ATU'S MAINLINE (grow 13)

[MeEasy]

I wasn't asking to compare our plants that's not what I'm here for. I wanted to compare your two boxes to see the difference in the ones you had to supercrop and the ones you didn't.

SoOrbudgal I don't see it as abuse or harsh; when a stem gets bent, the plant grows on because they are built to withstand that kind of occurance. You see how they form a strong knuckle where they are bent; they know exactly what to do in order to protect themselves. I'd say the average Cannabis plant is far smarter than many folks I know....

MeEasy I don't expect my yield to be record-breaking, but I will definitely post final harvest weights. I bet you have 4 times what I have in my cramped boxes... I sure wish I had that kind of room.... Maybe when I retire...

[alltatup]

SoOrbudgal I'd say "water bottle" is a slight exaggeration of their size!!! It's impossible for me to get good shots of what it looks like inside the boxes. But they did indeed do their thing!!! I'm proud of them. Good girls.

300% would scare me. You could call it the no room in a hurry method. Great looking tops in spite of the stretch.

[PLreef]

Holy stretching batman. Love it

[SoOrbudgal]

It may be harsh i know ATU is a loving caring grower, but abuse or harming is a way i've used in many weed grows. It's a harsh way of forcing energy survival mode inside the plant, it's not "kind" so it's not mentioned much but it's used more than you know.

[MeEasy]

That looks like it was quite the pain in the ass but it turned out beautiful. I'd like to know your weights it looks like the crazy ones got fatter and it's probably because you had to abuse them to keep it out of the lights. The king ot north I have going stretched pretty good but not like yours. They all look great nice n frosty great job saving the grow 👍

[SoOrbudgal]

Well ATU it's a real treat seeing how you manage these boxes. I get how you didn't feel you managed the plants stretch abilities but i don't know how you could of done it better?? I see some excellent top colas that look to be better with the super cropping done to them. They look heavy really heavy water bottle size from here. Every good grower has post thoughts on how they could of done it better, i think they look fantastic for the grow box you got tall strains that enjoyed your care they saw some room and took off. I truly dig that bending it's the only way to go, they look beautiful tangled or not.

Those are some impressive looking buds!

THE PAST MONTH: Sorry I haven't updated, but here's what happened since Jan. 24.

Feb. 11:

The box on the right was very hard to keep control of; I didn't, as a matter of fact. All three plants stretched 300%, and it became impossible to keep the colas separate from each other. Both boxes had a 56 day veg period from germination, and one box went nuts when I flipped them to flower.

Feb 28:


Box on left is very frosty and took best advantage of the light.



Box on left is flushing this week; many cloudy trichomes, but I'm waiting to see those heads bulge...

[alltatup]

Very nice, GS! On my next grow, I want to grow the mainline out farther, have a longer horizontal base like yours.

[alltatup]

400 watts each.

[SoOrbudgal]

LOL good 1@GreenState

[GreenState]

[SoOrbudgal]
