Hey guys. Sorry j lost the link to this and couldn't remember which site. Plus I've been super swamped and stressed from the business. Anyways. I topped her a second time so she now has 4 cola shoots. I was thinking of stopping there on this one. But I have two more I topped. One is a regular seed tho so don't know it its female. And the other I think is feminized That one I topped once and actually was almost about to top again when i noticed one of the cola shoots turned into a Whorled trifoliate. I have one of those in Flower now and love it. But if you top them they say they revert back to producing diploid sets instead of keeping the trilateral Qaulity of three of everything. After reading that they revert back. I'm now thinking about leaving this one just at Two. Maybe top the one side and it is bigger so I think it would catch up to the trifoliate side Idk. But thinking about just leaving it Two Colas. Let it recover a little more and throw it in Flower cus I'm behind a bit on that. Maknlining is going smooth and nice but takes time and j need some jn Flower. I have a bunch of clones. I'll post the clone question in another area tho. Side branches are rooting great in powder and coco. But tops are turning to moosh and not rooting. Why only the tops. Anyways. I have 3 mainlined now. One has 4 cola shoots. Two have only been topped once. So far so good. Oh yeah. I topped a clone too so K have 3 total now. Here's some pics. And my TRi plant that is in flower and full of buds Ontop. It was just grown or naturally tho and wish I could have trained it more and gave nutrients more in early stages. But oh well. No more Auto grows foR More. Darn auto mixed in ruined the others. My mistake tho

Here's some more pics of the ones I have in flower.

I actually almost ripped them out cus when the auto flowered I topped my one and the other was trifoliate. I also couldn't train or pump full of nutrients cus j was afraid it would hurt the auto more than help it. But I should have cut the auto as a loss and just fed them nutrients early on. It was kind of sloppy cus it's been a while since j grew but then after I flower these. My Led panel burnt up. And then my CFL and Led on the one side fell and busted when j was removing the LED panel. I didn't have money and was actually waiting on a new HOS 600w so it waited 10days So they had minimal light for almost 2 weeks. I know that is going to mess the yeild up bad. But oh well. It's just some personal medicine for now. The next ones will be much better and I got some spores coming to start shrooms again. I just haven't had the money or found anyone with spores to trade yet. So if anyone comes across someone that has spores. I'll pay shipping. They are legal so no worries there either. I know once I get going better j will be passin free seeds and spores out for newbies or people that just need a hand. That's how it should be. I love a barter system. I hate monetary but it's everywhere now

Also instead of a V why not just cut the stem at like a 45? I always cut mine at an angle instead if straight across if that makes sense.

Oh. And on this subject. Like I mentioned it's been a few years since j grew. It wasn't suppose d to be a V. It was suppose to be like an angle cut. Like an A. Not a V. See what I mean. Someone had shown me years ago and I just started doing it and none of them split when I did it. I was confused and couldnt remember why it didn't look right no matter which direction I cut the V. It's cus I was all wrong. Lol. Whoops. It's cut in a A shape angle and then you can put a few small rubber bands over the tip to help it from splitting. I actually messaged the guy and had to ask him cus I could not remember at all

Oh. And thanks again for all the opinions. I wasn't really asking to do them. They were more just random thoughts and random ideas I was wondering about. As far as the tieing to the cut stem I agree I don't know if it would be a good idea. But it would be nice to make it that easy. Lol. I was thinking about making a snowflake shaped type disc with a hole in the middle. You stick the disc in the middle over the price of stem. And the. Attach the colas to
The edge of the disc. And then make attachments so you can add a disc once they grow a bit. A second disc with legs would clip into the first disc. I was only thinking about soemthing like this disc cus you could attach a small fan or dehumidifier to help avoid mold or bud rot I'm very creative and always messin around making different things like this. So don't mind me Lol. I get lots of ideas that I like to see people's opinions on. Some may be stupid. Others are already invented Like the bucket with a Cage that clips right onto the bucket. Someone sent me a link to buy one. I never had seen them before but I thought of the idea randomly Lol. Too late. Others must be just has creative. Haha. Another benifit of cannabis. Creativity also can be enhanced Anyways There's always room to
Grow ourselves too. And I love coming up with new ways to do things and creating new things to make growing easier or atleast more convenient to work with and work around it.

