How seaweed enhances plant growth
Seaweed is constantly worn down by tides and eaten by fish, so it must grow rapidly to survive. Studies at the University of California showed that a frond of seaweed can grow a foot a day, given optimal conditions. The same growth hormones that prompt such rapid growth in seaweed, when applied to plants as a foliar spray, can increase the speed of cell division and elongation in those plants. The hormones also increase root growth when applied to the soil as meal, or when a seaweed extract is used as a root dip.In recent turf test at Virginia Polytechnic Institute in Blacksburg, plots sprayed with seaweed extract had 67% to 175% more roots that untreated plots. Plots treated in fall showed a 38% increase in spring growth over untreated plots and showed 52% more roots.In test at South Carolina's Clemson University, seeds soaked in liquid sea weed extract showed rapid germination and the resulting seedlings and increased root mass and stronger plant growth that seedlings from untreated seeds. They also had a higher survival rate. Soaking plant roots in seaweed extract reduces transplant shock and speeds root growth. Seaweed foliar sprays promote faster, stronger stem and leaf growth and earlier blossoming and fruit set when sprayed on leaves and flowerbeds.

Like like like! This is why I buy 50 lb bags of kelp meal and buckets of soluble powder!
I stand by my statement the kelp is one of the BEST things for your plants. Not to mention the minerals from the ocean! Love it.

Alright then fellas... what are your thoughts on this mess. These plants are about 6 feet from the floor. The canopy is spread with the tallest plant probably 1.5 feet taller than the shortest. I think they are done with their stretch or almost done. As you can see they have about 1.5 sq.ft. of space to deal with each. I don't think my friend is going to approve taking a whole row out, so that's out.

What I'm thinking is to lollipop them all... just cut every branch that stats on the lower half off, and trim up some of the higher branches. That should open things up a bit and get the growth to the main buds. Then I'm planning on putting them in order from tallest to shortest, and then the scrog can be at multiple levels, and the lights and multiple levels accordingly. Does that make sense?

Does anyone have any thoughts what so ever??? Any input appreciated. Strain is XXX Og and there are 4-1000w lights in there. co2, hydro.

I think hes kinda past the scrog point no? It already looks to be a full sog so I'd trim them up minus the screens.

Screens more for support than training. Agreed, past the point of training and almost past a good point for pruning IMO. Double the scrog support because of the lankiness.

Jig if he doesnt have bugs with that mess I am surely surprised!! Good luck, and I think removing a row might be needed, but you will know better after you give the haircuts. Why did he veg so long??

Thanks for the input guys. I have no idea why he vegged so long. I don't know why he does most things, lol. The scrog is for support, just like you said whodat. These are some lanky bitches, and the look real healthy, so with some training and trimming they should develop some big buds that will surely take the branches to the ground. Super skinny branches for the height. Might have to take a couple of them out of there.

Is this like Willow then, which can be used as a rotting hormone because it is abundant in Auxins? I guess seeweed has something similar if it's structure is able to increase at such rates.....

anyone notice the font has changed. Better tell Mrs DST what with her being a Font addict.

I think you are on the right path there Jig. Removing lower growth to increase air circulation down below. Then an evening out of the canopy through LST, supercropping and simple removal, bearing in mind if you reassure your friend that the more you remove the more vigour the plant will have in it's flowering stage, I am sure he wont be too shocked.

Then screens could be put in but that might be a bit of a head fuck, depends if you think the plants are strong enough to support the flower growth.

Good luck.

Peace, DST

HST (high stress training) get drunk and bend the tall ones to the level of the canopy

Aye, she is a Fontaholic, lol or Typeaholic...this is one of the things she want for her Birthday:
http://www.amazon.de/Rookledges-Classic-International-Typefinder-Christopher/dp/1856694062/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=51Y35T1I5Q5F&coliid=I1X2PG85D3SCXG

She just started putting her own Typeface dictionary together, complete with pictures, examples, etc....lol. She has recently completed a whole Coffee table book based on House numbers on the Canals in Amsterdam and their type face.....sounds kind of weird, but the pictures are really cool. I'd post a link to her website but that'd be a bit jailbait. She even had the Mayor of Amsterdam come to her exhibition and showed him round personally, well chuffed for her.

Buy a 32" Hedge trimmer, remove your shirt, play this song, and deliver judgement to them!
