I’ve taken the 2nd and 4th nodes from each branch leaving each with 2 nodes with 2 growth tips each, so 8 growth tips total.

My goal is a uniform “crown” of 8 colas so I’ll continue to train each growth tip as they get larger to guide them into that shape.

Thanks, yeah she’s coming along :)

Thank you!

All stapled down 1 day later… https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/af8a0e19-53a0-4800-b9d0-31c3af8f699a.jpeg

I have no idea, these were random seeds collected from various strains from dispensaries over a few years. Can’t complain too much about free!

@ed with surprising frequency

“@ed”? This is new to me, what do you mean?

should not tolerate them at all when growing outdoors so I don’t seed someone else’s crop?

That’s my personal take yeah, my nearest downwind neighbor is a ranch about a mile away and I don’t think they’re growing but you never know.

My neighbor went full-on intentional seed factory in his gh over the winter, I guess that was low-risk though.

Oh gotcha that makes perfect sense, not sure where my head was at there 😅

Beautiful!

The idea is to get a slow controlled cure and not a quick dry.

I’m in an arid climate and I generally cut individual branches, let those dry, then harvest the buds, but some of my friends just hang the entire plant up to dry. If you’re in a humid climate then you might look at cutting it down to individual buds.

Lots of good info at www.growweedeasy.com/drying-curing and elsewhere :)

It takes some practice for sure. I’ve personally landed on a single jet zippo torch and 3 burns per bowl, starting with a quick burn near the tip for that initial flavor hit then working my way down to the base of the bowl with longer burns to get those clouds.

Right on, I’ve got a POTV Lobo with the dosing capsules. Love those things, keeps everything nice and clean :)

I love your setup, my tiny 4x6 is a bit challenging to get around in late in the season.

LeanFemurs, 15 days ago

I pitched them, I considered taking clones but I’m about at my limit for plants I have time to take care of.

LeanFemurs, 14 days ago

yeah I hear that, it’s gonna be a long time to get the manifold established. I’m doing this one mostly for fun and curiosity, if I actually get a good yield out of it then that’s just a bonus :)

LeanFemurs, 14 days ago

What I’m doing is referred to as a mainline grow, it’s a type of plant training designed to get you a uniform set of 8 colas (the main flower stalk) instead of a single cola. It can increase the final yield and it looks pretty cool: www.growweedeasy.com/mainlining-nugbuckets

My greenhouse girlies did pretty well last year with zero training.

Got this monster cola out of one: lemmy.world/post/6442642

And this one topped herself twice, it was the dangedest thing: lemmy.world/post/6772062

Now the real torture begins… https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e81626f2-d8a8-4290-bcc3-2ee5fae45e53.jpeg

Thanks! This is my 4th grow, I’ve always used soil but this is the first time I’m using live compost instead of liquid nutes.

LeanFemurs, 15 days ago

Yep, it’s my own compost loaded with veggie scraps plus male plants and root balls from previous grows. I also may or may not pee in it now and then 🤫

I’m still using liquid nutes on my indoor grow, don’t want all those crawly bois in my bedroom haha

Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well.
