Strawberry cough round 2 and the frankenplant experiment

So I recently harvested this beautiful girl for just about 4oz



But just before flowering her i took several clones three have been moved to my flowering tent

And the 4th has been designated as my “experimental plant” ill be doing a combination of different training techniques on it such as LST, super cropping and topping. Im open to other suggestions on things i can try if anyone has any I’ve obviously already started the lst and have super cropped one branch

I like it, try a bunch of new things. I am in a grow similar to you. I held a vegging plant back to get some cloning experience. The clones and mom were grown in the corners of the tent in my auto grow. When the autos were harvested I super cropped the mom, and let the clones catch up. It worked pretty well, have an even canopy. They are 4 weeks since light flip. Still pretty new but more confident than my first few. I do top all of my plants. Trying my hand at reg seeds this grow. Good luck.

Yeah i did some super cropping on two of the 3 clones i flipped but I’ve never tried it before so i havent seen the results yet

I bent any branch above the net on the big plant and just kept tucking under the net. When the clones caught up I flipped the lights. Mother is the big plant front right, each of her 3 stalks is equal to a clone’s stump coming out of ground. This grow was not planned but when I realized I could do a quick flower run, I figured out how to do it :joy:.

Dropping an update. I super cropped a second branch and topped two branches im going to give it a few days to recover but before I do any more high-stress training
But shes pretty hardy for having been the runt of the liter so to speak

Pulled out the three clones in flower to do a little trimming and check them over


They’ve streached quite a bit and are starting develop flowers

So i got impatient and since she still looked quite vigorous i decided to move forward a bit i supercropped the first branch a second time


And made two attempts at fimming


I never have any luck with fimming so hopefully this time it works

Topped her remaining branches and supercropped the first branch I originally Topped from here I’ll let her grow out for a bit and make a few decisions about what to do next

The girls are in full flower now based on the mother plant at about the same point in flowering it should be about 6-7 weeks till harvest

Franken plant is still recovering from the toppings i did but has remained hardy and vibrant shes shown a slight bit of new growth and i just gave her a feeding so im expecting an explosion of growth in the next few days

Fraken plant is slowly taking over the tent shes in. I still have plenty of height to play with for now but width is maxed more or less the mother plant and her sisters all stretched to over double their size when flipped even my spider farmer tent is pushing its limits in height with the tgree clones I triggered in there
I love the beauty of the chaos it really forces me to improvise creative solutions

No pics today but I did a bit more super cropping on a few branches on Frankenplant and the fimming of course failed so I topped those branches that was yesterday. This morning I pinned her main trunk down slightly (it runs horizontal across the pot) to even out the canopy height a bit.

Just some pics of the girls on flower today



Nothing to report on frankenplant she’s basically in a holding period while I let her recover a little more
