That's aome very nice plant training. They will love you for it

Thank you so much this strain is quite easy to train, as you can see these plants are bushy, internodes are very close to each other. At the moment they have 8 tips each, my plan is to make 32 colas each. The 20l pots should be enough for those monsters I want them to become during flower

[Rorschach]

Anyway I'm quite impressed by the bushiness these plants show, probably the lamps made the trick - it's incredible how fast this technology goes.
This is the Auto +Speed this morning:


It's tall not more than 10cm, still no preflowers as I can see. It will become a single-bud with the shape and size of a hand grenade maybe

Weekly update!!
Do you remember the little Speed Auto? It's in 1st week of flower now :D



Only downside: it's 15cm tall



I'm cutting away just a few leaves so the lower flowers can have some light.
I HATE AUTOS, it's always like this - they grow just a little then give me only a few joints of weed.
I have 2 more seeds of that, will pop them after this run and make them grow in a diy DWC pot each (after August) and see if I can achieve better results.

About the Tropicannas: still vegetating, still doing great. Named T1 and T2. Still training those branches:

T1


T2


T1 is bigger and more developed, T2 is little but the internodes are shorter.
Training the branches (8 each) horizontally, when they reach the pot edge I top them. This is the first day I do it, this morning 3 branches of T1 has been trained and topped. 2 more weeks and I'll have absolutely to put a scrog net...

Another good new: clones today showed roots out of the jiffies, so they've been transplanted into a pot. I successfully preserved the genetic of the Tropicannas :D so happy! Still have 2 seeds of that strain, wanna look for the best pheno and make it mothering lots of clones
Named T1 and T2 like the original ones, since the genetic is the same.



They're not in the best shape, but they're ALIVE. The weather is HOT here. The SF smart blower is performing exceptionally, his fully customizable "auto mode" helps to keep the grow tent under 30°C while sucking air from a cooler room in the lower floor.



Another thing I want to show you is how I suck hot and humid air out of the grow room: using an old but good quality PrimaClima blower I suck air from the top of the room and blow it outside. Made it yesterday, this morning the air into the room was sensibily cooler and drier than other days.



This room is a MESS but it's just temporary, I'm working to insulate the room I intend to use in the future.

Lots going on there Rorschach, 15cm lol got a longer plonker but at least those tropicana's are working out. Glad you like that fan. I suspect looking at your photos were in the same region & probably shop at the same outlet lol Servo+++++.

If I might say your over watering a bit but otherwise looking good dude, keep it up.

Dunno, I live in Italy, I refer to my local grow shop for few things buy buy most of my stuff online...

If you refer to the clones, you're right: I've put the jiffies with cuts into a dome with 3-4cm of water and 30ml/l Jump Start added, with 2 air stones, for about a week; the mold you see is because of this. Now that they're outta dome, the mold will disappear (or I'm gonna cut away those parts of the jiffies in the next days). Extra water in those pots will evaporate soon, since the humidity is lower than needed (another stress matter I have to deal with).
I did overwatering a lot in the past, now I'm more careful on this - Speed Auto is having 1l of water every 2 to 3 days, Tropicannas have just increased from 1l to 1,5l each (every 2 to 3 days). I determine the need to water by lifting the pot feelling its weight - the green multisensor tool helps too.

may i ask why your wetting / heavilly misting flowering dope plants ?

[Rorschach]

why your wetting / heavilly misting flowering dope plants ?

is it harmful to flowering plants? I am spraying because of the heat

OK Im wrong then lol, thought you might have been in ES or PT.

is it harmful to flowering plants? I am spraying because of the heat

Yup caps right your vastly increasing your odds of mould, unless you have super low humidity in your area & even then id be really careful.

Nice training buddy
