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

Watch a few videos. Bending back and forth might split it so squeezing with your fingers is important.

Yeah squeezing and gently bending simultaneously. Easy Peasy.CL

 

[CaptainLucky]

I have to confess though the one I did was a lot thicker and more limber. The GTs are pretty firm. CL

Hehe enjoyed my catch up!

Yes, we know mate

Sounds like not my kind of job

Sounds ridiculously like the kind of thing I’m not suited to / & Co would agree.

But yeah, roll them around. A bit of nail, and gaffer tape (duct tape for NA) to hand or electrical more rubbery stuff for smaller stuff and you are OK, I reckon. Just make sure get nice coloured tape, bro!

What does GT stand for again? Is it a Thai lady? Be careful pal!

Golden Tiger n El Capitan miedos no mujer. Aqui gatito gatito. CL

Update: All my young ladies have been fed/watered according to their individual preferences. That’s about all that was done today in my garden . A good friend of mine’s Mother has passed. I spent the day helping my bro keep busy/ distracted. I hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend. CL

 

[CaptainLucky]

Update: @InTheShed I’m hoping I did this right. I watched several videos on it and twisted, bent, and used my thumbnail to fold them over then tie to the stakes. Any thoughts, ideas or criticisms? CL

 

[InTheShed]

No breaks... perfect!

Give it a week and then it will probably be time to shape it again.

Hehe. Reminds me of a Scottish guy I had as a boss on a summer job,

“Its nae bad pal, you’ve done a half decent job, I suppose”
(When I knew I had done it close on perfect)
“But dinnae get aheed of yersel like. Do it it better next time and better again the time after, that’s where the skill comes like. Now F off and get us each a mug of tea and a bacon butty on my account down the shop, I need some scran in me watching you do all that work”

Looking great Cap’n!

I watched one video where he was breaking the inerds every 1/2”. Says it makes it stronger so when it’s heavy with buds it doesn’t need any support. CL

 

[CaptainLucky]

Update: I did super cropping on my GT. And used almost another gl. of @Prescription Blend + 1/2 gl. of water feeding my girls. I still haven’t uppoted my Sour G. I’d like to go to about the same size as the others before the 5 gl. But I need another pot. Have to see what I can find around the house n garage. Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. CL.

 

[InTheShed]

What's the final pot size going to be for the GT? Are they all going to be 5 gallon?

 

[CaptainLucky]

Yeah ,I think otherwise they’ll be root bound. 5 gallon grow bags.CL

 

[CaptainLucky]

Btw I know I don’t have enuff OF+HF left so gonna have to order some lime. CL

 

[CaptainLucky]

Update: I messed around with the @Prescription Blend %s and my GT has mild nute burn. My Chocolate Thai is growing faster and my Panama doesn’t seem to like it so I backed down on it. Lesson learned,I’m not going to change anything until it’s recommended time. I’m going to have to do some more trimming in the near future. I’m pretty sure I have each one’s percentages down now and no need to change anything. My Sour G is the only one that doesn’t mind pure RX and she is drinking more n looking good. CL

 

[InTheShed]

GT is looking nice and compact after the training, and there's an expression around this site that goes something like "if you're not burning the tips you're not trying hard enough."

 

[CaptainLucky]

Update; With the outdoor temperature now being in the 60-70s I’m either going to have to turn on the Central a.c. or purchase a portable unit. It’s getting harder to keep the temperature down.Smh CL

 

[InTheShed]

Can you dismount the driver and put it outside the tent? That usually cuts down on the heat a fair bit.
