Thanks brosef. Well "in theory" I will eventually remove virtually any and all leaves and "sucker branches" that are beneath the net. Basically just further lollipoppin. Once they are in flower and growing vertically, I'm going to leave as many leaves as possible so long as they aren't thieving vital light to bud sites. My tents I can acces from 2 sides so it is only the Mimosa x Orange Punch that will be the toughest to get to.
thanks. ok see what you mean.
@PerfecTrader sorry if you mentioned this And I missed it, but what is your scrog net made of?We just got smashed by some monsoons hah 3" fell in less than 60 minutesthankful to not be in flower or I'd have had to wrestle with the dehumidifier instead of the shop vac
as I tried to keep our atrium from flooding the house. Checked on the girls and still so far so good. Aside from the blue sunset sherbet being a supreme squatter who refuses to grow vertically, things seem to be going super swimmingly
The mimosa x orange punch is going to be a monster. I am for sure takin clones of her. @CannaGranny She is already reminding me of how your ATF is taking over the tent. Every single aspect of it seems to grow seamlessly. It overtook the GRC x BBC that is 17 days older. The Blueberry grew up to the net and I'm in love with. The jagged fat leaves are just dope to me. I realllly like the trellis I made and it is because of how it is different than the trellis I bought. The 4 and 6" stretchy trellises I have, you can pull on them and tuck but that is it. With the one I made I can move each square individually and that allows me to more easily direct branching. Really excited to veg them under the screen another couple/few weeks, FIM everything like I am a seasoned pro(will be my 1st time
), top dress and compost tea as if I've done that before too
, flip to flower and hope they grow up and make nice nice
I got 4 pieces of 3/4" pvc and 4 elbow brackets(when make another I will use the 3 way piece that you slide the pole through). Cut and made fit the tent. Then glued elbows so couldn't come apart. Drilled about 12 holes horizontally through 4 sides of pvc. Then took this window spline and threaded through it. Honestly I thought it would take more time than did. I will make 1 for 2nd 4x4 in a couple months and with a few adjustments I think it will be close to perfect. With this one, the exteriors are missing 1 row per side because the 100ft wasn't enough but close. Next one I will make 1 less hole per side. I just counted and it is 14 squares x 12. I think 12x12 or 11x11 would be better.
Totally didnt see this comment till now. Thanks for the welcome, I will def hit you up one day when im out there! And thanks so much for the positive messages, you have made me feel welcome on here, and I appreciate the help with ALL my numerous questions! Glad i have helped put some faith in my generation, not all of us are twitter obsessed meme machines! Lol.Back at ya Brother Man! Always welcome here in the Ozarks! Terps on that Future 1 are fruity and skunky. You owe me nada, I get just as big of a thrill from seeing your progress as I do my own. You and Trader both have just been a joyeven renewing my faith in the younger generation and that came at a very important time in my life. I needed that!
Leaving you a link to the grinder I bought. I got the bigger one as all of my stuff is sticky and the hand grinder was literally no longer cutting it. Also I’m sure they come in colors other than my choice of pink lol. So far, it’s grinding big sticky flower to perfection.

Happy Friday to ya Z. Thanks much brotha and so far so good for sure. Really hasn't been anything to it. CG wasn't lying when she said it was pretty dang turn key. Just make happy soil from the start, alternate waterings with smidges of blackstrap and weed from the seaand then weekish before I flip I will top dress with some shiz, give them one of them compost teas to the face, then do that again a week after flip, and that is it. I'm learning fast that like CG told me, best watering practices are essential. Not sure if I was being lazy or if was more so taking advantage a bit of soild retaining water for longer than coco, but I over did it imo and by allowing 6-7 days between waterings in the beginning because pots started completely drenched, I think I cause a bit of hydrophopic-ism(
As for run-off, kinda only once have I had 5%+ run-off and that was from Buttercup in the 5gal. Most of the time, I feed 1/4 gal real slowly from a garden sprayer and then go to next plant. Then I let all of them sit for 15-20 min and come back and give them another 1/4gal. Between 1/2gal and 3/4gal the bottom of the pots starts to get wet enough that I stop for fear of drowning roots
Hah good lookin out about the leaf. Someone mentioned a caterpillar and I panicked, got super high and put on gear like I was a Ghostbuster and went to war in the tent. Happy to say I have not had/found/seen a single pest yet. Actually that isn't true. During transplant I saw a springtail on the ground inside tent but NO gnats, or such and knock on wood I'm super stoked about that. Forget if I mentioned it but I snapped a main stem in half and just tapped back together and later that night it was fixed
Ehh as for the scrog and when to put up, great question and I think I would put it up about now if weren't for the Blueberry and the Blue Sunset Sherbert takin their sweet old time. I have been pinching the Mimosa's stems to "poor mans LST" it a bit because wow she is a flyer. Out of the 4 cultivars, she stands out for sure as what at this point I think I'd want to clone. Just seems like a super-girl so far if know what mean. Sometimes they just seem to shine but have also heard people say many times that the ugly duckling always ends up the real bomb so only time will tell. Yeah I can't wait to get to lollipoppin stage and I think I may give Buttercup a good whacking sooner than later. Was talkin to my boy back home and he said "If you are really trying to slow-roll Buttercup cause she is 2+ weeks ahead of the rest, strip the dickens out of her and that'll slow her down a bit" and I said hmmm
Stay lifted as well my brotha...
Oh yeeeeaaaaa! Now THATS a fricken lollipop! Good job bro
I'm with ya brotha. We need to stop being so gentle. Tired of the constant backhands just to have them say the next day "IS THAT ALL YOU GOT"?
Yup looks exactly like cannagranny’s tent, you passed the course I think lol
I know man we are learning the plants...and the plants are training us well too lol. I feel like the talking head from Rick and Morty sometimes and my plants are the people, I'm like “show me what you got girls” lolI'm with ya brotha. We need to stop being so gentle. Tired of the constant backhands just to have them say the next day "IS THAT ALL YOU GOT"?
I'm going to do a cleanup tomorrow then nothing for a couple weeks-ish. Flyin day by day waitin on Blue Sunset to catch up but Mimosa is pawning, Buttercup is tryin to follow, Blueberry is joining the party, and BSS should be to the screen sooner than later. Can't believe we doin this again
Oh I've got a few lifetimes till my tents catch up to hers but I just hope yo improve each grow. All I can ask for and feel on pace this grow. 4oz+ a plant and my goal will be met. Are you gonna FIM? CG has me fired up and I'm gonna FIM like a madman when the time is right.
I just top and had not planned on fiming. However tell me what cool idea you have with fimming you doing it during the stretch or late veg?
Week b4 flip to flower, when I top dress and compost tea, I will snip 2/3rd of all the growth sites. Within 3-7 days it will double the colas that then should stretch hopefully more uniformly
Oh ok I get it, hell yeah that's a unique way of getting lots of budsites. Looking forward to seeing how it goes!
you guys are doing great. i just wish i knew more as there is a lot to remember. i wish i knew more about tipping and fimming as when and where after first tipping gets me.
Well truth be told I wouldn't FIM this grow but I'm completely dedicating this grow to @CannaGranny and I know she would advise I take off my purse and get after it
It is rarely easy to trust you are exactly where you are supposed to be. Check out what I am posting below and I bet at least one thing will "click" and make sense. A few clicks is all we need sometimes to remove that which kept us from seeing what was right there all along. Welcome to the Farm/Jungle
Thanks for posting. i think i watched that. i have done a lot of research on it i understand the first topping but it's where to do it after the first top after node 4 or so.
