So this week I have come to the conclusion my plant stalled a bit during the flip to flowering. Instead of producing buds the first few weeks it just stretched like crazy. Now it is staying at a singular height and buds are forming nice now. One thing I noticed is my Orange Cookies is producing significantly less than my Wedding Cake. To help balance this a little bit I decided to go through a pruning session. I went underneath the canopy and pruned away any immature growth nodes not receiving light. Hopefully this will go a good job at sending those much needed nutrients upwards to the top colas and increase my yield a bit. Due to the long stretching period I may add a few weeks of flowering on here depending on if they are ready to harvest or not. I'll keep an eye on the pistils and trichomes to double check when they are ripe and ready to chop down. Hopefully they don't finish too early and I can make up that time lose from the beginning of the flip. Sorry for lack of updates, I've been super busy with work, plus I try to not overcheck my plants during this time. I start chopping things away and if I spend too much time around the plants I'll get carried away. Updates coming of course.
@@voidrealmz, I will go have a look on ur previous, its an interesting concept, im all for giving it a go. Get another grow or 2 out the way and I will give it a go myself I reakon. Will go have a look now, appreciate the reply ๐ as always happy growing buddy
@Syrunz, It's just a simple mainline technique, however it's a variant, thus the name Nebula Mainline (or Manifold). I prefer it to other topping methods due to how uniform and manageable the plant comes out to be. It's said to increase yield (like most other tops) as well as save a ton of trimming time towards the end. I did it in my previous journal if you would like an example, but there's lots of sucker branches left on those plants.
