Day 32 Veg Tent A - Day 38 Flower Tent B
I think I have figured out my problems with my computer and the new part comes in the mail this week. I’m old school and I do a lot of things on it. I don’t know how you guys just did the app or phone thing before the new forums update but I have to have a computer.
First off the girlfriend is killing it right now. All of them have hairs just starting to pop out. She’s going to have one of the best first grows I’ve ever seen.
Next my veg girls have started to boom a bit. They aren’t at what I would call aggressive veg phase but they are close. It was time for another training session and defoliation though.
So I started with the Purple Envy which looked just a bit off. One of her 4 quadrants wasn’t growing so well and when I took a look I found the problem. She had grown so much and I had her pinned down so tight that one of the 2 top quadline branches was hanging on by a thread and had basically torn itself off. I had two choices. Mend it up and let it regrow (but likely more stunted than the other 3) or go with a tri-line. So I went for the tri line. I did this with an Auto seed once and it was pretty cool. Remember my theory on guiding energy so this shouldn’t hurt my yield with it happeneing so early on. Not an ideal finding but probably the best time for it to happen.
The Super Iced Grapefruit looks fantastic. It was perfectly even on all four sides. I used it as my example photo on how I do this part of the quadline training. First at node one you have two even branches coming out the top. I defoliate both of the big fan leaves that come out of there. At node two I also did this. With the quadline method the branches are not even at node 2. One is on top and one is on bottom of the big support branch. The one on bottom just never makes it to the canopy. I always end up chopping it off. This is my first time doing it this way but I chopped that branch off right now instead of waiting. So node two now only has one branch and it’s on top ready to go. Node 3 I didn’t do anything too and they will be both even branches again. In a few days I will pin them down just after node 3 and let true whole thing grow vertical until they are ready to flip. I’ll still defoliate and adjust things during that time but nothing too major.
White Rhino small and compact but about at the same node growth as the other 3. I think I remember my original one starting out slow too and really kicking it up in aggressive veg phase so it’ll be fun to see if she does too.
Lastly the Chemdawg. Wouldn’t even be able to tell she had a slow start anymore. Will be cloning this for sure.
I basically haven’t touched the flower tent in a week. Just letting them run their course. I’ll try to be more detailed on my next update on the individual girls.
I’ve done some sampling of my latest harvest and my head is spinning. All of them are really good. Best quality to date. I’m really looking forward to the finish of the flower tent. I think I’ve finally nailed it if I can get a clean finish.
