I’m destined to never win that coveted title.
Imho it’s the hardest contest to win. Thanks though. I’ll definitely take that under advisement. I like it too. Got lucky.
You and me so far. Not giving up though.I’m destined to never win that coveted title.
I found that I have to lollypop my TB to get nice buds plus it's easer come chop daySide by side, the Crescendo overtook the Tropicanna Banana as expected, but also less so than expected. This is when I wonder and suspect that had I chosen to remove all that lower interior growth would it had stretched more? Yes, that likely would have made the colas bigger at the end but would it have stretched more? I think maybe it would have.
Man are these girls happy. And thus, me too.
Sometimes I am aware of the folly of connecting my emotional reality to the condition of my plants.
Here’s the side by side and the TB after her haircut today.
Thanks @Joe Brewster - next time I’ll try it that way. These are fairly limited though and I’m happy with it. They’ll get plenty big and everything is getting tons of light. It’ll be relatively flarf free and I’m guess will come in around 4-5-6 ounces? There’s an ounce or two of buds in the small growth I kept. But I really appreciate your point about making it easier come chop and post chop. Small buds are a pain in the ass and they dry faster so you have to watch them carefully and then you have to go through the whole “does this one make the jars, is this one worth trimming” thing…I hear you!
I don't have a monster light 325 w in a 4x4 so I try to maximize what I have
Well that’s especially interesting because I got my sponsored @ViparSpectra light and am getting ready to fire up that 350 watt beauty in my 3x3. It sounds as if your approach will be preferable. Gracias.
Btw - just dropped the seed for this grow. Humboldt’s Dream from Humboldt Seed Company. Feminized photo. Start to finish in the tent. If that doesn’t pop perfectly I’m switching up to a Mimosa from Blimburn seeds. But the reason I post is, this seed I just dropped in a cup of water immediately sank to the bottom. It’s a juicy looking seed too. Never had that happen before. They always float at first.How about a sneak peek at our upcoming @ViparSpectra grow?
I spent today getting the new and improved 3x3 infrastructure set up. I’m putting the peek here because for one, it’s the only advance advertising I can do (lol), and two, most of you guys are familiar with what was and might appreciate it. I know @Bill284 will because it’s about as fire proof as I can be. Heh.
So what I did was:
- turned the tent 90 degrees so that the new and relatively unused side door is now the front. This put my AC vents on the back wall and the side that faces the street. This was a way cheap $89 tent I got intending to last one grow. Lol. It’s ok, but has a few holes. Especially on the side with the old door.
- that old door is now facing the street and to eliminate any issues with ambient light from outside that comes in the garage which has to stay open some, I covered it with a painter blanket. I also covered the top. This will also help insulate it and keep the environment steady.
- the AC unit is now on the back side. This eliminates any light that would get in from the late sun shining on the back of the AC unit. I believe that’s what accounted for the occasional seeds I had in the Apple Blossom and such.
- since the AC is now on the backside and may exude water, I took all the cords off the floor and set up a table for them, as well as tightening up the cables.
- this was in part made possible by the existence of the detached driver on the light. WOW what an advantage. Allowed me to put the light where you see it.
- eliminated the old soil pots for holding fans and such. This was another potential problem issue. Replaced with all plastic.
- set up the fans I’ll need AHEAD of time (what a concept). I already know what and where and when I’ll need them. But once they’re set up it eliminates the need to set a thing in there around a growing plant.
- all that was after a thorough tent clean with warm water and H2O2 and lemon juice.
That’s a ton of work for this dude. I believe the good folks at ViparSpectra will be pleased with it.
I’ll of course go into much more detail on the light when I begin in a few more days.
Sorry, gotta wait til then to see this girl lit up. Lol!
How’s that for a teaser? Heh.
