It's a tricky grow but yeah they are sativa doms so u want a lot of mains, it's easy to burn the flower sets like Makka has, you don't want brown pistils Til 9 1/2 weeks, and she's hungry so it's a challenge, easy to lose half the weight on one bad call tho, I'm sure Yorkies gonna show us how to grow her
Your right Z i thought she was receeding early but wasnt sure wi it being 1st run i think i hit her a bit hard a bit early lol

Only got .8g pW on the gg, Gonna pack the space out a bit more, big nugs and frosty tho, need my casher back
I got just over a box with my 2 600s. I also had a fireballs and an engineers Dream in there as well. That's in a 1.2m squared space. If you got height it yields well for sure

That my next one. I've just taken two thirds of the height off it but I think it'll still out grow my space. I only left really small growing tips on it to try and stunt it. It's been flowering for two days. It's been hacked down three times now and I think it will need another butchering in a week ffs. It can take some abuse I'll give it that lol image.jpg

The plant is sitting in a tray thats 1m long. I have just splayed the branches out as much as possible, tying back to canes if necessary, or the net on the wall. Once the stretch has stopped I'll adjust as required for best spread.
I reckon if you put in canes at 45 degree angles (in the medium or taped to the pot), then train and attach stems to them like a trellis, then you won't have a height issue. Your plant will be skinny and long instead of bushy. I am now praying these fukkers do stretch mega so I can get full advantage of the 2nd light on top.

I've got a tomato cage to stick over it.

I've just flipped a mother gg4 I've grown side ways tied down so it looks like half a mainlined plant, should stretch to a manageable height

Fucking hell how u done that just with topping?
Yep, intense topping mind you.

From clone I cut the main stem out level with the side branches so it had a flat top, then I spent about 3 weeks topping every tip on the plant (Bonsai style) as they grew so that every branch would double up each time.

So I snipped out every growing tip on the plant into 2, then those 2 into 4, then those 4 into 8 as they grew and by that point it was quite large anyway and I've just left it since.

I was in the tent snipping tops as they grew every 2 days for the 3 weeks.



Original intention was to have a small Bonsai mother and not this big beast, unfortunately I didn't realise just how strong the apical dominance is in GG and instead of turning into the small bush with loads of tops I wanted as it's matured it's turned into this massive lanky bush with loads of tops instead. :lol:

My Exo mother is quite large now too, that went through the same procedure but has since had like 35 clones taken from it.

It's about half the height of the GG and around 2/3rds the width.


I've now realised that if you want a relatively proper Bonsai mother you have to start topping from day 1 of the clone being in a pot.
I've got a Livers/Blues in a 4L pot that is more on point as a Bonsai mother cos I started snipping that early.
