Yes keeping it moist but not too wet is my biggest concern, especially outdoor. That's probably what I need as well.
As for the manifolding I notice it slows down growth but then it speeds up even faster, catches, and surpasses my non-manifolded plants later. Probably due to not many leaves being shaded by other leaves, but just my theory. I don't have to prune or bend much later either, as most of the work is within 3 weeks veg Works tho because my veg spot is tiny. Which forces me to air layer halfway through flower. Sux because I've been running Skywalker OG and the strain has taken me sometimes 4-5 weeks to root, plus it being outdoor I have to meticulously moisten it since it dries out so fast.
Starting to think this strain isn't the best for it.
The manifold could outpace in the latter stages due to the increased number of leaves receiving direct light, that doesn't seem far fetched, in the least. There would be far more surface area available.
If you're outdoor can you do soil layering instead of trying to air layer? I would imagine they get big enough to bend a low branch to the ground, no? Or have you tried that?
Ugh,the black indica is looking juicy and I'm still two weeks out. Pineapple is going to be fat fat fat. Gdp is going more and more purple every day. I'm certain I want to do a quick dry/cure with the gdp and preserve the colour in the flower. Hopefully don't fuck it up too bad.
Og La affie looks much smaller than the rest and if I didn't already know it turns out rock hard and dense I'd definitely think it was way behind the others.
The sensi star mutant refuses to stretch, at all. Like, literally none. It grows slow as fuck vegetative as well and I'm really wondering how to structure it for optimal yield. The next sensi come I send to flower is going to get reversed on a branch or two. This miniature mutation is just too intriguing to let go. If it's inheritable I'd be very keen to dwarf several varieties I have and observe the results.
