MightyMoe's Secret Jungle: 8 Strains, Two Tents, Mega Crop & Vulx

[MightyMoe22]

Did a little @InTheShed style autoflower lst. None of them were even phased. The zkittlez auto however decided to flower early, so she's gonna be a bit lackluster. But oh well. Im just super happy I didn't burn the cheese or bruce banner this time. Yet.. those two were some of my favorite smoke, even with me having burnt them pretty good.

Right after lst.

Next morning

I did goof a bit by not planting them off center in the pots... then again I hadn't really planned on bending them over. Spur of them moment really. Lol.

Oof! Support those stems upright Moe! Never good to strain the root-trunk connection by making it lean. And you'll never get the top lower than the lowers without snapping it clear out of the soil without the support.

i only say this cuz i see flowers and massive trainings. if these are going back to veg, i would cut the tall one so you dont have to bend it like that. You can stick it back into promix hp and it will just root. If you dnt have promix hp some root additive would beneficial.

 

[MightyMoe22]

Its an auto @PK1 or i would give that a shot.

And good call @InTheShed , ill find something appropriately sized to support them with, I know what you mean....oops, pretty lazy of me. Thought about it today while I was at work, wow I prolly should have bent those over something... then I got home and it was time for food, shower, ect. And I developed a little too much fk it..

I'll get them set up a bit nicer after I get the little one situated in bed.

 

[MightyMoe22]

Also their restraints need adjusting, besides getting them some support. Initially trained them last night. So just now 24hrs since being bent over.

 

[MightyMoe22]

Also did pretty hard thinning of the larger pink rozay while I was messing with the autos. Gonna give her 4-5 more days then chuck her in with the other girls to flower!!

Before

After

Her color is a little light for me though...Her last feed was at 3. I'd like to get that to at least 4 before the flip, but that's a big increase. 1g/ gallon. So I may end up letting her wait another full week, or two. We'll see

 

[InTheShed]

Two weeks to recover the fans and get the nutes right sounds right!

 

[MightyMoe22]

Glad ya called me out shed, I may have ended up in bed before I took care of it if you hadn't.

Here's what I came up with.


This is a fairly heavy duty garden wire i came across and have several rolls of. Its close to a 14 or 12ish AWG size, for reference.

A few bends and a little leverage later...

TADA!!! SIMPLE. But very effective (so long as it all looks good in the morning).

I feel better now. Lol. Thanks shed!

 

[InTheShed]

Much better! I still think pulling from the opposite side is simpler though:

 

[MightyMoe22]

As simple as my solution was.... yours is better!!!!! Lmao. I can be pretty thick sometimes. Over complicating things for myself lol. About to go down and check on my not so simple solution lol

Is that an auto as well?

 

[PK]

i've never grown auto's and this might sound stupid but i really do like to know what happens if you would cut the mirclestem to get two new branches?

 

[MightyMoe22]

Didn't grab pics this morning, but my over complicated simple stem support solution is holding up fine. @InTheShed ill go with your approach next time! sometimes I'm just smooth.

@PK1 With autos you generally don't want to top, because you have a very limited, uncontrollable veg time for recovery of your topped, top. So as a rule of thumb. From what I know. Its usually best to stick with just LST and light defol of fans directly blocking bud sites, tucking is preferred though.

 

[PK]

right i've heard about that, one of my main reasons im not much of auto liker is due to this very main fact. lol!
but, to my understanding of plant not autos is that when you stress them, defoil, lst, topping it puts the plant back in growth. I take this is not the case with auto's and they will just go into bloom?

 

[InTheShed]

That one isn't but you can see the same technique on a auto on the first page of my LST thread.

i've never grown auto's and this might sound stupid but i really do like to know what happens if you would cut the mirclestem to get two new branches?

Any high stress technique will slow growth while the plant recovers. With autoflowers you are working against their own internal flowering clock, so slowing them down makes for smaller plants and smaller harvests.

 

[PK]

autos; their like a timer on a clock that is in fast mode

 

[MightyMoe22]

Small little tester squeeze of the chem og.

Little too hot for too long.

But it still smokes really well.

It has a limey, citrusy, sweet taste. I'm diggin' it.

 

[InTheShed]

Looks great! What's the paper wrapped around the bag for? I think I've only seen the mesh bag and parchment paper before.

 

[MightyMoe22]

Just a directing envelope, makes all the squeezins go one way

 

[InTheShed]

Thanks! Is that an official product or just an office supply thing?
