heres my scorpion about to go into beast mode - topped once, about 15-20 cm tall and the branches are starting to look good and dense

my reaper is the only thing getting eaten in the whole garden and it looks pretty fucked. I've been spraying it a fair bit but its still getting caned. I'm going to whack it in a pot and see if I can keep the bugs away or get another one or 2 and run them in another part of the backyard

Looks healthy as

How do you guys go about topping/training your outdoor plants? Ive topped once already but do you top all the side brances and stuff to make it more bushy? And if so do you have to support it all?

You can cage then up and pulls the branches out through the cage and tie of onto the cage or let them grow then build scaffolding around and through them with bamboo or something similar,I’ve had a few snap the last couple of years and they seem to do it where you have topped so just watch out for that.

Alright building a cage sounds pretty easy might do that.

Construction mesh is really good costs a bit but it’ll last a few seasons dog mesh aswell

Yeah ive got a heap of fencing that'll work as a mesh. As long as it stops the branch moving too much in the wind it should be right.

I scrog the tops thru a wire cage or net and most of the gd side branches I lst

You can move the cage inside or where ever and dry your plant in it to.

after seeing the ratios of ruby's chilli nutes a while back I decided to up the N big time this year and it seems to work a treat. I'm giving it about double the N feeds of last year and its looking like I could up the dose even more during veg then taper it back when its starting to flower

I might have to add a bit more compost and give them some vege nutes then. Both my scorpions lost all their leaves from wind and they have come back even bushier.the other one doesn't have fruit but it has about 10 pre flowers

Yeah it looks diffrent. I bet if someone who wasn't switched on wouldnt know what it is walking past it. Almost looks like a type of bamboo at a glance.

Found a few seeds in my fridge that I’m 90 % sure are Lemon Crippler ( O.G Ghost Pie x Animal Cookies ) fems so I’m chucking them into soak with some crackheads (Loompas Headband x Green Crack ) to go with the Purple Pomelo ( Gaberville Purple Kush x Grapefruit Diesel ),Tangie and Strawberry Diesel x Space Dude seeds that will be a late bush crop. Setting up a room at the moment to veg as many clones as we can fit in it that will go to the same spot at the end of January. Hopefully end up putting 150 out there.

I think that was his Black Dog that did a bit of pre flower on him.

And remember mate flowering while plant is small hinders the growth so if u pick flowers off for a while the plant will grow a lot bigger or to the size u prefer
