Yes i agree, good illustration.
ur plan sounds very good, however the container my babe is curently in is liek 2' in diameter, so im thinking the rooots are probably about 2' in diameter, if i cut out the bottom i will have a 2' circly of roots to deal w/, which i dont think i will be able to put in any ordinary plant container. or should i just put a little biut of soil into a new contaier to leave enought room for all of the roots then just sort of get it all in the pot then fill in the spaces w/ more soil???
Since my canopy has a good rounded formation and the very top has like noting on it i was thinking more of bending up towards the top, just under wehere the bus growth slows down. the reson for this is because i dont want to lean my plant over perfectly good bud sites and have the like be taken away from them, and im thinking if i bend at the top then the light will be evenly dispersed over the plants canopy.
Well, I didn't realize your container was two feet in diameter. How many gallons is it, do ya know?
And as far as the already formed bud sites go, if your concerned about them getting shadowed, they will gravitate to the light. They have plenty of time left.
But, so ya know, on my last grow of PPP (mostly sativa), I had a similar need to do some heavy LST late in the grow. The particular pheno, on this one plant grew TWICE as tall as my others under the exact same environmental conditions. So, I too was forced to LST due to light height. I did exactly what I was giving you the option of doing. In three days, all my vegetative growth was pointing straight up towards the light. Any leaves that shadowed a decent bud site were removed. Not everyone agrees about removing leaves, but it worked well for me. I ended up with 2.5 oz's of dried bud from a plant that was grown in poor containers in the worst dirt I'd ever had the misfortune of using. Plus, all I had for nutes was Alaska fish fert, and B'Cuzz PK 13-14. So, its a wonder I had a harvest at all.
In the end...it's all up to what you choose to do. That's the beauty in growing, you ARE the master.
PC....Thank You kind sir!
Time for an update. Ok so i ended up just bending the very top about 3 days ago, b/c of my plants 5' height and small stalk diameter i figured this would cause the least amount of stress to my plant. The plant has all of the sudden found out some way to pop its top out of the yarn and is now once again back upright 100%.
The buds are still not showing too much growth after being in flowering now for about 2 months. It is odd, the fastest growing bud sites are all located in the midle of the braches, with still barely no growth on the tops. Keeping in mind that my plant is indoors and 5' tall with only a 400w HPS i think i could have used some supplementary lights around the sides.
It is not like my plant is dying b/c it looks healthy as shit, it is just that my bud sites are producing almost nothing except white hairs, which they have plenty of. Along with the lack of bud sizes the plant seems to have almost no trichs on it. I do not have a magnifying glass, only my eye glasses, but shouldnt i be able to see some trichs on the buds and small bud leaves at 2 months flowering???
Im starting to think my first grow may not end up too pretty.
PS i will try to get some updated pics up soon
Yes, do try to get some pics. You know, some detailed, some of the whole plant too if possible.
Remember its a patience game we play;). Some pure sativas can take 120 days from the start of the 12/12 light cycle. One strain called Delat, that I just read about is one of them. The grower says it takes between 120 and 140 days to mature!
Yes, i had heard that sativas do generally take longer than an indica to mature, i know im probably being impatiant but this is my first grow so im about ready to how i did, u know??
I will try to get ahold of my roomates digi cam when he gets back from the bar to get some new pics up. In the mean time i guess ill be hnagin out with my plant watchiing her grow. :thumbsup:
PS ProGrow, have u ever grew or know nething about growing cindarella 99??? i was thinking about picking up some of these c99's from joey weed, i heard they are an awsome buzz. I was wondering what u would suggest for a second grow, if the c99 would be a good plant or not??
Aaaaah--C99, I've just started a run of Cindy99! I'm gonna post some pics of them in my grow log in just a little while--see my sig for the link.Quote:

I know thats vague, but mine are no where near done, so again, I can't speak from experience and don't want to be misleading in any way.
What I can say is, you could do far worse with your choice, than Joey Weed. He has very good genetics from what I hear. And good genetics are half the battle. I'd do it if I were you---umm well----- I DID do it, didn't I?--lol
Very good service from Hemp Depot too---no worries there!
As far as hanging out with your plant....if it wouldn't piss off the Mrs., I'd have slept in the same room with mine by now!---lol I really have thought about it. It's funny how all the nurturing you do, develops a weird sort-of bond, huh?
LOL, i kno, i feel like i have a child or somthing now. And i do sleep in the same room as my lady, well its in my bedroom closet, close enough.
Yes i have gotten soem good stuff from image reaper, sounds like a very smart guy/girl.
Also that is awsome u have just started some c99. And that wasnt too vague either, i was really just looking to see if it produced good yeilds and if it was difficult to grow, so actually u answered my ?, thanx ProGrow..
Im still tryin to get that digi cam also, so hopefully b4 too soon i will have some updated pics for u.
Check my log if you wanna see my little ones. The new pics are going up as soon as I get done typing this.
And IR says he's the dumbest member of Mensa. I've never tried to get into Mensa. I have enough rejection in my life now:D.
Hey ProGrow im gettin suckered to go out by my roomies, and my will power is failing. il post tomarro for sure if not later on tonight. PC
