707 Truthband , Sour diesel , critical+, in coco, 1200W

[Stuppa]

On OG again so it’ll be good to do a grow thread kind of like the old days . I normally do 20 ltr pots and just hand feed them but I’m downsizing for this grow and just doing 6 x 11ltr pots of coco that will be hand fed. Will be using 1200W of good old fashioned MH & HPS , no fancy pants LED in here . Damn it I’ll even be using an analogue ballast, that’s how old school this grow is homie LOL

They will be living inside a 240x120 grow tent which has an 8" extractor and passive intake .

Got 3 strains in this one which are 707 truthband , Sourdiesel and a critical+ , there are 2 different phenos of the Sour tho so you will be able to see the difference between them later on .

This is the 707 Truthband,

Just doing some training to help them bush up a bit , this one in particular doesn’t like branching much.

This is the Sourdiesel No1. This one is similar to the CC cut that was floating around the UK a while ago .

Sour diesel No.2, this one has more of a cats piss edge to it than the other one , and is a monster yielder.

Here is the critical + which was from a dinafem seed .

I’m down with an old school grow.

Here’s the nutes I’ll be using on this grow , which happen to be the best you can get in the UK they are formulated for my local water supply and for use in coco. Amazing buffering even at low e.c’s , unlike the other nutes brands I’ve used .

Cut back before 12’s

Hi ReikoX cheers for stopping by .

I just cut them back a couple of days ago and I’m now on 12/12 .

A cutback before 12/12 is supposed to promote branching from all the shoots , it’s similar to topping the main stem, but you do it on all the branches instead and take a larger amount off, it should be done right before 12/12 tho.
The amount you take off can vary ,on this one I have not hit it that hard and took about 6-8 inch of each branch. You can see an example of how much in this pic:

Seems crazy ? well we will see in a few weeks what happens . It should help to control the height a bit as well so can be useful in a tent with limited height .

Here are the plants before the cutback :

And here they are after being cutback :
