2nd Run Ever: Cheese Auto & Cement Shoes Photo From Canuk Seeds, Join Me!

[MightyMoe22]

I would have just sat it here like I did the cheese, but she under a net and several branches are already buckling under the swelling buds, I'm afraid one would break if I removed the net and tried to move her. But yeah that's a great way to go about it if you don't have a sink like this. I just use a shop vac and pulled the water out of the tray as it filled up.

I only ended up flushing 4 gallons through before the fifth with 5.5g mc. Well see how she does with the lighter dose of mc and the light raised up a bit. Hopefully that helps her relax a bit and stop stressing! Lol nobody likes it when you're stressed!

Yeah I never even though of that!
that’a one of the main reasons why I haven’t used a scrog before. The first time I grew, I tied each branch down individually... it was a pain in the ass lol!!
glad you were able to get er’ finished!!

 

[MightyMoe22]

Yeah @Backlipslide the net definitely has its pros and cons, it would have been tough to keep from all falling apart or having to use 20 yo-yos without it, like I ended up doing on my first run, the kushberry. Speaking of which, I know it's only one grow to compare to but I've had so much less stretching out of all these plants than I did that first plant. I think its mainly due to the leds vs the hps i ran last go. At least that's my guess.

I’ve tried this once and it worked well, but what I did was, put four bamboo sticks all around the pot on the outter edge of the pot, sticking straight up before flipping into flower, then after they stretch into flower intertwined with the branches, it seemed to help a lot by carrying some of the weight... it’s an option if your willing to try it! No worries if not, you got a good handle on things.

I've been thinking about something like that or a tomato cage in the future. Id like a solution that allows me to move the plant still. That's my last favorite part of using a net. I like to rotate my plants daily, and id like to think they like it too. Can't rotate with the net. Lame

I used a cage in my grow, wasnt able to take advantage of it much because they never got too tall.... but if your plants are taller you can tie to many areas. They are still stretching so we'll see if theres any benefits. You csn see how much of the cage i never was able to use

Yes sir! Being able to remove the plants from that area freely as you please, is the cats meow!

not trying to tell you not to use a trellis, but without an automated feeding and draining system, it makes everything super hard.

I love growing with my tomato cages... makes it super easy to move the plants, especially if you put them on rollers

 

[MightyMoe22]

I was thinking maybe cut the lower third, maybe quarter of a cage off so its a bit shorter and you get to utilize the wider, upper portion a bit more

whatever works... for my upcoming tall sativas I plan on inverting a cage on top of the first one, just to get some extra height

 

[MightyMoe22]

@Emilya I was just thinking in the mindset of my current plants that are pretty short honestly. The cement shoes is only 19inches from the dirt to top of tallest nug. And they amnesia only 21in tall. I can imagine many situations where having more height vs the less height i was talking about would be good.

 

[Emilya Green]

so half of a tomato cage sounds perfect... cut it down to what you need... what are they, like $4?

 

[MightyMoe22]

Yeah, round about im sure. Honestly haven't looked yet, I'm gonna grab a few for my next round once we get done moving in june.

 

[MightyMoe22]

Today was a good day. Got to go out to the new property and get the tractor going and get some mowing done. Have to go back tomorrow to finish up. But felt good. Can't wait to get fully moved in.

 

[Backlipslide]

That’s a beautiful piece of property moe!!

 

[MightyMoe22]

@Backlipslide Thank you sir. We are all super excited. Just got word today that we may be able to move in a couple weeks earlier than planned! Fingers crossed.

 

[Backlipslide]

Good luck moe!!! Hope your able to!!

 

[MrSauga]

Nice looking property Moe. I can see the second hole now weaving around the bush as a dog leg right into the green. Enjoy your days ahead.

So today is 8 weeks flower for the cement shoes. From my inspecting of the trichs I don't see any amber yet. Cloudy but not amber. Going to watch real close over the next week.

Do any of you fellow mc users ever, and I am hesitant to even use the word, but "flush" with straight water or feed at a greatly reduced concentration for the last week or so? Are there actually any good reasons to, or not to? I know how controversial the "flush" conversation gets, fast. Not trying to stir up that kind of mess. Just asking for any experience you all may or may not have had with this using mc specifically, or what is recommended.

And a couple shots of the amnesia. That is humongous! Thanks @Vulx and @GreenleafNutr . Making me look like the auto flower whisper-er on this one.

Then the funky cement shoes clones in tiny cups that seem to have made it back into veg, sure are funny looking though. Would it be detrimental to them if I cut them down to about half the height they are now? Really trying to keep them small as possible, as long as possible. They are getting root bound.... and there are two plants per cup!! Lol. Gonna have to cull one from each cup no matter what.

Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe!

 

[Backlipslide]

That first picture!! Wow!!

damn those are some leggy clones. Yes you can cut them down. It would be like topping your plant though is all it is.

it never hurt to take off a few leaves here and there every time you check on the ladies. I look at it, as general maintenance

some people feed right till chop. Some feed till the day of chop, give a good cleansing with a rinse and reset. Some flush a week before chop... it’s up to you to decide, really.

I found no real difference between the two, not flushing, and flushing. I just kinda found a system that works for me, and stuck with it. Sometimes(like my sour jack, in my last run) I’m caught off guard and just go with the flow.
