CaptainLucky's First Indoor Golden Tiger Grow 2023

[Melville Hobbes]

It’s a knuckle like on branches from being broken or bent to far. CL

Ahh, good. I thought that might be the case but I was worried it might be a gall from an insect burrowing in.

 

[CaptainLucky]

Thats what I thought, a bit rough on them babies or did it grow that way?

I’m really not sure what happened to it but one day it wouldn’t stay up n that’s when I put in the support. CL

 

[CaptainLucky]

I hope these flix are enuff for you to get a better idea about how we will want to handle this issue Sensei. CL

Thanks Captain! I'll put a diagram together with my inclinations in the morning.

I'd bend one of the two tall branches over the pot and tie it to the other side.

No, all are going to be grown in the one. CL

Update: All of my ladies are looking healthy n happy. They were all given their daily @Prescription Blend as well. No trimming or training even though they are in need of some I don’t want to over stress them. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. CL

I had a similar thought but to do both those taller branches hanging off the side. Like this:

Then tie them to a support post to keep them from falling down.

Gotta fill in the center and keep it from getting too wide in veg.

@CaptainLucky , I'd be super cropping the hell out of it.

She will stretch 3-4 times her starting height and you'll probably find that you'll be super cropping branches every 3 or 4 days until the stretch is over.

 

[Hombre del Monte]

I'm assuming you intend to go 11/13?

Yeah I’m pretty sure that’s what Ace recommended. CL

Most definitely.
The stretch in GT is severe.

Continue to go easy on the nutrients with her right up until the peak of flowering.

I think I have each strains nutrient % figured out for now but I’m sure once flipped it’ll change. CL

@InTheShed I’m hoping these pictures are better for what you want me to do, seeing that I only have one try I want to be sure I’m doing it correctly. CL

Those two massive branches that are hanging off the edge are the ones I'm talking about.

I'm guessing at the fold point, but it should be about the height of the two shorter branches in front.

Watch a few videos on how to supercrop so you get an understanding of how it's done. Don't use the first one you watch as a guide...watch a few until you find a consensus.

Basically it's about squeezing the stem between your fingers until you feel the inner structure crush without damage to the skin of the branch, and then you lay it into the position you want it to go. You're best off supporting them with stakes so they don't drop below 90º from their own weight now or as they grow.

Now I have to do it all over again.

I use my snow sleigh to move snow out of tight quarters like that. Load it up & drag it backwards

Yeah I did it with an auto last year and managed not to kill it but it was way too far along for any benefit. Just gently bend it back and forth as it’s giving a little more correct? CL
