I think there’s one thing thats a trick worth sharing in the Plant folding game.

Plan ahead when replanting, as in how you orient the branches On the plant when it goes in the soil.

When you place or fold the Plant, do so that it lays down with the branches forming an X… NOT a + symbol.

When the branches are resting in this fashion, all 4 of them have access to Light, and Training.
Minimal effort and they end up looking like a ladder, all lined-up, Not staggered

Here’s the PG version


This SSDD#2 bx1 from @HolyAngel is the nicest I’ve done yet.
22nd feb, Last day of week 5, lites are down to 16/8 sched…
SHE is Officially, a Female plant. No Calyx shaped Gonads on SSDD #2 bx1

First day of week 6
First day of Flower declared as the Co-grow plant; an AutoFlower in week 4, has pushed some Pistils out…
The lite cycle has been being reduced and today, right after the BBP spray (1ml/2oz), the lite cycle became 12/12


There will be a Fan Leaf schwazze at Lites-on tonight. We will Get a good Look at Jack, see the structure.
A Soil amendment is prepared for dinner later this week; a Microbe & Enzyme Tea begins the FEED, feed, water cycle and will welcome those Nutrients

Last nite, the 23rd, SSDD#2 was given a little haircut aka Schwazze
It totalled no more than 8 leaves, but has really opened up the heart of this Gem. Day 2 working towards Flower in a 12/12 environment.
-Week 6 began 23rd
Left the two big Fans on until node 5 & 6 pick-it up a bit…


Grow Microbes / Enzymes / Molasses Tea brewing for the soil Amendments tonight, 25th

and Yes @Pigeonman, those are dollar store green led’s twinkling in the Foam…
Two big Fan leaves were removed and the LST pins were removed to make the feeding easier… funny, the plant stood right up, something its never had a chance to do. The amended soil was watered & allowed to dry a bit, and she was pinned down again.
@DougDawson, there is a trainee in the program, pictured testing the double serrated SSDD#2 bx1

SSDD#2 is taking-off nicely now that the structure is laid out. 8-nodes (2 in the cola) and each branch is spreading out and Healthy



… and the plastic gear, only took seconds to adjust. It totally opened this Jack Herer and her FIM’d, 4-Cola crown

Changes were made today… to the Light height and a fresh take on room temp. @Jetdro @HolyAngel I dropped the MarsHydro TS-1000 down to 18” when the lights came on. I’m slowly working my way Up in the Lite intensity. Targeting 78F min. on the leaves is a good variable to set as a target. No PAR meter yet.
Beauty is, knowing the aim was to Turn the light-up, I believe the Fan across the actual Face of the Light, is the Victor. This white fan, (top r) is blowing the LED heat away.
I’m leaving it at 76% power for the Nite and the leaves are at 79F

I’ll wait a bit, see where it goes
More to come, Thanks for the talk earlier you two
ps. When the lite was On the Ceiling, and I was maintaining a room/leaf temp gap for VPD, the power did not go above 60%… yikes. Its already way closer and higher power.
Zero issues on the plants part Jet
Great timing, as the Plant is starting to take-off. Nice circle of foliage is forming


Changes to the set-up were a 100% success 80% power, 79.5F canopy and a real Par reading

I had to throw this picture in… 2 weeks ago today. Love those changes

Breaking the main stem 1.5” off the ground, is not my normal approach Jorge lol wow.

Playing with Branch-Bending plastic gizmo’s, and all of a sudden it was not Gently Wrapping the stem, but simply Buckled it.

All decisions since then @George, have been easy. Thanks for the bondage praise… low ceilings started the LST /HST practise. This plant (ssdd) was meant to be pulled over sideways with a string… i simply got playing with the Gear… “shit”

Floor Fan is now blowing Under the plants, to aid in wicking some moisture away.

The 6th BBP application just took place (Mar 2nd) and things look good. Nice to have 8 seperate nodes out. BBP mixed at 2ml/2oz

Lizard UVB lite into the roll of SunDown assistant. It overlaps lights-out by 5 minutes, then helps the plants to sleep over the next 25min. Then its dark.

So refreshing to see a good LST grow!!

Count me in, although I’m a bit late. You know that old saying though; better never than late.

I super happy with how its taken to my first-aid @Mr.Christmas. And Yes, I am giving it no opportunities to speak up this time round. It may be the lowest of the low after all. For the next couple weeks anyways. Once the branches get outside the pot, they are on their own.
Thanks for stopping in
March 4th a.m. shots below :point_down: 2 hour power failure in the storm last night. Kept the tent closed, no prob. Reset timers today; done. Big Feed yesterday

Mar 6th, morning…
I’ve submitted a couple of images to the Ailment page. Something is melting an edge of the leaf and there are similar marks happening elsewhere…

Otherwise things are lifting-off. Leaf systems are progressing and thenwhole structure is starting to lift up. Hard to see when she’s laid sideways. One picture shows a healthy branch taking off. Sub-systems at work. Soil is still really moist 3 days from feed.

Hmm I know this line is full of heavy feeders… maybe potassium and/or iron deficiency?
