She had some really wild humidity swings all through last week
in order to combat this a 4" Hydrolab EC fan was installed and has been running at 75%
so far the temps have been more stable.
If the humidity had been more stable last week there would have been more vertical growth.
She was less affected by these swings than her sister (cheese XXL x Mandarina) having an airier more sativa-like structure.
In light of her good nature Some more adventurous steps were taken.
Bondage applied
first the second colas had to be tied down until the tops of the first and second cola were approximately even.
Then the top 3 internodal sections received some light crushing in preparation, the top was tied down from the second internodal stretch
and tightened until horizontal to the ground (90.) making the smaller upper branches more level with cola sets 1 & 2
now she has a nice fairly even canopy, it might even be time for some light defoliation...
Unfortunately due to an unpredicted power surge that damaged vital computing equipment the documentation of this process is missing.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused by only having after shots without the before.
she also took some fairly heavy defoliation even with humidity in the 70s and temps above 28.c she has recovered.
being to be an impressive and even canopy of sweet little bud sites very pleasing from the top down.
Lastly the addition of beneficial nematodes in a preventative capacity should ward off unwanted guests.
More effort to promote bio diversity in the soil will be made latter but for now hopefully nematodes will be enough.
@autoseedsman,
it was like 1-3 euro depending on where you looked
got this one free from Oaseeds years ago, it just sat unused in the vault
but now having seen her perform will be buying a a few as back ups and easy runs
has this hydro store got a link yet?
