Seb's Big Kush, Blueberry Cookies & Critical+2.0 grow

[Exhale]

They filled out quick since Sunday 

 

Love it, push them and push them some more 

[seb88]

@Exhale cheers man! It's crazy how quick things seem to be progressing.

I thought all the bending would have slowed things down a bit but no!

 

Bring on the stretch 

[Jibba jabba]

Alright there @seb88

 

How’s it going mate?

 

Your plants are doing well, 

 

Let the stretch commence.

 

Take it easy. Jj

Hi @Jibba jabba thanks for popping in

Cheers man, all is going swimmingly at the mo but there's still chance to mess it all up haha!

 

It's now been a week of 12/12, here they are at the start of day 8 of flower

 

 

They are filling out the floor space quite nicely. Pretty happy that my canopy is all fairly level at the moment  too with 5 different strains in there. Hopefully it stays that way!

 

Cheers

Seb

Stunning work love the canopy. This should be a sight to behold in a couple a weeks.

Toke...

[seb88]

Thanks @tokenroll hope you're doing well mate

[tokenroll]

@seb88 yes m8 all is well over here, hope all is well your side. Im a little slow at getting round to read diaries there is that many on the go in all different sections, but get there in the end.

Im going to follow along and see how this goes.

Toke...

We are now 2 weeks into flower - I spoke too soon about the nice level canopy. My sat dom sexbud (not dinafem) has gone a bit crazy and is starting to outgrow my space and will need some supercropping to drop it back down to match the other plants. 

 

Here they are at the start of day 15

 

 

Cheers

Bit late to start chopping them about now, isn't it ?

Supercropping is different from chopping

OK, i stand corrected.

So what is supercropping ?

[seb88]

@thatman by supercropping I mean bending the tallest stems down 90degrees so they are horizontal. I then use some ties to hold them down at that level.

 

After a couple of days all the individual buds will point up to the lights. 

 

It's high stress training and the stems can split so you have to be careful. I've had to tape the 90deg bend up a few times in the past...

 

I'll grab some pics when I do it if you like

No need ol'chap, i thought that was normal procedure like LST.

If you twist the stems a bit while bending, they won't break.

I'm now 3 weeks into flower. There's been a fair bit of stretch in the last week but everything seems to be slowing down now. 

The two Critical+2.0's are a little shorter and stockier than the Big Kush / Blueberry Cookies.

 

I've just given them all a lollipop to remove the lower bits not getting too much light, and help with the humidity in there.

 

I've also installed some troph blumat drippers to try out. I originally tried running 4 distribution drippers off each carrot but I don't seem to have the water pressure (gravity fed) for them all to drip at the same rate. I'm going to install a second carrot per pot to give a better coverage, but they seem to be doing a nice job so far.

 

With the really stretchy sexbud, I didn't end up supoercropping it, the stems were still fairly bendy so they were bent over and tied down to the pot.

 

Here they are at the start of day 23

 



 

Before and after the lollipop

 

 

Cheers
