BAM!
The week of topping! 😝
The girls are doing fantastic.... and I mean fantastic!
Their leaves are a nice green colour with little to no imperfections 💪. They're now drinking 500ml of water every 2-3 days.
You can start to see the 5th nodes... and I plan on doing a mainline.... so it's chop chop time at the 3rd node. Check out those fine ass pics up where the pics are...😂
I never had any luck cloning tops... except for 1... but I never give up! I have tried all the different methods, but going to give the mineral wool a try again.... I also like to use honey as a hormone agent. I always clean my tools with 99% isopropyl alcohol before cutting into the girls.
I try to give about 2-3 days to recover before I start cleaning up the bottom.... unless I'm still going for clones😎. If there is arms not growing fast enough... I'll start clipping 😂.
Next week will be a fun one 😁.
Stay tuned and stay stoned!
@Blacklisted, In my past grows, I had more larf (small buds, popcorn buds) then I wanted. After alot of research of different training methods, and from my own experiences... I believe by removing the larf within the first 3-4 weeks of flower, that it will direct all the growing energy towards the tops... whether it be the main colas or the satellite arms. That way, you end up with bigger and tighter nugs.
In previous grows, if I removed the larf, I usually snipped the fans leaves as well. This time, I'm leaving them to help with the shock and to have more area for light absorption. I will remove any big leaves if they are in the way of buds growing and if I need better air flow.
This is my first test with this type of training to see if it truly works.
Happy Growing!😁
