Shiggityflip Hits The Brix - Growing Using High Brix Soil

Yeah, I'm not much for cutting fan leaves. I've seen it take a plant and cut yeild. Let leaves fall off on there own. Just my way of thinking.

When you lay a branch down that was vertical you gotta take out the shoots that are now facing down. Or they will crowd the buds on the other side. And after the stretch I take off any shoots that are really low and won't produce. Can't stand popcorn bud. Ain't nobody got time fo dat. Trimming popcorn takes the fun out of growing.

But otherwise the cutting all happens a few days before flip. It's at that point I cut out the crowded stuff. Stretch this time is more on the Huck Kush 3 but fairly similar on the others, maybe just a tad more. Which is actually quite good because the plants were noticeably bigger than last grow. Last grow I broke the 55day seedling rule and flowered early because I had been out of cannabis for several months, surviving on scrap from a 2 yr old grow. Haha. It's a good experience. Very humbling.

I feel like I took it easy on the training this time. Last grow I spent a lot of time training daily before the flip and during the first week. This time I just laid the vertical branches down and used the mechanical stress to try and help with stretch. I am actually pretty pleased for the lack of effort it took. In fact the Agent Orange #5 was flipped much larger than last time and is currently shorter than at two weeks last grow. You never know though. I could look in 2 days and see a big burst of growth.

Also the heavier trimming before flip helped with the stretch by preventing the stretch associated with shoot crowding. That really stretched the Agent Orange last time. Next time I will probably trim it more. A neat project would be to do a giant Brix Scrog 4x10' of Agent Orange.
 
Big mis conception, you do not need direct light on flower sites. If you cut fan it leaves will decrease yield.

Millertm I am not cutting fan leaves I was trimming out whole branches and popcorn bud on the lower branches. Shoots, not fan leaves on the branches that stay.
 
Not to sound bad. When i culled, my yeild took a big hit. More leaves bigger plant and yield.

Cheers

Trust me...crowded plant means small buds and crappy yield too. When plants are crowded internally you have to cut them to a better shape. But this is best before flower. Then at the end of stretch you want to get the popcorn bs out of there if you are like me and trim alone. Too much trouble.
 
Well said. I just flip early because I had my tent over run on my last grow.

Cheers

Damn Ziggy, look at that. Such nice tight nugget structure. She's a beautiful flower I can't wait for the smoke report!
 
That's absolutely beautiful Ziggy. Lo and Slo you say? Interesting.

Shiggy, you and I both know you buy more lights you'll start more plants. It's a never ending cycle. The cry of the cannabis cultivator, "More Light!!!" :laughtwo:
 
To 8oz water I added 2ml wa10x and 7.5ml Brix. Sprayed primarily the under leaves and then a quick mist over the top. It is truly amazing the small size of the flairosol droplets. I would love to find a sturdier sprayer that gives the same fine mist spray. The drops are so small on the top of the leaves.

Shiggity, what is the wa10x? Geez, leave the garden for two months and you guys start playing with new toys.

Wa10x is a foliar that has calcium, manganese, magnesium, zinc,nitrate,etc. This allows us to feed things like magnesium to the plant without upsetting the soil chemistry. For those heavy feeders that always show upturned leaf edges.
