[G.Leave]

hey @912GreenSkell could you maybe try get some close up shots of how you train if you dont mind getting down and dirty id love to see the branch network underneath the canopy all looking great by the way :smoking::smoking:

No problem...will do when/if it ever dries up...wettest season EVER up here....raining 5 of 7 days since the plants have been in the ground...great decision to mound up the photos an inch or two this season!! Went fishing the other day to a place i have fished for a decade....water was so high, i barely knew where i was!! Hammered the fishies though!! 40+ bass over 16" in length between my buddy and I, with the best four being over 19" in length(biggest 21"). Also nabbed a few pike...here is a pic of the best pike

certainly wouldnt get that much sport over here but then again we dont have bass just pike perch trout and a few other corse fish. pike are a bit thoothy for my liking but good fun all the same . what do you guys use lures or dead baits or a bit of both

All artificial baits(spinners, spoons, crankbatis,soft plastics) for all species i fish for(bass, pike, rainbow trout, brown trout, brook trout, crappie, perch, salmon, musky), except for Walleye and Channel Cats and fishing through the ice(use live bait for all of those applications)
Pike are very toothy fish...we have a saying up here..."It ain't a good day of pike fishing, unless someone comes home bloody!!"

Looks like a good day of fishing.

Taking pics of the autos to show training is very difficult...this is the basic technique.

The photos though are much more intensive training, being topped at 4 true nodes and horizontally tied

No problem at all bud!! There is detailed explanations in the Monster Training Guide(photos), and the Maximizing autos details the auto training. Got out and had a look at the full sun autos today....wow they are looking good considering the lack of light. Shortest now is Nashira and Glueberry at 25". Cherry Bomb and Moby Dick are at 27" main stalk. DP Auto White widow is at 30", and already has solid crystal happening. Next is Sweet Cream mandarin at 33" and forming colour Both Dinafem Auto White Widow XXL and Sweet Bloody Skunk are tied at 36" tall. Bloody Skunk is definitely going to be very purple, almost black i think. I'd say Dinafems AWW XXL will almost definitely be the biggest plant of this grow by the end. Growing at an accelerated rate, and a touch behind the others in flower advancement.

So far....the early crystal formation award goes to both DP Auto white widow, and Moby Dick XXL. And best smell so far goes to Moby Dick XXL with her very well suited hazy smell. So far, she's a stinker!!

Those are some nice stumps. Ever think of making a pipe out of one ? I have, you know, so you could smoke dope with dope.

I also think the Dinafem AWW XXL is a winner, they seem very cold tolerant. a couple of mine have survived "relatively" un-stunted even though it was cold enough first week of June (when they were very small) to burn leaves black, and crisp on the popular saplings next to them. I'll probably make a post of my own to show em, and the burnt leaves I mentioned. Still not sure I feel comfortable doing so...

All artificial baits(spinners, spoons, crankbatis,soft plastics) for all species i fish for(bass, pike, rainbow trout, brown trout, brook trout, crappie, perch, salmon, musky), except for Walleye and Channel Cats and fishing through the ice(use live bait for all of those applications)

I always found the wood would be far too soft for pipes...i kept a stump for some artwork and a year later its integrity was totally compromised and i could rip chunks off easily. Hopefully we can see some of your pics! Run a vpn and it should help you feel a bit safer.
Ive followed several outdoor grow with AWW XXL in the UK, and saw many nice plants, so i knew i had to give it a go...glad i did! Of course success in my neck of the woods aint measured on branch size! Rather potency and bud formation. Looking great though!

looking good!

Hey great to see you bud...been awhile!
Oh crappie nice!! We reserve the crappie for winter fishing though the ice. Get lots, just not too big. Sounds like you had a good day!! I am just biding my time until the up north trip in a few months...70+ walleye days make for some fun and great eats too!!
Salmon fishing is rather boring actually...great fun when you get one on, but you don't catch a whack of them. I'd much prefer to fish Rainbow Trout and Browns in the spring...crystal clear shallow 2 feet deep rivers 15 feet wide....small packs(2-6) of rainbows in the 20-34" size...sight the fish you want, make a perfect few casts with a mepps [HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG] and they pound it! Then the test of your skill begins as the river is littered with trees and rock! Its awesome! Sadly i didnt get out this season for trout...just couldnt get a buddy ready to go.
65 trout, solid season! Brook trout is the species you are after? I used to fish brookies realllllly hard in my younger days...i once set a goal to "catch 1000 trout in a season"....hard to believe, but 2 months into the season(keeping track of numbers in a journal) i had already exceeded 1400 trout. Some of the local rivers you can catch 30+ specks(brook trout) in 4 hours on small spinners like panther martin [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG]. Not alot of big ones, usually a couple of 12" in a day, might get a 14", biggest for me in the creeks is an 18" brook trout.
