About 5.5 was the top as I recall. I don't think I've gotten to 6 in over a year. That seems to be the area that pushes the boundaries of the ratios involved.

Are you talking about autos or photos or both...asking for a friend?
LOL! I didn't find autos any different from photos other than how fast you need to ramp up the nutes given the short veg time for autos.

Awesome so far! This grow was extremely enjoyable to look at. Those girls look amazing! I definitely liked It a lot!
Do you enjoy denser, heavier buds? If you do, or are you more on the side of yield wise, because there are plenty of bud densers on the market that will definitely make those buds rock hard once blooming begins.

to my journal, CT. I would love denser, heavier buds at some point. Right now, I'm just trying training for the first time. I haven't even been growing a year yet so there's lots to learn still. Thankfully, I have a lot of good members on board to help me.

That sounds great girl.
I definitely want to see you growing more.I’ve been growing for over 2 years, and would love to do more strain crossed growing In the future. I’m thinking about crossing Fruity Pebbles with Blueberry Yum Yum In my next grow after harvest Is finished.
I have plenty of OGs, and Haze strains to last me a good 6 grows. Trying something new for now. Really would like to cross a few of those Hazes/OGs to make more seeds out these strains. Purchasing a whole set of new strain genetics from a friends of mine from AlterEgo genetics. Plus a new light would be great. Something like a Mars hydro.
As for your grow, I’ll be tuned In, and enjoy the grow as It goes. Definitely try Terpinator, you’ll get heavy trichome production, plus the smell on those girls will Improve drastically. ^_^

*** WEEKLY UPDATE ***
Good afternoon, folks. It was another busy week in the garden. In addition to the following info, I also put the Carnival into flower on March 27th and I topped DDA3 yesterday.
First up in the photos are the Alpine Stars.

I'll start a new post for the rest of them.

Carnival (I'm surprised how short and bushy she is considering she's a sativa. I know she's been topped but the Raspberry Cough was also topped and it's taller):
DDA1:
DDA2:
DDA3:
Raspberry Cough:
And, that's it. Let me know if you see anything I should address.
Looking good! I think the Carnival could have used a cleanup before you flipped it, but you can always thin it out (like the others) after stretch is finished. Also, my Carnival never took on the look of a sativa either, so that's not anything to worry about.
Here is mine on harvest day:

Great! That's a relief. Thanks, Shed.
Yeah, she's really hard to water since she's so squat and bushy and she's being held down with ties that are attached to the pot, too so that doesn't help. You said before that it's the first two weeks that they do their first (only) stretch before harvest?

21 days is the standard for when stretch is over, roughly!

Our bathroom smells so good.
I harvested DDA1 today. I'll be lucky to get 5 grams from it. I'll probably just use it for smoking / vaping.

I grew out 2 CBD autos this grow which turned out to be very small little runts not much bigger than your DDA. However, I am keen to watch how your Alpine Star CBD grow out, I'm hoping you get decent sized plants for harvest.

Thanks, Stunger.
I'm also hoping we get a great Alpine Star harvest but I'm hoping for 2 reasons:
- Lots of CBD is always a good thing.
- If we get a great CBD yield, our summer grow will be all recreational.

Good day, all.
Other than watering and feeding all my plants this week, the only real updates are that I harvested DDA1 and I LSTed DDA2 and 3. Here are the photos. They will take up a few posts.

And, that's it. Let me know if you see any issues and thank you for stopping by.
Lots of happy-looking plants! I remember one of Sue's last Carnivals was a big caldera-shaped plant, so it can take on about any shape you train it to be.
On the DDA training, the one that's bent over should have some support lower on the trunk in the opposite direction from the bend, to make sure it's unstressed. Like this:
And on the taller topped one, you should try to slowly get those tops flat to encourage the lowers to catch up. If they stay upright the plant doesn't redirect the growth hormones to the lowers.

Thanks, Shed.
I wasn't sure how to stabilize the lower trunk. You had used a small rock in your LST tutorial but I didn't have any of those so I was looking for something else to use. Any suggestions?
I have pipe cleaners on the way to use as well.
