I see a lot of people saying they're taking care of the girls like they're cradling their newborn child. However, it's also true that these plants can handle a lot of abuse, and given recovery time they can really give some crazy weight.

Here I just bent the "main" branch over, tied every down. or put some weights on them. Also used some bread-twisty things.

Has some scars from our previous tussels. I basically broke the plants in two 1-2 weeks back.

Going to be some weird looking tree trunks. These are gorilla glue from royal seeds or something. Can't quite remember, but they're short and extremely bushy.

I have two plants in a RDWC system. 650W light each site. They're about in between week 2-3 veg.

There are some black spots on the older leaves, but that is because i grew these two in a 15L tote at first from clones to save on water and all that. One day water ran out, whops my bad.
And when i have rootballs of sufficient size, I pop them in the main system, which totals 90L, two plant sites with an episcenter.

I liked hanging this magnet with the hook on the branch, just keels over the whole thing. Now the plant has an even bigger area to grow, bigger canopy, more nuggets.
I wonder what's it going to look like in flower week 4, just a massive biceps flexing. I have gotten some pretty juice branches from this setup from prevous grows, I've had great success in coco, but man, nothing beats straight RDWC. Last harvest, i only had one plant, under 600W light, it yielded 642 grams! And that was after i had to use a hand-crank trimmer-thingo. It would have taken days if you go by it by hand.

Recovery time is massively quicker, but plants have a tendency to almost grow out of control if you let if, especially first three weeks of flower, better have that net up by then, no amount of silica is going to help the plant with the weight it's going to be packing.
Bending the shit out of the plant, growing more branches, more nodes and nuggets, but they will suffer for being too "young". Those new branches growing from your manifolding will be only week two veg by the time they will be packing on hundreds of grams out in week 9 flower. I like to put a net so all these young branches have something to lean on, fuck those yo-yos.

So, who else likes to bend the shit out of their plants? I love fucking with my plants.

Good morning.
In this timelapse, i've trimmed the hell out of the girls two times. This is over a span of maybe 10 days? ish, around there.
They completely recovered every time they've been cut back and come back stronger.
I thought it looked kinda cool. Video doesn't do it justice how big that plant grew, i should have gotten a better angle, but i kinda just threw it in here.

Here's another round with a lady i have in coco medium.
Pre trim overview.

I just croaked everything down

I've found that it really helps during week 1-3, plant has to juggle all that energy on 10+ tops, to slow the stretch. Or at least keep it manageable.
Auto side 2


All these tops will be grown at even level for a week or two, then flipped.

That's roots we see on the top, kinda greene looking. Can handle all that ppfd, pretty amazing really.
