Bondage is applied to gently spread her out...and she is pruned for eight........

 

[nugbuckets]

......now we are getting somewhere........

 

[nugbuckets]

...she can be left as an 8 head........

 

[nugbuckets]

....or pruned once again to make a 16 head.....

 

[nugbuckets]

...about this time she is transplanted into her flower pot, and a canopy ring is added....she is then left to veg for an average of 10 -14 days to build some root mass....

man your plants look absolutely beautiful.... they are a fucking work of art!

shit did i interrupt a multipost?

 

[nugbuckets]

....when she is a few inches (in this case) above the ring, she enters her flower cycle........

 

[nugbuckets]

.....10 days later......

.....right about at this point i may super-crop any "stretchers" to even up the canopy......and then prune out the under-story (anything below the level of the ring).....

 

[nugbuckets]

....her 16 mains (in this case)...are soft wire tied to the canopy ring for support and adjustability....

...note:...on an 8 head, 6 mains are soft tied around the perimeter, and 2 are left to grow in the center of the ring....
...on a 16, i prefer to have 12 around the perimeter, and 4 up through the center......

.....

25 days flower....and on it goes........stay tuned for glamour shots in a few weeks in the "TGA by Others" thread......

 

[nugbuckets]

....an "8-head" at 4 weeks flower......

...note:...on this plant, all 8 mains were attached around the perimeter, and the center was left open for ventilation.

Do you clone the main top after pruning?

Do you clone the main top after pruning?

no, it is almost always too small....

Hey Nugs what do you mean by super-crop to even it back up,?

i have 1 plant in flower and the right side is like 4-6" taller then the left side
thinking its from a brake early on in its life

super cropping is "suppression".....whether it is stem cracking, twisting, or folding over...great way to tame the stretchy leaders....if half of your plant is taller, it was probably because of the early energy diversion via damage of some kind.....

Chernobyl #1.........



....quickly becoming a favorite because of it's structure, (you guys know i am all about structure)......this plant is perfect for a 16 headed ML.....but what i like the most is the inter-nodal spacing.....2 inches max....this is an early indicator of a heavy yielder....but the best part, she is getting trichs already at day 18!
