Hello all.
So iv got 8 seedlings/small plants, starting there 3rd node now with tight node spacing, they will receive a 6 weeks veg from today, maybes a few days longer.
So my question is, how would i train them?
Top them at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th?
Top at 5th node then top once more giving me 20 colas?
There in 500ml containers at the moment, should i top them and let them recover in there pots for a week now, or should i transplant now into there final 16L pots, wait a week, then top?
So by friday they will probably be starting there 5th node so could i top them then if i do decide to top the 5th or should i wait till a few nodes higher?
Minimum colas i need from these plants are 12, at 1/2oz per cola that will give me a nice 6oz a plant, if i have more cola stems there could be potentially more weight.
So my way i was thinking was, transplant now into there final 16L pots, give them a week to bed in, then top at the 5th node, then recover while training height of other branches for 1 more week then top once more giving me 20 colas, then veg for final 3-4 weeks.
I was also thinking after they have been finally topped and recovered i could induce stretch just for a week or 2 then go back to closer lights to get tighter longer colas, so is that how i could get each branch to be at least 12" sized colas all roughly the same?
I am planning on getting some 3 ring tomato frame/cages to help with the final training of branches so that should be help with supporting the plants.
Thank you!
