Today, I got around to building the screen for the large THC Bombs in the big room. It is 28 inches off the floor and has 2 inch square netting. The interior screen space is 1ft. 6inches by 2ft. 10inches. The materials to make it cost me under 5.00 dollars. The Bombs also got a thorough pruning of all the lower growth and a significant amount of fan leaves. Normally I do not hack them so much, but the screen is a different environment and needs a different type of growth. The stress should slow them down almost a week too; which, is needed for the White LSD to catch up to the height of the Bomb's screen. The whole purpose of the screen is to allow the rest of the room to catch up naturally.
I snapped some before and after pruning pictures. The after pics are how I normally would prune in case others wondered what "removing lower growth" looks like. I did additional pruning once they were under the screen that is not readily shown. I reaped 15 - 7inch branches for a test of the new clone bucket which should arrive tomorrow. They will have to be given away because I have no room for them. They are now in a tall glass of distilled water and will remain there until the cloner arrives.
The mothers' buds are starting to fatten and lengthen more and more each day. Frosty all over. Stinking up the room nicely. If I haven't mentioned it already: The mother on the left was trimmed pre-flower to have only half the bud sites of the mother on the right. They were grown this way through-out as well. The idea is to see if more bud sites really equals more bud, or, does the same yield only spread itself among the increased bud sites. Everyone knows that to top a branch will result in the closest young branches to the cut forming two new branches. If you top those two new colas, you can get 4, and so on... I trimmed the right mother with this in mind, through-out its life. The left mother remained unprunned mostly. The right mother is sucking MUCH more Nitrogen from the leaves and is dropping them at a much faster rate. Almost all fan leaves are completely yellow. The buds have significantly more red hairs already and are noticeably taller, yet not as fat as the left mothers' buds. The left mother has a slightly more compact and frosty appearance and retains most of the dark green leaf color.
The leaf pile is a total of everything cut off all three, even after the move under the screen.
