Take notes on how your experiment turns out, so next time you can do more if you liked it.
I tried something diff. with these two that I have going, and took notes on it while they were vegging and training.
I wrapped the Diesel in a rotational clockwise direction around the pot, and the Kush going counter clockwise.:lol:
It's working good with the Diesel because it seems to have thicker stems like my Sativa dom. bagseed did, but the Kush is kinda floppy and doesn't seem to like LST'ing as much.

Yes I recorded the experiment. What I did was using two fingers I squeezed the stalk near the top until I felt a crunch. Didn't do any twisting or bending. and what you saw in the pictures were the result. Do you have pics posted of them?

Oh, so you supercropped.
I LST'd mine.
Ya, I got pics of the last plant, the wild one that I topped, then crossed them over the center.....
If you look close, you can see the foxtailing that started.
BEECH was the first one to notice, I wasn't even paying attention.
I was just checking daily for the first sign of amber, because I had about 60% cloudy or so if I remember right, and not even 1 amber that I could see.feb26pic10_zps75b75d74.jpg

Here's the Diesel roots on April 26 when she went into the 5 gal. from a 1 gal.April26SDtransplant_zps1ec577cb.jpg

Here's the Purple Kush on May 1 when I put her into the 5 gal. from a 2 1/2 gal.May1PKtransplant_zps01f82f36.jpg
As she did 'the stretch, I did supercrop a few of the branches on the P.K., and hell, within a few hours, the tips were already turning upwards.
 
really fat fluor buds..how many total watts? what did smoke taste like? so far for me:

acid/diesel: fuely citrus, skunky cheesy dank and idk how n.l. contributes. in early bloom amazing super powered fruit smell, late bloom skunk stinks up room.

master kush: deep yet mild sweet earthy smell, smelt like coffee or chocolate early on..late bloom skunk stinks up room. after curing skunk #1 turned SUPER CHEESY like leave your jar cheesy smell..kush remained smelling light and fruity tooty lol

thc bomb: stink in early bloom, not skunk stink, but like a armpit stink lol. after cure straight pine forrest haha, really like how well it was flushed..no nitrogen gas burning in my mouth

Sounds yummy.
The diesel when she first started to flower, had the 'diesel' smell that everybody talks about, but now, almost no odor, and what there is of it smells like good old school weed.
That last plant, I ended up with 2.71 oz. from her, and it smoked like the Purple Urkle or something Purple I used to get from a dispensary in Cali.
I vegged the last one with 98w of mixed 5000K and 2700K until about a month before she finished, and I added a bunch to bring it up to a total of 305w.

Damn nice job. What is your medium again?

LOL, you trying to open a can of worms?????
I use MG Moisture Control, with about 40% MG Perlite.:lol:
That first plant even used ONLY MG All Purpose nutes for the first 2 1/2 months or so, until I started adding some misc. samples I had gotten, like Rock Resinator, and also Molasses(every water on that).

Those look nice. Did you lollipop them also? I noticed that there wasn't a lot of foliage on the bottom half of the plants. Have you harvested them? If so, what was your yield?

No, they've been outside for close to a month now I think, but I still have over 15 hrs. of light, BEECH and I are wondering if that might be making the Diesel reveg, but the Kush and my bagseed experiment (LOL) are both flowering.
Herer's my link........https://www.rollitup.org/outdoor-growing/632050-2-new-seeds-started-outdoors.html
I didn't lollipop, the current ones if that's what you mean, but I did a little to the big one from Winter, that's where I got the 3 stems that are now my bagseed experiment.
The Kush, I'm knocking off a couple leafs every or every other day from down low inside where the foliage is so thick you wouldn't believe.

Thanks Prosperian. Hey check the results of one of my experiments. I think I might have created two main colas on a couple of the girls late in the game. What do you think?
Click to expand...

Looks good GS. can tell they have been vegging by those nice big stems.

Fyi for the followers out there... Depending on where the main stem is cut, it will either result in more branches or main stems. cuts at the 2nd node will create main stems (new main colas) up to four, anything cut above third node will create branches. Lot of growers top before flowering or cut higher on the main stem, this creates bushier plants but not colas. It just redistibutes the same amount of bud to a different location. Good technique to flatten a canopy.

Did a lot of reading on this and advice from Uncle Ben. Just like everything else, much confusion on topping procedures and the end results. It does slow down the growth and I think that helped you regardless of where you pinched off. Good job man.
 
Bak - always impressive to see your work. You prove that gardening skill is what's really important. With that you can acomplish amazing things regardless of equipment or growing method,

Thanks Prosperian! Yes, I pinched the near the top of the cola to crush the stalk a couple weeks ago.
 
Hahahahaha!!! I knew it! I called it on the 40 yr old seed thread! Haha! What's up Meat :??:

potroast is the plague in my eyes. im hiding from him. you guys created enough hate for him to despise me and ban me for no reason. im 21 years old. he merley banned me for being a tad annoying.

oh and that white fungus on your soil in your prior grow..you really didnt have to worry about it lol. its a sign of overwatering as is green algea

Here are some new pics of the plants and the split ventilation timers.

Nice growth on this three-branched White Lavender.

Might look a little crazy, but set up this way the room ventilation cycles on and off during lights off saving me on my A/C bill.
prosperian-552192-albums-equipment-picture2720722-split-my-timers-into-two.jpeg


You see where the light ventilation and room ventilation are synced when light are on.

how much/often do you run your ventilation when lights off ? 15/15 ?
Click to expand...

Looking at the timer above marked "ROOM" the 18/6 schedule has the room exhaust kicks on every hour for thirty minutes shown as a down position on the timer.

I've noticed that since I've started this cycling schedule the room is cooler and I have reduce the excessive humidity build up.

I believe I will really see a difference when I flip to 12/12. Haven't noticed any smell but right now, but only the auto is flowering.
 
I like the labeling and the control of your environment. I find it easier to just watch what my plants are doing through the day than to buy expensive environmental controls. I have alot of time on my hands, but I also think my ladies like the personal attention throughout the day. I think we have the same thermo from home depot, it will keep the hi/lo of your humidity and also tell you which way it's trending either up or down on both. For $10 it's not a bad deal, it doesn't have a probe, but it's nice to see what's going on throughout the day. The girls look great and the early topping has given you two plants on some. Things are lookin good around your way man. Peace out.
 
So if I read that timer right, you are saving 3 hours a day of fan time? Doesn't seem like a huge impact, but like you said the 12/12 is when you may see the real benefit.
 
168 hours saved during veg this grow.
504 hours saved during flower.

Think about this way. Having the exhaust fan running in my setup is like leaving the front door cracked on my home. All that cool 74 degree air is being sucked outside.

672 hours, that's a savings worth my time. :mrgreen:

During the winter, I'm thinking about routing the attic exhaust back into the house for heat (after it's been scrubbed).

See, even pot heads can grow green and save the environment! :mrgreen:
