Sorry about the misunderstanding... I had 3 autos in the tent with her. She's a photoperiod girl! And I was waiting for someone to point out my hot and cold... just needed a corner piece for the tent. I have another grow over at growdiaries.com and manifolding two other stains. Come check it out!

LOL brother...I was over here frantically searching the net for this meter tall auto I was so excited. You're creative to use that for the corner! I love grow diaries, I'll check it out

Haven’t done shit in 3 years. Ready to reread this whole thread to refresh on before these girls are ready for their first cut and bondage. Eager to get to the new content!

Theres a few of these yellow things underneath some of the buds on one plant, does anyone know what they are.

Those are definitely ball sacks, it's a herm

Hey guys need some quick advice. Is it too early to do the first chop for my 1st split for the mainline? I have very limited height so if I stunt her a bit i think that may be to my advantage.

 

[JohnDee]

Yes...tall enough. I see 3 nodes above the cotyledon. First topping is above the 3rd node. Careful with the new growing shoots...

JD thanks for the response, is this where I should snip?

 

[JohnDee]

Nope...when you count up 3 nodes...don't count the cotyledons unless there are fan leaves there too. So I'd go above that node that you are under. Up one node.

Awesome thank you! Do I trim away the shoots below it right away leaving only the fan leaves or let those go for a bit?

Leave them for now. Later, once other upper leaves grow...then defol. under...they are the plants energy source.

....with this beautiful Ace of Spades, i built a foundation to support 8 long equal colas, none discriminated by the root mass........at first, a node is left below the "hub" to produce two perfect clones....after they are removed, the two mains are pruned for four and bonded to the trunk.....

we share the same grow style,i was wondering if any one else grew like I do,im def into main lining,great job.thats how im able to harvest a pd in a 7 gal fabric pot,mainlining

 

[FredFlintstoner0420]

Trying to get my shit right before I do my first cuts, I think I got my temps right. Transferring into final pots this weekend. Deciding between 5 or 7 gallon size. Should be able to start bondage a week after transplant as my 5th set of leaves are just coming in. Will post before and after pics at the first cut.

 

[FredFlintstoner0420]

Forgot KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid. Tried some dumb shit on my first plant and overbent a node and broke through +50% of it! Quickly remembered what was working for me in the past and didn’t make the same mistake with the other 4 girls. Fingers crossed she makes it. Zoom in to the one that looks different from the others and you’ll see the break.

It needs to be 5 nodes then cut at 3rd.

 

[Mikenike]

Got 10 mainlined with 4 mains. Debating going for 8 or keeping 4 and scrogging since I’m a little pressed on time

Nice job so far...ignoring your time pressures...an 8 cola mainline would be better for scrog it seems...but time constraints must be respected.
