Or compost it yourself.

That’s exactly what I do, good point :)

The previously-mentioned other two plants shortly before their chop:

Naw, that’s just her bones. The time to take a clone is when the plant is still in is vegetative phase, this one was a fully flowered old lady.

after…

After I made the second cuts I realized I wasn’t going to get the circular crown shape I had in mind, other than that it’s all going as expected I think.

It’s supposedly only 100W equivalent, I should upgrade it but I don’t want to turn that tent into an oven.

Just for the experience really, I’d read about the technique and it seemed like it might be a good fit for my tiny 2x2x4 so I’m giving it a go 🤷‍♂️

Looking great! Man I really need a bigger greenhouse…

Looking good!

All stapled down 1 day later…

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks, yeah she’s coming along :)

I’ve taken the 2nd and 4th nodes from each branch leaving each with 2 nodes with 2 growth tips each, so 8 growth tips total.

My goal is a uniform “crown” of 8 colas so I’ll continue to train each growth tip as they get larger to guide them into that shape.

Oh gotcha that makes perfect sense, not sure where my head was at there 😅

@ed with surprising frequency

“@ed”? This is new to me, what do you mean?

should not tolerate them at all when growing outdoors so I don’t seed someone else’s crop?

That’s my personal take yeah, my nearest downwind neighbor is a ranch about a mile away and I don’t think they’re growing but you never know.

My neighbor went full-on intentional seed factory in his gh over the winter, I guess that was low-risk though.

I have no idea, these were random seeds collected from various strains from dispensaries over a few years. Can’t complain too much about free!

Right on, I’ve got a POTV Lobo with the dosing capsules. Love those things, keeps everything nice and clean :)

It takes some practice for sure. I’ve personally landed on a single jet zippo torch and 3 burns per bowl, starting with a quick burn near the tip for that initial flavor hit then working my way down to the base of the bowl with longer burns to get those clouds.

The idea is to get a slow controlled cure and not a quick dry.

I’m in an arid climate and I generally cut individual branches, let those dry, then harvest the buds, but some of my friends just hang the entire plant up to dry. If you’re in a humid climate then you might look at cutting it down to individual buds.
