Holy moley! I can't believe I missed this pic update..
Filled in really nicely!
It might take abit of diving into the jungle, but Anything that's not looking like a decent secondary budsite or if there's some straggling branches not far out from the stem I'd consider snipping them off.
Also If there's some major sized fan's you can't tuck that are shading the internals of the plant I'd consider removing those too, no more than a couple per plant.
I removed at least 4 on some of ours, but as I don't know the outcome yet I don't want to offer that as solid advise.
They're growing really nicely dude, healthy and pretty evenly, so maybe just let them do their thing for another week until you're approaching max size.
Cheers and keep it up!
Thanks buddy! I went ahead and took about 15-20 fan leaves out of the mix last night. I was actually getting ready to upload some photos of them to ask what you thought I should trim, particularly with some of the perimeter plants that have stretched a bit.
There's one particular plant in the top right corner that just hasn't been happy with me from the beginning and I can't blame her. After leaving the seeds in paper towels for way too long to germinate the tails were much larger than I am used too, and I honestly was shocked that 39 out of 40 made it! I won't let that happen again, that's for sure!
There's another plant in the bottom right corner of the tent that has stayed extremely short and bushy, almost like she's getting too much light even though she's on the perimeter. No sign of stretch at all, she's growing horizontally and looks like a ground cover plant! She's quite intriguing to me. She has also been slower to get into gear than the other ladies, but definitely smells of Sour Crack goodness. I'm keeping an eye on her hoping she's got something special to show.
In the middle of the table there's a plant that's reminding me a lot of that Sour Crack chandelier of dank that I had grown previously. She's been ahead of the curve the entire grow and has my favorite structure out of the lot, other than the previously mentioned short, flat one.
Lastly, In the back left there's the tallest of the group, which has also grown that way from the very beginning. The first quirky thing that drew me to her was the length of stem on her young fan leaves. Her's would easily be twice as long as some of the others and she's been leaning into the light, overshadowing her neighbors this whole time. She wants to be in the center of the table like you wouldn't believe! I'm gonna finish selecting, uploading, and cropping the pics and will be back around with those in a bit.
Cheers!
Lol, Slacker. Probably on top of a mountain somewhere. That's one big beautiful pile of green.
Thanks! It's so lovely to look at, Marga! Even if I didn't automate the watering I'd still grow this way again. It's much more manageable than I thought and spending one on one time with every tree in the forest has been so intimate and enjoyable! I feel much more connected to these ladies than anything I've grown previously. I'd definitely recommend it to those thinking of giving it a shot.
