Gelat.OG Simple Grow

- I added silicate to the feeding regime this week as I had heard on a few podcasts it's good to boost strength in the plants stems, starting out slow with it - By weeks end I could definitely see some more rigidity in the main stalks of the plant but this could just be from natural growth - The T5 LED I use for vegging my plants has 2 bulbs, one is a white spectrum and one is a blue spectrum - The combination of LEDs keeps the plants growing short and stout as you can see in the final image above - I picked up a book called "Organic Marijuana Some Style" recently and after reading it decided I wanted to try supercropping - The book is slightly dated but loaded with some pretty useful information that has opened my mind to some different styles of growing - Supercropping is a way to boost plant vigor and mainly in the side branching while maintaining a reasonable height and will fit in perfectly for my grow space due to the fact I have a slight height limitation - In the past I have implemented Main Lining or Manifold training but want to branch out and try different methods by keeping it simple with this grow in order to continue learning - My plan is to bend the main stalk (90 degrees) instead of topping (removing the top of the stalk completely) and letting it heal and continue growing - First time trying this so it will be a fun experiment for me - Plant showed some good vigor in the first few days of week 3 and became almost root bound by weeks end - Transplanted to 5 gal fabric pots near the end of the week (V20) - The GOG in my tent is kicking my other plants but it growth rates! This is a super vigorous strain from what I've seen so far and I'm excited for this one - Run off EC is showing 1350 EC and input is about 1220 EC so she's in a good place - Really going to try to avoid over feeding on this run as most of my plants from past grows have showed burnt tips so I'm definitely going to try to avoid that in the "simple" grow.. we'll see if I can pull it off!
