Kanno 26 Introduces ViparSpectra KS5000 And Grow 3x Mimosa EVO Together

[StoneOtter]

Hi Kanno, I usually top at 1/3 distance to the top of my tent and train the two top shoots/branches out horizontal until the next layer down come up, then I bring them down to the same level to wait for the third set of nodes to grow there and on and on working at a flat canopy along the way. When they get all up and level I take all the tiny branches below a line I draw in my mind off and leave the leaves on. Just what won't get light goes. Flip, wait 21 days or so and see exactly how well the plant did. I cut whole branches off if they don't get tall enough and take any inner branch growth off leaving all leaves on now. My vegging time is usually 65 to 70 days. That's the way I do it.

Hey Kanno. I usually veg just until the plant almost fills the space I have allotted and then flip since it will still grow a bit wider after flip. I Quadline so I train the four branches out flat to the edge of my bucket and then flip.

But I'm pressed for space so I flip my plants smaller than most.

Like SO, I clean up the bottom third of the plant after stretch, which is basically anything that won't be able to reach the top of the canopy with the rest of the top buds.

Hi @Bill284, thanks for the tip, I plan to switch them at week 8 or 9. So far I have never let the plants run until week 9. It could be interesting.

I have a couple things for you - first, in soil i almost always went 60 in veg. In coco a 60 day veg would blow up a tent, so it’s shorter, but always at least 40. I personally believe the longer you keep them in veg the better. Not only does it give the plant time to be truly mature before you flip, it also gives you time to do whatever you want with training. And obviously bigger plants and more buds. There used to be a school of thought that 60 days was the ideal target for days in veg - that’s where I got it from. I came across that assertion over and over again when I was doing my initial research.

As far as training from here, you could try a scrog without the scrog on one if you want. I use that in certain situations. Basically you start pulling the branches wide, securing them with skewers and plant wire (or whatever, that’s what I use). The goal is to make a nice ring of colas as wide as you have space for. The lower shoots from the pulled or branches will easily fill in the ring. In this method, everything you do to control the branches is done from below the plant. You use the soil in the pot to anchor the skewers. You can actually control the branches several inches beyond the edges of the pot rather easily. Then all you do is keep everything at the same level. Cut off what you don’t want if it gets choked up. Supercrop in the middle if necessary to keep it nice and even. Or bend those smaller interior branches and secure with skewers. In the end you have a plant with tons of colas, it’s round (since you make it that way), it can be sized to whatever diameter you want, and voila! A scrog without the scrog!

To show you what I mean, here’s a picture from the last time I used this method. Three plants in a 5x5. The colorful one is the Slurricane, which won me Nug of the Month for the first time.

Thanks bro, I'll think about it now I have time to do with them. Thanks for the tip.

Hey everyone, so here I am with another update on my three Mimosa EVOs at the end of week seven. And I found some old half moons for bending plants, so I thought I'd try to use them to make them grow a little sideways. So let's see if it works. Immediately after that, the two SIPs received watering, they each received 2 liters in the soil and 2 liters in the reservoir, and the airpot received 3 liters. And this is how it looks there.

Thanks everyone for stopping by.

Greetings to all @ViparSpectra KS5000 fans. I'm here today with another update on my Mimosa EVOs which are halfway through their eighth week in veg and doing great. Today, the girls received a watering of clean water with an adjusted PH of 6.3. I water once a week with clean water, I do this as a precaution in case fertilizers accumulate in the soil. Otherwise, even before they were watered, I started cleaning the undercarriage of the plants and in a few days I will continue so that they are ready for overturning. And finally, here are some photos of the girls.

Thanks to everyone for stopping by growers.

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't heard from you for so long I had a fever and wasn't feeling very well. But now that I'm out of it, it's starting to get better. Thanks for your understanding and I will update soon.

 

[Azimuth]

Hope you're feeling better @Kanno26 . We'll still be here when you get back. No rush.

Hey @ViparSpectra KS5000 fans, I'm finally here with another update on my Mimosa EVO's at the start of week nine in veg and at the end of the week I'm planning to switch them to flower and they're huge already, I've never had them in veg for so long and I quite curious how big they will be in the end. And this is how it looks today.

The whole tent with some of my vegetables before it goes out.

It's amazing how each one is a little different for the fact that it is one set of seeds and even the same species and yet they are so different. Isn't it amazing . Thanks everyone for stopping by.

 

[ViparSpectra]

Looking good in there. Solid, healthy looking girls. Just beautiful.
New attempts may have different surprises.

 

[Kanno26]

Good morning fellow growers today is the end of week 9 in vegetables for my Mimosa EVO which I will switch to flower today. Got the @ViparSpectra KS5000 running at 100% today let the girls enjoy the ride at full speed. They are starting to fill out the 5x5 tent nicely. And this is how it looks there.

Thanks everyone for stopping by.

 

[StoneOtter]

They look ready for the flip Kanno! Nice and full and healthy! That KS5000 is feeding them all they want from above! Stretch on!

What are the non-weed plants?

What are the non-weed plants?

Hi @Jon, weedy plants are tomatoes, peppers and melons .

Hi @Jon, weedy plants are tomatoes, peppers and melons .

Cool! Do you feed them the same nutrients as the pot plants?

 

[Kanno26]

Cool! Do you feed them the same nutrients as the pot plants?

I feed them as much as I can the girls.

 

[ViparSpectra]

They are amazing and freaking healthy!

Hi all fellow growers today is the Mimosa EVO's third day in flower and starting to stretch nicely to the @ViparSpectra KS5000 which is running at 100% and the girls are loving it. I was a little afraid that the light would be too small for my 5x5 tent and I have to say that so far it covers it perfectly and it's just enough for three plants. The question is how it would be if there were five plants, but I think it would be possible. This is what it looks like from above with the KS5000.

This is what Mimosas look like in profile and they are pretty thick.

And here are some photos of individual girls.

Thanks everyone for stopping by weed friends.

That KS5000 is working well in there! I have mine in a 4.5 x 4.5 foot space and it performed perfectly I'd say! Every inch had nice big hard frosty buds!
