Thats awesome haha..

I have a question about scrog, Is my kandykush to late into flowering to set something up just to hold the branches from falling over? She's not even halfway through flowering and a few branches are having a hard time standing up?? Here's a pic of her to give you guys an idea. Now I'm realizing the importance of scrog!!

no its not too late to build something around it, it maybe a little difficult , but no its not too late. b imo in the stage that it is in it probably would be better to get center pole, or find a long stick, and stick it all the way down to the bottom of the pot as close to the center as possible. thats why it has to be long because its going to extend to the top, and possibly beyond , of the plant. then just get some string, i use dental floss, to tie each individual branch to the center pole. and you have a longer stick to compensate for as the plant grows and gets taller and heavier you may need to tie it again a little higher.


PEACE!!!

i just use bamboo shoots. dont worry about hurting the roots, it never stresses mine out. just stick em in the dirt and tie branches to them. it will be required soon to keep the buds off the ground:)

Awesome guys, thanks for the info!! I'll get something going today before it gets to late :) I was just tieing the branches to each other but I have a feeling thats not going to work for to much longer haha.. So I don't have to worry about Fing my roots up sticking the stick through the soil, thats the only part I was worried about but I guess you guys have already been in this position!! Thanks again for the help + rep to all you guys!

like rzza said the bamboo stakes will be perfect, and pretty cheap. they sell them in 1, 2, and 3 foot sizes, i think they have like 18-22 stakes in each bag, and they dont cost any more than four dollars. but yea one may work, or you can place three or four of them in strategic places, and tie two to three on each one. man that looks like its going to be some good, and with it being tied up the buds will be bigger. because when you stake it or screen the plant it doesnt have to share its energy trying to keep the branches up towards the light or from leaning over. it can dedicate pretty much all of its energy to producing flowers, which means bigger buds.

That makes sense. If there's any chances of having more energy put into bud growth you can count me in:) Thanks again for the help bro!!

just dont tie them tight, leave room for the branch to swell. even though your so far along the stems still like to harden and get a bit thicker and the ties can cut into the stalk.

Again thank you rzza, and someguy for the room in your thread :)

I just staked a couple party cup girls and tied them off to tight I think. I'll re tie them tomorrow and I also picked up the bamboo today so KK will be getting staked tomorrow hopefully.

Thats what I do . Bamboo stakes work great but I use yarn to tie mine up .Yarn doesnt damage the plant at all .

Hey someguy when do these PE's start smelling? I'm at 4 weeks with little smell.

I tie. yarn to the stake then tie around the stalk loosely. It works good and there is an abundance of yarn around here soo.I use yarn to lst also .I just fold a length in half around the stem then duct tape it to the side of the pot ,no tieing at all .

I use yarn too for any tying. Mine stink pretty good by 4-5 weeks or so but I've been using a carbon filter for a while now so I don't even notice anymore haha They aren't a super stinky strain, but def a great smell if u give the buds a lil groping :lol:

ok ladies and gents i have an issue with my pistils not turning color. im in the 9th and week of flowering(8 week strain) and i thought i was kinda odd that the pistis are still 95% white. yesterday i looked through the scope and i saw a sea of milky white trichs and maybe one or two amber trichs, but like i said all white trichs, and the calyxes really havent started to swell . this is strange because this never happened to me before. what should i do? should i give it another week, two weeks to see if they change? should i chop it now and avoid the thc degrading? dont want to take a loss of yeild, but if i wait and give the flowers time to swell the thc might be degraded to an undesirable point. PLLEEAASSS!!!!! someone give me some advice on this, as i am stumped.

dont mean to jack your thread SG just need a little help with this one.

I would let them go, but if you see too many amber coming on or need to move onto the next round u can still chop em. Some strains are weird about hairs and you really have to check trics. I assume this is a strain you haven't grown out before so you can't determine if this is not normal? Are the hairs starting to change at all? Normally 2 weeks before mine finish the orange start poping up slowly. Give them a bit more time if you can, but you may end up cutting them with white hairs. They will dry a brown color, just not the natural amber if they matured. Weird stuff these plants do sometimes.

I would give it another week or 2 aswell.. Maybe take a sample bud off the bottom to test the potency at this point or in another week but I would definitely give it some more time. Shit if you want post a pic up in fdd's thread, I'm sure he will tell you 2 weeks or so though :)
