That’s an awesome looking plant man
Thank you man. It did turn out well. Lots of resin for sure. Really chem cleaner lemon smells. It got some skunkiness to it in the last few weeks.
I did not see a support stick holding it up, for skinny little branches and stems it did a great job of keeping itself upright.
Yeah I will say the structure of the Mountain Temple was good. I had two of them were a little floppy but not bad overall. I mean my Goji is a structural nightmare but smokes great. Skinny stems huge buds. Black Triangle was a little floppy also.
I agree with you on the Goji structure she just makes such large flowers the frame struggles to hold it up. I’m on a hunt for something that will improve the structure in her I’m thinking about OMG 4 or another large structure line. Would you even try the Goji outside.
Haven’t ran it. I would love to try.
It seems a lot of hybrid plants with higher sativa percentages seem to have the skinny stems and large colas, the big nosed kate and G99 I got from painted fire, all have this problem, and struggle to support themselves after the stretch.
I am making some clones for friends with the big nosed kate to grow outside in large pots, and I am worried they will all collapse without substantial support, which also makes moving them much more difficult, near the end of the season, if you want to keep them out of prolonged rain and winds.
Yeah I think they will need extra protection and support to make it outside we get such strong storm winds here in the Ohio valley I’m worried if my spot isn’t perfect they won’t make it. I think I will try some Oregon Huckleberry pollen on a Goji female and see if I can beef up the structure on her have been wanting to do this for a long time.
Or get one of those Raspberry Hashplants and throw that on them. Those are already 50% Goji. Works half done.
I’m pushing like 20 inches or less from the canopy after stretch. I need to flower earlier that would help. But I love big plants…so it can be an issue.
Yeah I like big plants as well, I really struggle to get them into flower under 2ft in height from the top of the pot, especially new strains, that I have no experience with. By the time I get my Caramel Candy Kush in flower, they are going to be 3 ft the way they are growing atm, going to be taking some tops off soon to slow them down.
This is purely anecdotal as I don’t have the PAR measurements to back it up, but I started to have issues anytime plants got less than 18-20 inches from my COB setups. I ran mostly CREE CXB3590s and some Vero 29s at 1750 milliamps, for reference. I grew in a tent with that mylar reflective material. I had ok air movement, not great, so there is the potential that some of my issues were just temps at the flower surface. Ambient temps were usually mid-high 70s but could have been hotter at the canopy level. I never got to actually bleaching tips but when I turned the lights up full bore, some strains seemed to get finicky.
Well if you have a decent phone, could use a lux app to get an approximation at the height your at.
And to @Tommy_McCain and @Shadey running out of height, smaller pots = smaller plants and flopping helps, but still big plants are fun
Its not a problem for me really, I just like to try and keep my canopy even as much as possible. Its hard when you have plants between 2ft to 5ft tall lol.
Traded that away (in vinyl) to a stoner in high school for an 8 Track of super early Genesis. From Genesis to Revelation, I think it was called. I already had all the music on it and before long, no 8 Track player. Regretted that for a couple of decades until I scored the CDs. “Used.” Used music for less money. Classic irony of capitalism.
Europe 72 is my go to album to get new Grateful Dead Converts. It’s a great driving album.
I totally utilize the #MrSparkleFlop. I have to flower a little earlier. I only have three runs in this tent. I’ve been fulling around with doing some coco perlite with 321 for fun. I will say one thing. It does not matter if you are organic or synthetic, it takes about the same amount of work for both to get good smoke. There are no shortcuts. I have a Galaxy S8+, fairly good phone.
Valid point. Air movement is definetly something I could impove on. Also RH… I have a “laser” thermometer around here somewhere. I should get some leaf temps…
Same problem. I don’t know how @Tappy does it with like a million plants of different strains. I tried SOG for like two months. The work was insane. After that I grew 2 giant plants instead.
Wonderful looking plants man, so frosty.
Transplanted two Black Triangle(left) into a 20-gallon pot. I have two confirmed females…I’m taking a guess on the third. Holding back on transplanting the larger of the three females. I’m going to give the smaller two of the three plants a couple of days to “catch up” to the larger plant. I beat the shit out of these two during transplant. So, one is topped the other was almost topped. I’m topping everything this time anyway. Three confirmed Black Triangle dudes on the left. They will be moving into my “ball room”…a small cab I converted for pollen collection.
And of course I couldn’t resist…it’s getting really frosty. Kush in August (with a cure) sounds nice.
