I think I have found a new technique for doing late planting and getting nothing but top, single long colas. I personally have not tried this method and yes it does sound a bit unbelievable but yesterday I seen pictures to prove itself.
I have an old hippie friend that has been growing outdoors commercially for more than 40 years. He was telling me a story of how he pulled 10 oz's once from a seed tray that contained 72 cells. I didn't actually believe him until he pulled out the pictures to show me.
You can do this technique from a tray, containers, ground or however you like. I've searched and searched for info on this method online with no luck whatsoever. This may be sort of hard to explain as well without a diagram or drawing but here goes:
Once the seedling gets anywhere from 2-4 nodes tall and has developed decent stability in its stem you can apply this technique. It's a lot like topping but you only top or "slice" one side of the top apical part of plant. So pretty much, all you do is take you a sharp clean and sterile razor blade. Grab the tip of the top of plant and slit right down the center, just cutting one side of the top out and leaving the other. What this does is makes your plants growth very different than usual. Where your seed plant is usually symmetrical in growth, it will now become asymmetrical in node and upward growth. It will be closer space and once flowering it will grow one large cola.
This DOES work and it must be a great kept secret. I seen pictures of some seedlings that he had grown that were started in beginning of June that turned into 6 foot tall single colas, with no side branching. You will not get any side branches with this method and it is great for stealth as well because it doesn't look so much like a marijuana plant.
The pics I seen of the 10 oz seedling tray grow was amazing. He started them in July, kept a quarter inch of water in the bottom of tray and changed water every few days. When the roots became tangled and matted on the bottom he said he just took a razor kind of sorted them out and released them open.
I'm sure I will get a lot of negative feedback on this and maybe even some skepticism but after seeing this being done for myself, I will be buying several seed trays today and heading out to some secluded grow locations to get the best I can get from a such a small and inexpensive method. Sure, I won't be yielding what he was yielding starting this late but a bunch of 5 gram to 8 gram solid buds would be nice! He also mentioned the strain he used was Northern Lights x Skunk x Big Bud.
Happy growing fellars!
