Big Things Have Small Beginnings

I hope that it’s okay if I post up in here a looooot lol.
IG has snatched another account for “violating community standards”.
It’s another stupid reminder of rhe crap that cannabis enthusiast/homegrow heroes have to go through.
I really wouldn’t care but y’all cannabis is definitely “frowned upon” in my parts and I literally dont have anyone to talk about this stuff with.
I hate that with a burning fire inside, it’s one of many reasons I’m always online.
I can’t afford to move or I would have done hopped up to Canada and ditched this garbage fire of a country, grumble grumble grumble.
Anywho, sorry and apologies in advance but I may start a. Couple threads to document some different things I’m working on garden-wise.
If I get too bad please just reach out and let me know, I’ll behave I promise lol.
.

Deep breath and sissy rant over.
How about some plants to remind me what it’s all about!

One of many reasons I let IG and social media go in general many moons ago. Between the forum and Discord there's always someone to chat with... And if they haven't banned me yet, you should be fine...lol.

No need to apologize...this is the place to grow...why not go ham?

All the encouragement I need lol.
Thank ya for the kind words and I’m very glad to have found my way here!!!

I hope this works, if it doesn’t I’m claiming old man scared of technology status lol.
A video introduction to my lil flower chamber and current bloomer, wherein I wax poetic about training plants and being here to grow with other folks!

Lots of wires lol

Lots of wires lol

Yeah, I like to bind and be bound.
Wait no what I meant to type was I definitely enjoy tie downs and bends and breaks lol.
I am heavy hands and bad intent when I get to training!

Today was all about training and defoliation in the mixed tent.
Midweek5 and things are proceeding swimmingly.
Let’s get to the pics!
This post focused on the sns icc photo
.
Lookin on the ladies after todays sesh, everybody got a haircut and spread out a bit.
I normally would use the pipe cleaners and do tie downs but I’m out so I’m using these metal skewers that I’ve bent into hooks to hold branches down. More on that here in a bit.
Mixed tent midweek5


Now some process/progress shots.
First up we got ice cream cake photo from sns uk.
She got the most work done today.
I cleaned up some lower junk, topped her, and started guiding branches outward horizontally using the metal skewer/hooks.
I want her nice and wide before I let her start stacking nodes vertically.
This gal I’m using the skewers but normally I’d be using pipe cleaners to do tie downs.

Midweek5 Lookin at the tastebudz genetics autos.
They were defoled and trained a bit today and are looking good.
.
First up we have progress/process pics of the moon berry pie auto.
She got a light defoliation and that’s about it, she’s the furthest along to flower atm so I’m letting her do her thing mostly.


.
.
Next we have sticky mango, or as I like to call her Godzilla lol.
This thing keeps spitting fans and swelling up, I am in love with her lol.
She got the defoliation and I used the skewers to bend a few branches down a bit.
Kinda want to grow out a main cola and ring of buds but we shall see how she shapes up and flowers.

“They call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday is just as bad”

Midweek5 Mixed Tent Lookin
Everyone is recovering from yesterdays training and defoliation.
Color looking good, plant shape looking good.
Eff you Stormy Monday!!

Meanwhile in the 36th flower chamber…..
Ethos Grape Diamonds midweek3 of flower


We got frost and budlets!

I briefly glanced at another thread here in the forums regarding silver spray reversal attempts.
I hope it’s cool to post up about them, I’ve seen forum folk get kind of weird about it.
If that’s not copacetic somebody gently let me know and I’ll delete this post and not mention it again.
If it is okay tho, I would surely love to document my first attempt at reversal lol.
i just started my first attempt last night, using a mephisto genetics jammy dodgers as my test subject.
I have a hardon for good strawberry weed strains and that’s been one of my favs so far.

I’m a bit salty that I did not do any separate videos of the early training sessions on my current blooming ethos grape diamonds.
I did a a couple decent videos showing the actual training I did to set this thing up, it involved a topping, a supercropping, a bamboo stake frame I built around the main stem, all sorts of weird unnecessary stuff lol.
But I did them as “IG lives” and I can’t access them while the account is suspended.
Grumble grumble.
.
So I’m trying to remember to do videos on my phone and then I’ll just upload those later as wanted/needed.
I am currently training, have just started really, training out an ice cream cake photo from super natural seeds uk.

I just topped it yesterday and started bending branches using some metal skewers I’ve bent into hooks.
If it works heres a vid where I show off the little metal hooks and kind of demo what I’ll be doing.
In the video is the plant and I had prior to filming topped it.

The plan of attack with this plant is to spread her out wide before I let her start to stack nodes vertically.
I’d like for the plant to be covering the entire pot and I’ll be bending and topping and supercropping to get there lol.
This plant has maybe another 6-7 weeks to veg so I’m going to get freaky with it.
