Featherleaf's Perpetual Grow

[Featherleaf]

Gave the flowering girls a heavy watering, no nutrients. When I feed them next, they will be little hungry but not droopy.
Pics of my 3 monsters. Took pics out of the tent so you guys could get a good look in better lighting.
I defoliated any large fan leaves that were both covering buds and losing color.
My 2 LSD plants and 1 Damnesia plant, and a group shot of them all

The last pic shows the type of branching I LST and super crop to achieve.
In veg I tie branches down. After I top, I tie the 2 new tops down aggressively to maintain a flat canopy.

Some sweet looking buds you have there leafy!!!

Cheers,

Here is a group shot of everything I have in veg right now. All are female or feminized. When the F1 Hybrids enter veg, I am going to put them in my smaller tent so they have direct light instead of sharing space.
1 Damnesia
3 GG Allin
3 Snowflake Kush
6 LSD clones

Beauuuutiful featherleaf!

Awesome buds. You got ya training on lockdown!

Thanks mate ^_^! Im happy I found those plastic garden stakes, will make a uniform training method much easier in future instead of using soft cotton string, tying loops was a bitch.

The next time I defoliate will be when I give the girls their first round of flush in a few weeks, and Ill take off almost every leaf that doesnt have sugar on it. If a strain says 7-9 weeks, I defoliate and flush at 7 weeks and harvest at 8.5-9.
I am going to try something this harvest, I am going to take clones from the bottom of the finished plants. My buddy has been telling me to try it for ages, "monster cropping". He takes clones at week 3 and at the end of harvest, and the results are intimidating. That Damnesia cutting I got was done this way, and she is almost 3 times the size of any of my plants right now. When she entered the garden she was 1/3 the size of every plant. Ive already shared a pic of this before, but here it is again, Damnesia in the middle.
Ill likely take clones from just the LSD Indica 1 and the Damnesia, and not bother with the other phenos.

How many grows have you completed previously? Really know your stuff.

Hey mate! Ive had 5 harvests, but I also have plants in veg and clone at all times which makes learning easier and faster as there is more plants to learn from . Problem a lot of people have online is using bad genetics and being afraid to try new things. I think a lot of my possible knowledge is just good genetics and being occasionally bold ... And occasionally stupid, like, snapping a branch in half when trying to super crop :S but now I have an exact idea of how to bend and twist correctly lol.

Ive also had access to 2 different gardens, and they put up with my relentless questions HAHA. I got mad respect for older growers, Im still so new to growing, but I love learning <3 I am hopefully doing a strain swap with one of them very soon!!!!

Mixing nutrients for the flowering ladies going into week 6 in a few days. As usual, I will put 5-10 litres aside for the plants in veg before adding the flowering nutrients. Will post pics tonight of all my girls, including the 2 smaller pots.
Cutting out Roots Accelerator completely.
Backing off the A, & B and Amino Treatment by 1/2. Multizyme and Terpinator go in as usual.
Increasing Bud XL to 1ml per litre and adding Top Booster at 1.5 ml per litre.

Transplanted the best 3 F1 seedlings, the other 2 had no roots at all so I left them behind as the ones with roots had 3 inch tap roots!! I am going to set up the small veg tent with the larger LED light so the seedlings dont have to fight for light. Because its an LED light I will need to set up the seedling mat too.
So lets look at how we are doing after all has been planted! Heres a group shot of EVERYTHING that isnt flowering, so what we got?!
3 Snowflake Kush fem seedlings
4 Dark Dream reg seedlings (Blue Dream x The Black)
3 F1 Hybrid fem seedlings (Northern Lights x G13 x Master Kush
5 LSD Indica phenotype 1 clones, females (2 big girls, 3 baby clones)
1 Damnesia clone, female (I will be putting a tomato cage around this girl VERY soon)
3 GG Allin plants, females

 

[Featherleaf]

Turned the new tent on, lights, heat mat, vent etc. Clone/seedling tent is off for now and not in use.
I put the 3 Snowflake Kush and 3 F1 seedlings into the new tent on their own.
SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[lazyfish]

Nice. Are those snowflake kushes regulars or fem?

 

[Featherleaf]

Fem thankfully

Shot of my flowering girls, apologies for the light but they weren't ready for a feed yet so in the tent under their HPS they stay. I want them to dry out 1 more day.
Now that they dont need maintainence, I like to interact with them as LITTLE as possible to limit stress in their late flowering period.
My rule when it comes to growing buds is to NEVER EVER touch the actual growing buds unless I'm harvesting. I just dont think it's a good habit, personal opinion.

Took out my baby LSD clones, the 3 plants that will eventually enter the flower chamber together. Gave them all a light nutrient feeding with Accent Solution at 5ml p litre. I also topped them as usual with plenty of nodes to choose from.
Put my canopy ring around the Damnesia, her tops are only a few days away from being under the ring

 

[Featherleaf]

Enjoy! I took out my 2 monsters last night and did some defoliating.
Some sad news, I had to take down my Damnesia plant due to spotting some herming. Not surprising that its the only plant herming when its the only plant I didnt hunt myself, was given to me as a trade of clones. Very dissapointing very upsetting, however, thats now 1 less strain I have to worry about caring for right?

I took loads of electrical cable from a worksite i was on so im golden for garden stakes at the minute lol
