@ renfro

Bro, you need a " ask renfro" sticky thread

None better on this site or any other than you bud. Keep keeping on
Might be a bit much for me to handle honestly. Better to let everyone help out and I can chip in where needed.

I think you do a great job at helping wherever you can already, majority of what i know about growing is your fault lol

Your an asset to a community like this. Thanks man

I try to help where I can. It does get old to be asked the same stuff, PM for example. I need to make a web page with a bunch of standard Q / A responses then just link those when people don't use the search. lol
It does get old.
I try to help once in a while and after finishing with a newbie I might see another newbie with the same problem and find it difficult when the answer is the same as the last grower. I usually just sit it out till something new shows up.

Just a minor vent here lol. I have stopped asking the obvious questions like show a picture in real light or what are the details of your grow if there is little to no information. When I give advice and someone counters it with different advice I don't argue the point anymore and move on unless the op engages me or if it's from a member I know and respect.

Seems most suffer burn out at some point helping new growers.

Maybe a few pics to entertain us?
They are slightly growing towards lights now and doing quite well since I supercropped all the main stems.

When this lot gets chopped I’ll be building a net

One interesting thing about using seeds when you use 100+ per time is that you find some really weird things. I don’t know if it would be a pheno type or just a genetic mutation but look at the way this bud is growing on the second pic

Yeah that odd plant has some fasciation IMO. You get the bad with the good. It's like when an NFL athlete with a cheerleader wife has a kid and it's born all messed up.

Is it potentially a good trait to try and breed into plants? Looks like you may get bigger buds if you have all your buds like this?

no, higher leaf to calyx ratio, less potency, just bad.
Ok only one cola has this trait on the plant in question. 3 other tops all seem normal so not much potency lost overall then.

Should easily have another 100 oz from this run... hoping my clone selection with a net will increase the yield going forward... need to get those internodes closer together less wasted space

Need to get the plants closer from the looks of things, with colas that size you need 4 per sqft to really SoG.

If you grow using hortitrellis with 6 inch holes you should have a plant for every hole with a single cola (for SoG).

Those ones closest to the photo are quite small... obviously with being seed some of them are siZe of my fist and I’m a 6ft6 guy but yeah I’m aiming for 4 per sqft when I pick a clone

I was going to use 100mm wire mesh.. I’ll look into that horti trellis... I’ll need it to be 3m x 1.5m

I had tall plants that were like 40 - 44 inches tall with big 20 - 21 gram dry colas on the top, in 6 inch square pots and packed in the 4x4 tray in a 7x7 grid minus 1 for tray fittings. Flood and drain is the best for SoG.
