I’ve got 2 grows under my belt, both outside grows. First one got me a few ozs of airy, potent bud. Second was a failure. That’s when I decided I loved this hobby and getting high ;D. Upgraded to my current set up.
I don’t have them labelled yet. Peyote is too left, Dream top right. Bagseeds on bottom. Day 14
Welcome to the forum. I spend a lot of time on here reading. This is how crazy Blue Dream can get. I currently have 3 moren in the tent. I love this strain.
Nice cola bro!! Hope my Blue Dream comes out like THAT, lol. Thanks all for the support. I’d really like to make a nice harvest. Im growing the bagseed for fertilizer testing mainly just for fun.
I had a bad experience adding FF trio with my FF soil and basically killed my last grow, lol. I’ve only grown bagseed until now btw.
I have 12 more seeds. Some blue dream, peyote critical, peach puree I’ll eventually journal. As well as amnesia haze, violator kush, 710 diesel, and bubba kush.
Some more pics of my set up. Currently just waiting for more growth, at node 6/7 I am going to start the manifolds. Has anyone used the screen while the plants were under it? I have plant ties on the way. I figure tying off under the screen will be easier to transplant later.
Also I think I’m going 0 liquid ferts this run. All soil. Top dress, and up pot right before flower to 7 gallons. At most I’ll look into compost teas.
Of course welcome. Thank you, any advice welcome. Just watered until pots were a bit heavy, 2 solo cups each. Still doing 1tsp of ST post transplant. And molasses. Kind of a heavy watering should be good for a good 3 to 4 days? I’ll lift pots daily.
Started manifold. Accidently topped Peyote down to node 2 instead of 3. Hopefully doesn’t make a huge difference. Only manifolding my 2 named plants not the bagseed. They’ve grown so much since this morning. Vigorous enough to top today. Was on node 5-6
I have never topped a plant. I want to try it but it feels so wrong. I may on my next round of photo fems top. Can you top and lst? What happens if you do? Oh, welcome to the forum. You look off to a great start. I am growing my first plant in FFOF now. Others have been in coco. I am set to watch and learn. Good luck
Thanks for the support. It definitely feels a bit wrong chopping your plant. Especially when doing the manifold. It is a contribution to their final beauty, haha.
You most definitely can lst also. I’ll be bending some branches as soon as they grow back out. Google manifolding cannabis you’ll see what I’m attempting to do
Most definitely bro, all my seeds are fem photos, otherwise random bagseed. Regretting planting the bagseeds a little bit, but they’ll be good experimenting. As of right now my main concern is space, lol. With 2 manifolds and 2 normals it’s going to be tight under my lights. I have all the time in the world, except the fact I’m still buying my bud. Not for long
That’s what I wanted to do when I first started. To limit the amount the family spent yearly on something we could produce on our land.
I’ve done the manifold training on a few plants a couple years ago. I grew them in pots just on the outer edge of our grow.
What I found by doing this method is it added a month - 6 weeks into your current 8 week veg. By topping the plant instead of fimming it was causing the plant to have to completely rebuild its pathways to push growth thru. While doing so your high stress training the plant to do what you want instead of what occurs naturally.
Now in terms of space I can understand why you would want that. In terms of time your other plants will suffocate out the manifold plants in a few weeks and be too big to allow them to grow.
I’ve done it in my 4x4 tents giving each plant 2x2 areas to grow. If one plant isn’t strong enough the others will use its space to grow
Thanks for the insight. I am planning on training the others to keep them low, just not mainlining. I find topping better than fimming for myself personally. I think the yield will be nice.
