Doozy's 2300W LED - 5x5 - Dinafem Seeds - 1st Grow

[skunnymonster]

Just watch the branches grow now though, you'll soon know there's nothing to worry about

dont be confused,sometimes we look harder at the situation,than we really need to,As long as the girls are alive,they are ok.

look at it this way,after you put the screen on,you will cut most of what is there now,away

IF it was me,I would top them,and thin them,not scalp,but pull a few off.Ideally for a scrog I like the plants to kind of look like a "candelabra"

sorry to intrude,with a picture,but something like this.she has 3 more weeks in veg,so this weekend she is getting a hair cut,everything a foot from the bottom will be gone,in one sitting,cuttings will go into the cloner,and the life cycle starts again, the screen is 3ftx5.5ft.

zero training.not very pleasant looking,but healthy as hell,gave me over 10 zips in a 3 gallon container

trimming looks great doozy
I also gave a haircut,biggest of my life,all in one sitting,felt kind of bad.but I know what will happen.

What these ladies need is more cowbell....

Before we're done here, you'll all be wearing gold plated diapers....

 

[skunnymonster]

Your plants have the stature of a cow pat & the lack of vertical growth is baffling =/

 

[Dusty Kiefers]

You gotta have more cowbell.

Yarp, they have been LST'd to fook but still......26 budsites on the one plant at 5.5 inches tall!!

Not that i'm complaining.

 

[skunnymonster]

Low & wide is the way forward bud How much longer are you giving them in veg?

 

[c526]

20+ budsites at 5.5 inches?? Id say the cow bell is working,I am not an led guy,but is an adjustment to the location needed??

good stuff doozy----oh that last pic i posted,a day later I took another bucket off,--using KingJohnC's help,I pulled a 5 gallon bucket full of fan leaves off in total.

i'm not 100% sure mate, but probably at least another 3-4 weeks. I'm playing it by ear really

I'm just goinna leave them as is, because vrertical space is an issue with these LEDs so i'm actually glad they're so short!

Wow! That's a hell of a lot of fan leaves!! You're braver than i am, haha

 

[c526]

not sure its brave,lmao.im just an experiment guy
final numbers never enter the equation in my world,what i've learned along the journey is what i'm searching for

thanks for the tip on the led spacing,Ive got zero experience with them,But this hps caveman is learning.

I would defoliate your plants more to open up the light to the nodes that become tops and colas. The goal is more even growth spread across more colas then would be produced by a plant with a single cola and larger harvests per plant by smaller plants.

Looking good !

They're coming along nicely mate They would deffo benefit from a major haircut though, it'll increase the length of the branches if you get light in there

 

[c526]

Hey doozy,where did you find the temperature displays,You are using in the water??

Pretty sure i'm gonna do a heavy defol tonight rather than LST. I'll keep you posted

 

[skunnymonster]

Good man It's a little early for LST yet imo, I like them to get a bit taller before starting training
