Day 63

This really didn't turn out between the fungus gnats and the cold. Best temps I could achieve are 70f with the lights on and a heater. Everything has begun to yellow as well. I'm two weeks away from harvest anyway.

I'll be surprised if I get a pound but I have Botanicare's Pure Blend Pro Bloom and Liquid Karma on the way to run semi organic hydro again. Finding the is a lot I can drop straining granules and castings. I decided against Tribus as my Growpito Beneficials/Growpito Blast is a two stage innoculant for veg and flower respectively.

Bright side is I have some new seeds to run while I flower out the Zamadelica x Kali China. I have 36 and I am still in need of mothers but this cold has been oppressive.

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:
