Scarlet Grapes STANDALONE...journal?

Great looking canopy are you putting a net up? Do they do that with autos? Any way you do it those are just beautiful .

[Blowdout2269]

As of today they've been spread out and are likely in their final positions. The other two lights have been fired up and positioned accordingly. The SF is at 28-29" from canopy at 90% power and the outer boards are at 27-28 @ 100%.

DAY 30
Time for a photo op! Pics taken after training this evening.


Ok, a few couple of these gals have proven to be quite bushy and unruly. It also appears that I completely forgot to tuck # 5 lol.
😲

[Blowdout2269]

Ok, yes. Gotta admit my fault here. They definitely appreciated a lot more water, lmao. Rookie mistake!
👍

[dirtymike]

I notice you like to bend them over when their real young.

[Blowdout2269]

I topped this one just above the fourth? I think.
Idk. And they get bent over way young when not topping.
Check out the first or second post. 🤔

[dirtymike]

How many nodes do you wait for till you top and torture (LST)

Here's a better look at 8 from yesterday Going2fast

Day 29 here budgal. Thank you for the compliment! 🙂

I'm definitely testing my tucking skills to the max this run! By now I've normally done a decent amount of defoliation and/or lollypoping on previous autos. I have removed ONE unruly and absurdly large leaf. I really have to practice restraint because leaves in the dirt bothers me, and these are bent down so close to the soil. I actually had to make more tie downs for the first time in years!
Pictures attached. 😜

Ya know G2f, I think # 8 has responded extremely well to the topping and is the most uniform and equal growth plant in the bunch. I'm also quite interested to see how she looks after the stretch. This might be something I do again. 👍



Yes, that's a gallon jug.

[Going2fast]

Looking good brocomotive. That's what I want to see. As long as I didn't break a branch I've never encountered one that stressed due to bending and

tucking. Very interested to see how number 8 does being she got topped. Only see one other smaller.

[SoOrbudgal]

Geeze yours are really in good shape LOL. Today is day 60 for mine.

[Blowdout2269]

That's the plan SoOrbudgal. Though I don't want to slow them down. But alas...this is about ten hours after last nights extreme LST...I don't think they mind.


Going2fast, this picture is not cropped.
I can still remove some framework from the front if I have to. Which I might! Lol.
😉

[SoOrbudgal]

Well those sure look great to me no kidding. Well done with all the twisting and tying down good looking and getting ready to blast into bud orbit Your going to get a much better yield for doing all that work.

[Blowdout2269]

The other lights and remaining space are prepared to be used at any time!
😉

[Blowdout2269]

Actually, I'm only using half of the space so far.
I've just been keeping them tight together under the new light. I'm sure it won't last!