I worried about the plants I have in flower right now. The first grow in years and it was a bit of a mess at first but then once I flowered them finally they were looking ok. But I had lights burn out and I broke one removing the burnt out light and it had little light for 2 weeks. It flowered 4weeks ago. 2 weeks with decent lighting LED and CFLs Then 2 weeks with only a few CFLs 42w And then j put 600w HPS on it cus I got tired of messing with lights this time. Lol. Not enough time But what do you guys think. You think it will be ok?

They're hardy plants, where there's a will, there's a way!

Wishing you luck bro, hopefully you're fine.

Those look pretty nice. I just snapped a picture of these today so here ya go. About 4 more weeks to go tho on these so I'm sure they will fatten up more yet. Since I got my new light they are building up some nice colas now. I'm happy to see them doing this good considering this is a disaster grow technically I know many grower would have gave the. Away or chopped them but they were all I have for now until my others catch up

Thanks. Looking good. Mine aren't that far along yet tho. I hope they look half as good atleast tho. Lol. They are coming out better than I thought they would since it was technically a screwed up grow but they suprised me a bit and are do decent. Hoping they won't be so Airy but they do have 4more weeks atleast so I think I will have a decent product to get me by until these next ones produce. They will yeild a lot more Im Sure.

But I still can't decide wether to leave my Main plant with 4 colas of if I should finish the Manifolding and get the 8 full cola tops with it. Can't decide yet but I'm letting the growth shoots grow out a bit longer first and then make the decision. That way they have grown a good bit already plus I can get 4 clones hopefully. I haven't had much luck with rooting tops with the coco and powder but I can root the tiniest of growth shoots. A few were not even an inch long and I rooted them in the coco So I'm going to try misting them like a Cloner instead and see if they root that way.

Clones from upper branches seem to be more difficult to take root I usually have about the 70% success rate.

Clones from lower growth on the plant seem to have quite the higher success rate. Typically the only way I mess that up is through neglect.

In regards to going between four or eight colas, the only question that should really come into play is how much time do you have?

If you can afford a week, week and a half, go for 8 if not stick with 4.

I can but I can't. Lol. I think I may just throw this kne in with 4 and then I have some clones and also a few more small clones from that one itself So I can go eight with those. But right now I have two in flower and all of these are still a week away from flower and I only have 4more weeks to harvest those two. So I should be putting some into flower right now actually. But I don't think any of these are ready for flower. Tall enough is what I mean. Here's a picture so I can get a second opinion. Which one do you think I could stick into flower right now. I'm thinking. Either white pit may be ok. A little early but I think they will do good. They will have one week atleast before they start so they will have more growth yet too. The one in the middle white container is piping out cola shoots everywhere so I was thinking since I have two growth shoots growing level with the main cola. And the one main cola turn trifoliate so I don't what to cut it now. I'm thinking it can go into flower now but it would be a little early. But should still do good tho right? See what you think. A second opinion always help cus I'm not much for patience and I'm constantly having to catch myself. One of the way I do that is ask another grower. When someone says wait. It's easier for me to take a step back and wait

I apoligize it looks a mess. My cabinet is bowing and falling apart and I use cheap things to pot in too. Getting cloth bags soon though.

Like 6ftwideX 3ft deep and 6ft high but want to try to keep them below 3ft so I can leave the light 1ft away and still have room for the light. Basically if you ever seen the front of a Ford Van. I took the seats out and I have the whole front floor section. The two plants now are sitting on the brace for the seats. I have plenty of room around them but would have to hang my pots up higher closer to the light. Which isn't an issue at all but just not sure if

It's the front of a class C RV tho. So I want to try to move my light down level with the roof of the Van. And then the section above where the bed would be for the RV. I was going to make into a Veg section. BUT right now. It's all open so my light is hanging from the Vent on the rv ceiling down to about 1-1.5ft away from my plants. But these plants are 3ft about and I have them sitting up Ontop of the seat bracket so if they grow toward light too much I can just lower them Or raise the light. Either
