Week 6 Report: White OG ā Shaping Her Future š
Weāre at Week 6 of veg, and the White OG is thriving like a superstar! This week, I decided to take her structure to the next level by topping a few branches, and let me tell youāsheās loving it. šæ The growth is vigorous, and sheās shaping up beautifully to maximize her potential for flowering.
Letās dive into what went down this week and why itās all so important for her journey.
Branch Topping: Building a Strong Framework
After recovering beautifully from her initial topping at node 7, it was time to refine her structure further by topping a few branches. For each branch, I left two nodes to ensure strong, healthy growth while encouraging a bushier canopy.
Why Top Branches?
Topping isnāt just for the main stemāitās an essential technique for creating an even canopy and increasing yield potential:
1. Encourages Lateral Growth: By removing the top of a branch, the plant redirects its energy into the remaining nodes, encouraging side shoots to grow and fill out.
2. Maximizes Light Penetration: A bushier plant with more branches ensures that all parts of the plant get access to light, reducing shading and improving photosynthesis.
3. Improves Structure: A strong, evenly distributed framework sets the stage for a healthier plant that can support larger buds during flowering.
The decision to leave two nodes per topped branch ensures a balance between promoting growth and avoiding unnecessary stress.
Tent Conditions: Consistency is Key
The room conditions this week have remained steady and perfect for her vegetative stage:
⢠Temperature: Around 18°Cācool but manageable, keeping her growth steady.
⢠Humidity: At 60%, maintaining just the right level to support her root zone and foliage.
⢠Lighting: The Future of Grow (FOG) LED at 200 PPFD continues to provide optimal light for compact, strong growth. i will dim it up soon!
These consistent conditions give her the environment she needs to recover quickly from topping and focus on building her structure.
Nutrient Routine: Trusting the Pellets
This week, Iāve continued with the Aptus Holland All-in-One Pellets as the primary nutrient source. Theyāre working their magic, providing a steady release of nutrients to support her vigorous growth.
As a backup plan, Iām always ready to reintroduce All-in-One Liquid if she starts showing signs of needing more immediate nutrition. For now, sheās thriving, and the pellets are doing an excellent job of meeting her needs.
Training and Future Plans
Topping a few branches this week was just the beginning. Iām planning to continue topping over the next few weeks to shape her into a bushy, evenly distributed plant. By focusing on creating a strong structure now, sheāll be perfectly prepared for explosive growth when we flip her into flowering.
Looking Ahead: Growth on Overdrive š
As Week 7 approaches, Iāll be monitoring how she responds to the additional topping and ensuring her environment stays consistent. The goal is to encourage her lateral growth while keeping her stress levels low and her energy focused.
