My weight to length ratio stops me from tying one branch to another lol. The tops got bloody heavy and the stems just fall over. I removed it from the tent to try and set up a support system and every top flopped over 90° to the ground without breaking lol
I have half a tomato cage in there to create my main bends. If I do this again I will set up multiple levels of support early on. Even if I had a good support system half way up I would be in the clear
My base is solid… but the branches are nearly 3 feet. With all the weight on top
i aint all the way dailed in. but this is where I’ll end up. The same way i used to do it.
1st get a plant about a foot tall, leaving all the sun leaves intack. cut the longer bottom limbs for clones , i always did twice what i needed. just incase. i would let cuttings root for two weeks, then veg for 2 weeks, then flip for 8 weeks. before i flipped, i would do the same , cut all the limbs off untill they got down to 3/8ths of an inch long, bottoms for clones. the rest was trashed . only the very top of the plant was unmolested. do not top the plant.
i took a rubbermaid roughneck and cut 6 holes in the lid
5" cups dwc and a control bucket.
these arent me or mine. but the outcome is close to mine, just not as big as mine were . 6 plants per tote( 1 always seemed to get choked out, so this time I’m i trying 5 gal. buckets/1 plant . will probably go back to totes and only 5 per tote .
i was averaging 5oz’s a plant.
growing only the main top, perpetual,sea of green. everything on a 2 week cycle. so that bucket was bringing 30+ ounces.
i had 2 buckets going out every 2 weeks, from a 7’ x 14’ building with 2 rooms, now ive got 2 - 12’ x 12’ rooms
That when you pull all sucker branches but leave the fan leaves right? I believe I did that to the banana kush that I just harvested. It had a few branches, but all lower nodes on them were removed. That said, lollipopping and removing nodes like that leads to not really being able to reveg a plant after chopping.
yeah it’s not meant for a reveg I dont think, it’s supposed to push all of the energy in to the upper part of the plant, and it looks like it did that for you. I know on a bigger plant that technique will help get huge “donkey dick” type buds. I learned of that technique here on the OG 1.0. The original technique was to remove all of the branches from the first three nodes, and leave the fan leaves
Yea, it was kind of a small and stunted plant. I have a clone of one of the two banana kush, I’m going to give her at least one more run and grow her bigger .
I like small and stunted plants lol. I look for those slow growing runts, for a few reasons. They don’t crowd out the tent, and I have noticed that although the yield may be smaller on a lot of those smaller phenos, that the smoke is usually much more potent. I have one panama garlic haze plant that I am growing now that looks like something out of Dr. Seuss - it’s so small and tiny with tiny little leaves, and I have been topping it often to allow it to grow in to a nice fluffy little plant. It is almost a bonsai - I am going to veg it for awhile, maybe even put it outside in the spring.
I took a crack at it a few grows back. It was easy to maintain in veg but once in flower, the ghost og genes made it start stretching like crazy. Not exactly a main-line per se but serious training.
“Bring me a shrubbery. One that looks nice…And not too expensive.”
Hehehe
Most up dated pic I have, the runt of the group def is the better plant in this case
Hahaha, that would be cool to see
This plant looks really cool, but it’s due to nutrient issues making the lower leaves drop. Someone said it looked like a tropical palm.
This is why I’ve decided to just let it get “x” tall, then start topping/fim’ng. My personal experience with mainlining is that it gets in-between me and smoking faster…
