Top of the page Friday update on the Purple Ghost Candy from @SeedsMan!
Today (day 45) there are nine nodes on the plant and it's completely recovered from the upcan, so it was time to give it the old snipperoo.
Here it was before the scissors came out:
It's got a full nine nodes and working on number ten:
Off with its head!
Here's the top:
And now that the idea is to get the lowers to grow up to the canopy, it was time to make sure nothing slowed them down, like this undergrowth:
Any lower branch (not the top three) that had growth along its length got it removed. I don't want my lowers growing lowers, only end flowers. Here are the two lowest nodes cleaned (along with some thrip damage):
And this is what came of in its entirety:
It doesn't look like much but the plant won't waste any energy making those bigger.
The CapJunky isn't as tall so I'm going to wait a little longer before I top that one.
for following along with this Seedsman comparative grow!
