Tpt (Top Prune Technique) Harvest

will look at your journals later, should be a good read as I love growing big bushy plants

 

2 clones have roots really did not expect this for another
week as the temps went upto 35c under the t5

as I need the humidity high I can't have any type of airflow
now 2 clones have roots, hope some more clones root in the next week
 
just checked them again and found a small root on two more clones
so I have 4 rooted clones out of 6 so far
not bad in less than 10 days

 

some pic's of my clones, They will still need a day or two for the roots to grow before i pot them up but it a good start
 
 
 
 

 
 

 

I have checking on the clones every day and now all 6 clones have good strong white roots and green stems (no red or puple stems)

so time to re pot in next day or two

 

just an update of how the clones are looking
 

 
really thought there would be a lot more roots at this stage and be ready for potting up in soil,
but I will still pot them up in soil tomorrow and give them a week to settle in under a twin t5 tube
 
 
 
 

 

I only kept 4 clones but all 6 rooted and are really healthy, They even carried on growing
trying them in some small pots before I re-pot them in a 2ltr pots

 

it works well on both seedling and clones

 

If you could put some pic's up I do my best to help you, its a little difficult at first
and the timing is very important, as a fan leave growers a node starts to grow above it

so the ideal is the if you remove the top two fan leaves, the top part of the plant slows down and lower nodes catch up to give a bushy plant

 

hi awh welcome to grass city
 
on my last grow I used a 250w mh in veg and 2 light in flower,  600w mh and a 600w hps from day one in flower till harvest

 

 
man I look at your plants and journals, its like you veg indoors and flower outside, I can see why your a bush master
Lst after topping once at the 5th internode is the way i have done it many times in the past
 
what do you think about tpt 2 plants and top the other 2 plants, take pic's every two so we can see the difference between tpt and topping

 

I do enjoy playing around with my of my plants, so a experiment would be good fun
so when the plants gets to the 5th node its game on

 

my friend
 
The only way you could get some good dank bud is with a stronger light
 
I have never used leds but have used hps/mh for flowering
even a 150w hps should give you some dank bud,

 

TPT vs Topping
 
I have 4 plants under a twin t5 lights, 5th day in veg
 

 
so I want to start by talking about the 4 plants
 
In the first week of veg I take a close look at all the plants and pick the best plants, as I want to top two and TFT the other two and want it to be as fair as possible
 
so what do i look for ?
 
1:  thick green stem is the most important thing
2:  you want a few healthy nodes (round an inch long with a good size fan leave attached)
3:  a few large fan leaves
 
plant 1: score is 3 out of 3, for this stage in veg a perfect plant
so this plant will be great for topping and TPT  (The best plant by far)
 
plant 2: thin purple stem with a few small nodes and small fan leaves so I will have to wait a few days for the nodes to grow and hope the stem turns green ( this plant 4th as its not good)
 
plant 3: The plant has a thick green stem and a couple of small nodes so its good and comes in 3 place
 
plant 4: this plant is good, she has a good thick green stem, lots of nodes (a little small) and a few fan leaves so in  4-5 see will be great for topping/TPT
 
as 3 plants out of the 4 plants are not ready I will give them 4-5 days more and start the experiment
 
I would use the best plant (plant 1) and the weak plant (plant 2) for the TPT
 
and plant 3 and 4 for the topping to keep this experiment as accurate
as I can.
 
I think that covers it for now but if I have missed anything out or anyone's got any question
feel free to to ask any questions
