If the tops are going to fry, you're going to lose them.

Just bust them over, like supercropping.

 

[Sr. Verde]

ive been bending them all the way over and they grow straight the fuck back up...


If they slow down/stop growing vertical around day 17-20 thats good news because I think I'm starting day 17 today...

 

[Ganja Geek]

Fuck! I got a stretchy bitch too. My Jack The Rippers are getting crazy tall. Lol Damn man I'm sure you'll think of something. If worst comes to worst I'd say kill one and tie the others down lower. IDK good luck bro.

The spiral seems to be working great for mine every other day I just lay it over again making it spiral around the other branches and I have been able to keep it at 24-25 inches I started mine at 2' then bent it over at 16" made it grow to the side 8" then started twisting it back around it responded very well and didnt stress although i did have a slight cal/mag deficiency for a week but still didnt slow her down

 

[kidgraphix]

this is the TD bout a week after starting the LST I have since pulled the 2 tall node branches down now that there is more room without the huge BBG It is seriously alot of f*&^^5* maintenance Hope it is worth it.

 

[Sr. Verde]

OK....

Big shit happening



I just watered them with 5mL thrivealive/gal... and just cut off a little over a foot of growth! ahhhhhhh I hated every snip :'( Felt like I was cutting off someones toes, but leaving them alive!


They look streeeeeeeeeeeeessssed as fuck right now... day 17 flowering... HOPE they don't hermie, but knowing this strain I'm thinking they just may!



I'm going to order new seeds off attitude soon.... What should I order?? Need a small/medium feminized plant! Good genetics none of this retarded shit!

Ill post pics later, but i cut them from like 2ft 8 inches to 1ft 8 inches.. from soil...





WE will see...


Interesting experiment I GUESS you guys better take notes on my fuckups i'm so annoyed at this turn of events... i'm now investing more time and stress than I ever wanted to.

verde try some Superthrive $9.99 in walfart, 1 drop per gallon, helped mine out tremendously, i added 1 drop p/g in my res, then added 2 dropps to bottle of seltzer water & spray them once a day as lights come on, 2 days of this changed them dramaticly, hope this helps

 

[DarthD3vl]

Oh no, they got to big? that sucks man..

I'm using Thrive Alive... same thing basically.

Oh no, they got to big? that sucks man..

Yeah they did, but they are perked back up reaching for light today! Crazy... I wonder if the Thrive Alive did work on them

I'm wondering if they will hermie...

pics coming at you in a second

 

[Sr. Verde]

Here we go..

I snapped the pic right when I was done chopping the tops.. they perked RIGHt back up today though, reaching up to the light again

Hopefully giving myself another foot to work with on day 17 here. Hopefully they wont hermie, and they won't outgrow the tent..

Sad plants

 

[upthearsenal]

Ouch.... to be honest I've never seen anyone have to do something like this, I too hope they don't hermi on you. What about some reverse?

Day 19 Tangerine Dream:

They bounced back yesterday, and keep on truckin'

If I chop the tops down at 17 days... and water with thrive alive, and they show NO signs of stress.... will they still hermie? I guess we will find out, if nobody knows!

Tent... actually looking pretty good now

Flowers

Topped... eek

Introduced 42w 2700k CFL underlighting

honest thoughts please.. im just going to grow it out if i can

 

[Bonzi Lighthouse]

I think they will be fine.

 

[420God]

Looking good, glad they perked back up for you.

 

[whoo]

Just a quick question about your setup. I see you have an inline fan for exhaust, and a circulating fan inside the tent. Is an intake fan not necessary to get fresh air into the tent?

 

[Bonzi Lighthouse]

Allow me.

No, an intake fan is not necessary. Passive intake with an exhaust fan is the proper setup.
