Nice good work friend! I’ll have to do a comparison on mine for today’s update. Not sure my flowers are that big. Maybe a white claw can.
Lol I'll prob try to min max a bit more next round to see about increasing the size more.Nice good work friend! I’ll have to do a comparison on mine for today’s update. Not sure my flowers are that big. Maybe a white claw can.
Good to know ill keep an eye on that. Just will be watching it like a hawk for the next couple weeks while these guys finish up. Buddy of mine came through with a commercial grade dehumidifier to help me kill the humidity issue which should keep things good moving forward. Had to do some finessing with that, within a few minutes running the thing threw a breaker. Taking a dab and mental dump below.Bummer about the botrytis, a good way to tell is if you see a leaf that is coming out of the middle of a bud start to wither and die, there is a good chance it has rot in there. Good luck keeping it contained, your buds look great. You really did a lot for a new set up.
Good luck, I'm sure even with some rot you will do great.
Biggest mistake you generally see at this phase is rushing things. Don't seal your stuff up too early or it will smell like hay. A good rule of thumb is if you think you have waited long enough, it's too early!
Well done man. AM is out for a bit, not sure when he will get back. But you did a great job on this one, just repeat it. Get used to doing it this way and you will get better bigger harvests.@Aqua Man Ive been doing a lot of thinking in general about the growing technique to limit smaller branches and try to boost the yield a bit per plant.
What do you think about all the mainlining/topping many times and just trimming all the other smaller branches in between doing kind of a focused grow on the 8-16 main colas? I guess not quite lollipopping but if I have space enough for 8-16 'mains' should I shoot for that or just train/scrog. Does topping that many times increase the bud swell size? (Assuming this could also be grow strategy and genetics as well.)
This past round the yield wasnt bad, some plants smaller/some larger. The best plant was about 8oz, if the others had been as big/well done they would have yielded comparably giving me a 2lb yield vs. the 1lb 2oz dried im guessing its going to be. I would like to see if a 1lb per plant in a 3x3ft space is possible though I dont see that being possible without a major shift in growing strategy and/or focusing on higher yielding genetics.
I know that trimming all of those smaller lower in between branches had mostly deformed or uncompleted buds that I ended up freezing with the trim. I guess mainly looking to eliminate/minimize that to focus that grow energy on quality colas.
Ultimately how does this rate among first timers? I think I am ready to employ some more complex methods.
