Homer's Legal 4-Plant Max Perpetual Minimalist Garden In Ontario

Here is some fabric I have kicking around the house I put up. Looks better than the wood pattern. I really gotta get rid of these blurples. Tomorrow I'm going to give this Amnesia plant a good trimming so it remains just eight main colas.

Granted, it is not that severe but I find when late in flower they tend to stand up straighter/longer if they are straight to begin with at this stage. But then again I do have stakes and string. :nerd-with-glasses:
 
I am not concerned with a crick in the trunk but a lean it might cause leading to a plant eventually falling over as my 1:20 did.
 
hence why my 2 cent comment

I trimmed the lower branches and leaves off my eight tertiary branches I plan on flowering so I have just eight buds. Not sure how this will work out but so far so good.

I actually haven't done any training as far as bending branches or holding them down with my Amnesia plant that I trimmed today instead all I have done is top it three times so I have eight equal tertiary bud sites. My first attempt at growing was with a scrog which worked okay but was a total pain in the butt especially when watering. I switched to quadlining which worked pretty good and did some plants with just two secondaries I called twinlining.

These methods work fine but it is a bit of work to keep changing the hold-downs so with this plant all I have done is top it so I have my eight bud sites. I let this plant grow a lot between toppings so I cut back a lot of growth when I did to try and hold the plant back. I find super cropping has its limits as far as restricting height so I am seeing if I can do it with trimming better.

Even if I have to cut off a fair bit for height I figure the roots will be oversized for the plant and produce big buds. Perhaps totally delusional but we will see. But if I can get away with just topping to restrict height and keep it to eight bud sites my trim time will be pretty good and it would be a very low maintenance system (of paramount concern with my busy life). That Gorilla Glue took I think at least three hours maybe more to trim. :oops:
 
I didn't realize until I just looked it up now but this plant is actually eight weeks and one day since breaking ground so it is pretty small for its age so it looks like my trimming method did slow it down somewhat.

I'm thinking maybe though I should have waited to trim the lower branches until I got closer to flowering time because that would produce more root growth. I may have made a mistake.

I’m interested to see how this goes Homer. It makes total sense to me that you would want to get those separate colas going - and if you can do that with just topping then that’s great! I want to do something similar later in the winter just before Spring. Just one big photo in my 2x4 that I can supercrop to fit! And grow it’s siblings outside.. :cheesygrinsmiley:
 
I wait until 21 days after the flip, then I clean up the branches
That makes a lot of sense. Note to self; no more trimming until three weeks after flip. I did sorta kinda think of it too late. In my books, that's a victory. :headbanger:

Sounds like a plan BooWho2. I find one big plant can take a pretty large area so I'm sure you'll do well in your 2 x 4. I hope she doesn't miss her siblings outside too much but at least she'll be safe from the critters. Dangerous world out there for plants. :oops:
 
Yes, wood for flooring but my black background is in use so I think I will put up some rust coloured fabric I have for now for the walls. There is a FabricLand pretty close to me so I really should check that out for background material. Suggestions are always welcome; the only thing I'm professional at is being an idiot. :p
Pictures are my thing... If i could go be a photographer for cannibas i would feel like i died and went to heaven.

Me too. I was really enjoying photographing my plants before I had my break with reality. :oops: But I am getting back into it too. :)
 
For the last couple of months my android box has been getting slower and slower both taking forever to do simple things like changing channels and buffering more and more despite resetting my modem, unplugging my modem and resetting my Android Box multiple times.

So today I downloaded Kodi (the program that runs in android boxes to give people TV and movies) and put it on my backup computer so I was streaming through my computer instead of my android box and the thing is rock stable with no buffering and quick channel changes. Not sure it will last but I'm quite surprised at the difference because I have the Nvidia Shield which is about the best android box out there and for me, it is a useless piece of junk.

Now that I have time to drill down on programs I'm really impressed with my iPhone especially the camera but some of the programs these corporations are dumping on the populace are an absolute disgrace because they are junk that just won't run right. Like Photoshop Premier Elements has a glitch where when you try to save your work the program freezes so you lose whatever you have been working on and they know the problem exists and they just won't fix it because they don't want to spend the time and money.

I don't like the Shield though because I can't access things like I can on a computer like even seeing how fast the processor is working. I think something in it has the processor going almost constantly at 100% but what I have no idea because it doesn't have a resource Monitor like Windows. I'd much rather be running on my computer where I can diagnose and see everything.

Anyway, I have a little more fiddling around to do to get things set up right but it looks like I have a rock-solid TV again which is nice. Buffering is very frustrating.

Thats sometimes the only time I get to break from reality that and this site... I could read for years and never be caught up
