I thought I'd how in an update on the current Blue Dream. It is 14 days AF (after flip). This one took a while to start forming the "budlets".
Here's a side view of above the skirt.

A note on this training style:Crescendo
Laura
Flower/Stretch Watch Day 6
Training through the stretch. When it’s over the lower canopy will be a filled mess. At that point I will do some strategic elimination. She’s nice and wide now.
When training through the stretch and evening out your lower ring, it is all about timing and letting the plant get some stem under the new growth. If you’re timing is good and you get lucky, you will be able to turn side branching into colas for your outer ring.
Here’s how she looks after some significant evening out and turning side branching into outer colas. The closeup is one of them.

Day 23
Decided to go with a Sombrero Duo for this girl. 8-cola outer ring, 2 towers. Only the one main shoot topping. Going with the less is more theory here. Last picture with the big fans tucked away you can see it best.

Your Duo Sombrero training is a very visually appealing technique. The two middle spires are like a focal point in a good photograph.

I guess so @Azimuth! It makes taking decent photos pretty easy. I also recently saw that Dust posted a smaller plant that looked as if he may have tried it, and it works on any scale - his plant looked great and he got two very nice towers. First time I’d seen it used on a small plant. Not sure he was intentionally trying to use my style, one cuz it’s not mine (lol!) and secondly I’m not in his head. I’m psyched about the Quad on the Sombrero on the Crescendo. Rarely do the four catch up as evenly as these four have. Should look awesome in a month.Your Duo Sombrero training is a very visually appealing technique. The two middle spires are like a focal point in a good photograph.

I’m starting to have faith in the less colas is more theory, beyond the visual appeal. The Mac and Jack only had 10. She’s a lot of ounces. It allows the colas to all get big and since you aren’t choking the canopy out with tops all your lower growth has a chance to get great light and also develop appreciable weight. You saw how much space there was on her between her mains. The extra space also allows you to keep maximum amount of leaves if you want to.
And better air flow for less mold potential.

Crescendo
Training Info
I use the phrase “get some stem under it” with some frequency. This is what I mean. These two branches are the very first little nodes on these branches, right off the main stem - as interior as it gets. Look how long the stems are. More stem = more nodes = more buds.

Size/Stretch Comparison
I figured the Crescendo would end up bigger than the Tropicanna Banana and smaller than the Mandarin Zkittlez. Here’s the side by side. Crescendo left, Tropicanna Banana right. Crescendo Day 6, Tropicanna Banana Day 16 (flower).
I’m sticking by the original prediction.

The Transition
A Step by Step Guide to my Lunacy
Bringing the Res into Play
Ok guys, this is a longish post but it will show you step by step what I did to prep our intrepid auto for the rest of her life.
Here we go:
1. Trace around base of pot on lid to the 5-gallon bucket.
2. Use this tool to cut out hole.
3. Cut hole and insert pot. This requires bending the lid up around each outcropping in the air pot one at a time all the way around, then again to get it two outcroppings deep off the bottom.
4. For added support and to help ensure the pot stays in place and doesn’t fall into the bucket (lol), I used bamboo skewers and broke them short, doubled them up, and inserted all the way around as shown.
5. Use this drill to drill two holes, one on each side, for the hoses/air stones.
6. I am using these two stones and these two pumps.
7. I then Inserted the air stones, giving us a finished top with the plant, then filled the 5-gallon bucket to the top almost with week 4 of veg of the @Prescription Blend feedchart, placed the bucket on a solid brick base in the tent, placed the top on, plugged in the pumps, and off we go!!!
8. Here’s the distance to the light. She is getting around 750 ppfd.
9. And here’s a closeup of where the pot and lid meet, showing bubbles from the airstones. Heh. The two inches of pot that are in the water are all perlite and hopefully by now some roots.
Game on!!!

The @ViparSpectra light is in the house!
Thank you ViparSpectra!!
I’m in process of cleaning and prepping the tent for the light switch. In a few days when it’s ready to go I will begin the dedicated journal to highlight this light. It will begin with the unboxing of the light and the assembly. Can’t wait!!

Time for some support for the Crescendo. Laura’s colas are getting tall now. Each one has its own pole.

This is the remnants of the Mac and Jack. Check out how thick the branches are. This is why those colas were so huge and bulky. Tha main stem at the pot ain’t too bad either.
