@jadins_journey at least you're educated now 😂... and certified with a certificate 🤣🤣
Hell yeah! One thing they didn’t have a video of was super cropping! Would have kept things balanced anyways 🙈

I don’t do it often but I don’t flower plum Michigan that often either. Put some tie downs on the mains to catch their recovery

She sure bushed out with that early light penetration, keep that trick in your playbook for future reference.
Get anything press yet?
I was thinking about those training gizmos you use in veg. Same results as what I did, is there a benefit one vrs the other?

Some of the first in line for the shed after the summer. Just couldnt them in the line up and i really dont want to grow them outside lol!

Not yet😆 thinking tomorrow? was trying to give it time to set a little, if that makes sense : ) they dried quicker than the ideal 9 days, i wanted to give it at least that much time after thinking about pressing the really fresh stuff last time.
is there a benefit one vrs the other?
I really like using them in early veg through early flower! Pros, they keep the medium and directly above open for waterings and top dressings (thats really not applicable to your set up). Con, as you can see in your plant you have that nice bend in the plant, then the vertical growth a good ways away at the tie down. Those benders i use dont give you that lateral run if you will (looks good the day off all folded over but the next day after recovery there isnt but the width of the benders in lateral run.
So in conclusion i like to tie down after i have top dressed the last time in flower. I feel the benders do have a place in my shed, but kind of think the tie method from early on is a better method overall.
 
Clone day- maybe a little early but everybody seemed ready. I change all the rocks in veg each cycle and the meant breaking down Pure Michigan’s tie-downs.

You actually need to move the hooks further away from center as the grow, she was topped yesterday so it won’t be but a week and she’s gone

The Wife’s- based off a 3 gallon bucket this thing is huge, just not many flowers this round

Cloner- 6 days cut. They are all still standing but 1 or 2 don’t look great for candy rain
IMG 1137

Veg- Pure Michigan is about 50 days cut and she’s at 11 inches tall. Never thought I’d see that but it took some serious training.

Maui 86 is impressive in its structure, leaves are showing some Indica? Long stem wide leaves but they are both bushing nicely

Apples and Bananas- 1 week flower, 2nd trellis today

White Runtz- 8 weeks flower and she’s about done, still drinking so I’ll let her ride for a bit longer

Back in the days my buddy used a glas or plastic bottle over the seedlings to start with to keep the humidity. It could be worth a try?

We just buy a bunch of mixed flowers, the$1.99 variety so most times it’s like this. The sole purpose for the system is a conversation piece. Kids are gone, dogs as old as we are. There’s times you need a topic just to chat about. 5th marriage so it’s worth a shot 👍

There’s a joke somewhere in there about being as old as your dogs😆 i just cant come up with it at the moment! 😂 maybe something like “Hey at least you dont have to multiply your birthday by seven years!?” or something like that🤦‍♂️🤣

I was just looking at some cool indoor tree bushes! plants are good to have in the house : )
 
If this system is on track I can finish training one in flower about the time the next plant comes in, it’s been a busy couple days.

Apples and Bananas got her 2nd trellis and cleaned up nice and tight on her lowers.

the front left pair are the Maui 86 seedlings, topped so they are starting to bush. Clone then sex is the plan for those 2 healthy plants, fingers crossed
 
If you read about cloning one of the first things people say is you have to have a mature donor plant. This plant germinated 2-22 (30 days) so it’s far from mature but it doesn’t matter. This was the 2nd to germinate and by far the largest, I’ll go ahead and call it male based on growth rate. Hope I’m wrong
