Lollipopping before flowering?

[rkymtnman]

it would be a thick bush

you mean a healthy plant?

So, starting week 3 you advise to cut them of ?

That side branch could be 2ft long in 3 weeks' time, so you would want to remove any long stretched shoots from the lower part of the plant.

Looks like a bad white balance in that photo...if you bother to check out the photos from earlier in the thread, where he's sensor isn't in direct light they look fine, possible too green for some people

you can't get the same results from lst alone, you need to thin the plant and remove fan leave, otherwise, it would be a thick bush.

I was referring to other training methods such as topping or supercropping. Removing leaves as needed for air flow is always a good idea.

Looks fine, newer growth is a little neon but as long as they darken a it its fine. The tip burn some see is from last week over fertigation. New growth is if anything lacking and Def not showing any burn.

Never chase last week's issues the plant is an amazing regulatory system.

Most dmg you ever see is mitigated by the plant long before you see it... in soil..and some dmg will.nwver recover and is also not a sign of anything till it is.

Your eye just one tool, in diagnosing abiotic and biotic pest and issues in plants.

you never want a plant to be too bushy, the shoots need air and light, that's why a scrog has the 4" spacing, you need a minimum space of 4" between main shoots, I like to have 6" or more between my main shoots.
Is this your plant?

Day1-5 depending on health I strip to 2 leaves, and do this once a week each week.

I top around wk 2 and stop defanning around the end of wk4 when they will go into bloom

Day 28

My grow is time is money, shorter the life of a plant has before harvest while yielding a max amount per plant space... production is different then hobby

you basically do the same as me, top week 2, flower week 4, guess you pull the shoots down week 6(2 weeks after the flip)?

Indoor growing is not like growing as Mother Nature !

If my plant count is high enough I'll remove lower nodes and branches that won't end up looking like mature dense buds. Basically the same, I do a defoliation in mid flower but leave them alone after that...

Indoor growing is not like growing like as Mother Nature !

then you are doing it wrong. try to recreate mother nature indoors.

Slow down son!... we're gonna run out by the end of the night!!!!

Strain means every thing though
You ain't gonna get that from a Blueberry for instance.
Super Silver Haze/Big Bud or other Sativa dom strains work well usually for me.

Definitely, Blue Dream is a Blueberry hybrid. I was worried I was doing something wrong this time because I’m not seeing the big ole honkin buds my White Rhino churned out last time, but I think it’s just the nature of this strain.

I’m thinking of trying Wedding Cake next round if I can find where to get seeds.

There's going to be 16 fat colas. More than enough to go around.
