Pennywise Strikes Again

[Homer Simpson]

I do this, or whatever you want to call it, to my plants. Photo, auto, it don’t make a shit. I prefer it to scrogging for several reasons. First, teardown/cleanup is easier. Second, I feel it trains better. Third, your plant isn’t tied to a screen and difficult to move if needed.

Totally agree. My first grow I used the scrog method and as far as controlling the plants it worked fine but in every other way it was a total pain in the butt especially I found when trying to water plants. I switched to quadlining and supercropping which I find works just dandy.

There is my order from Attitude Seed Bank. Happy that went through. Thanks again multiVortex. Funny I don't even recognize any of the freebie strains.

It appears the scammer will take a person's personal information to buy/send products to so they can in turn write a fake review using your name. I can't remember what the name of the scam they used was but it's not something new apparently.

That’s some crazy shit. I got two boxes from amazon Monday. One was what I ordered, the other (which was the right name/address) was not. It wasn’t in my history, either. I blew it off as a mix up, but this has me thinking.

Thank you so much, multiVortex. I checked out Attitude and yes you were right all my strains were in. The Killer A5 Haze only came in five packs and they wanted about $140 so I just went with the other three and it came out to $209 .44 Canadian which works out to157.98 US. With my super lemon haze arriving in a few days I should be set for quite a while. Thanks again!

Not bad. I grabbed a fiver.

Nice line up Homer.

 

[Pennywise]

Yes those are some very nice strains indeed.

Thanks guys. I figured you would like them, Penny, because I chose them because they are your favs. You do know your strains.

 

[Pennywise]

The Nevilles and the Golden Tiger are long flowering and will stretch to the point they will really test your skills.

 

[oldsmokey]

I look forward to you growing them.

 

[The Phantom]

And knowing Homer some damn fine photos of them to boot.

Bruce Banner is already testing me to the point I may have to surrender and break out my spare blurple to start flowering her because it is getting so tall I am running out of height and the MegaLight is still budding the GG. I have already super cropped a lot of branches several times and they seem to be growing immune the way they spring right back up. She's in a 10-gallon pot but her trunk is a fraction the size of the Gorilla Glue when I flipped it so maybe in the future I will start growing Sativas in 5-gallon pots instead of 10-gallon and not veg them as long.

My 2 hazes were started under 11/13 lighting. The Bandaid Haze is up to my chest and still stretching.

Wow. That is nuts. I would have expected a plant started under 11/13 would flower as a small plant and be about a foot tall.

 

[Homer Simpson]

Bruce Banner is stretching at a fair pace but just bounces right back when I super crop it. I just took this picture today where I supercropped a branch about a week ago and I only gained about an inch and a bit in reducing height but it grows that much almost in a day. Totally different than Indicas.

 

[Homer Simpson]

I look forward to you growing them.

Me too, oldsmokey. Thanks.

Thanks, Phantom. Very kind of you.

Totally agree. My first grow I used the scrog method and as far as controlling the plants it worked fine but in every other way it was a total pain in the butt especially I found when trying to water plants. I switched to quadlining and supercropping which I find works just dandy.

I will def be reading more into quadlining. I know what topping is and I know what fiming is. Idk that I will fim so hopefully that's not quadlining. I have seen some pictures of plants wher epeople say they have quadlined and thought it looked benefical to indoor growing. I haven't looked into how it's done or anything though.

What type silica are you using?

I use Harvest Gold Organics...basically a bag of sand. I just bought a 15 pound bag for future grows since they are having a sale now plus free shipping. My first 2 grows were both indica hybrids so genetics may have contributed to the sturdy stems. But all buds were large and no staking required. I will continue to amend soil with silica.

 

[cr8grow]

Checked the outdoor today and deer got all but 1 plant. The one survivor was maybe 3” tall. Lol

Outdoor

Sorry to hear about that Pennywise. Deer reeked havoc on my first almost successful outdoor grow back in about 1978. I hope your lone survivor makes it.

 

[cr8grow]

Thanks for the great input. I am pretty much settled on LST, supercropping and the occasional topping. I may top sooner than I think because I will have to be a little more aware of height in a tent. I plan on using the tops as clones because I don't just want to kill them.

What silica are you using. I may give it a go.

I have been seeing lolipopping, defoliation and a few other techniques that are quite similar to these. I plan on just letting the plant show me it's canopy and trim accordingly rather than trying anything like that.

I want to try quadlining also.

I replied to another silica question a bit further down...its Harvest Gold Organics. I want a few more grows under my belt before I try a long flowering sativa. My last kush grow was 16 weeks, 6 veg & 10 flower, already a bit too long for me.

 

[StoneOtter]

Awe man those deer! Revenge is yours after Thanksgiving brother. It's best served as deer heart stew!

Holy crap! That’s just wild stuff right there.

Makes me wonder about the killer A5. I may have to flip that pretty early if they’re gonna do all that fun stuff.

I will def be reading more into quadlining. I know what topping is and I know what fiming is. Idk that I will fim so hopefully that's not quadlining.

It isn’t difficult really. You top above node 4 (wait for node 5 to be out a bit so you can leave a little stem above node 4), remove nodes 1 & 2, and there ya go.

From there you gently bend and train the branches out horizontal, typing down with plant wire, soft pipe cleaners, whatever. It’s like a mainline, flux, etc in that regard. The nickname quadline comes from it leaving 4 nodes after the top. Where this one gets a jumpstart is it only takes 1 top to get there. With a mainline it would take 2 tops to get to that point, so quadlining saves a week or so in veg as it doesn’t have to recover from a second topping.
