Vertical growth, popcorn buds?

Wildwelder303 · Dec 4, 2020

This is Penelope, she is Island Sweet Skunk. 2 weeks in flower under LEDS, Grown in low NPK soil but added flora nova during veg and one week into flower. Because of the vertical growth will I be left with popcorn buds or will these bulk up? I mean I know we will see very soon just thought ide ask.

Popcorn Bro...internodal spacing is too far...next time during veg, dial lights back and get closer to tighten them up.
Good luck.

Thats what i thought.. thanks man.. how much do you estimate total production?

That is too hard a question, depends upon many factors.
No need to worry about that Friend, just keep her healthy until harvest, learn and make improvements next run.
Good luck...

yeah man i just finished my first harvest keep an eye out for spider mites any sign of any critters act fast i learned the hard way i will say 2 weeks in mine were kinda skimpy looking you will know a lot more by week 4 good luck i think my total weigh in for 3 plants in 5 gallon soil vegged for 30 days was about 3 quarters

also plan the next run genetics plays a major roll in it

Wildwelder303 · Dec 4, 2020

Next run im doing 4 plants and with what ive learned during this grow im fimming them for sure.

Only one week into flower, looks good to me fella, popcorn is just down to light penetration down below, also some plants especially sativa influenced always stretch massively, so just trial and error, you could supercrop/bend over branches to have all the buds at the same height, then no popcorn bud.

Fimm or top them a few times and super cropping is the key.

I think you are referring to l.a.r.f. but ok....when internodal spacing is tight, nice large class can be grown.
When the spacing is far apart, you will get popcorn or individual smaller buds, that when harvesting can be like picking popcorn nuts off individually.
I least that is my understanding of it, lol.
Peace.

I've seen people call the larf popcorn before but not for years and it's not how I usually hear it described.
I also have a mother plant that produces clones with lots of branches and popcorn buds but it's not so bad when its covered with nugs every couple inches. The smoke is stronger than a lot of the bigger bud stuff I have at the moment.

Absolutely...bud structure does not quantify quality, thats for sure.

I sort of wish it did haha. Just kidding, I try to appreciate each variation for what it is.

@Wildwelder303 as for your buds, I would say they'll bulk up for sure from what they are now but they don't look like they'll be hella swole.

Wildwelder303 · Dec 5, 2020

Naw i didnt think the would be swoll... its ok i figd ide do a natural grow with this plant.
*natural by means of no cutting. I learned a lot tho with this girl. Thanks yall

I do this now?
Im highly interested.

madvillian420 · Dec 5, 2020

you can still have a decent harvest. sometimes they stretch. those nugs will bulk up some no doubt.

pulpoinspace · Dec 5, 2020

Wildwelder303 · Dec 5, 2020
