Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg & More! CFL's - LED - HPS

Re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg and More! CFL's/LED/HPS

If you top where indicated you'll have eight branches from lower nodes. The bottom two are pretty worthless, they could be removed to leave six branches. I'd only remove the two top fans at this point and keep them bent so they don't shade the lowest branches.

The six or eight remaining branches will grow quickly once you've topped. You can LST those once they are going strong. Pretty much what the others said except I wouldn't strip all the fans, just the top two below the cut.

Jay, do you mean remove the first node from the topped part in a few days? Just want to be sure I'm understanding it correctly. Thanks!

Oh, and would you remove the fan leaves too?

No...you guys have your nodes labeled wrong LOL the # 1 goes on the bottom it will be less confusing that way

Just one topping cut no fan leaves at all removed except the lower growth that won't be as hearty, true leaves (bottom two) and the next node up

I would do.Exactly what PeeJay said (same as me) ...except I would leave the top two fan leaves

Re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg and More! CFL's/LED/HPS

Yup Jay. Really either way would be fine so long as those two top fans don't shade the lower branches too much. The goal is to drive lower branch development so you don't want them shaded. Fans that don't shade the lower branches should be left on, IMO. If you can bend them out of the way every few days then leave the leaves.

This is what I do now...bend the top fan leaves down a little ...I get faster growth on the top node over removing the fan leaves

Just what works for me

Canna if you top at #2 and remove #5 and the true leaves below you will have this in a couple weeks

Re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg and More! CFL's/LED/HPS

Than this in a few more

I'm not tying mine down, but if I did you would see the same results. I have 8 to 12 branches on each one right now.

I really like those pics, they show much more detail..great work

So how about if I pinch the top fan leaves to make them droop? That way they are still there, but not in the way?
You guys are very helpful, and thanks for the drawing PeeJay. That helps too.

I'm heading into surgery....LOL

Re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg and More! CFL's/LED/HPS

Done!

And I put the "top" in a cube of Rapid Rooter with some rooting compound on it. We'll see what happens. I think I remember Reg trying this too. Can't remember the outcome though.

Let me know if you would trim off anything else guys. It seems to be very opened up now. I'm going to put the time lapse camera on this plant. I think that might be quite fun. ;-)

Re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg and More! CFL's/LED/HPS

Looks great Canna

...I would trim off the very bottom branches below the first set of fan leaves

 

[Jay233]

Re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg and More! CFL's/LED/HPS

I bet you are going to be hooked on training after this...it can be addicting to see what you can do...great job having the courage to try it and have fun

Re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg and More! CFL's/LED/HPS

Thanks Jay! I have so many plants right now, seedlings actually, that I can spare a couple for experimenting.

Great class on training going on here guys. I have a Wild Thailand at about the same stage in growth so I'll be referring back to this convo tomorrow for sure.

That's perfect...IMHO you will be more free to make good decisions with training if you can "spare" the plant...you will not hold back as much and will do what is needed.

Re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg and More! CFL's/LED/HPS

If my earlier post wasn't clear... my opinion is your plant should have three sets of internode branches and three sets of fans leaves going to each of those branch sets...Looks like there is some small branches still below the first set of branches and fan leaves...those will only zap energy and not turn out to be much especially since the fans leaves were already removed...Hope I explained that better

 

[Lady Cannafan]

Re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg and More! CFL's/LED/HPS

LOL, Jay. I cut the smaller fan leaves at the bottom. I'll upload a pic later. I think it will be fine. Earlier I did cut the small leaves on the bottom that I thought would "zap" energy as you stated.
I think I will top the other plant sitting next to that one too. What the heck, go fer' the gusto!

That'a girl!...go for it! ...I'm excited for you

Re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg and More! CFL's/LED/HPS

It will be nice because you will be able to compare the results (yield) to the the other plants...the trained plants will require a little longer veg for great results but well worth it

I figured as long as I'm in renovation mode today that I would consolidate the seedlings. This is the same room, I'm just making use of the closet. I hung the lights from the hanger bar. This has freed up a lot of space in the room and I have the added benefit of the light color walls to reflect the light.
There is one LED panel over a Begonia way over to the left. The Begonia seems to respond well to the Cheap LED, it loved it when I had them downstairs. Deep waxy beautiful leaves and purty flowers.
