This is a little over a week after being topped. From about day 3 after topping is when I start with the soft ties. For this first week the same tie can be adjusted down the stem as needed.
Plant recovering well from being topped and flourishing again. Here I get rid of the first 2 sets of growth on each main stem and top everything after the 3rd node. I think in the future I’m going to leave some fan leaves for a couple days after topping and removing growth tips so it’s less of a shock to the plant.
Super proud of the way the manifold is turning out. So symmetrical!
Between now and the next update I’ll be doing some defoliating. Get rid of some of the lower fans, create some airflow up top, and possibly remove the lowest set of growth tips on each of my main stems.
Plant is flourishing and healthy but those leaves could maybe be more vibrant. Might be time to start introducing nutes to the reservoir.
Edit: Added a video of the plant after defoliating. Ended up removing the bottom 2 nodes of growth except for the outer fan leaf on the top one. Also moved the soft ties up one node and adjusted where they’re anchored so they pull the stems apart more. Can’t wait to see what she looks like in a week!
Wanted to learn to super crop this grow so went ahead and did the 4 main stems. I was blown away by how quickly she recovered. Such an amazing plant and the end result looks awesome!
Introduced nutrients to the autopot reservoir a week ago today.
In a couple days I’ll put up a net and start spreading things out. Maybe 2 weeks to start 12/12.
