My first attempt at quadlining has been put into jepeordy? The girls and boy's until I can identify any? Well I managed to achieve chronic thrips and the damaged leaf I have been removing, it's equal to the first time I lollipoped a plant in ignorance. Look
Pretty sure I have been believing I have ph madness as I have been a bit keen with the soil charging. Fish blood and bone, iron, potash, and John innes no 3 for good measure. Even ph'd water was giving nute burn. So the thrips have been unchecked for most of their lives . So far . They are potted into tropical mix medium , medium. They are ready to,if not starting to, stretch. I've got neem oil and as soon as I received it was the point when I realized that I have to nuke them. So in 5 or 6 days they've been drenched in neem and soap, then I got the plytherum.
I've been trying to not have to defoliate the damage. But it's not an option to ignore. They are mostly producing strong preflower growth, which is good for moral..
I'm fkn IMPRESSED WITH QUADLINING.
The girls are going mental trying to fire out flower shoots. They are going along nicely all considering the thrips eating them. But I've been looking at, maybe half a inch a day plus on the critical kush, and the peyote critical quadlining. Happy to see this much still happening.

It’s the only way to grow. We’re loving it at home. I have one of those spindly stick-in-a-pot things (an untrained plant) in my tent with the real plants this time. It just looks silly, like it should be embarrassed.

Here is what it turned into. Starting my quads on day 16. Is that normal.

It’s 26 days old to so training hasn’t started. I’m gonna quad it right where it’s at, I know I let them go.

Sorry I thought you were referring to my plant I don’t know why I get notifications and your not talking to me. Sorry.
Those tops will train out as she grows. Gotta work at the speed of a plant some days - which is about the rate it takes me to catch up on all these grow journals!

I really am embarrassed I didn’t look at who were talking to.
Oh good heavens there is no need for that at all honestly Sparks you’re alright mate!

Go easy, brother

Looks great to me! Just be careful how tight they are tied down not to snap a branch or have the armpits (part where the branch connects to the main stock) start tearing. Just keep an eye on it but be very gentle!

Right on! Do you think it's too tight? I can loosen it up a bit when I get home if needed but i didnt notice anything crazy

I’m not going to tie them I’m not finishing this one I don’t want to transplant and the bag it’s in will make it harder to manipulate. This was just a test. I think I clogged one side too much but the other side is starting to push them. The plant is fighting so much I don’t think it will be a nice looking plant in the end. It was hard to do the other side because it’s not growing symmetrically and it was smaller. But I am thinking about a redo on my dirt ball. At the node it’s at then tomatoe cage to support if it works but the way the stalk looks so far I think it can handle. It’s not opening up the nodes on top as fast now because it realizes what I’m doing to it. I think if I let it go it might catch up and quad itself.

I think it realizes.

Just keep an eye on it is all I am saying. Those wire things you used for holding the branches down have a bit of give to them so you should be fine but just make sure to check every now and again.

Thanks Ase. I'll post photos along the way as well in my journal!
That's one of the mistakes I've made. Definitely gotta keep an eye on them.
