no worries im here to stay lol...
Thats the last time i use my phone to post a message... Anyway I tried Armeggedon a while back, never really liked it that much, definitely not enough to see me spending that kind of P on the seeds. Still though i'd be interested to see what justifies that price tag.https://www.rollitup.org/general-mari...p-my-1436.html
hash ball and plant update plus new package delivery..
The light has to be diagonal otherwise the reflector doesn't fit in my cab. Its really not that big! Which is why i'm trying to make the very best of my space. I stupidly bought it without measuring up, i think the new Sputnik 2 reflectors are slightly skinnier, meant to be more air tight with rubber seals between the glass and all sorts, maybe i'll invest in one...Why is the light diagonal? It should really be directly above them and straight.
I really, really love this journal. I don't know how long you've been doing this, but it's very very clean and organized.
You plant, is the bushiest flattest thing I've ever laid eyes on. I love your technique.
You're going to get places in this hobby.
HAHA CIALIS FAN WHAT THE FUCK?
HAHAHA
Hey lilindian. Been following this grow with huge interest. I have little experience indoors and no scrog experience (yet) though from what I do know I'd say you're spot on about the trimming. By the looks of it every time you've trained the plant you've given it a triple-blow to growth - damage from leaf trimming, some stress from tying down branches, and a big reduction in leaf surface facing the light. I'm guessing the plant is putting a lot of energy into recovery each time, stunting new growth a fair bit.... Thinking the slowish growth could be down to me cutting leaves off her every other day. For this reason i've tried to minimise on trimming this week, and instead focus more on tucking.
I seeeee. I just found it around the house, lots of doctors in the family, get given free gifts like that fan all the time at meetings and stuff. They generally dont push viagra ads on TV here...Yes, a few years ago Viagra and Cialis were always pushing commericals on TV. Everyone knows what they are, and there is a million jokes about them as well.(USA)
Yeh ur pretty much spot on, thats exactly what i started to think half way through last week and for that reason i stopped cutting off stuff and let her grow for a couple days before tying her down on thursday again. The reason i was tying down stuff early was to get the branches used to being bent down in that shape. I thought maybe if they're bent into shape right from the start they'll be more willing to hold that shape if i removed the screen eventually. But A.) I don't know if that makes sense and is even working B.) I dont think its worth all this extra time its gona take. So yeh exactly as you said i'm gona try preventing her from going into recovery mode again by letting branches grow as they please for a few days. Another reason i didn't used to do this is that i felt if potential bud sites were shaded then they wudn't get enough light to begin branching out in the first place, if u get me.....Hey lilindian.

Have you considered doing the training incrementally? - i.e. tying down the taller branches each time but leaving the smaller ones upright with all their leaves unharmed? That way those smaller branches would form a decent undamaged canopy and be able to feed the rest of the plant as it recovers from the stress of training, maybe allowing it to recover a bit quicker. The branches you leave alone will shade the lower ones a bit, but only for a day or two until they are the tallest and are themselves tied down.
Slow or not so far though I'm guessing that plant is going to take off like a rocket once the stress of training stops. I'll bet it'll have a fantastic number of tops on it when you go to flower and all the work will have been well worth it. Really excellent job so far and thanks for all the info and pictures. I'll will be following this through to the end and I'll be sending all kinds of positve growth vibes your way
Its already outgrowing my k'Nex screen on the near side of the cab, having to bend branches 180 degrees and all sorts. Once the screen is filled, I'm gona remove all the ties i've put on, and instead just put one tie at the end of each branch holding it down, and i'm not just gona hook that, i'm gona tie is properly, so when the plant stretches it doesn't just rip all the ties off the screen. Knex is some pretty strong shit, holds together well when needed to.im curiouse to see the outcome too! Cant help but think this is gonna out grow your kinex net. I have no experiance with this it just seems like it will over grow that.
