Will be doing that. I have a Ushio 600 watt HPS bulb coming tomorrow. Once I top them today or tomorrow, I'm going to let them recover, and then put into flower. They won't be the best, but I have the veg tent to do this stuff now, and would rather not run out of the bud I have left, and still have 7 weeks to go into flowering by waiting. Its still freezing like a witches tit out here today! I gotta open the tents up to give them water today, and maybe top 2, I'm thinking about just bending one of the plants main stems 90 degrees, and letting it grow. Saw it once, and it seems to be the most basic form of LST training to do on a plant lol. I guess the stems start all growing towards the light, and tricks it into thinking it's been topped? Something like that anyways.
Freezing here too bud, what r ur temps like in the grow spaces?? Cant get myne above 67-69°f (19-20°c).. Today, its -7°f outside this morning.. its a tough battle.. (going to give the space its own circuit soon so i can turn the heater on high with out trippin’ a breaker)
It's that cold here to, but my MH tent is fine with heat, and the small veg tent, I'm keeping it at 76 or 77, so real good.
I opened the smaller veg tent, so I could check on them. It goes from a very nice temp range of 76 to 80f. Now, I shut the tent door to leave them be for another 24hrs. Its reading 55f in there. Thankfully the heater will kick it right back up soon enough, but damn it's cold outside to do that in the garage.
Despite being pulled from the soil at maybe 3 to 5 days old, and put in a solo cup. I'm very happy with this ones progress. I'm going to mainline that one for a first time attempt also. I want to keep her in a veg period for as long as the small tent will allow me to. She is starting her growth to make a 6th node. Once I'm happy with enough of that 6th node growth, I'm going to top down to the third node, and clear away the rest underneath, I'm going by a guide online I read, and want to try. I'm only going to do 8 colas on her. One, I want to see bud growth on 8 colas. Two, j have a small veg tent, and don't want 16 or more colas lol.
Isn't this just perfect lmao. The big tent plants have been looking awful. I could not figure it out. They just look heat stressed, but thermostat was reading what I wanted the range to be. My temp controller is just fucked really. I adjusted the temp range on it, and saw like a miracle. The current temp changed to match the new settings. SOB I'm annoyed, cause I also have a clogged filter I have to replace.
That topping I'm trying to clone is going well after 48hrs. Lovely color, perky, and standing straight.
You shouldve cut leaves imo so shell completely stop focusing on getting bigger atm & only put energy into making new roots.. I just think it makes her root faster.. but she looks very very nice
I'll see how she looks when the lights come on. Yesterday was real good. If I keep her spritzed, and high humidity. The roots will take I'm sure, just longer, but I'm impressed that her growth tip already grew enough for me notice. In 48hrs from topping her. I had an idea though, if and when this one is growing good and ready, I could manifold her again, and then clone the tipping in did again? Itd be like a reverse clone mother lmao. Itd just be the growth tip that gets topped and replanted again Haha
The small tent has three different things going on in it right. Now. The plant that's being manifold right now is looking great, and growing well. I'm going to transplant her tomorrow I think, into a 3 gallon fabric pot. I want her adjusted to the 3 gallon pot. Before she gets her last toppings. To create the 8 colas. The clone looks well still, after 72 hrs. I'm seeing nice growth coming up from the growth tip. There was very little drooping, but lights had just come back on, so no surprise. Then, I have these 3 seedlings that are speeding up their growth. They will go I to 1 gallon fabric pots soon.
I left the solo cup dome off the clone last night. After lights came on today, she looked fine, but spritzed with water on leaves to provide some support. The manifold plant will go in a 3 gallon pot tonight or tomorrow. When the lights come on.
All but the clone was upgraded to a bigger home tonight. Solo cups went into 1 gallon fabric pots, and the 1 gallon pot went in a 3 gallon fabric pot.
Look at that manifold. I find it a real eye pleaser to look at. So far she's taking to her 3 gallon upgrade. I'm looking to do a final transplant in a 5 gallon fabric pot. If it doesn't happen that way. The second one will go in a 5 gallon fabric pot
Another day of goodness with them. There was some big odor Coming out of the small tent today again. Manifold plant is a month old today. Maybe another day, and the manifold will get her last topping. Clone is perky, and 3 smaller girls are bulking up.
