Evening @Mossy
Cheers for the rep!
Thanks also for the nice comment!:smoking:
I've seen your plants you aint no slouch, they looked pretty boss to me!
You may remember, I also shared how I grow them short bushy and full of buds, here in LS at your request.

I think one of the biggest compliment I received was when Greenskell, asked me to show him my dwarfing method.
You may also remember that Greenskell used to grow super monster cannabis plants outside, until some ne'er do wells targeted his outdoor grow.

Indoors he only had a small space in which to grow, which is why he wantes to go from growing monsters to compact bud bombs!

Once he knew my method, he grew some absolutely beautiful dwarf bud bombs.

You mentioned FD also grows plants that look like mine, I wonder if we both grow the same way??Do you have a link?
I really ought to ask him!

Some one also mentioned @Mañ'O'Green uses a dwarfing method, when I searched "dwarfing" in the search function, I pretty much only found links to posts, that I had posted!
If anyone has a link to one of his dwarfing threads/posts, I'd love to check them out and see how he does it!
It is a great way to grow especially when height is an issue!

I think I was just confused and was thinking of you, not MOG, but I could be wrong. Like @Mossy said I read too many threads on here

 

[hairyman]

Just for you @Mossy

tie in knots is fun ,,but damages your yield lol

I've been in the tent the last hour and a half trying to get things situated. Moved the carbon filter from inside to outside the tent, which freed up quite a bit of clearance height wise. Got my humidifier set up but it only runs for a few seconds before shutting off so I'm thinking I need to let it charge 100% before trying to run it. I've been sitting around 80*/40% since I took the big girls out and the little girls do not seem pleased. Also pretty sure I may have thrips somehow? So going to have to figure out what I need to do about that before it gets out of hand.

 

[Suki]

Regarding the potential thrips, I think I'm early enough on in the grow that I should be able to deal with them without harming the plants too much. I've got neem oil and permethrin on hand I know for sure, if anyone knows which of those would be better, or can recommend something different?

I think I was just confused and was thinking of you, not MOG, but I could be wrong. Like @Mossy said I read too many threads on here

I know the feeling all too well!
I originally got the basic idea from the "joint Doctor" for his strain Ogre, which could get quite big.
I use smaller pots for the first 3 weeks, until sex shows.
Now, anyone who has read through the Mephisto Origins thread, may also have noticed similarities in our styles, which we both came to, independently of each other.
When we interviewed Mitch (Mephisto) We being the "Auto Warriors" when we were doing "live interviews".
Anyway back to the point, I asked Mitch about his his technique, which was transplant at day 17 as this still controlled stretch but not so much as mine!
He said he did for completely different reasons to mine. However he knew he could control size by transplanting close to sexual maturity.
Seeing as he was growing for seed, he still wanted to keep the plants a manageable size (not to big, not to small) but also having lots of seed.
I don't grow mine for seed and I have been growing in small spaces for the past 15 years, so compact yet chunky, is what I needed.
I transplant at sex generally around day 21 approx.
I worked further than transplant at sex, it is also important to keep temps at a constant, through the time when they would normally be stretching (at and just after sex).
When in stretch phase, the greater the temp swing between day temp and night temp, the greater the amount of stretch you will get.
I grow in 1 Liter pots (deep long root ones for tomatoes) for approx 3 weeks, until sex shows. This keeps the plant compact and the root mass smaller.
I then transplant to larger pots (8.5 liter but 5 Liter would be good too) no worries about treating them rough here, it is the transplant shock we need to stop stretch.
Transplant shock sends the plants energies to re-establishing the roots and in doing so goes straight past the stretch phase!
Add to that the constant temps and you get a very short plant that will chunk up.
To keep temps constant 24 hrs a day, either leave lights on 24/7 through stretch phase or use a thermostatic controlled tube heater.
If you like bud bombs, mossy has previously mentioned that full duplex/FD grows in a very similar style.

I really enjoy this site and especially this thread and all of you that are here everyday. Heck just the music makes me smile.

Nice! I love merciful fate

King diamond!

I ain't getting those on outdoor natural light.....



If you are short on space...I can't Think of anything better...



Soooo long ago...but his were the First I saw...........but mind small phenos...we were still on the 8 week Auto....I've probably not seen Anything comparable to the Last Beast in your post..........
