Looking nice and flat and even so far! Nice training.


I put small rocks between the soil and the lower leaves I don't want to remove.

Thanks, Shed. I have been lucky so far with my training and they are behaving pretty well.

I find lower leaves make watering more difficult so I usually remove the lower ones before long so I may just leave them the way they are and get rid of them when they look sick. I guess it is agreed to not let leaves touch the soil and I wonder why? I find it does seem to make them sick; anyone know why?
 
Day 43 of Veg. :party:

Still amazed at how much growth I get every day at this stage. Most of the vertical growth is from the secondary branches off the main four on my quadlining WW . I am just going to keep tying down the main four and let everything else go vertical.

I made my vegging room nice and big so I can fit my box fan and my bucket to sit on when I do my training. I like having just two plants at a time at each stage because I can really concentrate on training them properly without it being a big task and I actually look forward to it.

Surprised how much the humidity varies over 24 hours in my basement but if you see my highs and lows for 24 hours I am still barely within limits. Looks like the dehumidifier might have come on soon.

In these pics you can see that stretch I’m talking about on the secondary branches.

I removed some bottom leaves on each plant so now nothing is touching the earth. I prefer it that way anyways for watering so it was inevitable. Besides this is a minimalist grow so fundamentally I couldn't bring in stones, lol.

Those inners are really outpacing the mains! Are you going to let the mains catch up eventually?

Yes, they seem to have gone crazy the last 2 days. Not really sure what I will do. Usually, by this time my last crop is done so, I am ready to flower and let everything go vertical but they have another week or so to go since I started them earlier just being 2 plants. If the secondaries get too tall I may tie them down or supercrop them but hopefully once I let the mains go they will catch up, time will tell. Stay tuned, lol.. :thumb:

Day 44 of Veg

Nothing too exciting going on other than my secondaries on my WW growing faster than anticipated but not a real problem yet as far as my canopy staying level goes. I tested my trichomes on my budding plants and I have probably another week to go before these get flipped at a min so my timing doesn't seem too bad. They already take up an area of 1.5 x 2.5 feet so they should fill my 3'x3' once they grow a bit more and stretch.

How tall are the mains compared to the middle if you cut them loose?

Thank you Bean Town.

This is what stretch looks like.

I was under the impression stretch came just after they were flipped and this is still on veg? One might have thought maybe my lights were too far away but I have them at the same 18" I have with all my plants and I know from experience if I go closer they will burn the leaves so not sure why she is stetching.

Remove all that low inner growth clean her up a bit.

I took your advice and cleaned them up a bit. Can I ask why you recommended it?

Hey Shed. The mains are about 9 inches long and the longest secondaries are about 7 inches. My two plants are pretty close in height so if that continues I think I will just continue on the way I have but maybe let the mains come up a bit. I found in the past the mains seem to find the canopy no matter how long they are held down.
 
Good info! Thanks Homer :).

Thanks for the reply BeanTownFan. I find it easier to stick with something if I know why I am doing it; appreciate the info. :thumb:
