Got a few pics and ramblings tonight.
Anyone that loves Indie Music, should try out some Lonely London Lad. You can find him on Myspace. Great music for driving after being sifted. The only music in my life ever I ever really bothered to sing to. I think I could listen to it forever. Its been in my cd player for alot longer than other artists. Lots of great songs, imo.
Anyways onto the plants.
I realized tonight TGA gear doesn't respond well to topping. Of course I was high. I think Im much more receptive to my plants while high, and really only notice stuff like this then.
The two Ive cropped(one JTR female, 3rd D) haven't shown much sign of forming a knot where cropped. They just take a long time to heal and actually have bled from it. Ive got pics! Its been 7-10 days is my best guess since being cropped. They never bled any when topped early in veg. It actually looks more like dryed up orange vomit than blood. Id have to say Im pretty disappointed with TGA gear to withstand stress. They can't handle water stress well, nor super cropping. They tips are the only part of the cropped branches actually sticking back up. The branches just lay there like a limp dick.
My next grow will have lots of cropping involved, so It doesn't look like Ill be keeping any of the TGA stuff as mothers even if they are top notch
.
Here is a bagseed that was cropped accidentally and has pretty much grown straight back up. I know it was cropped at some point in the flower tent, but not sure how long. Probably around 10 days ago.
Now some Skunk Haze. They respond extremely well to super cropping. I can crop them, and the next day they are already 8-10 inches higher than when cropped. Its a losing battle when supercropping them, and thats no joke. I accidentally cropped a cola early in flower, and It was too short to be cropped at this point, so I hung it straight back up with fishing line, and two days later It had healed enough to remove the fishing line. This actually happened
twice and within 2 days each time I could remove the fishing line. This cola is even pancaked shape. Not at all cylindrical. Sam really did his job on selecting his parents. He says selected males and females came from 10,000 of each! Talk about alot of work to select parents. With how stress resistant they are, he may very well have. Top notch trichome density, and stress resistant.
I really need to crop some lower branches of the Chunkies, so I can see how well they respond to it. I dont have time for some pansy bitches who can't take a punch.
