Garden Update: Training Day
White Widow is looking great. The structure on this plant is pretty much perfect.
Low stress training with the clips from @futuremind. In about two months, these branches are going to be full of thick buds.
Purple Haze isn't as thick, but that is what makes it cool. Instead of thick leaves, she has the skinny leaves that sativa strains are known for.
It will be cool to see the differences between the different strains as they mature.
AK47 is getting thick. It is hard to believe that she was almost dead a few short weeks ago.
These leaves look like when you blow up a balloon and then deflate it. But they are doing their job and soaking up light and making it strong.
These branches are ready for some clips. Gotta start training them early.
This is going to be such an interesting plant.
Big things coming from these ladies.
Things are progressing quite nicely in the grow tent. My white widow and purple haze are about 22 days old and the AK47 is about 30 days. The AK47 had some issues early on, but she is doing great and has a super thick and strong stem.
Good thing the Ak47 has such a strong stem because for some reason, instead of growing two branches from each node, she decided to grow three. I have never seen that before, so it will be interesting to see if that affects bud production at all.
My white widow is doing amazing. It is the best looking plant out of the three of them. She has perfect symmetry and a nice thick stem and branches. I think she is going to do really great over the next couple months.
Purple haze is a bit smaller than the other two, but this is normal of the sativa strains. I think she is going to stretch more than the others once she begins flowering. It is going to be really cool to see how different all three of these plants look. I really hope that they all have their own distinct smells as well.
Last night, I cut the main stem on all of the plants. Now over the next couple weeks, I will be getting them ready for the net and eventually flower by bending the branches around to create an even canopy. One thing I really want to do with this grow is have a nice canopy so all the plants have good equal lighting. I added my fourth light into the tent now and will start to position the plants so they can spread out and take over the entire 4x4 tent.
These next few weeks should be pretty fun as I get the plants ready to begin their flower cycle. I think about 2 to 3 weeks until that happens, but it will all depend on how fast these ladies grow because when you flip the lights to induce flowering, the plants can stretch a lot and almost double in size. It was really cool to watch the GDP stretch and create a bunch of new flowering sites during the early stages of flower. I can't wait to have a tent full of nice looking buds again.

The plants are looking healthy and happy. It is a funny deflated look with the AK leaf, but it seems just fine :)
The leaves even feel weird, like super thin. But they are doing what they need to because she is getting thick.
I also have planted tomatoes and chillies in my garden, it also has to be planted with a lot of effort and watered on time, otherwise they all die and all the effort is wasted. You are working hard and these plants will also grow much better. I'm also a big fan of @@@futuremind and I started doing this kind of work just after watching them.
Nice. I want to grow some tomatoes soon.
Thanks.
Good job with these planties, they look pretty good. I gotta say that the clips are genius, instead of putting up a wire and tying it...
Being able to grow this marvelous plant freely...I envy you nobly :). Hope some day I can grow here in my country as well... 🙏
Greetings!

The clips really do come in handy. Hopefully you can grow this plant where you live soon. There are so many medical benefits to it.

Amazing man! Can't believe the AK is doing so well after almost not making it! lol
It seems I have a habit of stressing seedlings out to the point where they almost die and then they are super strong after. It will be cool to see if it has a massive yield from all the early stress.
You are well on your way again. I thought we started a new round about the same time but you are certainly a week ahead.✌
Thanks man. It will be cool to see everyone's gardens when we are all in flower.
Looking great bro!
Thanks homie. It is gonna get pretty exciting here soon.
They are really growing like young ladies in their puberty stage lol especially the AK 47 that that wasn't doing well earlier, it's now beautiful with fresh green flowers, let's wait for production.
I really think that she is going to do great during flower.
Is obvious because the leaves are thick and so green looking healthy.
I would love to see the flowering; I will be watching @derangedvisions
I have little to do with this plant because of taboo issues; however, they are excellent for health, and as a physician, I am very interested.
Greetings from Venezuela.
Thanks for stopping by and checking them out. It's going to be exciting to see what they do.
Thanks to you for the excellent information @derangedvisions

Thanks.
Are these any special types of pots? What's their advantage over the normal pots?
Ya, these have holes throughout them to being more oxygen to the roots. They work really great.
What are they called and are they better than clay pots?
They are called Air Pots. I think they are better than clay because they allow more oxygen in and allow the roots to breathe.
Looking amazing bro, we're going to have to get you hooked up with more of those clips soon. Your plants are likely going to snap those.
The photos are amazing too, and I'm always taken back with how vibrant your foliage and stem growth is. You're a gifted gardener, a gifted photographer, a gifted writer, and a gifted artist.
Keep up the great work! 👍
Thanks man. I appreciate the compliment. So far the clips have been working great. The smaller size work perfect for the more sativa dominant strain. I will definitely hit you up for more when I need them.
I think AK 47 got scared and started a process of recovery in order not to lose its place. I hope they grow up in the healthiest way, my friend. I also love your pots.
Well either way, I am glad that she pulled through and it won’t be too much longer before I get to try this strain out.
Do ever branches break when you put clips on?
Sometimes they do. I’ve broken a couple, but you learn to massage the branches a bit to get them more flexible
Your plants always have such a lush green. Seems like you really have a green thumb. Amazing plants
Thanks man. I’ve learned a lot over the last couple years of growing them.
