Sunday 20th a.m. The vertical growth along the side branches has just gone nuts the last week. The plants are putting out and it’s time to move into Flower today with lights staying off till tomorrow.
The Nutrient plan is to continue and maximize Veg food for the next 2 weeks, then start transitioning veg food out and the bloom-makers in
when the Hairs start accumulating.
(~ 2-3 weeks into flower)
-With Veg coming to an end, Temp and Humidity levels will be dropping a bit each week in Flower.
Mon. p.m. 21st lites-on
-So many new bud sites on the plants when the lites came on. The vertical reach is obvious. Looking at the footprint of these plants, I am thinking the bamboo stakes might be the best bet vs a Scrog Net. The flattest plant I’ve been involved with.
“Stakes it is”
I’d rather have them climb something that will support them as they go. There’s going to be a bunch.
I have added a few shots of a simple use of Stakes from last Summer.
Stakes had a HUGE impact on how the plant grew.
Wed. Day 3 of Flower finds the super-cropped plants covered with new growth and leaves heading in all directions. While putting stakes in-place, it gave me a good chance to look at the structure, remove all previous tie-downs, and remove most of the problem leaves. Pruning was maybe a bit early, but the new growth was getting confusing. I will wait 3 weeks anyway to see what pruning needs done next. It can take hold of the stakes and there are many other branches that will be reaching up shortly. Now to be patient, let it reach and fill-in.
-increased water volume slightly (1 gal/ea) and am moving to 3 days between waterings.
Sat Dec 26; stakes have been added the last couple of days as these plants have exploded upwards. A week of flower and they are gonna put a show on. All seems to be really good.
Molasses gets added to tonight’s nutrients (every third) and the last Foliar will happen in the morning at lites-out.
That is a feeding technique that I had not tried before this grow. Used up till this last application, as recommended.
-adjusting branches to promote growth and spacing.
Understanding that it’s still early in the game, Is this an actual Pistil, to the right of the Stipules?
There does not appear to be an obvious Calyx... so is it too soon to call it a Female?
Heading into the last 2 weeks of Veg, are there any suggestions for things I should consider doing to help maximize this amazing grow so far.
First ever attempt at super-cropping, and it’s my 5th indoor project.
Never had such a low lush profile.
Looking forward to Flower
Probably not if the conditions are already perfect, you could always top, fim, suppercrop again, do some more lst, you can always do more and more stuff, but one guy will tell you it helps, another one will tell u its prejudicial. You can always defoliate a couple of healty leaves to trick the plant into thinking that producing leaves isn't a viable option and spends MORE energy (not all energy) into bud production instead of leaves. But then again its not scientifically proven, what is scientifically proven and increases thc production is use of Uv-B supplemental lighting and a drought period during later flowering.
Here, i will even post an article, you seem like you are interested in a good read:

They seem about all healty and perfect already.
good luck, and stay lit growmie.
Is it enough or should I add more?!
Famous questions for sure, but I am at a critical stage in a “best-yet” grow, and I want to make sure the plants are getting Enough Water. How do I make sure they are getting as Much as I can give them. Alternating between 2&3 day feeds
You can water your soil untill it is just about to see run off. You do not want any. I am also in 15gal container and a good watering is about 2gal. A deep watering help to assure that all the soil is moist. My ACE plants are a little bigger though... I water twice a week. Second watering is done 4 days later with about half quantity. Water uptake depends on RH, Temp, plant size, air circulation and stage of growth: not saying you should do a copy paste but it can help. Key is to no water again until soil is getting dry 3-4 inches on top and container is getting light, still before plant start to drop. Hope it helps!
Congratulations on taking the journey of growing an extreme sativa from Ace Seeds, she is known as Malawi Killer for a reason and when combined with the Panama Goddess, you are in for an out of world experience! Having grown this strain before, I can assure you, life will never be the same!
Just make sure you have 4-6 hours of no commitments before sampling any flowers!
Congratulations too at not being afraid of waiting so long for maturation, this plant is the one to give to any "expert" and to try and see if the "expert" really knows anything at all, also one to blow indica lovers out of the water with, they will never be quite the same again either.
However, DO NOT give this to any newbie or "lite" smoker, they WILL NOT cope!!
Cheers, Organoman.
@ORGANOMAN, talk about making my day. Thanks.
This grow has been a dream for a couple years now, and can only lead me further along the beauty of Landrace genetics.
Yep, I can call myself olde-Skool
Patience and a history of popcorn indoors is showing me I have put something together this time around.
I will keep you posted on these ladies. Thanks again !
Try and finish strong
