" axes. I try to skip a node when i prune. Send everything out one way or the other and let auxiliary growth fill middle. Clean it up as neccessary. Train as neccessary to maintain rate of growth i want in various areas of future canopy. Pictures show before and after topping. Newer pictures show the growth since that point and through completion of 4th week. Just in a few days the canopy is significantly different. Growth is nearly balanced out by height. Great thing about this plant is it stays pliable for a while. Bad thing about this plant is it stay pliable for a while LoL! Can get floppy with bigger plants in bloom. Not 100% i'll stick to thes plan, but it sounds good today. The end goal remains the same. Both plants need to be roughly 12”x24” when they go into bloom area to fill out the space. So far all the phenotypes of GGxWW are very much alike when it comes to growth patterns. Auxiliary growth simply is inevitable with it and it happens quickly. The width will be difficult to maintain. The side with fewer auxiliary growths will need to be stalled a bit while the other axes of plant grows out. This will not be an efficient grow. Wasted time for sure during vege. This will be much easier with 4 plants in the same space. Had i thought about it more, i would have LST'd from the beginning. Had a bright idea i'd learn something i already know - the behaviour of the plant after you prune it. Still adjusting lights a bit in vege area. Going to push vege area a bit harder and see how it responds. +10% intensity started Friday(5/29). At end of week (5/31) it seems okay so far. Little droop for final 30-45mins before lights out, so maybe too much? Wouldn't expect them to rest that long in a healthy cycle, but could be wrong in that guess. Looking into some super phosphates. I’d like to bump P for this and future grows. My bloom canopies are strong but can be better, and I think this is the culprit.
