Ok!! here we go.
Day 26 Veg, Jack Herer x Old school Skuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunk!!!
Day 26 Vegging, 2 days have passed since i cut my tips away, already the diversion has taken place. You will clearly be able to see some crown sections all over the sections i snipped, it's a little hard to tell, but look closely as the growth is already been 3 + inches since i snipped. (there is a tiny snip section then the lower node below will have come up next to it. The plant will space herself accordingly for the next couple of days.
Weird..... still be going around 28 days veg!!?? same as usual, the stunting from dark periods stunted her, but too early to tell if the different growth pattern will pay off. I've had to snip..... and snip..... you couldn't imagine. Some puny branches 2-3 inches in length tracing along the bottoms of the main branches from all the re-vegging. Incredible really! A new node almost every cm or so! With the weird growth pattern she exhibited she certainly didn't stretch the way i wanted, and i blasted her with light raising my pot for some time then brought her right down for stretching and nothing really happened except for growing an insane thick bush! I could not get my hands in there until i started cleaning up the crap. No light down there = lower than average quality fluff so best to snip off early before flowering so my stress period will be over and back into Full Bore mode!!! 2-3 days max. I guarantee.
Here is a shot before i started my scrog training.
Day 26!!
Here is an extreme close-up of a 'WHITE FLY EGG' after it has been born, i couldn't find any more then 2 on 1 branch this one being NOT intact, the other still very small, and instantly crushed to death! This egg looks VERY unique and strange. I have seen this almost EVERY grow like clock work, its hard to get around as i possibly bring them inside. I'm looking into another form of pest control soon (electric sonic sounding) I use chilli and garlic insect spray at the moment which leaves a residue that is a little itchy on the skin, so after application i always rinse the plant down well and clean ALL THE WALLS inside the tent. Water or liquid will dry and cause those window spots, and that will soak up valuable UV light! clean reflective material maximizes the Lamps efficiency in your setup so every little thing helps in my opinion.
Anyway....... the egg, behold. Before you get to worried, i am always onto these straight away and rectify and never have an issue for the rest of flowering for some reason. I spray my chilli spray every week, but there is those days where they have a free pass and the leaves are safe for them to eat so they can lay their singular rare eggs on the leaf stem. They can destroy your leaves if you don't get onto them quick smart, they leave mucus and this mucus is bacteria, which may lead to fungal disease in a low immunity system.
Cleanup time of low exposure branches, anything that really isn't going to help my quality or yield.
Clean as a whistle! golden iso/honey and a little side of my favourite extracted shellite honey.
Time to fit the 2 x Layers of netting. The first it to pull the plant down, and spread her legs. this will expose even more inner branches that i purposely left on to produce nice dense colas. The second layer of netting is to help support my Bigest colas and the overall canopy. This time i'm going to need it
she's not quite corner to corner in the tent like i hoped, BUT she's twice as bushy, and the amount of tops is laughable!! She will do the usual stretch during flower, and should work out absolutely perfect
Thanx all for being here, i'll finish up my post with my further training pics of smaller tips that i left single, and look closely for the spots i snipped where they have multiplied. I would show you but have no editing software for my camera, only just found photoshop the other day, but need to do the whole computer cleanout thing again. its getting close to another 10000 pics in my folder lol
I train the small tips by VERY CAREFULLY sliding them under the tightened netting, and carefully try to splice my nodes over and under the thin plastic netting and this will help them spread out slightly instead of stunting. Still better than just leaving the, as it also adds strength making a stronger stem that can support more weight and drink more water and nutrient. I do the same again with my new mains and secondaries if anything is needed when i hit flowering stage and a little more training to maintain consistency, and keeping good airflow, It gets thick quick, replenishes and overgrows profusely. But she's a big plant.......... what more could i possibly ask for?! she's drinking like Hanock a good 15-16 litres per 24hrs. The final pics are of everything in place, ready to perk up again. Tomorrow will show great improvement and hopefully another 2-3 inches. and 1-2 more nodes. I want 3-4 then i'm flowering. You know it!!!!
mmm i can almost taste it hahaha
