Here is the update, I’m on the fence about cutting off this tiny branch or leave it

Love how you just bring plants to life from near death. Lol looks great. My wife said you're a plant whisperer when I showed her this and your bugs and root rot post. I'm sure your decision will be a good one.

 

[Deadhead91]

Thank you so much call me the ganja plant doctor lol, but I really just spend all my time reading about growing and paying close attention to the plant, I really wish I had the money to start a licensed grow op or at least have the proper equipment to really do this right.

So I’ve done 2 full feeds so far starting at week 3, I’ve also have done 3 foliar feeds up to date with just the black market revolution and water, I mixed in 1.5ml to 24oz of water and is perfect. There are no more burn or problem areas think of letting this one get a little taller before the switch this time

 

[Deadhead91]

Idk how I’ll get the dirt to stay in a sideways pot lol

 

[Deadhead91]

Third feed is tonight and I’ll try to get some pics up and some good ones hopefully, I tried posting a 4K video I did off my phone but it exceeded the max limit to upload so I’ll do a video and try to screenshot and load it that way, hopefully it works. Also btw iPhones take better videos then pics if you change the settings

So here is 2 questions for everyone should I try to tie it down some more to let some of the lower stuff catch up a little bit more or just keep doing what I’m doing?
Also I’ve been wondering the closer I keep the light does it stretch less to get closer nodes to have more packed nugs that make a giant cola instead of a bunch of mini nugs or does that come down to genetics or both?
I want know the exact secret steps to getting giant colas lol. I feel like I’m missing a step or misunderstood something somewhere

 

[Deadhead91]

Sorry for the delay been busy but took these today for everyone

I think you will be ok deadhead just keep pulling the side branches out and topping the main so they can catch up, and the secret to big colas is unstressed plants and time

 

[Deadhead91]

That is exactly what I did pulled them all down a little bit more

 

[Deadhead91]

Almost all caught up

 

[Chefbjy]

Nice you decided to keep the branch 😆

 

[Deadhead91]

Oh no that one I ripped off it never got past where I defoliated the plant that really long one did finally catch up though and so did the others one got ripped and one I tied up against the stem a little bit to reach the canopy and used my yo-yo lifters to manipulate the plant just right with the combo of tieing it down, still got it under 24/7 except when I feed it and foliar spray it

 

[Deadhead91]

So I’m going to do week 3 and 4 again and start the 18/6 light cycle and switch to 12/12 flowering like on the chart after those 2feeds and flush

 

[Deadhead91]

I feel like it’s where I want it to be to start the switch over and super excited cause it’s already as big as the last plant at harvesting time lol

 

[Deadhead91]

Stoked to say I’m adding to my room and nutrient line up

 

[Deadhead91]

Sorry I haven’t been posting much everyone my health has deteriorated some so I’ve been trying to get it back under control and manageable, but
Happy Easter Everyone!!!

 

[Deadhead91]

I’ll post some pics in a little bit and anyone willing to help with this defoliation the plant just switched to bloom on Friday and was smelly before and now it’s like walking into a brick wall in the mornings I love it but back to what I saying I did a really light defoliant in veg where I cleaned the shaded lower levels and cleaned up the huge fan leaves but now im not sure what to defoliate to not hurt the yield so should I take off a bunch of fan leaves at this point then clean up the covered shaded areas again?

 

[Deadhead91]

It’s growing an inch a day and is at about 2 to 3ft tall now so it’s as big as the last one if not a little bigger already and I can tell I’m getting the colas I want with close nodes hehehehehe I feel like a kid in a candy store right now

 

[Deadhead91]

Oh one other thing my leafs have been sweating I guess is the term and I think my light my drip too. So there will be water in between a few leaves but they do not touch and then there will be like a couple drops on the top leaves should I be concerned and I figure the defoliant will help
