- Main stem is just shooting up at every chance so she was supercropped at the start of the week
- Recovered in less than 24hrs, she's showing some real vigor
- Mid week I gave her a slight defoliation by starting to remove the growth from the bottom third of the plant
- In my particular growing environment the lower bud sites don't develop very well so I'm learning to remove those growth tips earlier in order to concentrate more growth to the top of the canopy
- Large fan leaves blocking lower branches were tucked down into the plant
- Used some LST to tie the lower branches to the top of the pot in order to get them to grow out and away from the branches above them, this is to prep the plant to grow it's colas with a little more space between them
- I've added a second fan as of last week and have noticed a big difference in the leaves of the plants, no more PM!
- At the very end of this week I decided to top the plant in a spot where it all the lower branches were at the same level
- Topping now will spread out the hormones and create a nice even bush when I flip to flower
- 1 more week of veg since I just topped her in order to let her recover, no training at all next week
- The next week will be a recovery week before the flip!
@Terpy_Sonic, download a book called "Organic Marijuana Soma Style"and give it a read. It's a quick read and in it he talks about plant training, among other things. It's a bit dated but I think the super cropping tutorial and explanation he gives will give you knowledge on another useful way to get more out of your plants. You should be able to locate the PDF online for free!
