Hey OG! I have been growing for about 18months and I’ve had some success and some failure but I’m progressing well.
I’m running 2 strains:
x1 - Raptors OG by Future Genetix (I know, I know…)
x2 - Cotton Candy Rock Candy by Predicative Breeding.
Last year I ran Unicorn Horn by Future Genetix and it actually turned out pretty well. No herms and the only problems I had were self inflicted. It was the best flower I’ve produced so far.
Overall I try to avoid the IG seed brands bcuz there are so many scammers out there BUT a good friend of mine has done a few runs by Predicative Breeding and they were really really nice and so I decided to give it a try.
I need to get my hands on some clones eventually because I don’t want to keep rolling the dice on overpriced seeds. There are a few breeders I will buy from but I wanted to dial in my grow technique before getting carried away buying seeds left and right. Peak Seeds and JOTI, Mephisto etc…
My seedlings now are 13 days old. I will try and post weekly or bi-weekly photos during veg and once I get to flower I’ll stick to weekly updates.
Hi ImpaLa welcome to OG, theres a whole load of awesome growers here, they’ll guide you on your way.
Healthy looking seedlings, you’re off to a good start👍
Looking good so far. If you thought you were into “weed” before growing, just wait. Plants are next level. Looking great so far Predicative seems like a good company. Heard them on a podcast interview once. Definitely legit. Not sure about the other one you mentioned.
The picture in the last post was taken right after I potted up from my starter pots. I sprinkled some mycorrhizae directly on the roots right before and to my surprise the roots are already at the bottom of the new pots!
It’s only been 3 days. I’m blown away lol. I’m wondering if that’s normal or because of the myco??
I’m giving the Main-lining/manifold technique a go for the first time.
Topped all 3 plants once they reached 6 nodes and cleared out everything underneath. The 2 Cotton Candy responded really well but the Raptors OG is stressed. Overall everything is running smooth
Decided to do the final top today. They bounced back really fast after potting up. Each plant now has 8 main bud sites.
I’ve never tried this method before but so far so good
Depending how the next few weeks go I might flip to flower in mid October. Initially I was aiming for Nov. 1 but they are going pretty strong. We’ll have to wait and see
It’s been about 5 days since the final topping. A few more weeks and it might be time to switch over to flower. I made up some LAB during the week and I was thinking of adding it but I’ve never used it before. Can anyone shed some light on usage/results?
No problems with either strain so far. The Raptors OG isn’t quite as robust as the others but it’s getting there.
I normally adjust my water to about 6.5pH but I haven’t bothered doing that on these plants. I can’t say I see a difference. What do you guys think?
It can be fun training these plants . Just try to keep to the training schedule, and flip when there’s three nodes on the target branches. You don’t want to end up with one plant turning into a bush, or bunch of corn stalks like I did .
Hi ImpaLa604, thanks for posting your log, I want to try manifolding next grow so I’ll be interested to follow along.
It looks like you’re off to a good start, your plants look like the ones in the tutorials I’ve been reading, what medium are they in?
lmao noo I don’t want corn stalks - I’ll keep that in mind.
Im going to clean up anything in shadow a few weeks into flower. My main concern is light penetration but usually I get about 12" of solid buds before anything turns larfy on my untrained plants
Tent looking amazing. Nice training! I just realized that I have let them veg too long in the past while doing this type of training. Next time I do it I’m going to flip much earlier like you’ve done here… Looks like it’s really working out.
Predicative seems like a good company. Heard them on a podcast interview once. Definitely legit. Not sure about the other one you mentioned.
