Nick Hardy's Skunk Works #2 The Giant SIP Outdoor Soil: Thailand!

Growing well
Yeah I should probably stay away longer 😂

Res is still full and also huge rains the last week. Cars in the party town bit of the island nearly floating off. Very pleased she’s that side of the house!
 
A topping and some lst. Looking good. Getting tall.
My immediate thought on seeing the photo was “Fuuu” I missed the LST window again!!! Then I scrambled and was like “oh been quadded/topped yet or not?!!”

We top at point with two nodes growing closer together. That’s been the sum total of our Growth Management and Design Department skills on all our previous grows. Maybe that Strawberry Solo Dynomyco comp. But this grow its critical - I even pre laid a training blue pipe that taunts me every time I worry I missed it 😆
But no - f-yeah I have another chance! (I’ll miss it anyway 😂)

Found the strain juste ce soir
 
Like honestly the easiest plant ever (if you ignore the fact its a 40 gallon (?) garbage can took two attempts to build right 😂)

I always thought that I wanted the “tree line” for fluxing type stuff to grow a “hedge” just below the balcony line. Maybe the bar below?

I have two spots marked out for topping/quad dying having seen her now. Be interesting anyone has an opinion - looking at & Co’s photos of our own plants has been so hard! I just can’t read a plant in a photo so much - not the details. This one is banging despite a bit of droop at dusk but you know…

Apart form being rotated by 180 degrees she has has zero attention in 10 Days - this is a solid thumbs up for lazy growers like me! Add in days of tropical storms / lass done great!

First picture is for where to top - there’s an obvious one for me.

Was she a cutting or a Feminized seed?

She’s same the Red Hot Cookies from @sweetseeds I sent to some guy in the land down under.

Grew out 4/8 lost two in a wager and have two left.

From seed untrained. Brilliant seed provider no BS the other three all banging as well. Just hope we get the red pheno to match the garbage bucket!

Ah the Woman in red she's looking good going to be a monster
 
Just gonna top by eye after a chat with & Co - one area where the farm girl plays better than any theory as a newbie grower. Instinct. Sometimes tune out the sensors and words. What do your eyes tell you?

I kinda envisaged growing out at the lines I drew on the photo below. A live photo - went to take it and one of the chef hangers on was hanging out on the street asking where & Co was 😂

Think of the two spots at those heights we’re maybe a bit above that.

We’ve never had firm rules on which node but never disagreed on which one.

Its gotta look like 4 close together nodes N/E\S\W within a centimetre/half inch is what we look for. Don’t care its the fifth grow after mid autumn festival (you got Chinese friends big family festival tomorrow!) we cut where looks right.

Betcha & Co agrees tomorrow with my marks!

We have many options at #1 and #2

We honestly just look at multi node spacing. Doesn’t seem how people more formally talk about it / we just do with what looks 4 plus branches close together! No especial science behind it.

No need to follow a rule - ever 🤣 maybe

If you're actually going to light-dep it for flip
! We have no choice with 12/12 natural sunlight!

100% I get your choices! They were one first! (Phew! I totally get why you picked them and hoped of anyone you’d have given an opinion)

The height to balcony bars for support and light ingress is important to me - I’m
giving & Co no prep on this on my “touchy feely” - she has no idea other than a bit of blue pipe and this one thing I said “we really actually should train, honey!”
😄

Having feedback Shed super valuable - much appreciated 🙏🏼

For me / with a wide space on the Y axis and more restricted on the X and its a cookie bushy I feel like cut lower?

Zero science and def not experience!

@Azimuth - what do you reckon? Shed has gone “High” I’m more “Low”
 
Air flow/humidity isn’t an issue here @InTheShed its background but in our tents/room its exaggerated background - outdoor think Florida Jon’s conditions. Bit stronger wind (I’ve been there - not
Jon’s place the state 😅)

Dunno though turns out a massive SIP works!

We should get pre packed SIP plus medium unzip / add water grow in the AziShed (TM) pot available on Amazon or whatever. It seems to work.
 
Sounds like a Lebanese reataurant name “Shedazi”

Love the sense of hummus about it!

🤣
Nah, restaurant would have to be Scottish - InTheMuth
 
@Azimuth - what do you reckon? Shed has gone “High” I’m more “Low”
I would pick the upper of your two marks. Lower than Shed, but still gives you some lower growth to work with and probably easier to train along the balcony if that's what you decide to do.
 
🤣🤣🤣

Turns out & Co is a Shed kinda girl!

The clippers are where I wanted to go - her fingers are where she wants.

But she also wants a banging clone off it which apparently she is now selling and upping the price 😂

Dunno - she’s off to get Co2 for the other grows so out the house for 40-45 minutes.

“I got the con” as Denzil Washington and Sean Connery both said on camera.

With great power comes great responsibility!

Its great that two such practiced growers gave an opinion - thank you both. All mistakes on me!

(Oh the demedterous (sp) earth going on this evening and the old SIP in the background & Co asked for to use for a test for the kid about to be a father in two weeks 😂

🤣

Good to be home.

the kid about to be a father in two weeks
That flew by! Wishing the household well and lots of lovely baby times to come.

If it's not too late Nick, I would have gone with Azi on this one. My instinct for this is definitely a lower cut. I would possibly have gone to your upper mark.
