Stalk slicing
Sikkkastarted grow question 2y ago
What do you think about stalk slicing? Any chances of dying or becoming a hermie in that one two weeks? The method makes logic, but would you stab your babies or its too much risk.

I know old school growers that swear by slicing stems and or super cropping etc … it’s extreme and I struggle to treat the girls so harshly when I love them but I’ve tried it out a few times and those buds did seem stickier at the time but after drying and curing there was no real difference. Play around with it but it’s only from conducting these experiments ourselves that we learn .

this makes no logical sense and you'd need a serious sample size to prove any correlation of statistical significance.
2 weeks is long enough for sex organs to form... maybe borderline. think of how long preflowers take to form after flipping to 12/12 ... similar timeline. it definitely doesn't happen overnight and most grow/mature to produce viable pollen.
if it were a maple tree, i'd say this is a great idea. it is not.

Why do you top your plants?This isn’t really a question but I just wanted to show you guys the effectiveness of LST/HST. I did an 8 cola mainline last grow, so I’m very familiar with topping.
This is definitely a good method to achieve a topped canopy while reducing veg time:)

Bending branchI decided to bend the branch to form a bush.The stem was quite thick and when I bent it, I formed a large bend radius, but the next day I noticed that it took a sharp angle. How bad is it, and if it's bad, how to fix it? Thanks in advance🙏

When to start training, I've got 6 of the FFs from fastbuds. Looking for some ideas or suggestions on how to approach this run, hoping for a mega yielTraining advice. I've been doing autos for a while and I'm used to lst. This being my first fem run, I'm wanting to keep the height of these as uniform as can be, any tips on when I should start training them and any opinions/suggestions on things I can do to increase my yield.

HST tipsHi, my grow brothers and sisters!
I'm planning to do HST training to largest one of my plants, cos it is (to my joy) - too big. Other babies for, like, two times smaller now. I'll do this for the first time and I'm really nervous about it.
Any tips for me to do it right enoughWeek 4

Outdoor growers: fim/top?I want to make sure to clarify that this question is only for outdoor growers with a photoperiod limited solely by the nature of the changing seasons.
Should I even bother with fim/topping? Is the juice worth the squeeze? Let me know your thoughts, or even better, resultsSetup. Outdoor

How can I make this better?How do my ladies look? They are on day 1 of week 6. I would like these plants to fill my 4x4 tent. My question is how much longer before you would flip? Also what are your options on LST, Super cropping, Lollipoping or any other ideas on how to improve quality and quantity.
