I just finished chopping the white widow back. They already have root tips poking out around the fabric pots. I'll veg for two more weeks then flip the lights to 12/12
Males always seem to show in veg from my experience. not that I haven't been surprised before in flower, but it seems males show sex quicker. Many of times I've seen balls like mrg is show8ng in my veg area when it's new seeds. Btw, stellar, you know that as always lol. when you cut back, how many times are you topping before that? I can't get mine that many branches at that height. some strain do better than others, but do you have tips for lanky plants that naturally have far nodes?
Hey MGJ nice grow as always!. How do you find pure blend pro in hydro?...does it gunk up your res?... I love pure blend and use it in promix and was considering it in my hydro setup but was worried about it plugging up all my drip lines. Edit; I still have a pack of Lemonberry seeds from the original run back in the day think I need to pop some.
Nippie I topped only once with this strain. I'll be removing all fan leaves this weekend. I'll post some added thoughts later.
Nippie, the best advice for plants that naturally stretch, and with natural further node spacing is to keep lights as close as possible and super crop the tops to shorten innernode spacing. Hey Canadian123, I like the pure blend in Eb and flow no problems. I do run a circulation pump in the sump to keep the nutes suspended. Not sure how it would do in a drip system.
I just finished removing all fan leaves from the white widow table. I'll be removing the fan Leaves from the other plants tomorrow.
Well here they are the day after defoliating all the plants. GTI, I'll post weekly updates from here on out so you can see the changes along with everyone else. All questions welcomed.
So, two weeks before the flip, at the flip and 3 weeks in, I let the goat into the garden? Would this hold true for 12 week Sativa with a 30 day stretch? I can't help wondering how the solid stuff in Liquid Karma can get into the pots on the table. Wouldn't the pot material filter it out?
OldSmokey, I want to point out that two weeks before was for topping purposes to help spread them out. I did not defoliate two weeks before. Ok? I do a complete defoliation the same day I flip to 12/12, then 3 weeks later I defoliate again and remove all the fan leaves. OldSmokey, as far as your plant goes with the 30 day stretch I would still remove all the leaves at the flip of flower (12/12). during the next three weeks I would perform weekly supper-cropping of the tops to slow vertical growth. At the three week mark, defoliate all plants again and any small shoots that appear to low to get good light. My understanding of the particulate matter in Botanicare is there, but still give off the nutrients in the H2o it is mixed with. I've never had a problem with nutrient issues.
Thanks, Mr. G. I'm going to give it a try in the next couple of weeks or so. The net still needs some filling. How much does the defoliating affect the height of the plants? Does it slow them down much height-wise? (I overflowed my screen last time and am trying to avoid doing it a second time.)
