Bud's Flowers With The Viparspectra KS5000

Damn dude stretching's and budding at the same time , The K mints is out of control and loving it 1 Looking Good Buds
Unfortunately, I found balls on that one this morning so it's gone. I'm also having issues with the Apple Betty. She has a lot of limp branches. I'm wondering if flipping it to flower too early caused that. The other 2 plants have thick strong branches. My first Apple Betty runted out on me. The 2nd one (the one I'm growing now) didn't look much better after it sprouted; but figured I'd let it grow & see what happened. I guess I'm finding out. The upper branches seem OK. The lowers are weak, thin branches that fall over. Had this happen a few years ago with a Peyote Wi-Fi. Can't remember what the issue was.
 
As I mentioned yesterday, the Kush Mints Hermied on me so it got sent to the chopping block. I also mentioned the Apple Betty that's not going too well. I'm probably going to get rid of it too. She's just too whimpy for my liking. Even her main stalk is soft & weak. Here's some pics of her. What would you do ? Seems like a waste of time to keep growing her when the branches aren't strong enough to hold any bud.

On the bright side.... lol, I'll have plenty of room in the tent to finish the last 2 plants.
The bad side is.... The main 2 plants I wanted to grow are gone & I'm only left with the 2 I don't really care about.
When I bought Forbidden Fruit at the dispensary it sucked ass. So I'm not expecting kick ass weed from that one.
The Banana Pudding really never took off so she wont produce much anyway.
Unless the FF produces some kick ass weed, this grow was pretty much a waste of time.

I'm a bit puzzled at why the Apple Betty has weak branches when the other 3 have stiff branches. Only reason I can think of is because she got flipped at about 21 days old. But that doesn't make sense to me because people have started SOG grows on 12/12 from start to finish.

I also don't know why the Kush Mints Hermied when it was treated the same as the other 3 plants. I'm thinking the seed was unstable to begin with.

I will try the Kush Mints again. Not so sure I'll waste my time on Apple Betty again since 2 seeds in a row gave me problems.

Oh well, Is what it is. Here's the 2 remaining plants.

If I wanted to flower her out I'd cut back on the watering and make her work for her living, at least until she got with the program.

Have you got a fan in grow room to strengthen branches?
 
Silicon might help.
 
Thought about that too. But the branches are like soft rubber. They'd just fall through the holes. I don't see much hope for it really. Just trying to figure out... what not to do next time. I really think this strain would do better in a Fabric Pot with a Wet/Dry Cycle.
Hoping to find someone growing Apple Betty in a SIP to see how theirs is growing.
I think I'm going to cut off the top 16" approximately & try to root it. If it takes root I'll put it in a Fabric Pot & see how things go.

That was to be my next comment clone it and try again 😊

That's what I was thinking too. Cut it and root it. Good luck.
 
Hey Buds :)

I’d cut her in half and train her.

That’s what I’d do with any yard plant I wanted to thicken up. I basically apply my general gardening techniques to canna. Why reinvent the wheel when you don’t need to?! Lol

@Trala Looks good!:thumb:
 
Here's where you see quite a big difference. The girls are out of control. Damned KS5000.... Just kidding of course. This thing is kickin some butt & taking names. I never thought they'd get this big when they were only 14" - 16" tall when I flipped to Flower. The Kush Mints had better stop growing as it's only 8" from touching the light.

Right now I'm just Feeding them with 5.5 gr. per gal. of Mega Crop with 3 ml. per gal. of Silica. They easily drink a gal. per day. The 2 biggest ones I could feed even more as there res is 3/4 empty by lights out (12 hrs.).
Either this weekend or next I'll get these girls tied to the stakes so they don't fall over when they fatten up.
Anyway, everything is going well for now. Cross my fingers it stays that way.

Thanks to the photos, they have really changed a lot. I am really happy for them to see their leaves grow bigger, greener, and lusher, and they bloom more buds. :thumb:
