LoL...I'm sure that wasnt the case.

We all talk about yield alot, but potency and the quality of the dry/cure aren't mentioned much...maybe I'm missing it. I sent a large portion of my last harvest to my son, so I ran out of my own stuff unfortunately. What did I buy yesterday? A Rove vape pen of Skywalker OG tested at 98% TAC...

Depends on the strain or breeders suggestion, but I'd agree.

Winning a summer grow competition is no small feat - that's impressive.

I hear you - I used to defoliate...alot. I changed my thinking when I learned that each leaf is a storage container for nutes. The only time I'll take a leaf now is if its blocking light that a cola needs I enjoy watching the leaves turn yellow as they get sucked dry by the plant before...

Really good to know - thank you. Me thinks it's time to run an auto - next grow for sure.

That's good to know. Autos complete in what, like 10 weeks or so? Maybe it's time to run one.

Looks like veg to me... growing nicely.

Jan - it freaked me out the first time I cut away all that lower branching. But it makes sense that each plant has a finite amount of energy reserves. There have been times when I've cut away what I thought was the entire node, only to find two weeks later that it was busy repairing the partial...

I have no experience with growing autos, but I've read that some training techniques are ill-advised with autos thanks to the ruderalis component of each plant. I'm not sure that's even true, but I only grow photos because I'm suspicious of a plant where 1/2 it's genes come from a species of...

Indica is what I need. It eliminates the pain I feel from spinal stenosis, it helps me sleep like a baby and it completely eliminates wrestless-leg-syndrome which currently drives my wife nuts. I enjoy LA Confidential, Brownie Scout, GMO Cookies, Skywalker OG, Animal Face, LA Affie, OGKB...

10 gallon sized pot is the sweet spot for this plant.

I also lollipop every grow to concentrate the plant's energy on canopy growth. I usually strip away the bottom third of the plant just before before the flip. As far as pruning is concerned, I avoid doing that and instead tuck.

I've seen those 15' tall bushes that yield 15 pounds of weed. Man would I love to try growing that.

Topping, or splitting the apical node seems to drive an increase in lateral branching, providing additional bud sites for the canopy. This is the first grow where I'm trying to nail VPD as much as possible in order to set the best environment for the plant'sl transpiration.
