This mango smiles did a last minute bulk and it was kinda surprising to me, I wasn’t expecting that but always a nice touch lol.
I take back all the things I said about smaller sativa type buds, it works like that right? Playing Monday morning quarterback?
At this point I’m on the finishing mode, lower light intensity, cooler temps and let her just finish out gently.
Fat face showed her head Thursday night and here is how she looks! She looks like she has an entire ocean to fill!
I did check my runoff and ph before dropping her in, ph was a little high at 6.4 but with time and feedings it will come down, not to worried about it.
My friend and bandmate moved away to California years ago to make electric guitar amplifiers and ended up creating his own line of studio equipment. Mostly just monitors\speakers. He has his own line of speakers. Check out Barefoot Sound . Com
He even met Eddie Kramer, Jimi Hendrix’s studio engineer, and collaborated together with him to design his recent line of studio monitors.
That Mango looks massive! It’s so busy with tons of buds! That was a lot of topping. You got those little side buds to grow out nicely. I normally prune all that lower side stuff off but I can see that if you have enough room it will grow out ok… I run 4 plants in a 4x4 with 700 watts of lighting so I train the heck out of each plant so that it grows small and short
I just grabbed one of the new lights HLG just put on the market, the Scorpion Ultima Diablo. 1500 watts with 8 Quantum boards! Now I will have a light I can play with that will have extra PPFD, it’s rated at 4178 PPFD
efficacy of 2.86 umol\J. It has 2 separate drivers so I have control over the separate Quantum boards with 2 sperate dimmers. Look at this beast of a light! They say it fits in a 4x4. I sure hope so.
Yea she’s busy for sure! A lot going on in there… no topping. I didn’t top this plant at all just a lot of pruning and defoliating!! Like a lot!!! Then it gets to the point I can’t reach the back or get my are in between the plant and the light…
Anyone have some creative ideas to help support my flowers?
It’s been an ongoing issue grow after grow… iv added another net in the past and it’s a PITA to trim the plant out of it… but at this point I feel it’s the only solution…
what scares me a lot of those buds are larger then the 3x3 squares in the net.
My thoughts are add the second net around the time the first picture illustrates and deal with the other stuff later… or let them slump like I have in the past… but I feel supporting them will give me better results.
Or make you a pvc square frame and run string how you need it that way you could prety much do it limb by limb might be a hassle just throwing stuff out😁
The problem with string is I can’t continue training once I get to a point, I can’t reach the back and do what I need to with all the colas in the way.
I thought about having a stainless or aluminum fence material made with like 4inch squares. It would be sturdy, plant isn’t bending that out of the way…
Ain’t that the true lol, I do a lot to try and stress my plants only to keep compact and short, which it does work but not enough… I am about 6 inches shorter this run than last run…
