Hi, I'm Royalroacho! You may remember me from such posts as " That She Grows", and "blue Mazar smells funny"! I'm here to tell you about a revolutionary horticultural technique that's going to MAX YOUR YEILDS and IMPRESS ALL YOUR FRIENDS called BUD BENDING©!
haaaa....that was pretty obnoxious. I could get a marketing position at advanced nutrients...
Seriously tho, I did kinda stumble on a pretty cool way to get bigger colas. I had this Cindy Jack that I stunted in veg, I couldn't lst it because it barely grew before it started bloiming, it ended up all bud with no stems, so I had to bend the colas out to get light to them since it was so crowded. I kept bending them out and pushing them back. I noticed some of the buds were kinda popping out and turning into small colas themselves

So I had a ln Auto Euforia going and decided to mess around with bending them more. First I broke the stems so they stuck out at an angle, like a 7, so the cola was horizontal. Then I priced out the individual buds, and bent them back towards the stem. I kept doing this every few days till the stayed in that position. 20180206_005921.jpg 20180206_005931.jpg these pics are sideways, imagine rotating them 90° to the right. Anyway, so the buds start making a bunch of little colas growing out of the main one. Here she is today at day 90...

Please excuse the shitty deficient plant...I'm having a biblical fungus gnats infestation. I think it's that...I've also done a couple stupid things like letting it get too close to the light for a few days, and when I woke up one morning and was all discombobulated I poured the jar of tap water for the humidifier instead of the jar of nutes in there...and had the humidifier spraying must onto the bottom leaves which was dripping into the pot and didn't notice for a while...my shame...
Yes. Well. You can see they really bulk up when you do this, and I hope you all take a page from the book of the bent bud!
 
Little info about this grow, I'm using a 3 gal pot of Canna coco, AN sensi noots with soul synthetic big swell as a bloom boosters. This is a semi organic grow, I'm also using the carcasses of thousands and thousands of dead fungus gnats as a chitin supplement. In the beginning I had super low rh and went through a couple shitty humidifiers that broke or didn't work right. She was pretty much a seedling for the first 45 days til I got a tent and better humidifier. She started to take off at day 48. I almost got rid of her, she didn't show any kind of preflowers or buds until around day 55 I think. I grew the photo version of eufo this summer, very similar except the smell, but this is absolutely the most vigorous growing strain I've ever seen, both versions.she was stretching for maybe 3 weeks.. I was pruning off 4 to 6 feet of shoots A DAY for a while! Really nuts. That's how the photo is, an absurd branch monster. She's under half a 300w diy cob frame with 3000k and 4000k 1818s,24/0. I put that tamater cage in there for support, glad I had it. Ive tried to correct the pH I'm balance from the stupid tap water...I dunno. This gnat infestation is really discouraging. I believe that's causing most of the problems, they're in her pot real real bad, a couple others are getting hit too. I grew the photo, it was probably one of my all-time favorites, really lives up to the name Euforia. I like these big ass super autis, but I hope dutch passion gets their phenos straightened out. Ive done 5 or 6 of their strains, there's seems to be 3 phenos: a huge ass 120 day monster, a smaller 70 or 80 day, and a ruderalis dominant 60 70 dayers...I never know what I'm gonna get. I did a blue Mazar a little while ago, 70 day plant, stayed short like 20 inches of solid colas, got 7 zip. Very happy. So I start another one thinking it will be the same, but it's a fucking tent hogging monster...makes things difficult when I don't have room...
 
These things are monsters. Stupid worker bees.
