Closet Grow With QB

[GreenThunder]

I've added a closet space to my operation. It is 2x4x5 feet and lit with an HLG 260xl quantum board.

The current occupants will move in tonight (lights will be on at night instead of day)

Grape Ape, 12 days above ground.

Darn duplicate!

Procrastination won again but the plants have now been moved into the closest. As usual, I wonder why I waited (sigh)

Grape Ape, Miranda, is 17 days and was repotted into a 1 gallon (thinking maybe I should have just put her in the 3 gal forever home)

They will both live in the closet through harvest so I need to keep them smallish. Scrog or much LST, that is the question... @InTheShed wwyd?

I wish I'd started GA a couple weeks sooner.... will I ever find my round tuit and give up my procrastnative ways?!

Hi GT
I just bought some DIY kits. (Just getting "supplies" to hook all em up. Let's see these QBs suck out some trichs!! Checking this out.

Grape Ape will be easy to keep flat since it's so young, but the psycho clone has already been topped and it's pretty tall. If there's any flexibility in that stem you could start to lean it over to the side and let the undergrowth become new tops. If not, then it looks like you could easily do a quadline like @Derbybud did with his clones. And the 4 mains are staring right at us, so pulling them out and stripping the nodes under them would be the next stage I believe. I'll let the quadliner give you the best advice on that!

Do you want them close to the same height when you flip, and do you know how much stretch each will have? Are you flipping them in the closet?

Drop the light closer and dim if it's too bright (hold your palm under the light if the skin turns bright white it's too close, you can get it very close even at full blast)

How did I miss this?! I'm hoping for close to the same size at flip but don't see that happening. I don't know how much they will stretch but always guess at least twice or more. If Psycho can wait 3 more weeks to flip then I can throw her into the tent.... after a couple in there are harvested. The plan was to flip them both in the closet but I dilly-dallied getting the seed started. This batch wasn't well thought out.... I didn't intend to take a clone but couldn't resist. Now I've already got 2 more seedlings started in the bathroom closet! Someone stop me!!

Do you mean bend the main stem over? Maybe THIS is the piece I've been missing! I'll throw up some current pics after I go upload them (ugh... I hate that part, I always forget to do it before starting a comment)

I've tried down 2 of the branches on Psycho....

Is GA big enough to bend over? Or should I just let her go so as to not stall her growth?? She seems to have a good growth rate

sorry stoner brain. Cant remember if they are autos or photos... But this is what i did to one of mine over the weekend... Mine are photos though, so i am not sure how autos would take it. You could definitely bend her over though and expose the under growth to the light

Def time to bend over Grape Ape like PJ said! It's hard to tell what you did to the clone with all the leaves in there () but I would tie out the 4 mains and do a quadline. You can use the two big ones and the two new ones where you topped (as they grow). Then you take off everything else below those mains. You end up with something like the one the left from Derbybud:

Psycho has been spread as much as possible without splitting her stem...

Pic 3 and 4 show a lower branch.... should I prune it or let it grow up into the middle?

Thinking about flipping both GA and Psycho in 10-12 days

 

[InTheShed]

I wouldn't thin the lower growth until you see if the upper growth is going to block it. Especially if you're going to flip that soon.

autos or photos..

These are photos.

Does it look like I've pruned enough? She's so bushy it's hard to see what's going on, even spread like she is
