Manifolding Nirvana - Wonder Woman + AK48

Day 36 of flower

The buds are starting to fatten up. Some of the pistils are starting to change color and recede on the WW, but the AK still has all white going strong. The benefits of manifolding are starting to show as each branch has a really nice main cola on top.

@inDC4now it's funny you say that about the different green colors because there is a noticeable difference in person that isn't really captured in the pics. The WW is a more yellowish lighter green and the WW has almost a hint of blue color and a little darker. The flowers are also showing different shades of green as well. The pics attached today are taken with LED's off and a CFL turned on them.

I noticed on the close up pictures the edges of your fan leave and some sugar leaves are slightly curled up. Mine are doing the same thing now at day 21 of flower. Not sure why. Mine aren’t yellowing yet though like some of yours. Clearly your ladies are looking strong and lucious. Wondering if the slight turning up of the edges is normal or if maybe I’m over or under feeding nuets.

Most of the fan leaves have tips that have turned yellow and even brown on some leaves. I have never been able to make it through an entire grow without the leaf tips yellowing on me. I think it is normal as the plant is approaching the end of it's life cycle.

The yellowing from the lower sides of the leaves i believe may be caused by a potassium issue, but I don't want to stress out about it too much as i'm focusing most of my attention in that regards to my next soil mix. I'll be watering it tomorrow so i'll top dress it with some more kelp and a dash of langbeinite.

Mentioned I'd add a few pictures.

Had the chance to upload a few of one of the WonderWoman girls. Light green due to consistently being low on nitrogen. Oddly enough, her two sisters are taking the feed perfectly and appear with a more healthy green color.

8 main colas, let her fill in the middle a bit too

about F25 from 12/12 flip in these pictures

looks like it'll produce some bud

@eNt31 I like it. Should be a decent yield too


I'm at day 43 of flower

Wonder Woman is about 50/50 orange to white pistils, AK is still all white. Watering 2-3 times a week, plants are loving the environment. I would like to chop these around the same time so I can move the other plants into this tent, but it looks like they will finish at different times. Would be great to do the WW around new year if I can, but I don't think AK will be done by then.

Yeah, noticed mine going from bursting white pistils, to more of a 50/50 mix real fast. Within the last week or so.
Looks like the WW will finish a bit earlier than the AK, but hard to tell. Can definitely get behind wanting to clear out the tent for a future project.

Accompanying my 3 Wonder Women, I got a couple runt auto's (Blue Mystic/Northern Lights) in one 3gl pot, looking to finish 3 weeks at least earlier than the WW's. Can't decide if I want to dry em outside the tent without a carbon filter, or build a contraption inside the tent so I can dry them while the rest finish flowering...

Added a picture of my 2nd W.W. So much greener (even went into nitrogen abundance earlier in veg). Totally different structure, but you get the idea of the mainline / manifold base.

Should be cool comparing our dry weight numbers. Plants look comparible in size, although I think your main colas will definitely be a fit fatter as they seem to be prioritized, as they should be with this type of training..

It can be a pain trying to manage different problems showing in different plants.

I have another smaller tent with it's own humidifier and controller that my next generation are in so I plan on swapping them out and drying this crop in there around 55-60%RH. I will keep them separate throughout the cure so I will see difference in yield.

Hay, I like the videos.

Thanks

Takes some time to put together, but it shows much more of the plant than pictures do.

Thanks for the effort, it's well appreciated.

Alright guys the time has come. The bittersweet feeling of cutting down 3+ months of hard work for harvest. Great success this time around, I learn a lot and always improve from each grow. I also learn to appreciate the plant more after each grow.

Manifolding has been great, I will definitely do it again. Trimming was really easy, all of the shoots have perfect main cola style buds. I was thinking, I normally waste a lot of time on stupid lower popcorn buds and didn't have any of that this time around. The wife and I finished off these 2 in about 4 hours. I cut each of the branches off and hung them from a hanger in my small tent, 1 plant for each hanger. She did cut off one of the bigger buds of WW during the trim process, it's on the top of the hanger in the WW picture. RH set between 55-60%, hoping to dry for 7-10 days before going into CVaults.

I'll post a final update with dry yield weight of each plant when she's dry and had a little time for cure. It's been fun keeping another grow journal to look back on. I would recommend manifolding to everyone, as you can learn a thing or 2 from this technique.

Thanks everyone for following along!

Those look like some well manicured nuggets. Nice job on the trimming and overall grow for your first try. I never have attempted the technique myself, as I’ve grown primarily outdoors. Might have to give it a go once I have the setup complete. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks for posting your grow. It's really been cool watching your plants grow. The buds look fantastic.

Post when you are ready to try it and maybe all your followers can lite up to help you celibate.

Really cool. Thanks.

Looks about a pound.... lol. nice grow man. Would love to get the details on your drying setup and ranges if you got time to msg me.

Yeah so might as well make the knowledge public. For drying, I take regular clothes hangers and hang them on the center bar of my 2.5'x2.5'x64" tent. Hang each branch with the buds on the hangers. All of the vents and ports are open on this tent with a fan blowing air out of one of the vents so there's good airflow.

I think humidity is key, so this tent has it's own humidifier and controller. Using this Willhi WH1436H humidity controller:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077FPTWLY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I plug the humidifier into this controller, and keep her steady between 55-60%RH 62-71F.

7-10 days in the tent and then into CVaults for curing.

Excellent from start to finish. My Pineapple Haze is about ready to be mainlined, I'm going with Nebula's version too. But to be honest, I've read that a few times, and I came here looking for this specific thread. You're my nebula haze read now brother! Can't wait to hear the dry yield.

Hey thanks, I have been meaning to return here with the final yield and photos. So I weighed the plants up separately 2 days ago and they came in at about an ounce and a half dry each. 43 grams for the Wonder Woman, 46 grams for the AK48. The final smells are starting to develop when I cracked open the CVault to take these pics and it's very sweet and tangy. Taste is great as fresh dried buds should be.

I probably could have let each of these go another week but near the end of this grow, and at this moment, I have a lot going on with other stuff in life so I don't have much time to focus on growing. Nebula's manifold was a great success, can't wait to do it again when everything has settled out.



It's really hard to get good pics of buds, they always look so much better in person

Been fun following.

Please do another thread when you're up and running again bud

edit: what size c-vaults do you use by the way?

I reckon the large-container would be a good fit, for each plant in your case?
