Breeder has stated flowering time at 50 to 55 days, she is at day 31.

Disclaimer: This is very aggressive defoliating and should not be done till you understand your plants ability, limitations and the Risk of damage.

Thanks for your interest.
 
Let's not forget how it all starts.

FCP-A CLONE, topped at the fourth

and how the training starts, just two clips and two ties. This is important to break the top colas dominancy, direct the two top growth tips sideways for symmetrical spacing, and allows the bottom growth to catch up to the top.

Little bit each time, learned that from you. LOL My Box plant mystery seed motel 6 has been trimmed twice and will need another soon. It's amazing how fast it fills in after you trim.
 
It has been two days from the last watering and first LST on this FCP Clone. She is already to be worked and watered again, this is were you need to move quickly and get the plant set up for its future shape.

After resetting the first two ties I Remove just two leafs

Next I will add three more ties to move each growth tip into its own space so one is not under another.

This will make the plants shape and lay out for 8 main branches.

Over the next week I will keep the top flat and should be transplanting from a 1.7 liter to her final 5 gal pot.

She's a mover.
 
"striped all the weak twins keeping only one growth tip, usually the uphill one"

Mr. Furley, Could you explain what you mean. Maybe I shouldn't have drank and smoked together.lol
 
Growth tips (nodes) grow in Two's, take the weak one.
Usually the one grows on the underside of the branch, I take that one.
Open picture two then three looking at the middle of the plant and the number of growth tips.

It has been a looooooong week of work so I shall catch up a couple things.

FCP clone after two days
20190502_194608.jpg

watered and training. 5/2
20190502_194915.jpg

on 5/5
20190506_030307.jpg

And repeat
20190506_030754.jpg

Are you seeing the pattern? I just move the ties from the previous spot to the end of the growth tip. This is when I talk about the circumference of the plant reaching the edge of the pot and that the plant is ready to be transplanted.

here is the other FCP clone completely different phenotype so it gets a different layout.
20190506_031323.jpg

this one grew tall so I'm going for less colas (10) and hope they are on the bigger side.

Here is it's donor FCP plants at day 42 from going into the flowering tent, not from first pistils but start of 12/12. Super fast photoperiod Plants.

hope you enjoy.
 
FCP clones A and B were put into flowering on 5/26.
by 6/2 the FCP A was uncontrollably bushy so the cycle starts again.

After defoliation
20190605_213549.jpg

This Fruit Cake Punch is the fastest flowering plant I have ever grown but the yields is small, off both plants there was 170 grams total last round, I'm hoping that a couple changes I made will push that number up this go around.
Small yield or not it it some frosty buds.

Thanks for checking in.
 
Thank you for linking this to your post. No idea how I missed it other than I was taking those classes and they were excellent. The replay of class videos and material is available til next June and all I find myself doing is re-watching and re-reading.

These photos you’ve posted clarify several things for me. Particularly the flat top creation which I have finally achieved. And I am beginning to wonder about a side by side / indoor and outdoor comparison. I have seen a few giant outdoor plants but none of them have had those thick long colas. But that is limited to my minimal exposure.
