Indoor virgin, wish me luck

[Captspaulding]

Don’t neglect them this weekend, fucker!!!

…………………………they’ll find you…..

I'm back. The plants survived though the blue dream and the Malawi look uncomfortable. Like me on the roof all weekend. I got all my sleepers in and ready for the second decking and the metal, finally.

 

[Oldchucky]

Bad ass, dude! Sweet!

Bad ass, dude! Sweet!

Thanks. At least I have to go back k to work tomorrow. Four weeks without a day off, and during the heat wave. The beatings will continue until moral improves!

Hey @Oldchucky , are the malawi and critical locktite gonna have big arm like buds on them? I never really did much topping on them before I cooked them in the tent with a heater. Honestly, I didn't expect them to survive.

 

[Oldchucky]

Look a little more sativa. I’m not really familiar with them. But your rooftop sure would look like a cactus garden to the uninitiated. I’ll have to go back and check the lineup! I have lost track of which are which!

 

[electroguy]

Left, Malawi
Right, critical locktite

 

[electroguy]

They are growing the same

 

[Oldchucky]

Just looks like there is a lack of lateral branching. Almost look more like an auto would look. But a lot can happen in the next month. I don’t top, so no expert but maybe you should have top a few more times. To get more of a normal plant spread. And I think you’re going to have some thick solid bud on those arms. And it looks like they will be easy to support!

If you can, if its yield you are worried about, pull the tops over horizontal carefully, without splitting at joints. If you work at it a little each day you definitely could get them opened up. get the entire side of the stalk open to the sun. Think guyed wires. Also if you use wire, put a piece of old hose on it at the plant contact point.

Easy on the defoliation bud, you want to leave a lot of those leaves on. And your light is a little too hot. I think you lollipopped a bit high. Oh good morning btw!

Sounds like it’s worth a try. Be very careful of the joint where the branch joins the stalk. IMO whenever you top that joint can be a weak spot prone to splitting. Especially the first joint or two. seems like when you top you have to keep topping periodically to kind of spread some of the stress out. Kind of why I just bend them from the get-go! I use that green gardening tape. Got a little stretch to it.

Yeah a more nuanced approach to bending them is needed, like a gradual slow chiropractic approach. I would put the stalk joint on question in a white knuckle grip in one hand. And a very ginger bend in the other hand. maybe even zip strip the joint for a little extra support while you train it. But, it’s always about what you are comfortable doing bro. I’m just throwing this out as a possible option. Bc @Oldchucky is 100% right about the joints. But it can be done.

I had major trouble controlling temperature and humidity here in the desert. But awesome lemony smoke and awesome blueberry og.

I popped my first seed in the window on February 12 and 18 more shortly thereafter. Only 5 females but got some pollen and made a few crosses. And a Malawi clone.

The roof, this morning. 103 today. Yuk. Blue dream wants to live in Arcadia.

Hey @Oldchucky , when should I look at some defoliation on the roof plants? I got way overzealous on my blueberry og in the tent and I want to avoid that on the outdoor grow. Keep giving them fish ?
