Move the bitches around. Don't stress too much as you can tell the plants where to grow. I'll super crop, bend, .... well, be bloody evil. Generally I'll be the boss until the second week of flowering (although I don't cut things off in the first two weeks of flower). After that I just let them go.

 

[Growdict]

Yes i would. I think they will do much better if they have more room. 2 sets of hands might be good

I still haven't gotten this far with a manifold, but when I do I can imagine it'll be like a fun little game of tetris. I just wanna make sure to avoid any drag on the stems, less aware the plant is of the change the better I feel. Good luck looking forward to seeing you pull it off

Okay, that was WAY easier than I thought.

They had plenty of fun getting moved around and getting opened up.

Check it out!

The last pic was when the lights went out for the night and my backup lights kicked on.

Nice. Do they all still fit in the tent? I was thinking your middle plant you could put 4 branches inside and 4 out in a cross shape to fit

They fit great. I did something similar with #5 but it isn't a mainlined plant, more of a "what the fuck am I doing with this mother I don't have room for in my clone chamber" lol.

The 4 are Cold Creek Kush from seed and the 5th is Sour Diesel from clone, turned mother, turned flowering princess.

Nice. Give us a group shot when you get a chance.

The summer weather is starting to creep up here, I went dark for 24 hours so I can change to night lights when temps are easier to control.

I'll post pix after 8 pm when my new on schedule begins tonight.

Here you go, the colas went nuts after getting fed bloom nutes, here's a few wide shots and up close.

Ya that looks so much better with them not crowded inside the cages

Thanks for the advice everyone.

I'm going to take that fan out and swap it with an ossilating tower fan, that will give me way more room to spread the girls out.

They're going crazy right now, I think getting fed followed by a 24 dark cycle put the auxins in overdrive.

This is awesome.

Quick little update... Day 33 of life​

Narrowed it down to 3 and, if #3 doesn't speed up she could be the next victim. I'm only doing this for a personal med cabinet stash so numbers don't mean a whole lot to me as long as I can reach a couple oz per plant. Anyways here they are responding well to the heavy stress. Jill #2 is very bendy and pliable, she loves the bondage, and #4 is a little more stiff and resistant, and will likely give me more weight in the end. Starting to believe I may have a candystore in #2 and a velvet #4 but the chances of that shit happening are way too high for this guy lol so I don't wanna jinx anything.

Jillybean Update

I culled #3 as expected after watching 2 and 4 surge forward in veg growth and 3 remain steady. I feel this was what most growers would consider a bad call in my situation given the 5' height restriction and the sativa dominant jillybean structure. HOWEVER, it is the medicine I'm after, not the ease of growing. Also spreading info on a sativa dom manifold structure seems necessary. I want to find this smooth creamy candy pheno I had a while back, and she wasn't short in natural growth by any means, though she wasn't exactly candystore.
Anyways enough rambling lol here is #2 on the left and #4 on the right

Update on day 19 of flower.

The lower right hand corner is the Sour Diesel. The one in the upper left hand only has one cola at the canopy height of the others, but her nodes are really tight on thick ass stems.

Should I put her on a couple pavers to bring her up to height? What's that going to do to the one tall cola?

I'm going to want to avoid light burn. I've been staying 18" above with my 400w hps hood. Gaining 1"-1.5" per day. I'm expecting her to chill on the height and focus on fattening up soon!

 

[Growdict]

if it were me, i would raise it up. and put the stretchy cola on the outside. thats what i do with mine, coloseum style. shortest in the middle tallest on the edges. some would advocate some supercropping on the one cola to slow it down, personal choice imo

I'll raise it up and leave it alone. Not sure if I should or can supercrop this late into flower?
