Anyone experimented with topping the new heads caused by LST?

I’ve got a question for you in particular since you grow once a year. How long would you say your buds are nice and fresh for before they start degrading from being stored too long? I’ve been thinking it may be beneficial for me to grow a bulk amount once per year rather than a few grows but I’ve never actually had bud sitting for longer than a month or so. So how longs the shelf life? Cheers

My jar of choice: the 2L Bernardin Jars with the two piece ring & rubber rimmed lids.



Cdn Tire sells 6 packs for $24.00. If you are lucky, you might get 'em on sale for $19.99. One of these 3/4 full holds about 2.5 oz. cured bud.

Light and heat break down the terpenes and cannabinoids quickly so store the jars in a cool and dark place. I've kept a stash well over 1 year in the basement under one side of my work desk. Dark and cool and out of the way.

The plants themselves look good. But ... what you have is not a SCROG. You are using trellis netting which will help to support the branches as the bud puts on weight in a few weeks.

SCROG-ing requires weaving the branches through the mesh to spread plants outward before you flip. By weaving your branches, you are allowing bud sites lower down the branch to become part of your main canopy thereby increasing the number of tops when you flower.

You don't need to weave the plants to call it a scrog lol. Get outta here. It literally means screen of green. He has a screen of green...

Hmmmm.

Not sure about that at all to be honest. Both, LST and Screen of Green are totally different methods in my opinion.

Here my individual scrog except the sorry ass in the middle which was super cropped half way up its main stalk. That's was last night but it's facing up again now.

4 weeks old from seed these and had 2 sessions of defoliating already.

That’s what I was thinking. I didn’t realize it wasn’t the right type of net when purchasing but figured it could be used for a scrog anyway, so that’s what I’ve tried to do. Cheers

You don't need to weave the plants? In a SCROG, yes you do. The screen allows you to spread plants out laterally to create a large canopy. The green comes once that large canopy fills in.

If you don't believe me ... please feel free to look it up.

I have been weaving, I was agreeing that the trellis can be used as a scrog to some degree.

Yeah ... to some degree. But that style of netting does have limitations. They can have some difficulties keeping the canopy flat once your plants start getting large.
