"My personal observation reveals that you need to move very quickly in the first week of flower... and you have to be ready and willing to react ... if not than your yield and excitement of having a phenomenal grow will come up short."Getting to the part of having many multiple main colas... is going to take a bit of work.. It will take daily effort to manipulate and guide the newly formed branches... if you followed along you would see in less than 2 weeks these plants have put out dozens of new risers / branches.
In the image below... I've lead the leading tip underneath a string.. in anticipation that it will grow longer and the grid square to the left has room for a new lead riser... whether it make it their or not... won't break a sweat... just an effort..

Just continuing to stretch the leading ends to less crowded grid holes... just know that some leading branches you'll not be able to do much with . Most likely (it seems) the ones on the boundaries of the scrog net will have a mind of their own... and frustrate you.. no... i didn't cut them down... but I did think about it... just ... it seems they keep snickering at me...

You have a nice eye, those leaves look all like sativas right? The 4 Ripper Haze (Amnesia Haze from Ripper Seeds) in big pots are 80% sativa but the Bubble Gum autos are 40% sativa 60% indica. Bubblegum is a good example of a tall indica dominant, it might even let me do a toping next grow, lets see, you can tell the 40% sativa in it unlike with others, like for example if you mix an og kush with a sativa it tends to take over the sativa side in terms of genetics and the contrary happens with bubble gum. The lights are off right now, Ill show you a pic tomorrow and even with all Ive taken out I would take more out from the 2 in the back I just cant make it, my kness and my elasticity are not what they used to be hahaha but the two in the front are very clean.Eledin.. you've been a very.. very busy farmer... thanks... lot of good information in your posts. The plants in the images look like sativa strains... Be sure to post me an image below your netting I'd like to see how far I can go in defoliation below and above. The plants in the images look like sativa strains...
Yes I grow from seed, those pics are from 4 Crystal Candy from Sweet Seeds, I got 1 blue pheno and 3 green ones. Thats another thing with seeds, many times they will taste slightly (or even quite a lot) different even if its from the same strain, or look slightly different. No, my friend does SOG not SCROG, the clone thing is to ilustrate my point that even with clones (same phenotype, should all be the same more or less)) some can still get behind or be lazy y so he gives them 1 day of darkness before the 12-12 so they are going more or less at the same pace.Eledin.. I look at the broken stem as another experiment... Let me know are those plants in the last image of your post grown from seed?
From ilovegrowingmarijuan : "The only concern with manifolding clones is that they have asymmetrical nodes, which means you end up with one side having more instead of getting equal numbers of branches. However, clones can handle stress much better than autos"
Hahaha its okay I know your type and Im kinda the same. I would take the advice but many times Id rather see for myself than just trust someone. What brand of ferts are you using again? I personally dont like those ratios, way too much nitrogen for my liking in both. Of course doesnt mean theyre wrong, I just like to use different ratios, nitrogen is mostly for growth and they put a lot in bloom fertilizers sometimes because the first 3 weeks its still growing and if they dont have enough nitrogen they might get more yellow leaves, which in their mind I think could make a customer think the ferts are not good enough. Lets say someone who is in bloom first grow sees yellowing because he is using a low N bloom fertilizer and decides to fertilize more, he is gonna burn the plant, with low nitrogen bloom fertilizers you just gotta take those leaves out or let them fall on their own, is no biggie at that point. My bloom fert is 1-4-4 but the first three weeks of flower I mix equal parts as I said, my veg fertilizer is 2-1,5-1 (The values are so low cause you need like 10ml per liter with this one when theyre big, Alghemp from Trabe)"You know Im not a fan on defoliating a bit every day".. I tend to be a bit of an experimenter...making mistakes is how I learn.......................................................................................................................................................... as long as it doesn't blow my head off.
I'm sure if I had a grow that hermied .. I would be cautious also...
If it ever got out what I did to their mother .... I would be banned from the Catholic Church...
For vegetation I use: 24 8 16 and for Flower / Bloom I use: 15 30 15
