Well, today was good and bad. The good is my 4 ladies in the wetland are doing very well, just beginning to flip also. These plants have been topped numerous times, and still outgrew the natives. Wetlands in my area are perfect for in-grounds, the annual grasses/flowers create tons of free aged humus...plus I don't have to water shit.:grin:

On the flipside, as you will see I burned the hell out of a lady here, and with CFL's no less. I always was under the impression you could never have too much light...wrong!. None of the bulbs were closer than 3", but I use 24 bulbs totaling over 1,000 actual watts spread out over ONLY 12 square feet!...and also supplement year-round with actual sunlight through 100 year old glass(non-UV block). Never had this happen before, thankfully it was just for personal use.

Even the trichs are red, is it ruined?. Pic 4 is another of the same, she's fine...but these other 2 indoors may wind-up as hash.

Peace!

The one stalk sticking up is now a clone sitting beside me, plus that area is surrounded on all sides by woods. Had they not been topped, would easily be 10' by this point in the growing season. Those 4 went in as clones on May 15th, and were only about 6 inches tall. Now they are about 5'.

Nice work everyone, was just scanning the dozen or so pages I missed since last visiting thread.

And now I have a question:

How do all you growers get these ladies rounder than my evergreens?. Seriously, no matter how I top and train I can never get those perfect ball shapes...looks like some of you use hedge trimmers.:peace:

When I put em in the ground I put a tomato cage on em. It acts as a fulcrum so when they grow out I can bend em without putting too much strain on the branch joint. That way once I put the big cage on them I can bend em way down and the stress is balanced out over the branch like a fishing rod. That along with the fimmingView attachment 2770696View attachment 2770698 and Super Cropping makes some nice even bushes.:hump:

After I planted, I topped each 100gl smart pot with 2"-3" of fresh chicken compost. The plants have never looked greener, I'm hoping for similar results with the flowers.......:eyesmoke:

Ah, so that's how we train when we have ladies in the backyard...like tomatoes!.

Can't haul cages out to mine though, everything must fit into a daypack. But I could use existing branches from nearby trees along with 4 ply jute twine to make a cage.:bigjoint:

brother I wish I could help you......I've never used any of those things. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it's working for you, keep it up, if not, I wouldn't know what to tell you. sounds like your getting a lot of help from indoor/hydro growers......good luck
