TBH you want to look it up on youtube! Its where you pinch the main and bend it over to one side, Im not to sure how it will affect flowering so maybe its not the best of ideas have a look at it anyway its a good technique if you can get it right!

The pics are on the previous page man.

Its wreckin my head at this stage man, im going to try out the bin liners in the next few weeks, il just whip them of when it stops raining. Fuck! I dont know what to do lol

 

[Richie LxP]

Personly i nevr feed my plants for the first 6 weeks just water, then when there about a foot high i repot and start feeding. You might want to get some new lights aswel, tho's standers house lights are a waste of time as they dont have the lumans a plant needs for good growing, your plants wil sart to streach for more light.

Right Richie I see your problem. Is that a boundry wall with your neighbour? You could bend the top down and tie it to a frame a 2x1 along that wall about 2" down from the top. Then make a rectangle frame rap it in clingfilm and just sit it on the 2x1. Put a post off 1 corner to the ground. If you get what im at.

I have taken large beach umbrellas and taken off the covers and replaced them with greenhouse film. I can leave the umbrella up all the time if I wish, but if you need to be more discreet just pop it open before the rain hits.

 

[irish farmer]

Ha Cracker Jax man hows trix. That a good idea with the umbrella Richie was considering putting white bin liners over his plants I think that might cause them to swet.I once covered a plant with a binliner to move its location it was in thare about an hour all the leavs wilted but came back

 

[CrackerJax]

Yes.....with rain falling the RH will climb right inside those bags..... inside a greenhouse, an AIRY greenhouse is the optimum, but in a pinch a large clear umbrella type that allows air circulation is second best. Depending on how much wind you get, you could get some clear film and using a few strong stakes make an impromptu "lean to". Drive some slightly larger pvc 2 foot pipes a foot into the ground and then slip in the stakes when it rains.

I've been great by the way... Hope all is well for you....

 

[irish farmer]

Ya i'm dooin pritty good to. Got my girls indoor out of the weather so all's good...

 

[CrackerJax]

Excellent......I'll be harvesting some today as mold is creeping on two of my babies. They are ready though so no worries.....

 

[irish farmer]

That mould a.

 

[CrackerJax]

Imagine if weed mold turned out to be THC Penicillin?

Maybe that's why I never get sick....

 

[Richie LxP]

Up date! I sorted out the height issues anyway, i tied the bitch down. I might have a chance of building some sort of canopy over here. Thanks for all the tips and tricks lads

Anyway, heres a few pic's. Any yeild guesses lads, come on you know you want to...

 

[CrackerJax]

I think a christmas tree ornament would look nicer....

Well done!

Lol, thanks man. i was afraid i would snap her but as you know there hardy as fuck! Will this increase yeild? Wat about the buds on the under side of the cola, will they be the same size and potincy as the upper buds, ya know like the light wont be hitting the underside of the cola.

 

[CrackerJax]

I think yield will be increased if it's still vegging out. Once the bud sites are set.... the only increase can come from making the available buds bigger. My 2 cents anyway.

Good point, i dont think its growing much anymore the where i pinched it a few couple of weeks ago has only grown a little. I have some mirical grow and some bio bizz flower nutes an iv been feeding them that the last week or so. Shure we will see how that goes

 

[CrackerJax]

On the plus side though, it shouldn't decrease the yield. it's also a heck of a lot better than topping it.
