Thanks North! I received a lot of sage advice from acquaintances on a different forum and YouTubed the heck out of stuff. I truly appreciate any advice on the grow. Welcome.

I thought I’d try to give you guys the Reader’s Digest version.
Here are some shots of the clones.
One week ago.
I trimmed the super cropped one and made a 90 degree bend on the other two. I’ll explain the “plan” in a bit.
![IMG_20210305_150517|375x500]
This is what I found when I removed a couple of leaves! What a mess!
I was going to top right there and take clones from above the cut but I’m going to top a little taller. I have time and it’ll make care easier. I’ll still take a few clones though.
Here’s what they look like now.
The two that I bent over will be trained to grow in a circular pattern along the edge. I’ll eliminate all nodes pointing in or down and chose four strong nodes to grow. I’ll be making a few hard bends to pop the fibers, and create (possibly) increased nutrient flow between those nodes on one but not the other for comparison.
You might ask why.
I’m not hurting for meds. I want to learn what this plant will tolerate and thrive. I have an inquisitive mind and the fact that marijuana actually relishes in physical abuse, to an extent, is fascinating to me.
I’ll try to keep all things optimal except I’m going to bend, twist, and even break ,I’m sure.
Duct tape is a marvelous thing.
Only one of my clones will be subjected to that treatment. Her sister will be treated fine and only have what bends I have to make… We’ll see the difference.
Inquiring minds need to know.

I know the feeling am smoking mac supposed to capulator cut iv had it in shed in jar for 6wks and had a spliff this morning and had to put it down for few hours after 3 blasts. Felt like I’d been in the ring with tyson when he was 19-20 was dazed and confused. Love it when your weed turns out like that. Bruce Lee weed

You’re off to a G R E A T start, keep putting in the work and, as the story goes, the rewards will come. You may get tired of me, but you ain’t getting rid of me, I’m here through Harvest!!! Stay safe, take special care and, indeed, be well…mister

Sorry about the late notice. My Carrier Pigeons are out of shape. I’ll get them on the treadmill ASAP.

Yes @MoBilly this is definitely one to be watching if you really want to see what she capable of taking the clone your going to abuse a bit try putting a a kitchen knife through the trunk during veg and leaving it in there while it grows. Then during flower giving the knife a little twist here n there will. Don’t worry this will not kill her just make her spit out more resins oils terps in protection. Try it you will be surprised. I was to the point of making sure at least 3ov9 had blades in them H ha ha. Bring on the show Mo
