Lol. That IS them drooping. That's as droopy as they get. Lol.Where's the pre-darkness droop? They're supposed to be drooping. You may want to check on that.
Lol @Azimuth. Let's try and keep things in perspective shall we? I'm not exactly getting invited to compete in Cannabis Cups or anything just yet my friend. You are in plenty of journals with plants that put mine to shame. Thankfully the only person I'm competing with is myself. Otherwise, people like West Hippie would have me never growing again, lmao. But I appreciate the kindness, and they do look pretty sweet, I'll say that. Thanks.Are you keeping all these thoughts and notes organized somehow? I'm thinking there's a book in your future. "How to Grow Unusually Good Canna Plants" by Jon.
Though you should really work on that book title. That one seems a bit lacking.
Thanks. Interesting thing about Cannabis Cups - you really do have to be invited. You can't apply to be in one. The growers all know one another, they're the top of the heap. My Yoda, Sammy, the Oregon pro grower I post pics from occasionally, just got invited to compete in his first one ever. He's been growing professionally since Oregon became legal and overall for almost 40 years. That's how long it took him to develop weed that wins Cups, and to develop enough of a reputation in the industry to be known to even BE invited. Chem Dog #4 x Sour Diesel is his biggest claim to fame - that hybrid was invented by my Sammy. Almost every seed bank has a version now. Not trying to brag for him just saying there are levels, man. I'm still looking up at the ones that interest me. I have no intention of waiting 40 years to compete in a Cannabis Cup.I don't know. I'd personally stack your plants up against most any of the other grows I follow.
Don't sell yourself short. Maybe the Canna Cup people don't have your correct address.
And you probably have to be a breeder and come up with your own killer strains. Just because you can grow great plants likely doesn't mean much.
I hope that cupcake has a pudding center!
Anybody stoned out there? This one was so good I had to put it here instead of Random Photo Dumps. Lmao!
I want to be a judge!And you probably have to be a breeder and come up with your own killer strains. Just because you can grow great plants likely doesn't mean much.
That's cool he got invited. Maybe you'll get an insider's view of the process.
Wow @Jon, and I'm still amazed at your training, it's a pleasure to watchFULVIA
Flower Day 9
Canopy/Undercarriage Maintenance
Let's just go right to the pictures.
1. Undercarriage cleanup in aisle 6.
2. To achieve that I took off quite a bit. @InTheShed would be proud of me. I even removed an entire second node! Her energy should be significantly more upwardly focused now. I am much more serious about my de-flarfing these days.
3. Then we did a little creative canopy maintenance. I realized I could even out to the rest of the canopy in the overall tent (the goal in a perfect world) almost the entire left side of Fulvia's canopy. So using my tried and true twist tie/stake method with very long lengths of tie, I was able to anchor the stakes in the Jack Herer pot and reach to the pesky rogue colas on the left. Here's a picture of what I could show, it's a bit hard to see, but you should be able to make out the green ties, the sticks in the Jack pot, and the colas they're ultimately attached to if you look closely.
4. That greatly improved our left side canopy. Fulvia is all the front colas, Elora (the canopy standard) is the back ones. Pretty evenish, better than it was for sure.
5. This leaves our overall tent canopy about as flat as I can get it, leaving pretty much just these three rogues which short of supercropping I have nowhere to move to. I am not supercropping anything in this grow. All the colas on both plants come from the nodal branches. I did not at all pull any branches horizontally to create new bud sites from the new growth on these. My thinking there, besides that it lends itself easily to large plants, is that this will create much larger colas, as there is a superhighway of thick, open vein feeding each one, vs. those little thin stems with minimal growth you get from horizontal stretching and creating sites like that.
This concludes our Fulvia training and maintenance through the stretch report. Happy Tuesday.
. And as @Azimuth wrote, you can easily write a book with how you have it all described, great. 
Me too! Years ago I was watching a video a youngish woman made, she was a judge. She told us all how she was serious about this shit, she wasn't a 'bong-humper kind of chick' whatever that means lol. Anyhow she was obviously wasted, and that was the last day for her to get her vote(s) in. Then she proceeds to test about 5-6 different strains one after the other, and as I mentioned she was already wasted. How she could tell much of anything about any strain was beyond me. I figure I could do at least that well!
Both of those things are surprising to me as well. Especially since her second "feeding" of coco nute water runoff was the flowering week 1 mix, so she got an early big shot of P and K. I thought that might do her in but that was like five days ago and surely by now we'd see some sign if it were an issue. Odd.Ah, the Spud Bud. Nice green color and surprisingly to me, no bug damage!
