Septoria, deficiency, neither, I don’t know?

You got it homie!

Let her buck!!!!!

I trimmed out the baby stems and all the leaves on the lower 1/3-1/2 last night. Really happy with how they’re filling out. I’m gonna guess 3-5 days to the flip!

Your gonna have a burgeoning tent for sure! Wakka wakka!!!

 

[Rama777]

There are like 14-18 inner canopy tops on all the plants. Is that really a reasonable number of tops for a supposedly high yielding strain without a trellis?

I’m not against taking some out. Just not sure.

 

[Rama777]

I think I counted that there would be about 62 tops after taking cuttings if I don’t prune any out.

Count again after stretch. It’s fixing to get looney tunes. I’m gonna say conservative, double that.

 

[Rama777]

What!? Wow, what a show this gonna be!

 

[Rama777]

I’d rather have a trellis or two in place than 50 yo-yo’s cluttering up the joint.

Are stakes and skillful defoliation really going to be sufficient to support that many tops?

Also, I’m skeptical about a doubling of tops. I’ve brought nearly every branch up to the canopy. Where would these other tops come from?

Internodal growth.

Especially if he way you are tying larger stalks out of the way. Take this plant for instance, I stopped after topping to 16 tops on this plant.

Also I’m a fan of creating self supporting canopies. I’ve been at this stuff a long time. So I really have a few tricks up my sleeve.

I do a lot of work in veg to make them that way.

I believe it, and I’m grateful that I get to learn from you!

I’m thinking you’re not blowing up small tents and imagine that you might have horizontal airflow that comes in from around your plants from some of the true sides of your garden perimeter. Without my having that luxury, having some currently weak stems (which I’m sure time and silica will rectify to whatever degree), and not as skillful in terms of creating that self spouting canopy.. Well I’m not sure where that leaves me exactly. The main concern of course is botrytis.

So while I want to maximize harvest, I want it to work out!

So, if you have any recommendations for what I might should consider doing in the very near term or now to ensure success on that front, I’m all ears!

Ok as far as tents, I roll those too from time to time. In the tent, that’s gonna be packed like yours, airflow above and below canopy will sort that mold fear. My last tent run, 15 1 gallon plants all the way through harvest.

Damn that is beautiful work..

Looks like around 140ish tops. What’s the size of that tent?

Just a 4 x 2.
I’ve grown every which way you can imagine in soil. I like to do it all, just to scratch itches from time to time. Test convention, break a few rules and most importantly, yield well…..I’m an airflow junkie. My flowering room is very windy. As is my veg room too. It’s just kinda how I’ve always done it.

Thank you for the nice words, but really I’m just another homie that has a ton of love for the craft, the plant, and the people.

I’ve got pretty high intake and extraction running most of the time. One acinfinity 6” oscillating fan from above and one ready to be below the canopy when they stretch.

I can probably keep the room at 40% humidity on average during flowering. There will be times during lights out that it will hover closer to 50%

If that sounds risky I can get a dehumidifier. I imagine bud quality with my leaf temps would be improved with those 50% nights, but I don’t want to take any chances.

That’s actually really good, at lights out the pots and plants release moisture into the air. So keep lower flaps open. So that tent in the pic, was flowered at around 55%, but I offset that by keeping air moving vigorously. I didn’t have any issues at all. I won’t run a dehumidifier unless I’m seeing 60% +
And always keep in mind, with feeds it spikes for a day. It’s all gravy!
