Is there room for an extension like a gorilla if you need?
Not really- when I mounted the
@NextLight 420h , my inside height changed from 44" to 48", but that's about as much as I can extend the box without adding more cardboard
I think I can probably keep her short enough...but I'll know a little more once I see how she's going to grow...
so far, so good, but she's only 23 days old...
I've got ya covered, Trala!
And now it's time for a little
Update on the 23 day old GSC (and the others, but things have changed with the autos)
First, the GSC was topped 6 days ago, up-potted to a 5 gallon pot on Saturday, and today the branches are finally long enough to tie down.
Here she is before any training - as I said before, she is a very healthy little plant- seems real happy with 3g/gallon of mc..
So, before you start training, locate/manufacture 8 of these, or something similar, to hold the branches down...We start with 8, going to need a lot more of 'em as the training progresses...
Then, we need to open the top up a little ...
Then we start carefully tying branches down, starting with the bottom node, which is actually node 2, since node 1 got shaved off because it wasn't growing worth a crap......
We're not trying to bend the branches flat right now- we're just going to bend them down a little, and then a little more an hour or so from now- go about it gradually, and you won't break anything off...
Then up to node#3- same thing, be careful- remember, we're just bending them down a little at this time,
in an hour or 2, you can bend them down a little more if you want...
And finally, node#4 - be extra careful with these, as they tend to break off a lot easier than the other branches.
So, here's what we end up with- 6 branches (and 2 fan leaves) tied down
Here's what you should see from above the plant--it looks a little confusing, but you know what all the sticks are doing, so it shouldn't be..
That took about ten minutes to do, so it's not real time consuming- however- you'll need to check and adjust the hooks every day or so, and add more as needed, so it is something of a commitment, but it's worth it in the end....
Any questions about the training, don't be afraid to ask!
So much for that one, now we'll look in on the auto situation, which has changed a bit-
These 2 (actually 3, but you can't see the tiny one) got moved outdoors- they weren't growing like they need to, so I decided not to waste any more indoor space on them...if they're going to stay tiny, they can do it out here...They'll be fed
@GeoFlora Nutrients from here on in, just because it's easier when they're growing in the ground.
They may surprise me, and start growing like crazy, but I really don't think that's going to happen...
So here's what's replacing those 2:
A Wookiees f2 (first one was a f1) ,and a DarkDevil auto from a very special lady
here on the forum
They've been in the cups for about 36 hours, after soaking in distilled water with a bit of H202 for 24 hours. Hopefully, I'll have 2 sprouts by this time tomorrow...or not, we'll see...
And I guess that's about all for now-
Thanks for looking, I appreciate the support
And please, stay as safe as possible out there...
with the autos, in-ground and in-cups.
