Nice training you did to these plants.
You only let the first main branches to grow sideways?
Very nice, didn't even see any ties to the plants. You brake the branches?
Also noticed you prune them heavy, intresting to see, you promote more the branching this way?
Take care
hope we see them flowering soon !
Transplanting 6 of them to the flower tent tonight.
I typically let them grow out to 7-8 nodes them top them back to 6 and lay them down to make like a manifold. Doesnt seem to take quite as long as the H type manifolds I have played with before. I guess what I do is just a combination of LST and supercropping.
I tie the main stems to the edge of the buckets with a few inches of that green rubber coated wire. You can see it in some of the pics.
From there I supercrop all 6 branches, usually turning the bottom 2 down to run the opposite direction of the main stem.
My goal is to get a low and wide spread base to get everything thats growing straight up to be the same height. When I have all 6 branches spread out, sometimes I will top all 6 of those branches too. Didnt do that this time because my stash is empty and I didnt want to prolong it more.
Heavy defoliation is to make sure everything that I want to grow up is getting a chance to get good light. It seems to help keep the branches a bit more even and they always seem to come back stronger.
These plants are pretty hearty when they are healthy. They can take a lot of abuse and even seem to enjoy some of it. Ive just kind of loosely stuck to my plan with this crop and did whatever when I was bending them around.
Here's a pretty good article on super cropping.
Super cropping is easy, free, and surprisingly effective at getting your current grow room to produce bigger yields in the exact same setup. Find out exactly what to do right here!
