Started a new setup on 05/29 i have 4 gallon pots in a 4x4 tent will 16 tops be too much for that space going to mainline them n also do the swazzing technique any comments will help thanks
Cool, I will be following. 16 may be tight. I will be doing 3 plants with 8 colas. I will tag a long here. I am getting close to doing the main line. Maybe a week more ![]()
I recently manifold 3 8 tops of Blueberry .moonrocks and a Gelato Girl scout cross.
I got these to 8 tops
But then the plants stalled due to an over abundance of nutrition as the setup took so long. ( I run organic and every 2 weeks it got an add ). I also could not hit them with the lights required to shine as the gelato was a huge leafed indica leaning beast who was easily damaged when pushed over 45,ooo lux where the widows in the same tent were at almost 6ok lux
When you build the manifold I found out when you go from a 6 node bush to a twig on a stick.
You must dial down the nutrients as the load on the pot will be reduced until it brings its leaf count back up. Mineral fertilizer would be easier than my organic run with its ability to reduce and add quickly rather than a 10-14 day wait to see if I got it right.
I use Jacks. So no issues with feeding. I am use coco my self. I have started a few of these my self. Then let my brain tell me to keep growing them out big as to keeping them trimmed. this will be my first attempt to keep them correct. I just noticed the plants I have now are younger than I though. They will need at least a week or 2 before ready to cut. The first I do I plan on trying to make seeds with. This is one I did years ago.
You can see where I should have trimmed more on the side branches
@Not2SureYet @Pothead64 appreciate the feedback i also grow organic i like it because I don’t have to worry about ph n other stuff too much n have had great results i usually have 2 gallon pots this time I’m trying 4 gallons thinking of doing 16 tops on each pots might be too much for the 4x4 tent
I think you will be fine at 16…i’ll tag along too
@Riskguy thanks great to hear from you again appreciate u on my last grow
@Pothead64 @Riskguy @Not2SureYet just did my second topping one branch got broken hopefully it bounces back this is the start of 3rd week of veg growing in organic super soil under scorpion diablo x light around 400 ppfd n just using spring water with ac infinity self watering pots
Looks like you are treating them right. I like that you try different styles…best way to find what works for you.
Thanks you have any plants going at the moment
Nice girls what kind looking like your getting ready soon
They liked the hot and humid days. 3 are about 2 weeks out…the others a couple after that. In the Picture are a Bruce Banner, Cheese, Tangerine, Acapulco Gold, and a Banana Purple Punch.
Looking bruda be glad when I’m there
@Not2SureYet @Pothead64 @Riskguy starting 4th week of veg just did 2nd topping today before n after pic strain candy games #38 what do you all think
3rd topping not 2nd
@Pothead64 looks great i just got done topping 16 tops on each plant think I’m going to stop at 16 pictures i sent was before topping then after I topped
