Thought of this, but then I have to weave the colas in from above. I can’t take that chance in a chair.Get another net, go for 3 you animal!! The plants look fantastic! All you need is another black net similar to what you have, use the corner clips they come with and you should be set until you grow your next monster and have to use 4 nets!
Me too @Vegan4life, and that’s what I’ve decided to do. Thanks.
The space inside the pot must be filled with roots cuz they’re popping out of every single hole I drilled and beginning to work in the rest of the res. Wow.
Thanks! Ok great. I’m simply using the same feed I give them up top. Sounds like I am okay to not change yet.Man she looks fantastic. For reference, my well water is 100ppm. I feed seedlings at 250-500 ppm. Full veg up to 1000ppm. Right now I'm in the 3rd week of flower at 1400-1500ppm (3ec). I'm pushing it a little

I found if u cut that main cola. Produces better when got really good stemsMelissa and Medusa
Training
As you see them here represents an attempt at improving in the training style I tried on the last Watermelon WeddingCake. That plant, Titan, had two main colas, a lower ring, and a bunch of colas that made a half accidental middle ring of sorts. But largely that was as much lucky as it was good training. However, I realized the yield potential in this style and also realized what needs to change to max this style out (I think, lol).
So both of these plants are trained per this style, you can clearly see the similarity now. These will have four mains instead of two. That is going to mean the upper colas forming the top “ring” will end up around twice as wide (circumference) as on Titan with two colas. This means much of what is directly beneath it, ie, around the center stem of the plant, will not get adequate light. So this time, rather than create flarf in those spots, I am keeping the middle of the plants as clean as possible. The idea is that the outer, lower ring ends up wider than the center stack of colas to a decent degree. That way, the light hogging/blocking factor is eliminated, and relative to light, both sets get what they need and almost operate independently if that makes sense. This training style is much more likely to succeed under a bar light vs. a center mounted light, for obvious reasons. I have light everywhere all the time.
One of the things I learned last time is that the ppfd difference between the upper colas and the lower ring is going to be in the neighborhood of 200 points difference, due to their relative heights. I adjust as required, but basically go hot up top as much as I dare to keep that 200 points from negatively impacting the lower ring.
I hope that makes sense. Just trying to share what I’m trying. Comments, criticism, suggestions and questions are all quite welcome. Thanks guys!

I don’t know how I could feed at any higher? The res is filled with the Prescription Blend flower mix, same as up top, and it stays the same all the way through. So how would I feed them more?Hey Jon!
My Rule of thumb is when 60% of original solution has been consumed by the plant (s). Top with plain RO in between to fill line in reservoir
Since you didn't have an original PPM, change in a day or two.
130PPM is extremely light, as mentioned above. I start my seedlings at that amount of just cal mag (1-0-0).

Her tops by the end may not be the prettiest- but you will have a massive haul of wicked buds
Yeah I know what’s up in the scrog now. I think I found the balance point I was looking for. At this point it’s just like any other plant I’ve grown. Only not in my wildest dreams did I expect this plant to crowd the light. Lmao.Hey Jon!

It’s really almost like two plants at this point. The top needs some trimming of branches.Yesterday this plant was not yet up to the white bar on the left. I call that exponential growth. Stretch girl, stretch!
