I've started this diary a little late but all ready to roll now.
I do nothing out of the ordinary for germination just wet kitchen roll in a ziplock back like a goldfish. Once popped they go straight into the coco with a solid dose of Katana Roots.
Once up it goes like this...
1 - Veg straight up to 6th node in 8 inch pot.
2 - Top down to the best node/ pair of branches on offer, save all prunings for cuts.
3 - Repot to final pot (8ltr tall square) positioning the chosen node level with the pot top, across which is fixed an 80cm cane. Engage each branch L/R on to it.
4 - Veg until each branch is near the end of the cane. From each pair of flower sites select the sturdiest and prune away the other for cuts. Allow each branches main/top cola's to form, only removing small low down fluff if required.
5 - Veg/recover for a week then into flower.
This method gives me a dead straight plant with a mohican of flowers, between 8 - 11 usually, that sits within the dimensions of the pot enabling pot to pot growing as if rows in a net. Because of the proximity I squeezed the biggest fan I could into my space to give bags of air movement within and around the tightly packed plants. Would prefer more space but I'm doing all I can to moderate it.
See you next week๐
