I appreciate it brother but it’s time to get back on the horse. But not before I get shitfaced off my harvest. Next post will be me getting a single s1 TK seed wet. I’m going to try to fill the tent with a single plant this time. Make some seeds to pass around the forum. How does Triangle Kush x Chocolate Diesel sound?
Oh, you know it sounds awsome!
You ever done a real SCROG grow? Cuz that would surely fill the whole thing with one plant.
Never did a scrog before. But now I’m considering it. I WAS going to try to keep it super small and run only for seed. By scrogging it I can get some smoke too. Still have to consider the 4x stretch in flower.
It can be a bit of work through veg and definitely the first few weeks of flower. But so worth it. Making a frame and screen is the easy part. Anchoring the damn thing so the plant doesn’t push it up is another. I did one once. Had to abort though. Fricken bitch hermd on me! Yes, I’m still sour about it, lol. I’ve got a new one built, but I haven’t used it yet. Lemmi see if I can dig up some pics.
Ok, here they are. Such a beautiful even canopy.
This looks exactly like what I want. How long did you veg for? Im kind of worried that even doing what Im planning to do I’ll still end up with a 4 foot plant if I veg too long to fill out a scrog net.
I can’t remember. But it wasn’t long.
I also didn’t even do toppings on that thing.
Just bent it on over.
I think I’m going to continue with the plan and either start out at 12/12 or start flower when she’s 6 inches(TK is supposed to have a 4x stretch). I’ll probably top her to get her to bush out more and scrog from there. I’ve never done anything like this before so this is all new territory for me, but I think I’m up to learn and adapt to make it work.
I’ll snap a pic of the frame I built later today and share it with ya.
Its happening! With a SURPRISE! I hope Im not hoisting my self on my own petard here. Though it kind of feels like I am…
Some TK s1’s
Into a towel you go!
Whats with all this extra room? I think it needs a little something.
So Im probably going to regret doing this, but FULL SPEED AHEAD!
I got to thinking, I know I KNOW I shouldn’t be doing any of that without parental supervision, but hear me out! While TK and CD would make a great cross, I thought to myself that only doing one cross would be kind of a let down. THEN I thought, what ELSE would go good with CD? I was going through my seed masterlist and I saw it! M29 Afghani x Malawi. It was perfect! I knew the mistakes I had to make. And I made them!
So Follow along, if you wish, a seed making journal for Chocolate Diesel crosses, Toblerone(TKxCD) and Menu 29([M29AxMal]xCD)!
Damn dude, that is brave! I’m not sure how you’re going to wrangle both of those strains in your tent (unless of course you got a bigger one? haha) but I’ll be here to watch them grow.
Another option to consider when working with plants that like to stretch or limited space is to top them above the 2nd node (although I do the 3rd actual node after removing the 1st node altogether) once they reach 6 nodes tall. This essentially makes 4 colas for each plant and you can use bamboo sticks to tie down each branch if you are trying to limit your height.
I know you talked about mainlining and that may be a better option but you won’t have to veg nearly as long with the method I outlined. Especially so if they are feminized, you can probably flip to flower by the 6th week from sprout.
If worse comes to worse you should be able to throw one outside if you need in your climate. I don’t know if that is an option for you but that’s my plan.lol. There is no way I have room for what I have growing inside right now.
Wish I had these types of options.
I wish I wasn’t butted up to public federal lands.lmao!
Im planning on limiting veg, pot, nutes and will use every little dirty HRT trick in the book.
I plan on vegging till 3 inches tall and flipping, this SHOULD give me a 12 inch plant, I say should because the best laid plans of mice and men and all that. I plan on topping only once, every side shoot will be removed except for the 4 main stems, there will be no lowers or side shoots, just the mains. I will be starting and finishing in a 1 gallon pot. Because Im using octopups I will implement root pruning when they reach the reservoir. Once stretch begins I will use judicious use of tip pinching and supercropping to limit size and help build bigger nugs. I will be implementing a scrog net to help keep the canopy even and low. All nutes from the start will be 1-3-2 ratio before switching to 1-3-3 and then 1-2-5.
This is the plan. But no plan survives contact with the enemey so I really plan to wing it!
If worse comes to worse I’ll have to chop them both as I live in a VERY unfriendly state.
Good news is I may be upgrading the tent in the next month or so. More room, hell maybe even a second tent! Exciting stuff!
It can’t be more unfriendly than mine.
We’re just a buncha backwoods rednecks that wanna grow in peace!
My avatar pretty much gives away where I live, down to the city even. But yeah, we’re just a group of people that want to grow our medicine of choice in peace!
I kinda figured.
Ya that sucks man but the second tent is a bonus !
I remember being in the W hotel in this unnamed city when hurricane Ike hit. Funnel clouds but not quite tornados every few minutes.
Scary.
