GwJ Community Award Winning Celebration Project 🎉

Today, the upper large fan leaves were removed from both (plants) to better provide light to the small shoots.

They should first become nice and bushy.

Whether and when I top or just clip, I’ll decide spontaneously.

Special Kush 1

Critical Kush

Now, let them grow and recover first.

One would think something has definitely happened.

Let’s see.

First, I bent the tops aside with an LST clip.
However, these ignored the clip and stretched back upwards as if nothing had happened.
So I tied both down.

Additionally, an irrigation aid arrived today.

Otherwise, everything looks pretty good.

Let’s see how I proceed next.

The net is ready.
Maybe all shoots will be topped once.
I’ll think about it

Have fun and stay tuned

The irrigation aid looks interesting. Does it run automatically or does it only serve to evenly distribute the water?

Serves for distribution into the layer under the mulch. 3D printer product quite interesting.

Capacity somewhat limited. But they absorb well, so I will report.

Looks interesting.

I agree.
As I said, with a 16cm diameter, it’s a bit narrow in capacity, but you’re supposed to moisten the soil gradually anyway, and I think that will be good.
Maybe I’ll have to ask someone with a 3D printer if they can be produced in a larger size

If you have someone who owns one, that should be easy. As far as I know, you only need the dimensions. An acquaintance of ours has one, and he said if we need something, we should give him a picture and the dimensions, then he’ll print it quickly. Well, as quickly as it goes with a printer like that.

That’s how those clips are meant to act. Once it grows up enough you apply another and create a stair pattern.

Yes.
But it was way to fast for my intentions
So I strap her to the side to create a flatter canopy and work later with the trellis

And on we go.

Special Kush 1

She’s a bit restrained in width but just as tall as her roommate.

Critical Kush

As you can see, with nice extensive side growth.

It’s going wonderfully.

They are now alone in the tent.
The net is eagerly waiting to receive them.
It hangs 30 cm above the substrate.
Approx. 30cm above that, the light with a dimmer setting at 50%.

Critical Kush

A few more days to grow along the net, then the time will slowly be set back.

Running now for a few days on 16h light, until I reduce to 15.

I can’t complain, only show.
Look, be amazed.

Special Kush 1

Critical Kush

I have now revealed the secret of their broad growth (Critical Kush)
From late afternoon, evening, its shoots hang down a bit as if it were underwatered. This once tempted me to water it. But no.
It grows sideways, vigorously upwards in the morning and to the side towards evening.
Special Kush 1, on the other hand, only grows upwards and always stands straight.

But both have reached the net and will now be guided along it.

Whoever follows me in the app always stays up to date on new details.

Happy growing everyone.

And once again a small update from my side.

The lighting has been running for 14 hours since today, so that over the course of the week I will reach 13 and next Sunday 12 hours of lighting duration.

Today, some very large shade givers were removed, one was already attached to the yellow sticky trap

It’s filling up slowly but steadily.
The width is where the magic happens. Or something like that.
I’m diligently checking daily if anything can be tucked in.

Critical Kush

One can already guess what will follow soon.

Stay tuned. And smoke weed

Today was the last time the clock was adjusted. From tomorrow, they will go to 12/12 light hours.
Let’s see if they have already stretched or if they will fill the net even more.

Special Kush 1

Critical Kush

Oh my… this could be something.

On the third day with 12 hours of light, the Critical Kush is already showing the first hairs
(Edit: I just realized you can’t see it in the photo )

So far, they still look content

Special Kush 1

Critical Kush

And because it’s so beautiful, here they are in full

The next few weeks will be exciting

Let’s talk about stretch, baby’s. Let’s talk about stretch.

Special Kush 1

Critical Kush

It always somehow hurts to do this. But I had to clear everything out from the bottom already, because circulation wasn’t possible
So I also removed some big “sails” from the top, and now there won’t be much more snipping.

Special Kush 1

A bit smaller than stated
Photo from yesterday, it has already recovered today

Critical Kush

Simply became a monster. Super

Day 9 on 12h

Critical developed buds significantly faster, I think it already started to switch at 13h, whereas the Special Kush (in line with its effect) is a bit slower

Happy Easter to all who celebrate it.
Stay tuned, I’ll stay tuned too.

Edits

Picture from earlier, everything continues to stretch up nicely

Wonderful @KilliczGe
Always keep at it with laying it on the net. That doesn’t harm them and only does good. I cultivate around day 18-20 with extensive lollipopping and defoliation from the top, especially removing the leaves that steal light from the underlying nugs.
About a week before, also remove only a few truly light-blocking leaves from the top. Then just leave it after lollipopping.
I do this at the end of the third week of flowering because the stretch is slowly coming to an end and no further shoots will form, and then all energy goes into flower development.
Looks very healthy! Greetings from Paule

Growing big mate, good work!!

@James_RQS

Thanks for the great response
I appreciate that
