      Defoliation and took a few branches to see if I could clone them after them having started to flower. Not much left to do but feed from here on out!

        I like doing the training, but I also like not having to worry about it as the grow progresses lol. Looking great man!

      Hope your cloning goes well. I had several clones make it from a photo plant a few weeks into flower so it does work.
      Took a while to get roots but they worked.

        Did you get that weird leaf growth as they "re-vegged"? (smooth leaves or tri-leaf fan leaves and that stuff?)

        For some reason mine did not get the smooth leaves even though I potted them after rooting and set the lights to 18/6. The pistils were always present for several months as I kept them for mother plants but eventually decided to flower them on 12/12 and they exploded into flowering. Had a decent harvest as a result.

      It is officially autumn. (in a 4x4 corner of the universe)

          Thanks Johnny. The folks that post to share their knowledge in the forum and the GWE site are the reason for the great growing. It is like catapulting into the future because of the predictability of outcomes it brings. Crowdsourcing knowledge is the only way to go (and not just in growing!)

          Love this place :-)

          Agree billyboy, Shared my recent grows with a large handful of people and the reaction has been all very good, with comments like you grew this?? Can you spare some? Much better then retail. The forum members have helped me every step and the journey continues.

        Almost forgot my furry helpers - Although the big guy is under the weather with a bad shoulder and a limp. He'll be OK if he can slow down a bit and let it heal.

          Good morning to you and your great looking weed garden outstanding work there. Our neighbors doggy just had surgery for a bone chip in his shoulder caused a limp on occasion and i'm sure pain. Just like you " try and keep them down to heal" hard to do LOL he's so sweet looking poor boy. Like all athletes who give it there all the old arthritics put us down in time, slowing them down is so hard.

        Summer garden is coming and the extra help will be a bonus so we added this to the collection

          gotta love those puppy teeth. Our current dog we nicknamed the raptor as she shredded everything in site including us in her 1st year. Yup, she's a biter.

          I’m curious to know which method worked best to me it seemed the quadlined has more, bigger buds wonder if quality will be the tie breaker though?

          All things being equal (and with a tiny sample) the Quad outgrew the Manifold. Still drying the other Manifold and will post her too. But the Manifold was easier to grow. Easier to train. So I have two hypothesis; (1) That the the way to optimize a 4x4X6.5, with 600w to 750w is - Six plants properly grown with a manifold to get every watt in the sweet spot OR (2) That the the way to optimize a 4x4X6.5, with 600w to 750w is - Four pants properly grown with a Quadline to get every watt in sweet spot.

          I have not decided which way works best for me yet - So next grow will be six plants, trained with a manifold grow. The grow after will be four plants in a quadline grow. (yes I am a geek and like measures and numbers)

          Took some pics while sheltering in place. Wanted to see when the harvest window will be open. Not quite yet but they are getting pretty.

            I am in Tech and had to drive to New Jersey to convert a 200 person office to "working from home" over the weekend. Issued around 120 laptops since 8AM. Today the Governor declared that all retail would be closed, starting at 9PM tonight, "indefinitely".

            Nothing like a little pressure to take your mind off the grow :-)

          #29
          In the anticipation phase. More yo-yos! Started the flush, with some clean PH'd water for a few days (the Cha-ching gave me some extra tip-burn) and now going for two weeks of molasses (1 tsp/gal) and some CalMag (3ml/gal). They are looking and smelling great. Still drinking at the same rate so they seem to be still growing at the same pace.

          I think that quadline has the fattest buds but will do a wet and dry weight per plant.

          Guessing between the 5th and the 11th for harvest but will let the amber under the microscope decide exactly when.

          Going to be a plentiful harvest. Time to start exercising those trimming fingers.
