Pretty neat getting cage tomorrow. I have a dilemma. Friend bet me a hooker and a gram that the other plant will yield better if not topped and he is allowed to do so trainings and toppings in it. He thinks cages are bs. Lucky I have to buy the mesh garden wire in big rolls. Otherwise I'd be pissed about buying one "cage". I told him my Johnny cage will finish him and he can keep sketchy hooker and gram but I really want to do both my way. Oh well fixes my proximity problem :S
Well I'm torn spook I think you should have topped both and topped like 2-3 nodes down not just a little pinch don't forget you still have months of veg left and but I also agree that the cages are shit lol. Jmho I could never get why people use wire mesh cages when come time to harvest it's a pain in the ass you gotta cut that wire to get the plant out and then the plant grows into the wire and you have to cut Buds in half to get them outta the wire then you end up with lil pieces of metal in your trim blah blah blah but we all have our own way I guess but man I top my photos 3-4-5 times and still end up with 5-6' plants I do lst and hst I like bends and tie downs I don't do anything that's not necessary also so keep that in mind but I also start training them as soon as they sprout so they start out with horizontal growth and I grow my foundation before I let her go verticle
iys for making holiday wreaths but it's the same exact size as a 5gallon bucket and I grow horizontal to the edge and top and then spread her so she grows one limb one way the other limb the opposite and when they meet I train them back to the middle and that's when I let them go vertical and immediately top again what it does is makes all the secondary's colas and holds back the mains to give the seconds time to catch up if this helps
its obviously to late for you to do this just wanted to share. In a month I bet your gonna wish you had topped them both but it's gonna be cool to see the difference in the two honestly bro thinking I don't think I've ever grown a plant that I didn't top at least once so it'll be a new one for me as well to watch grow un topped. My next run I'm gonna do one organic and one non organic same strain medium lighting every thing the same except the nutes and see which one works best. So a side by side kinda like what your doing now only it'll
Be nutes instead of training differences. I love this shit man lol#global 420 Wednesday 10:09am
Is it training? I always saw the cages as a means of support once the flowers start to put on weight help me to understand what your trying to accomplish here. The girls are looking better than ever by the way so keep it up and I'm not being mockingly I'm sincere here#global420 Thursday 846am
