Liberty Haze

Res change and photo day. Wow. I'm so happy with them. They've been running up around 900PPM all week and loving it all day. They're growing so well that I've decided space may be an issue in the future, so I've put up the screen, which I also kind of did just because I wanted to. :) If I've done it wrong, too soon or whatever - please tell me

They are looking beautiful chained. So green and full. And nice to see the screen up bro .... itll fill in no time ..... cant wait to see your tent turn into a tropical forest ;-)

Thanks, Dr, I'm quite excited to learn SCROGing and I think It'll be fun. I'm figuring this out as I go so any tips and tricks with a SCROG you've got, please say :) I saw on your grow you've pinched the branches a little bit to weaken them, I've also read about that before of course, but felt a bit worried to kill something. I might try it though my branches are quite thick

No worries bro ... and as far as crushing the stem, just squeeze it gently between your two fingers until you hear the cracking or crushing sound. The stem will simply bend over 90 degrees. Just support it that way under the screen strings or tie it down. If the outter layer of the stem breaks, dont worry. As long as its still attached, just tape it and itll heal ;-)
Also during veg and while training and filling the screen, defoliate under the screen slowly, a few fan leaves at a time from each girl. By the time you flip, it should be a green screen and bald underneath .... start from the lower most leaves and move up

Oh, thanks, yeah I was wondering about that - it's so dense under there. I also want to take some clones this week. The best of the three planta I want to take, say, four to six cuttings and hopefully make a bonsai mother... Which I'll take cuttings from for the very next grow :) I'll start to trim the odd leaf off now.
 
A couple of days ago I pruned some leaves down low. I was looking at it today and I don't really know how much I'm meant to take off. (The picture is taken after pruning...)

If I understand right, I'm meant to trim it back down there for circulation but it's also so when I flip them to 12/12 all the 'energy' will be put into growing the buds. That's going to be a couple of weeks away, so - is it better to just trim back dead stuff and keep photosynthesis going now if the leaves down low are healthy and green, or, keep pruning a little bit every day so that when I DO flip the girls it wont be as much of a shock, as in I wont have to suddenly cut away 40% of it's growth?

Wow look at how bushy she looks .... thick stems and lots of smaller shoots ... really beautiful

Thanks, green, I'm doing my best! It seems to be growing well

Thanks a lot, Dr, I've been lucky indeed. I love to pull up a stool and just admire it for a bit, ha ha. Internodes nice and close together with branches growing in every direction, I hope the current plant health is indicative of the end result...

I'm getting a heat mat today, so I'll take a few clones and that'll be my pruning for today. In other news the #2 plant has made it to the screen now :)
 
A lovely sight, isnt it?! I love standing by the screen and watching it get greener every day .... you're doing a great job brother those girls look happy
What I usually do is let the branches grow up 3 inches or so, then I pull them down and redirect them to an adjacent square or the next one over!

Thanks bro, and yeah it's a great sight and feeling. I think back only a month and look at the progress. It's growing so well, I think, and it feels like it took me months and months to get myself organized, set up and read up enough to start the grow then suddenly I have these awesome plants! :D

I'm topping up the res/water with about 5L every second day now and with that I'm also having to add more nutrients, brining the PPM back up to the 900's. Before last week I hadn't been adding nutrients to the top up water, just plain RO water, but the plants are just so thirsty and hungry now! I can't imagine what the tent is going to drink when it's full of massive colas! The pH is sitting so stable, at 5.8~5.9, that I haven't had to adjust it since the last reservoir change five days ago. That's one of the things Im really stoked about, as when I started this I was adjusting the pH twice a day.

Three inches, okay yeah that makes sense. I've been a bit over eager and trying too soon, though no harm done. Also - I pinched a branch to bend it over, send it out sideways, like we spoke about... It's only a day or so on but i think it's okay! I'm starting to learn a bit more about what one can get away with - the plant is pretty resilient.

Well done brother! ... actually nothing is wrong with the way you do it, as long as you dont hurt the shoots. You can keep doing what youre doing or wait longer. Spread the branches out and allow some smaller ones in the middle to come up. Defoliate any fan leaf blocking the light from a nice potential branch trying to reach the screen. Dont worry about the small and very low branches that probably wont make it to the screen by the time you flip. Actually, go ahead and clip those. As you noticed this plant is very resilient. But you dont want to shock her with too much manicuring in one day ;-) keep doing what your doing and soon youll taste the citrusy flowers which will put a goofy smile on your face and make you so dang chatty your fingers cant type fast enough lmfao (I just had myself a bow of LH) Its such a reward after a long and painfully productive day!
I have a main cola still from a LH I grew in soil 2 years ago NICE less trippy .... The longer you cure it, the cleaner the effect is with her. Also, let a few colas go longer after harvesting the girls. Allow them to get more amber. Then cut them down. And see for yourself where your like this strain to be in terms of the effects ya get and how ripe it gets. Do this with any sttain for future reference! I gotta go read a boring article. Maybe Ill but a chair up by my scrog and read it there :-p

Thanks Dr! I did a bunch of pruning today, both from down low and some fan leaves up top to let light through a bit. Hopefully I didn't break anything or cause shock... I feel i was a bit rough with her. There's a bit more light coming in now so I expect that to do some good things.

Oh man I can't wait to smoke some of this LH, I've heard it can be pretty damn strong. Wow, after two years it must be... well, actually I don't know, but I bet its amazing.
I'm going to need help later with drying and curing, but yeah I've though about harvesting at different times, in relation to how amber it gets, so I think I will do that and see what difference it makes for me. I'm happy to experiment like that and really narrow down what I want from this strain

Hah, relaxing by the SCROG with a good book.
