Alltatup's horizontal grow!!

[alltatup]

Hello old friends, newbies, tokers, midnight smokers, and whoever else is here:

This is what I've been doing for the past year: perfecting the art of the HORIZONTAL GROW. I grow in a couple of BCNL grow boxes with LED Cobbs. I'm in my sixth year of growing the Goddess.

Each grower has to discover what works best for their given environment and their own needs. Obviously, I'm not going for the biggest harvest I can get; I'm going for the best bud I can grow. I'm delighted with the results. Some people may call me decadent and wasteful; others may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I know how I like my bud. So here goes.

I mainline my plants:

My grow boxes have 36" vertical space, so I veg them until they are slightly too tall for my box--to around14" height. When I flip to flower, they usually increase in height between 200-300% from a good strong veg period, then I super-crop the colas so they continue growing horizontally.

Flower week 3 before and after defoliation. Then, I train, attach to walls and ceiling as needed.

The buds get huge, and heavy with child.

Harvest and cured bud.

Questions? Comments? Complaints? Observations? Ya gotta do something during covid, so it might as well be fun as heck!!!!!

Looks good. What's your average yield per run and how long each run?

Good Morning ATU its been awhile ,you do grow some amazing plants giving your height restrictions and watching your grows is always fun .we are in the middle of a blizzard here about 6 inches so far with no end in sight. Have a great day

Nice work Tats. It's amazing what a little well timed abuse can do.

 

[BR2K]

Wow!!!! Absolutely freakin' amazing!!!!!! So, how old were the spinsters before they got chopped?

 

[RagWeedDWC]

Taking notes!

 

[BU2B]

Welcome Back! Your beauties and the bc box are a great way to start the day!

 

[alltatup]

Hi G2f, The last harvest was 11 oz between the two boxes. Veg is around 7 weeks and flower 9-10 wks.

 

[alltatup]

OJH, good to see your smiling parrot picture!!! Yeah, the height restrictions suck, but I chose my path: I wanted stealth, lockability and moveability, and the boxes give me that. Don't shovel too much snow!! It's 80 degrees here... I'm pissed cuz I can't use my wood stove.

 

[alltatup]

Howdy Primo!!! Now, I wouldn't say "abuse": I'd say I do cannabis yoga with them.

The Goddesses, free from all the restraints of married life, were well into week 10 of flower when I harvested.

AFGOO HARVEST: This is the start of week 10, she's been flushing for a while:

Great to see you have been spending your time well. very nice grows :laugh:
Here in Alberta, Canada we are out of almost all covid restrictions and our freedom convoy basically won the day. Hooray for the blue collar heroes.
Cheers !

Brilliant alltatup, and a story well told.

Question, what was your yield per plant? (If it's not rude to ask...)

 

[alltatup]

grouchyoldman I'm drying the harvest now, and I'm thinking it will be around 6 oz. With my limited space, I don't produce huge yields. When it's dry, I'll post the amount, for sure.

Nice mainlining, impressive grow. I am wondering, what breed of cat is that for your avatar, is it your pet?

 

[alltatup]

Ckbrew That's an ocelot. I should be so lucky to have one!!! Thanks for stopping by!

 

[JohnEmad]

witnessed an ocelot attack a stranger entering the owners motor home unannounced. No real damage but taught them a good lesson. I would love a cat like that as a pet but they are probably best left in their wild habitat if it doesn't disappear.

 

[RagWeedDWC]

Wowzer!

 

[alltatup]

@groucholdman Sorry this is a bit late: I harvested 7 oz out of box number 1. Not the biggest amount, but it's all heavenly top bud.
