when using PH up & down u must dilute in water before adding to the nutrients or u will get a chemical reaction. will leave a greyish film on top . check with the ph up & down brand u using
It's easier for me to dilute first and slowly raise or lower I learned quickly one drop of that stuff in a gallon can drop and raise you way way to much
I was finally able to add some Veg nutrients yesterday (we had a lot of rain) getting warm now . I also used the plant training clips to bend stems to 90degree. saves me time from bending & cracking each branch. I used this in my indoor grow & working well so far
I will add pictures of the plant trainers . I took this picture before I added trainers
How you liking the genetics from SS
it wasn’t to bad , I did the Black Hulk & I have something else I haven’t grown yet (can’t remember strain) purple punch was there freebie . first time using them . I didn’t like Homegrown seed bank .
helps give u an idea of moisture content in your Buds . doesn’t work on small airy buds. it cheaper & works just as good as expensive ones
How much did you get it for. Im pretty close with my auto and am pretty lazy when it comes to the dry and cure.
I paid around $10 . I gotten 2 of em at Harbor freight tools .
also it really only good for dense buds . the prongs have to push in bud & u want it to read10-12% moisture
Ooo gotya. Thanks
I did multiple toppings to let the plant bush out with multiple colas . plant had to much internode spacing . I decided to keep plant . I got some more watermelon martini seedlings & Bruce Banner clone waiting to finish rooting. feeding today fish & seaweed with raw honey , blackstrap unsulfured Molasses with Rhino Skin(silica) & sensizym
I topped 3 times for a total of 8 growth sites. They are going through HST and some branches are snapped but thats fine. The manifolding thats forming is absolutely amazing. These gals are taking a huge beating.
they usually pretty durable & can take it .
looking over plants & found a broken lower branch . I use hockey tape it’s a soft cloth that holds & I use a medical wrap lightly over the tape . Try to keep it from being infected & diseased. wasn’t broke to bad . deer might have been walking around plants
🦌 might be dangerous around your grow
opening up the canopy on the Purple Punch . instead of doing Kushman’s chiropractor method I used some clips again . tried them past winter & work well & save some time . still had to manipulate some myself. some clips don’t stay on . still have some left to do . got so hot out . keep on growing everyone . we have a great growing community . 👍👏
finally some sun in the north east . these 90degree clips are cheap for bunch of em & they make opening the canopy a lot easier. purple punch getting close to flower stage . that time of year . my green crack already flowering .
the 3rd picture is the before picture & 2 others were clipped & still have some more canopy to open . the clips do work .
As much as i love the time the clips save, i honestly dont like how the branches knuckled up.
helps with the apical dominance & when that happens it helps keep canopy even . saves me a lot of time . took awhile to manipulate each branch . u still have to manually flatten some branches by hand cause few stems aren’t thick enough to hold clips . been so humid & it usually is where im at helps with air flow . I know what u saying with the knuckling, that actually is good thing helps strengthen the branches makes them stronger & redirects growth. I like to super crop .good thing about growing is so many ways & styles to grow & experiment & have fun
u want the branches to knuckle & calcified. helps plant auxins
u want the branches to knuckle & calcified. helps plant auxins
finishing supercropping before flower cycle , outdoor plant & starting to get less light outside .open up the canopy for more light & some nice air flow from the high humidity.
what's super cropping I do a lot things to my plants I top I train I just don't know the names of everything? plus I'm being dumb this morning ran out of ef edibles I should of made more before I ran out .really helps all the nerve pain I get should say big-time helps wish weed was legal here .I have to do bootleg grows I just put a plant outside a cpl weeks ago I figured it will be what it is
super cropping is when u stress the plant out & purposely damage the branches so the plant triggers its natural defense mechanism . it also allows more light to penetrate. I will basically be a chiropractor & twist the & bend each branch to feel or hear a crack . then u able to flatten that branch down . I been using the 90degree clips to save time & they work well . it causes knuckling & callouses & this creates more resin production. give it a try , I’m sure there a lot of videos on it . I was taught this 30 years ago & always works great
yep I do do it I just didn't know what it's called I have huge knuckles on my chronic tonic but my pineapple muffin is catching up to her .I actually have the yellow bud clips . but my question is .is can u do that in bud too ???
