Sorry to pop up on the thread without getting to know anyone but I have an urgent request for some advice. Has anyone grown Exodus Cheese using just 8 or 16 tops built from the first node? I tried it topped from around the 5th with a big veg period and although it produced well it looked weak with spindly branches, I tied it up on nearly every branch? I then tried 16 sog style in a 1.2 tent using a Wilma that produced around 20 or so ounces and looked good but I got a lot of sweating up and found maintenance a ball ache, I was also hoping for nearer 30 including my trim!!!
My thoughts for my next grow (end of October) are putting four seedlings in a 1.2 x 2.4 and topping from the first node then tying back topping again and tying back again etc, now would I get 8 decent thick tops or is Exodus just best suited to small sog type 'canopy' growing with smaller but quite usable trimmable buds? I have some WW coming up so it might be I use them instead and keep the Exo for the sog?
I tried the hub method off the first node with Barneys Blue Cheese and it didn't really work too well as it kind of split the mains into 5 smaller biggish buds, maybe a sativa dom pheno? However I did an AK off first node which just produced 16 donkey dicks for an average 5z per plant that were a dream to trim but didn't have the 'kick' of the Cheese variety I want.
Any advice will be much appreciated.
