Malawi, Golden Tiger, Wild Thailand & Apple Betty From Herbies Seeds

[Stunger]

Good work Chuck!

 

[Chuckeye]

Half way into Day 37.

I trimmed off the bottom two nodes leaving three !

The Girls now range in width from 10" to 14".

I am going to continue training them horizontally until they reach about 20" across, then I will let them Free

The next stage of trimming will be to cut off any side branches outside of ~24" circle and manicure all the branches that populate the interior and try to maintain a level canopy.

Cheers

End of Day 41...

Training continues. I'm moving some of my hooks everyday ! At 20" wide I'll stop sideways training.

BTW > Light is at the same height and the power is now @ 100% !

Each strain is now showing their individuality

The Malawi is shorter than expected. Not sure if the Air Domes are doing anything so I clamped off it's hose about four days ago and don't see any difference, yet. She is still plugging along and looks healthy enough but doesn't appear to be breaking any records. It will be interesting so see what her root ball looks like at harvest. IIRC I turned on the air a few days Before the recommended 30.

The Wild Thailand wants to grow UP. She may need the hoop training later.

Apple Betty is what I expect from an Indica.

The Golden Tiger is turning into a Bush and will need some trimming soon !

Cheers

Progressing nicely Chuck!

That's the only reason we know about it Bill!

I think so too !

Really enjoying another version of assertive training.

I used to have a space where I just them go but the trimming at harvest was a killer.

Keeping them corralled and just aiming for only large, full buds without a concern about total yield is fun

Not having to spend more than a half hour per plant for a wet trim is the Bonus

Thanks Bill, I'll be thinking of you when I'm pinned to the couch

BTW > What's a weekend ?

I've been self employed for so long what day of the week it is doesn't matter much, he, he...

Especially now that the stores are open on Sunday

Yeah, I'm that old !

Cheers

 

[Chuckeye]

Knuckles, something I've never really paid attention to...

Wondering if the length of the main stem at topping made a difference ?

What say you's ?

Cheers

Do you remember when the beer store was closed on Sunday?
Last call was 11 pm.
Don't miss drinking anymore. Hehe
I'm retired so every day is Saturday for me.
Was self employed for 30 years doing construction.
Worked 7 days a week then, dawn till dusk.
Don't miss that either.
Don't burn yourself out my friend.
Take some time for yourself.

No worries Bill, slow and steady gets you there

And a couple of naps helps, he, he..

At 69 I have finally found/accepted what is going to hurt the next day. And possibly longer

Day 46

Temps are 82F, humidity is 50%. I'm now running with the room fan off...

Nutrients increased to 4g/4L of MC an hour ago....

Air Domes were turned down to low for the last week or so, turned up to medium again.

Contemplating some serious trimming on the Golden Tiger and Apple Betty !

Cheers

 

[Chuckeye]

Maybe one more watering/feed cycle before flipping to flower !

They did like the increased feed to 4g/4L so it appears I have been slightly underfeeding....

Cheers

 

[Jonny5]

Better a little under than over

 

[Chuckeye]

Better a little under than over

Well....

Both hold back maximum growth in their own way...

I think underfeeding is easier to recover from !

The leaves that are lost don't matter in the long run..

Cheers

 

[Jonny5]

Absolutely, but lock out can be a real bitch

 

[Chuckeye]

Absolutely, but lock out can be a real bitch

Not with ProMix HP

Your comment made me think. When was the last time I had a serious burn or lockout ?

For sure when I was using AN M/G/B in a two gallon pot. But, ProMix HP is so easy to flush, 3X what you normally water with and the last one with a lesser ppm and you're Golden !

Cheers

 

[Jonny5]

That is exactly what I use in my outdoor, well that and a few amendments, Good stuff

 

[Chungo]

along for the GT ride. Just wondering if you are planning on topping her just once?

I wasn't planning on topping anymore than the first time. But, at some point I'm going to have to get in there and clean out some side branches along with lollipopping the bottom !

The original plan was to leave no more than twelve tops but she seems to want to be a Bush

I just put a couple of GT 3 seeds in H2O last night and plan on low stress training which I have never done. Most of the time I have manifolded previous plants in the past with good results. However I have seen some impressive GT plants with low stress training so I going to give it a try with these aggressive GT3's. Good luck...
