my last grow I used something called the Bowl method or Stadium method of training. This is where you top the 6th node and take the remaining 5 branches and pull them out with wires in a circle shape, creating a bowl shape in the end. You then lolipop the center and concentrate on the colas, pulling them as needed to maintain equal height, resulting in 10 thick main colas with little fluff.
imma try again with 4 plants. 3x Dinamed CBD+ and 1x Royal Queen Critical
2.5 gallon fabric pots
Mega Crop at 1/2 strength
Cal-mag
SNS 604B (freebie)
Greeenleaf Bud Explosion at flower
Last time I grew one plant this way and was a bit too strong with the nutes. The plant also had a kink in the stem that helped me out keeping it low to the ground. I'll have to recreate this with wire so the main stem is short and all 10 colas are close to the same height.
I might also top the 7th node and clip the first as this one is usually smaller. I also flowered too soon resulting in a short plant. I'll want to give this one about 4.5 weeks in veg. stretch was only about a 2 factor. I harvested early when all or most trichomes were cloudy, a few clear and as few as possible amber. The idea is to get the most cloudy as this is where the CBD is most. In doing this I lost the last week of plump. I only got 2.8 ounces. I'll do the same this time but hopefully will have more height for yield.
This time I already have a challenge with the seedlings, which is usually my problem. I used roto rooters for the fist time and just dropped the seeds in the holes. They all grew upside down, roots straight up, leaves down inside the rooter. I had to right all of them, pulling them out and re-seating the roots into the rooter. They may not all make it. pretty stupid on my part, I should have used a paper towel to germ and dropped the seeds with sprout in afterward.
Anyway, I hope to improve the process. I'll post here when I can
