Thank you, talk about making the best of this low hanging tent... All the buds on the left two plants had grown past and into light. Seemed like only alternative left until chop. For colors,I got the nighttime outside air cycling through lung room as we speak.
I'm sure this is frowned upon... But wtf
Oh yeah I am aware of my mistakes, for my first time I am happy. I did train the plants in the trellis, I was not prepared for the stretch, and I trimmed the lower part too much in the process.hah we can only do what we can. You sure as shit didn't trip fall and get to this spot. It took considerable work macgyver-ing shit to get them this far.
It is obviously too late this grow but I want to share some things that I have seen here at the Farm that might help. Regardless of whether you get a larger tent next grow, you definitely want to know want they and you are capable of. Long story short, I think you used your trellis net for some definitely needed support, but you never restricted the plants vertical growth in veg or flower. Depending not just on strain but also phenotype, some plants would technically outgrow any tent if given the chance. But since that tent is height restricted a bit, it is time for you to become a grand master scrogger. What about making your own trellis to fit inside like this but a rectangle that fits your tent? Then you place it over your plants early in veg and you tell them "listen ladies, this is how it is going to be. None of yall get to grow up until Papi says so. I don't want no whining or back-talking either" and you weave the branches and tuck the leaves until your tent is full. Then flip to flower and let them run in unison.
Look at the image I drew for you and tell me you are not laughing

I have a game plan for next time, I've researched more since then. The whole grow was a great learning process. Didn't expect to be master in first run, but not sitting too bad at the end of it.
Thank you
i was a little defensive, probably more so because I fucked up a bunch and can't wait to "make things right" next go-around. The one that is twice as big as the other two was transplanted differently than the other two (learning; trial&error), started flowering 2 weeks ahead of other two while they were stunted. And the one in the middle lost her air supply more than once in the beginning of flower, one time for around 2 days. The first net went in, and I was a lot less confident then than I am now with how rough I can be in training these girls. I vegged too long (greedy, totally unprepared for stretch, didn't believe it would stretch as much as people were saying online), and now at the end of this I realize I can probably cut my nutes in half. Long story long, I fucked up more ways than one, and am a little sensitive about it, lol.My bad. For sure must have came off different than had intended for your to reply to start "I am aware of my mistakes". I am on my 2nd grow and in no position to be telling anyone anything. Noone had mentioned training plants using a scrog net(trellis won't work because they will bend it and you lose height) in your thread so thought I would. Sorry if came off like a tommy-tell-ya.
That's awesome and I couldn't agree more. Clones are for smart growers and make what you spent on beans go down. I had a friend buy ethos mandarin cookies and run them, clone them, and run those all while I ran around and spent 100$ on seeds while needed none. The bean bug got me a smidge for sure. I'm on my 2nd grow and have over 20 different strainsI have a mother tent. I have been really making clones to learn, but yes some will go in next grow. This will be a new strain from the previous. I also have given clones away to encourage new growers, and sold two today actually.
For me it is much cheaper to clone than to buy seeds more than once. The second time the rockwool showed roots coming through in 10 days. The mother plant has her light turned way down, super veg blue mode, just enough nutes to not show deficiencies, and still the only way to manage her growth is to take clone cuttings off of her .
Mother Plant refers to whatever female you are trying to keep in perpetual veg and taking cuts off of.That's awesome and I couldn't agree more.

I'm on my 2nd grow and have over 20 different strainsand now I've got my 1st clones and don't know what to do with them. I am going to transplant them tomorrow and they are going to grow incredibly fast and I don't want them to grow at all. Hey when you say "mother tent" do you, or people in general only consider a mother plant to be the original plant grown? Or if I took cuttings from a fem photo plant, and keep the plant in veg only, is it called a mother too?
Sweet and thanks. Was hoping that was the caseMother Plant refers to whatever female you are trying to keep in perpetual veg and taking cuts off of.
20 strains??Sweet and thanks. Was hoping that was the case
20 strains??Wild. Do you ever find one better than the rest? I'm def open to a trade or something down the road.
I want to find that one cultivar that will help with my Crohn's the most. From my research I found that there original Hash plant was one of the best for abdominal pain. I forget what the other strains were but since I couldn't find an uncrossed Hash plant I went with Black Domina that is a cross of Northern Lights, Ortega, Hash Plant, and Afghani.
Because of all the research and purpose I want to stick with one, maybe two cultivars, hence the mother plant. Not everyone has reasons to stick with one.
the mother plant is in a 2x2, going to take 10 cuts this weekend. I don't need them, but i'll sell them or gift them. I have been working (bonsaiing) this one the best I can to keep it squat and spread out.
Here is an updated pic of some buds. So funny how this one became purple when I was not expecting it. The current flower is an unknown strain that was gifted to me, but the gifter told me she never had any purple on this strain in the 3 years she's been growing it outside and letting it pollenate itself to make more seeds.
