I’m praying I come home to 2 new nodes per branch, he’ll I’m even tempted to see 2 new nodes per brach and do a full round of topping lol

Can’t be scurred now this is a competition! Go big or go home right?

Maybe Santa will stop by the shed and drop a present under it!!! now the question is do I leave out a joint and cookies!?!? think Rudolph would want a gummie?

 

[Mikedin]

I forgot these were tucked behind the cman x okie

Disclaimer no plants in flower in the house besides that cman x okie and in mid 50’s so she’s good chunkin up like hell

First 3 pics are her reversed clone

3rd pic is Frostette reversed clone

Really wanna try the challenge plant in this tent but I don’t think I have her set up right for the height with the 1 gal pot it’s pretty tall

 

[BB22]

Winging it. Cut a couple of the larger fan leaves and some of the lowers.

Sorry if I'm not as involved on the forum this week, I'm in trim jail
I actually don't like calling it that, I'm one of the few that probably enjoys trimming.
I don't even use gloves, love how sticky and smelly my hands/fingers get, it's all just part of the experience!
I use to dread it, would take my 3-4 hours to do 2 ounces but now I can cut through 4-5 in a couple hours.
The AC Infinity Trim Tray I just got in the mail today is definitely making things more comfortable, able to sit back on the couch and go to it with the tray in my lap instead of hunched over a table with my back killing me.

Looking forward to getting the trimming all done as soon as possible because I'll be doing my first full run of Autos in my Spider Farmer 55"x28"x80" once everything is trimmed up.

BONUS

 

[Captspaulding]

This sounds like a reasonable option! She’s got nodes pushed right up to those upper fans that why I was thinking I should remove em

The damn leaf stems are as thick as the stalk

Thick as a brick

 

[Mikedin]

Hell yes! Real heavy now she’s got something else in there too just can’t pick it out yet, I love this point where they start really developing their final aromas

 

[Mikedin]

Thick as a brick

Pretty crazy when even my wife points it out in her 5 seconds walking by the tent open she was like damn that plants stem is thick as hell that was right as I was choppin off those fans last night haha

 

[Graham.Bagg]

Mannn I know she’s all organic but damn these leaves are so big she can’t even pick em up she’s only 8” tall haha


Soooooo tempted to remove those massive fans

Opinions?

Yeah look at that brutal RH swing… all day baby! let er ride

Personally I try to leave as much foliage on the plant as I can, especially the early formed larger fan leaves.

They are giant solar panels harnessing the energy for the plant, as well as mobile nutrient reserves. I will opt to tuck fan leaves if I can, rather than trim. I usually wait until they start to wilt, or the plant has tapped in to their nutrients before I remove.

 

[Captspaulding]

kind of a spin off question with what Capt stated still being useful.

I was thinking yeah take them off, then I considered the amount of root generation those bigger leaves are doing? Thats the question lol, what’s the risk it to biscuit factor here? : )

Well healthy roots, drive plant growth. And healthy vigorous plants with lotsa leaves drive uptake. Less leaves less uptake, it’s about surface leaf exposure, generally speaking your rootzone should be the equivalent to plant matter above ground. Ball park. And with the height of that plant, you can def get away with opening up that top, and getting better airflow to the main stalk. I’m the type of dude who will sometimes daily, snag bitch ass fans. I’m constantly trying to open up for new growth.
If I have 10-15% light penetration to the top of the dirt, it helps achieve that balance faster.

I can dig it, a covered node that is blocked by a fan, the bud still grows and gets bigger. I used to tuck a lot more a while back, I always got too frustrated when they pop back to the spot I moved them from.

I spanked her ass and she called me Daddy
