Those unexpected genetics can be a blessing or a challenge .
You are right about that. I think they are starting to pick up the pace now. It looks like they just weren't taking too well to the whole topping thing. They grew a good amount this past week. Im gonna go ahead and top the smaller girls next week.If they're growing slow topping them slows them down more. I'd let them grow without topping.
I find seed companies tell you a story about genetics which doesn't always match what the plant tells you. The "small" hints that maybe you have genetics you didn't expect
Thanks!They look great.....lots a times,.I don't like or comment on pages/threads.....it gets overwhelming with notifications.....some deal, some dont.....but they do look good....any questions, someone will be along to help.....
II'm wondering if I should scrog these gals or not? I've never done it so I'm wondering if its worth it and how to approach it. Could I just let them go how they are? They already have a decent amount of tops it seems like. Should I just top them one more time and keep pulling down all the side branches? What are the benefits vs downsides of a scrog vs a regular topping and lst. Any help would be appreciated. Oh yea. Plants are looking nice. Couple more days and the little ones will be put in a separate space. Other than that all is well id say.
Thanks!
Hey chi.......to answer your questions, in no particular order.....
Time....how long do you want to wait to flip to flower?
Space....plants do almost double or triple in size after the flip.....
Mobility......everytime in mid flower I say I'm going to run a screen of some sort.....I've yet to because of the fact that if they were netted or scrogged, I wouldn't be able to move them......that isn't my grow style.....
Shorter veg means faster turnaround, but yield would suffer.......there is more to this, but let's keep it simple......
Yes, you can now or you could train and veg longer.....
After thinking it through, I think I'm gonna pass on the scrog net. I think this would be better suited for a single plant grow or a few of the same cloned phenos. Its a lot easier to control three plants that have the same growth pattern. Im not sure what these are going to do in flower as I have never grown them before. I also don't like the idea of not being able to access the plants in the back of my tent when necessary. Being able to take them out is definately a plus. Especially when performing maintenance and cleaning. I can always use bamboo sticks or hemp string to hold up buds if necessary. Im going to continue tying down the branches and maybe topping the main shoots again. Id like to veg for another couple weeks max. At that point the plants should be exactly how I want them. They are really short and wide at this point. I don't even think they are a foot tall. Its been almost three weeks since I transplanted into 5 gallon pots with straight FFOF. I want to be able to use the Gaia green dry amendments and earthworm castings I have for flower. Im thinking the best way to go about it is to veg them until they start showing slight signs of hunger. Hit them with regular doses of the liquid General Organics I have for an instant feed. Level them off nicely for a few days and top dress with gaia 444 and 284 like a week before flipping to flower. I think this would be the best way to go about it and have more control of the nutrients. I hope I explained it properly. Its my first run with the Gaia.. I've been using liquids General Organics until now. I don't know how many weeks of food is in that FFOF since repotting. Its been damn hot. Thats why I dont want to fuck this up.
