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.
@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.
Lots of good info at https://www.growweedeasy.com/drying-curing and elsewhere :)
I love your setup, my tiny 4x6 is a bit challenging to get around in late in the season.
My greenhouse girlies did pretty well last year with zero training.
Got this monster cola out of one: https://lemmy.world/post/6442642
And this one topped herself twice, it was the dangedest thing: https://lemmy.world/post/6772062
What I’m doing is referred to as a mainline grow, it’s a type of plant training designed to get you a uniform set of 8 colas (the main flower stalk) instead of a single cola. It can increase the final yield and it looks pretty cool: https://www.growweedeasy.com/mainlining-nugbuckets
yeah I hear that, it’s gonna be a long time to get the manifold established. I’m doing this one mostly for fun and curiosity, if I actually get a good yield out of it then that’s just a bonus :)
I pitched them, I considered taking clones but I’m about at my limit for plants I have time to take care of.
Yep, it’s my own compost loaded with veggie scraps plus male plants and root balls from previous grows. I also may or may not pee in it now and then 🤫
I’m still using liquid nutes on my indoor grow, don’t want all those crawly bois in my bedroom haha
Thanks! This is my 4th grow, I've always used soil but this is the first time I'm using live compost instead of liquid nutes.
I started these from seed indoors one month ago as of today. The strain is Bye-ya x Cake Fighter, a freebie from Great Lakes Genetics gifted to me by my neighbor. I popped 6 of those and 6 rando bag seeds, ended up with 5 of these and 2 of the randos.
Moved them into the greenhouse last weekend and they are as happy as can be ❤️
Not pictured are the other Bye-ya x Cake Fighter seedling and the randos, I'm keeping 1 rando in the tent to play with mainlining, the other 2 are in the greenhouse with the others. In the end I plan to have only 2 girls in the greenhouse, any remaining females are going to fend for it al fresco for the entire growing season 🤞

Molecular farming company Moolec has inserted pig genes into soy beans to generate meaty-tasting proteins that can be grown in plants.
I used to vape with a little Pulsar APX but I got tired of cleaning teeny-tiny threads and screens, and the chamber is a bit small IMO.
I picked up a Dynavap this past summer and really liked it, but those hot monster hits were starting to take their toll on my throat so I decided to give the APX another day in court.
I gave it a good cleaning and was really liking the flavor and cooler hits, but it’s an old device and still a hassle to clean so I went shopping and landed on the Lobo from POTV.
I love this thing! The chamber size is just right, flavor and vapor quality are great, the dosing capsules make cleaning mostly a non-issue, and the glass accessories are pretty nice. Having a swappable battery is a nice bonus too.

RIP Scorchy. Something broke inside and now it won’t spark. I’m going to attempt to repair it but I suspect I’ll be replacing it.
Anyone have a recommendation for a nice twin-jet torch? I use it mostly with a Dynavap and would like something big enough to not refill every day but not too too big. Bonus points for a low-effort reliable trigger, a warranty would be nice too.
Edit: fixed it, still interested in recommendations :)
Trichome development on Vintage Pakistani x 88g13/hp (Deep Line Alchemy 11), 3 plants at week 14. #1 seems farther along than her sisters, possibly harvesting in a couple of weeks. Should have all 3 in the jars by the end of October.
I started using my M exclusively about a month ago and I swear I think I'm using maybe 1/3 of what I was going through when I was smoking.
The main colas on my girlies are filling out nicely :)
Plant #3 is crazy, she topped herself about halfway through veg and then one of those tops (left in the photo) split again just before she went into flower.
Lawsuit: Sotheby's $24M sale to FTX gave Bored Ape NFTs "an air of legitimacy."
The Sotheby's auction house has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by investors who regret buying Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs that sold for highly inflated prices during the NFT craze in 2021.
“Vintage Pakistani x 88g13/hp (Deep Line Alchemy II)” from Bodhi Seeds filling up my 6x4x6 greenhouse. A bit too crowded but it’s what I’ve got for now, I’m hoping to have a larger house for next season🤞
On one hand I thinking it's so cool that a bee is checking out a thing I made, on the other I'm thinking get your pollen cooties away from my plants.
Three freshly chopped males settling into their future life as compost. I had some suspicions about 2 of them and this morning it was obvious that they were males. Into the bin they go!
