2016 Outdoor Garden of Eden

[theJointedOne]

I don't do any of the things you mentioned

especially breaking branches ... Why would you want to crush the xylem and phloem!? How good do you eat with crushed throat

This

 

[Slipnot]

All I do is pull the axial branching horizontal Take it or leave it

DAT - just click the thumbnail

I do that as well some times if plants get to big out door for stealth reasons have literally bend it right over and wrapped it indoor out door nail a post in and slowly bend plant over

this is what makes our plants thrive, if we didn't transplant, lst, prune, etc, we would basically be bonsai farmers. look at the hedges in your front yard they keep the same shape and size and don't grow a whole lot after the initial plugin. without transplanting and pruning a lot is lost imo.

 

[caterpillar710]

I don't do that. Plant grows upright , all branches off the meristem get pulled sideways. So they grow like a spruce tree. If you look at my pics it's obvious I don't do any of that ridiculous stuff.

 

[plantingplants]

Give it up cat. You're a lowly bonsai farmer.

I would like to try training a plant flat to the ground like a vine. Imagine what a massive plant would look like if was flat. You could make pathways to the center. Spraying would be cake. Course it would take up too much sq footage. Sounds like fun. Next year.

I would have to call BS not to many plants will naturally do this when we look at natural grown plants they grow christmass tree like indica dominant..
sativa on other hand tends to grow squirly still christmass tree like in structure but with way more lateral branching and off shoots.
Another true way would be monster cropping which is flowered clones that will shoot out branches and mad bud sites every where

If it was natural, the way they grow into massive bushes there be no need for a ladder which we see in many out door grows in VEG interesting enough these cultivators will crop all tops weekly forcing new shoots and branches to form only time a ladder would be needed is when chop time comes

indoor is monster cropped ,, then other plants 80 plants grown naturally an flowering christmass tree like

Wouldn't take sherlock holmes to figure out that them big massive trees have intense training involved

Yah no.... I only topped those plants once and left them alone... other than supporting them.

I don't train my plants at all, and I grew some decent plants. Thanks for sharing guys, next year something to work on for sure.

I pulled the first plant in the garden two nights ago. Blue Berry Hash plant. I think I am going to take a SSH x hp next. Fun times.

 

[HillMizer]

Killer job Foothill. You're killin it

This is the first year I tried letting my plants grow au natural shape. Partially because of low light and cramped quarters, partially because a lot of good growers do xmas trees.

I need more budsites next year. I used to give the whole plant a haircut ala HumboldtLocal and cut each branch back until reach 3 closely competing growth shoots. They did grow well, sometimes I got too many buds and couldn't get my budsize up to how I wanted it. I wish I could do 99 full season and split em up for experiments.

 

[caterpillar710]

Congrats on getting the first ones in

have your grown silver lotus yet ? if so just wondering how ssh compares with the new hash plant used .

i,d love pic of the ssh x hp, flower structure

 

[plantingplants]

Cat, 4' high mounds? Why so high?

 

[caterpillar710]

2' above ground 2' below is what we plan for but clearly the roots go bigger , you can dig down 4-6' at grade with relative ease

 

[Jaymer]

the root systems are supposed to be as big as the plant so if you gotta 10' plant, that's one heck of a dig.

Nope. On my list for sure. Seems to be a little less of a yielder than the hash plant male, but extra frosty.



Cat. killing it.

 

[caterpillar710]

Thanks bud I'm actually trying every day to just keep stuff alive

 

[FoothillFarming]

Me too with many strains.

What are you doing? I found a really nice product that might come in handy this time of year. Vital's Fish Flower Power. Amino's with a 4-13-14.......Could be a great tool depending on your situation.
