Day 37

Look how far we've come! 40 days left and a nitrogen deficiency thwarted. Meanwhile in the veg tent, 24x Zamadelica x Kali China clones have rooted with only 16 to go by March

Internodal distance is very acceptable with trichomes forming on the leaves. Imo, this could reflower three times if I went closer to 90 days but two of them gets impressive. The terps are deep and familiar with hints of skunk and fresh ground coffee and an initial oily feeling. At this point whatever mistakes were made are done and all I can do is watch and enjoy.

So far I'm on schedule with the clones and I imagine I will get my 40 clones and also a few new mothers. I'll be flowering my old mother that looks to be splitting through the trunk and has been through quite a lot.

I can't stop hyping the SOG method so far. No trimming, no pruning, just keeping everything hydrated.

In other news, spoke with a supplier about getting DIY LED components so I'm looking at carrying

730/800nm
UVA

Bridgelux EB gen 3 in 80/90cri
Inventronics drivers
Meanwell drivers

I had a project in mind this is different never tested out. But what if you LST a plant main stem on the soil surface then cut sidebranches halfway so that they are still on the mainstem but half of it is cut. then put some root stim. and bury the sidebraches in the soil, so could the sidebranches start actually make roots and be half attached to the main stem??

Do you want to test this out?

Very nice looking btw! ;)

Sounds kind of like air layering and would probably work out but idk of any particular benefit.

Can't test out much of anything for awhile, sorry.

Thank you.

The benefit would be that the new sidebranch starts making new roots but still attached to the mainstem and it would get nutes from both ways. and would spread nutes evenly and better. just thinking idk. Was wondering if this could be done to an auto and get bigger yields.

I can't say that would provide any tangible benefit. If you aren't reaching 75g/sqft there's more yield to be gained through various other methods.

It takes 1-3 weeks to root a cutting, in that time many autos would be transitioning to stretch or flower. At this point, if I want more yield I grow more plants.

I was thinking also that when u cut the sidebranch halfway, it wouldnt stress that much and could continue growing and getting nutes from the maim stem while same time developing nee roots for the sidebranch. I thought about this because on my auto ultimate grow 3 years ago the lowest sidebranch cropped itself halway, slowly I think and developed some roots there, it looked very weird. And at the end of the grow that sidebranch looked like a new mini auto lol. It was 3x the size of other sidebranches.

I don't really know. I don't like training plants and I grow autos 20% of the time lol

Try it out though. Might pioneer a new technique

These guys around here veg their clones for a few weeks before flipping. Also, the cuttings have minimal leaves on them. The larger leaves they cut half or so off each leaf. Get that energy to the roots. Thanks for tagging me as I don't go looking for blogs :smoking:
