Day 22. Girls loved LST and now its absolute single bush ;)))
Hope they will start stretching a bit otherwise i will have soccer ball size one nugs instead of plant ;)))
In plans new wave of heavy training on thursday and feed.
Ordered new fans, old ones tend to die in a year of heavy work, theirs speed reduces a lot ...
Morning / evening showers and thats all my attention...
Can't tuck leaves, can't spread them yet, but hopefully next week all pot space will be taken.
Kushes are behind, they will be fimed or toped.
My LST style allows new branches to stretch up a bit and on second day i release leaves from prison, despite being lifted from soil, they touch each other and sweat, that brings static moist - highway to mold problems. But on first LST training i touch, bend them a lot, target to free up and expose all branches to light, at this time main top usually lowest. Wash your hands and do it before watering .
If you need you can twist stem left or right, to find best position for easy tucking, if you can't - sometimes view leaves has to fall ...
Day 24. Heavy training straight before night, hope to make everything :
1. New floor fans
2. New air fans
3. Heavy wave of LST and pot management
4. Watering.
All done !
Had no time to make photos, but girls got tie supports around pots, loads of tucking, few soft wires and loads of showers, they will be fed tomorrow ..
Don't forget its day 20-22 from first sign of life, both main strains grow amazing and super compact.
Kushes a bit struggling, they didn't enjoy 6.0 watering and i think light and humidity is way of range for younger plants... plus sensitive to nutes ? But they fight and grow, will have to top them next week.
Day 25. I know sometimes it happens, but one of Cheeses was too fat and thick and snaped during night after heavy LST session. First time in my life, once i snaped myself, now pressure did the thing ...
Day 30. Work took me totally away from growing, have no time, just water them and spray twice a day. Tomorrow should be next LST training done. Will upload how they bushed out.
Happy growing !!!
@russrahl , if you would look at photo - its a totally snaped plant.
Like half answers here, it was given without looking whats happend. Trophy hunter syndrome ...
Have you ever tried the Leafcoat from Biobizz?
I had trips during veg. Not a lot, but still. I sprayed black soap and alternated with pure water. And after like a week of treatment, I applied Leafcoat.
And i haven't seen thrips since. I think it's working well.
I also have some carnivorous plant in my tent. Dionaea and Drosera.
I'm not sure if it's a really good thing. The Dionaea isn't probably helping for thrips, but I think that Drosera can work.
But those plants require to keep the soil always moist, so it can be a problem... So I'm not sure about the risk-benefit of it...
@PurpleWorship, no never had issues, so i didn't checked that part of biobizz range ;))) guess left doors too long open with lights on in eve, sometimes fresh air brings troubles...
Looks like second wave of my treatment helped, will do one more round just in case, will check Leafcoate for future. Thanks !
@Sweet_Seeds, look at last two Cheeses, they are on day 15-16 since saw first light ... You just can't grow your plants normally - they are out of control !!! Too big !!! ;)))) No LST for them without toping and i think even that won't help, they will overgrow my tent with such rhythm ;))))
I struggled only with Kushes, in some diaries i saw, that people where escaping almost without any nutes ...
Future will show.
@AsNoriu, You have to grow them like any other Photoperiod-Dependent. The only difference is that they have a faster flowering period.
Sweet smokes,
-Apolo
@smoking_hills9, it went a bit out of control. Kushes late start and different tactics don't work with the rest of grow, will have to play chess again ..
Will move Kushes to my dry room, they will finish there. And here will put 3 autos to use that space a bit .
@Sweet_Seeds, hey Apollo , you ow me ;))) we agreed on one diary, but your plants are above everything i have expected .... my tent too small ;)))
Moved Kushes to other place, they have theirs own diary now.
@Ferenc, i overtried my indoor flowered Royal Gorilla, in bits ;)))
will do LST early in the morning ;)))))
But Yes, girls grow very indica type and solid, want to flatten them a lot now ...
@Smokwiri, You are too kind for this grow, healthy leaves are key point and in this grow i trimed them most in all my life , after this they had two waves of heavy damage caused by thrips and later sulphur deficiency caused by dodgy molasses.
I always moan before harvest, but this "cry" won't have happy ending as i usually escaped... 2 ounces on average my prediction and its sad ... ;)))
Good luck in Yours !
@EXZELENS, make it, approach Apolo, he is fantastic guy. I will try to regrow this house without mistakes. Still my Killer Kush is my best weed that i ever grew by taste.
@AsNoriu, I'm a little rude to him, because he obviously likes and follows his own grows. I don't like people like him but decided to help him anyways. 🤣 I'm a friendly guy but sometimes i have to tell people the truth. Its a bad habit I know.
@@ShotGunBob, good and i accept all advices, even rude ones ;)))
Your runs are the ones to show, i grow mass ;)))
Limited to electric, space, but went long path to find how, if i ever made it ;))))
@Chedderbob112, if you will plan to have more Kushes, thats the one to try out in one of the soonest grow. Honestly i hate to choose champ/fav/best, but she is in my top 3 4sure !!! ;)))))