I do all my clips in veg . especially when the branches are strong . I like to pump it up with silica . I got the clips over winter & tried em out & worked well & saved me a lot of time . I got the cheap 90degree benders & some other ones that just slightly bend branch . if u in early flower u can still get away with it . u must have the bud trainers clips . they better
that knuckling is good , it calcifies the roots & plant will create more resin production. I had someone on here tell me that no good . I been doing this over 40 years & learned from my great uncle who had been growing in nj since the 1920’s . it works all the time . so keep on doing it & whatever way is working for u keep doing it & experimenting to find new ways 👍
I love Supercropping my outdoor plants in conjunction with scrog. Helps create an even canopy exposing light to the bottom branches, Stimulates Vascular Development, Triggers hormonal and metabolic response, Supports stronger root development and stronger stems so your buds don’t break during the fattening stage of flower. Overall it’s a must for me.
I’m the same way plus it therapeutic to me . I been trying the clips out to save some time & they do work .
I find it very therapeutic as well. I haven’t used the clips yet but will definitely have to give it a try.
it worth a try & they cheap on Amazon . they also have the ones where u can move em to any degree u want .
sad to hear that the great Ozzy Osbourne has passed away . R.I.P ozzy u were the greatest !!
Fr my girlfriend woke me up and told me about his passing. Forever the Prince of Darkness
I first saw Ozzy during the Bark at the Moon tour with Motley Crue opening act & seen ultimate sin with Metallica as opening act . I was glad I got home from prison in time to see ozzfest Black Sabbath reunion & unfortunately wound up back in Federal prison for growing a freaking plant .
Its great you got to see him, unfortunately I wasnt able to catch any of his shows.
his last 25 years of shows wasn’t great due to his health but still was stoked to see him with Black Sabbath . his early years was pretty amazing & I was fortunate enough to have grown up in that era with all the early metal bands I seen a lot of shows . wasn’t a lot of money & we had to camp out overnight to get tickets that was 1/2 the fun smoking all night & tripping on some good old sheooms
My gramps has a similar story about The Doors and how he snuck in with the decor guys lol
I would of loved to have seen the Doors almost went to Zeppelin but I had some family event & was only 14 so I had no choice but to go . still regret it was the last tour before Bonham died , I might of been 12 my friends older brother was taking us
feeding week #6 advanced nutrients bloom food rhino skin ,calmag, bloom A&B ,B52, tasty terps, Sensizym,kushie kush, Bud candy, Bud factor X, carbo load & Voodoo Plus .. I will be back posting more after the summer harvest . just seems easier to post when growing in tents in garage & too much crap going on over the summer months . I notice a lot more people finding out about this app . great community & let’s keep it that way . we don’t need anyone disrespecting each other . keep the peace that what growing is all about !!
also will be doing a defoliation in the center . just need to get some time . have 10 plants in the back & been difficult getting to all of em
looks great!!!! great color n structure
I feel bad when I cull, last year I took down a lot of babies. This year, even if theyre funky or mishapen, I am going to run them anyways. I have a plant outside currently that has some hideous monster curling leaves but I am gonna give it a shot and see what comes. You never know with the underdogs.
I know what u mean , u also don’t want to waste any time & money feeding it . I’ll decide when my seedlings I have sprouted . I might just keep that & top dress & water only . I have 1 more week left for indoor plants before I shut the tent down for summer & just focus outdoors. also growing beneficial plants that attract the good predators. good luck & looking forward to seeing your progress
Thank you and likewise!
👍
She may end up a keeper. You could clone and flower clone as soon as rooted to rush a sample. My punch mints had similar internodal spacing, it's a cross of purple punch and ice Cream Mints and it punchy AF and packs a bang!
I haven’t decided yet . I’m not a fan of purple punch . I have seedlings going now .
I say if you're not a fan, axe the grow and make room for more
I got it outside so I’ll wait a bit & see how she looks . the punch was the freebies . I got some gear from LIT that I got started . did u get the Free seeds from the grow guide administration? I started a couple then wound up in hospital .
No I never even inquired... I got a ton that's been on the back burners and enough to keep me busy for a hot minute.
he sent out a bunch of packs a month ago
yeah that was pretty awesome
