Hi fellow growers,
I started some LST this week as part of the main-lining process. I unfortunately pulled a bit too much when I wanted to adjust the branches more horizontally, which resulted in a little scratch that I only noticed the next day. Hopefully it won't affect her too much in the long run although it must have added some stress.
Overall is the plant growing quite well I find. I watered her two times this week. The temperature is around 22 C during the day, which is reasonable to me (it's getting colder here and I'm already warming the room where she is just for her ;) ).
Hopefully we can do the last cut during this week to get to the 8 main branches. I'm gonna wait until both branches have 4-5 nodes then cut above the third node. Then I keep nodes number 1 and 3 on both and that's it, the main-lining will finally be on its way.
If you have done main-lining before, let me know in the comments what you think of the current stage :)
If you have questions or tips, let me know too!
Take care everyone and see you next week!
@Frenchie, last two very important pence . Those actions in flower should be done in intervals offered by pioneers of defoliation.
Week 3 , when you take down leaves, plant gives all his power to restoring lost capacity, bud should be formed at this time already, so he gets part of that power, future fan leaves are straight under or even in it if its higher colas.
Week 5-6 , depending on how long you will go. Again, forces plants to take actions, just this time he gives all power straight to bud, trying to create next generations. Both waves are risky with weak genetics, could force to go hermie as last resort to finish plants purpose - create bigger buds with more seeds.
With RQS Cookies i had hermie part, its unfun at all.
@AsNoriu, thanks for the advices. I'll see how it looks during week 5 and 6 of flowering and see if further actions seem necessary. I'll have a look at the guys you mentioned too 👌
@Frenchie, wrote a comment and deleted it ;))
So. I liked your plant and you do similar actions to my grows, thats why i am here .
I do heavy lst on week 3 of veg, till week 5 i don't take more than one leave away(my lst forces me to cut one leave 90% of time), but on week 5 i clear them a lot, then 5 days before flower more leaves fall.
In flower again week 3 is heaviest damage ever : my target is what you did, and later on week 5-6 of flower i take down badly formed lower buds and defoliate them for last time.
Green Genes Garden , Miami Mango, Grand Master Level and Shwazzing was my main teachers , now i try to go further and adapt what they noticed in smaller range, where you pay attention to every plant personally, not mass actions.
@horsemouth, glad to hear that man, I was really surprised too. The first place, the guy definitely put some effort to it but the third... 😅 The jury was definitely high 😂
