[Melville Hobbes]

Lovely, Mel!

You have a good weekend too.

Thanks GDB!

Ah so those are all bamboo wow I’m thinking about starting so lst on my auto since I topped my auto probably would be a good idea

Reason for Edit : My phone is weird and thinks I’m trying to top myself nope apple I can’t grow limbs back like a plant

Yep, bamboo skewers for now, then 6 foot bamboo stakes as supports and attachment points for the dowels soon.
Lol, you should see some of the autocorrect suggestions I get.

I'm still having trouble taking clear side pics of Lucille. I'm posting one of the blurry ones this time so you can see why I don't usually post them. Things are proceeding fairly well so far. Just a little bug damage to a leaf or two.
I'm thinking it might be time to remove the top fan leaves from Donatra. I'm tucking them back under the side shoots every morning, but they still end up covering them. I'll give it a bit of thought.

Lucille Skywalker

Jacinda the Ripper - the central growth from the nodes on the horizontal branches is starting to show signs of taking off. It'll be good to see that happening soon.

Commander Donatra

Ebony

Time to relax and have an edible. Night all!

 

[Melville Hobbes]

Jacinda's central shoots are now showing more growth, and Ebony's lower growth is finally starting to catch up to her upper branches. Tomorrow is the day to set up the support structures around them, get the bamboo stakes set up.

Thanks Dani!
You mean octolining? When I have enough veg time this usually gets me plenty of tops without the plants getting too tall. I like to keep the plants lower than the top of the fence.
I don't like feeling like there's a big bullseye on my yard when the plants get taller.

I totally know what you mean. Neighbors like to see what we grow each year

Octolining nice, I've seen some mainlining before. How does Octolining start by toping 2 times? Anyways Im following till the end looking forward to seeing it.

Neighbours on both sides grow, but I've been visited by rippers before, so I'm trying to keep them a bit lower these days.
I top them once after deciding whether or not to keep the lowest node. Sometimes the branches there have some vigor, but if not I trim them off.
Then I top the plant so there are 4 nodes, and use the hooks @Carcass designed to spread the branches, training the lowest two into the gaps.
Sometimes I top the ends of the branches if it looks like the central nodes aren't going to fill in, but it's usually not necessary.
I used to use bulldog clips on the edge of the pot to spread the branches, but the hooks work a lot better.

 

[Melville Hobbes]

Going to be a bit of a busy day today, getting the supports ready and securing the dowels, so I nipped out while the sun was out to take today's pics.

Lucille Skywalker - I'm going to have to decide how much further I want to spread her base out.

I'll add something for scale in the next set of pics

Jacinda the Ripper

Commander Donatra - I am really happy with her growth right now!

Ebony - I secured her top shoots to the skewer, but this is as far as I can go on that. I'll need to get those dowels on.

I feel like I'm seeing things. Does anyone else see a blue tinge to one or two of the leaves?

I fed them today too. 1 gram per Litre of MC, and one of them got week 3 dosage of @Remo Nutrients veg stage. I am happy with both right now.

Thanks for looking in!

 

[Danishoes21]

when you see the waxy lush bright green on the leaves you know they are loving it.

they look amazing

 

[Grand Daddy Black]

They all look great, Mel!

And now I completely understand why you're so fond of the Commander. She's beastly!

Looking forward to whatever kind of erection you're about to conduct. (Did that come out right?)

 

[HashGirl]

Your girls look good, Mel although they look a little pale in the middle. Is that your camera or is it time to add Cal-Mag or bump the MC up a bit?

I think it's just rapid growth.
Lucille is just getting amended garden soil, and the others are getting two different types of nutes.
The Remo plant is getting calmag as part of her regular feed as I am following their feeding chart, and the other two seem happy when I go out and look at them.
The pale parts have been darkening as they grow.
I'll keep an eye on it though, thanks for the heads up!

So, stage one is partly complete. I'll have to tidy it up a little, but this should hold through the storm.

heck, you could just continue to use the pvc frame and add too it as needed. Different lengths of pipe.
I've thought of using different lengths of pipe in my scrog set up to change it's height above the tray. It's just pushed together, not glued.

It's actually parts of a cheap Chinese portable wardrobe. I would really prefer the upper part to have some flexibility, so I use the bamboo instead. It's also not quite as tall as the bamboo stakes.

:0 is it supposed to be that bad?

 

[Trala]

Hi Mel

Omg how quickly they grow!

Your girls look so beautiful. There is a magical component to sunlight on leaves, well I think there is.

Your training is on fleek bruv.
