Wow, Boo.

All of your plants are super impressive. However, #3 going into a 10 gallon pot has me firing up the popcorn maker and settling in for a fantastic display!!!

 

[BooWho2]

Thanks for the compliments guys.

#2 and #3 got new homes today. They are sitting in 10 gallon bags filled with ProMix BX.

#2 - 68 days old.

#3 - 47 days old.
It's breezy today so the pics aren't super good. They both seem content in their roomier accommodations.

Stellar!

Happy Friday all! Hope everyone has had a nice week and is eager for the weekend! Here's a little update on GSC #1.
Yesterday I switched nutes from MC to Prescription Blend. I don't believe I received an answer from @Prescription Blend that I posted here, so I hope I didn't screw anything up.

GSC #1 - 70 days old/4 days flower.

I took a little tip from @InTheShed and extended the width of tie down capability I have on the grow bag.

Hello my little grommet friends. . Right now this gives me 8 inches of extension on both sides of the bag to tie down to. If need be, I can get a longer bamboo stick and widen it even more. I also did a tiny bit of defol at the bottom of the plant. Will do more when she starts to fill out a bit more.

She's stretching about an inch per day so far.
That's it for now. Have a great day!

Simply beautiful.

Nice work with the extender! Of course the grommet crowd would say you can slide the pole through a grommet on either side and skip the binders. But of course you would need the GROM3000 to add them to the pot in the correct locations!

Also, I don't see any advantage of keep those lowers low now, as the higher they are the more even the light distribution. I'd let them grow as tall as possible during stretch.

Your top nodes look much higher than the rest of the plant, so if there is some empty space in the middle you might want to consider supercropping those inwards. Just a thought.

Thanks Shed. I can’t actually get in there now and add more grommets soooo.

Your top nodes look much higher than the rest of the plant, so if there is some empty space in the middle you might want to consider supercropping those inwards. Just a thought.

My thought was to pull the branches down in order to make room for the supercropping of the top nodes! There is a lot of foliage that the tops will be bent down into….remove it?

 

[InTheShed]

If it's just greenery, cover it up with the top crop. If it's buds, see if you can angle the crop away from them when you bend. Then at 21 days you can see what stays and what goes.

It really looks like it's just the top nodes that needs to be flattened, so I think you should untie the lowers and push them up to the canopy. I don't see them being covered by supercropping.

Thanks Shed! I will post pics once the deed is done.

 

[BooWho2]

The deed is done.
Before:

And after:

I untied all but the front sides because I'm trying to keep them out of the way of the tent doors. I've given a couple of plants zipper burn.

 

[InTheShed]

Nicely done, and zipper burn sucks!

 

[Carcass]

The deed is done.

Perfectly executed...
Great advice from @InTheShed !

 

[BooWho2]

Happy Sunday all. Hope everyone's weekend has been a good one. GSC #1 is 72 days old/6 days in flower and 2 feedings in with @PrescriptionBlend nutrients. So far so good.

Her supercropped branches have twisted their little bud sites up towards the lights now.

Tent is getting fuller.

GSC#2 on the left is also 72 days old and appears to be the same phenotype as #1. She's a gorgeous plant that has a really nice structure. Looking forward to seeing her in flower! . GSC #4 is in the middle and doing well also. She is my little mother's day baby and is 49 days old. I should probably think about topping her soon.
GSC #3 is on the right, she's 51 days old and plugging along with them. That's all for now.

 

[InTheShed]

#1 is filling up that tent perfectly! And your pallets are holding their weight in beauty.

GSC#2 on the left is also 72 days old and appears to be...

...ready to be thinned out in the middle to prevent any fungi from taking hold in there!

 

[BooWho2]

Will do Shed. Lol. Thanks for stopping by! I'll top #4 when I defol #2. The @Prescription Blend nutes are smooth sailing so far. I gave my sis the prizes from my Plant of the month win and have just coaxed her into feeding new seedlings with it so...we shall see. So far so good - especially after I discovered the very large pipettes (as @MrSauga referred to them last year). Much easier to measure now that I know they go with the bags. Lol. My Playhouse shelves are a bit of a mess.

 

[InTheShed]

Get your sis on here! BooWho3?

Lol. She is. But I will not disclose her avatar. She's lurking and doesn't have a journal...yet. lol

Hi there. I topped GSC #4 today and did some defol on all three (#s 2 thru 4).

GSC #3

GSC #4

GSC #2
The defol was a bit massive, for me.... Hopefully I didn't do too much.

They also got sprayed top to bottom top and underneath with the Bee Safe spray. Bugs were flying away like crazy. . Hopefully it does it's job well. Stay cool out there!

 

[InTheShed]

on the thinning and a lovely shade of green!
