Completed F|T|F Growery: Ace Seeds Bangi Congo x Panama High Density

Blog entry Discussion

Day 41

This is why I love hydroponics for my indoor gardens. Rewind a bit, past week or two growth had begun to slow compared to other times I grew this. It coincided with the nitrogen issue while at the same time a few plants were displaying downward curled leaf tips. I became incredibly curious as to what was going on adding N and closely monitoring.

Enough time passed without improvement or decline so I dumped the reservoir and made a great batch. 12 hours later growth was going again, terpenes were present, and a few had begun to lean.

Anyways everything is progressing but I am a few weeks behind. Maybe the stress will give me something special. I do now know that I should aim for a more N heavy feed for the first 4-5 weeks.

My Zamadelica mother has finally passed but she gave me ample clones. I have more than enough for my next run.

My bong adapter attachment for the Mighty finally arrived so I am excited to get lifted. Also scoped out my next order of seeds in the form of Ace's Panama x Bangi Haze as I'm pretty disappointed with what I got from Dinafem and SSSC. It would be great if they have a breeder pack though.

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:
