Dghoyos' Diesel Ladies - First Time Grow
- Thread starter
- #22
So, a week later we're kicking ass on the full strength nutes. I won't lie, I'm a bit intimidated with how fast they're growing and kind of crowding one another. They seem to be tilting towards the light and somewhat sparse. I would have guessed them getting a little bushier. Note sure if I should step up the mh in wattage. Here is my oldest lady cummins....
And here are the four diesel ladies together. I've spread them fairly far apart from one another. I was thinking of going to a 600w mh and bringing the bulb a bit higher. Maybe give the lower plants a boost. Possibly even making the girls bushier. I'd like to max out the height around 5 feet, so do I have to "top" them?

You don't have to, but you could. By the looks of your first picture it might be a little late to do a topping on that one at least though. Looks to be a good time to do some training. I'd probably consider supercropping that big one, but I'm very brave when it's not my own plants.
We won't be doing another untrained plant, after our first grow we saw for ourselves why it's so helpful.
I'm with RTK in this one. If it were my garden I would push the short ladies together on leave an empty spot by the big girl then bend her over severely so her main stem is parallel to the ground. Then they will all be similar height.
Thanks Shigs! Glad to hear I'm starting to think like you.
If left untrained, your big girl will force you to raise your light to accommodate her, requiring you to lift all the rest of your plants up to her height. It's far easier and more effective to force her down now, while she is still green and reasonably thin.
Here's my first supercrop:

A week or so later:
We waited probably too late, but she still recovered.

Like RTK said, lift the two plants on the right until you supercrop or top the other ladies. Otherwise they will stretch for the light and you wont get full colas.

If she bent but didn't kink, that'd be more of an untied LST than a supercrop. Might be enough, or she might just stand right back up on ya. You'll want to keep a close eye on her if your light would be too close should she do so.

Ok, so sorry for being a ghost around here but here is an update. I'm just starting week 7 on the expert recirculating regimen today, and they all seem to be doing great. The two midgets on the right, I have decided once harvested, I'll oust those two and stay with the two larger ones. I also trimmed the lower fans off. They aren't as bushy as I expected, but maybe due to me catering to the largest plant and causing the other three to race for the light? Either way, I'm happy with my first attempt and will just look at it as an experience. Anyways, here are some pics....
That'd make sense for sure. Once we started leveling our plants off to the same height, production definitely increased.

Soooooo......looks like we're getting close to harvest lol. The largest one smells so piney, I'm in love! The smallest one smells like grapes. I think I'll be cloning the grape diesel one and cloning the largest one. Pictures are a close up of the grapes one and the largest cola of the big lady.
Outstanding! That's one hell of a baseball bat you got there.

Is this grow still alive?
