Day 49 : Did a bit of defoliation on the center of the plant. (removed 3 leaves) to allow "Nodes 1 -> Nodes 1" to receive light. Also removed the 2 bottom leaves that wasn't receiving light anymore, and that got yellow. Adjusting LST.
Day 50 : Watering and feeding! 1L. She had no feeding for ~10 days, because I did a flush last week to fix a PH issue. So I'm back on feeding schedule now.
Day 52 : The plant looking verry good. I notice the pot is getting lighter faster than before, that is a good sign π Every branchs seems to grow at the same speed... And It's actually a damn node Heaven π There is so much new growth everywhere...
I was planning to start flowering in 2 weeks, I think she will be 200% ready for that!
Day 53 : Found some nymph thrips. I'll get some black soap tomorrow and spray the plant. I spent like 15 minutes checking plant, don't found a lot... maybe 5. So it's definitly easy to stop if I act right now.
Day 54 : Got black soap. Sprayed 3 times. 1st time with only water. And then 2 times with black soap water.
Day 55 : Can't find any thrips. But they are still ready to get back, so I'll continue to spray time to time until flowering. Plant had 3 hours of outdoor sun today (reaching 18.5Β°C in the shadow).
Day 56 : Can't find any thrips, but sprayed with black soap again. NO PASARAN Thrips !!!! πππ»
Hi there!
If you are mainlining then you should remove the lower branches now too. If you plan on removing them I suggest that you take the lower branches off at the same time you top your plant. I think it's better to do one bigger stress than keep stressing her little by litle all the time
Happy growing!
@StunFlower, Thanks :) π I believe the key for success is just, spending time on it, and placing the string at the right place.
At some point it become instinctive.
@DreamOn, Thanks dude :) I appreciate ^^
It's the first time I'm doing Main-lining. I can't really estimate how great this gonna make the harvest...
BUT it's definitly a good and sexy looking plant :) I love how symmetrical it is !
@Greatgrowman, Well dude, the only thing I can say is it works :D I never tried any other brand.
It's easy to use, and since it's organic, it seems verry difficult to overfeed your plants.
I'm going to try the biobizz "leaf coat" this week. This is a foliar spray, made with latex and water.
I applied the "Fish-mix" as a spray yesterday on the leaves, and the plant REALLY loved it.
So... Good product line to me. But i can't compare it with anything else ^^
Good luck with your grape ape :)
Hey mate, just like the most say, i totally agree, your training has developed a very nice plant, almost efficient like math calculation ;)
Great work mate
