This is about one week into flower. All the branches are tied down to achieve about as even spacing and level top as I can. I'll adjust as the grow continues...

Thanks! I'll maybe wrap everything south of the leaves with a cloth or tape until it's time to transplant.

Since mama plant hit 8 weeks, I wanted to try my hand at cloning. I thought about what I could do for a starter pot, and had an idea for just the thing - check it out: I took the empty container, drilled a small hole through the top, washed it out, then filled it with distilled water...

In case you're wondering, I did leave all the trimmings right in the pot. I actually will mix them in a bit better once they dry up. This is a trick I learned from the engineers at Scott's when I was doing some work with them. They strongly recommended not bagging or raking your lawn after you...

We've hit 8 weeks. It was getting so crowded that I've decided to clean things up and aim for one cola per branch (I think that's the right terminology). So far so good. The response to all the trimming seemed to actually be positive. Many of the limbs look too weak right now to support any...

So it sounds like volume for the big guys. I feel like if I was growing for anyone but myself it'd be smart to adopt that mentality. But as Tead said, I think maybe all the fuss we take over these home grows is for pride and pleasure... I think it would be interesting if it went federally...

Just curious - do professional farms (those that grow hundreds of plants to feed the dispensaries) use LST or HST techniques or do they just put the plants in the soil and feed them boat loads of light and quality nutrients? It seems if you have hundreds of plants to take care of you wouldn't...

I decided this girl was just too bushy...trimmed up a few of the leaves on the top side that were shading the growth areas underneath. If I was able to bend a leaf out of the way I did it because I have read that the plant needs the leaves for photosynthesis and getting rid of waste. The...
