So how is eveyone supporting the buds. I like the netting and scrog. How are you all doing it?
I find using micro cord is great but tying a small knot is not fun and can be sticky. So I take a small alligator clip and tie the micro cord to it and the other end i tie a loop. I loop it up on the tent support pole above and simply lean the stem up where i want it and clip the cord above onto it and around the stem.
I go to the dollar store and buy 100’ of garbage tie on a roll for $1… and use that… that gator hook will damage or grow inside the stalk… my ties do but then I am not moving a plant… I am supporting monster buds outdoors… that clamp won’t open far enough…lol…
I’m working on mastering my scrogg technique. I’ve used plastic zip ties to fasten stems to my screen, but they cut into the flesh a little. So I’m using garden twine now, and it works great!
I love the garbage tie method… leave extra as it is really cheap and if required can then be loosened off…
The gator clip only clips onto the cord. I just loop the cord around the stem and clip back onto the cord making a big loop.
See this is what im practicing next! I got the cloning down. I’ve been practicing with coco coir and soil. And i have a DWC i havent used yet. I working my way into it.
You definitely got a green thumb brother, and your going love what you can do with dwc. The cloning thing is what I need to work on. You got that down forsure. I’ve seen the monster roots you can get going!
Thank you so much! Hey you can do it too! I just practiced it. I had some failures for sure and i killed a few being stupid and taking them out to soon. I found the best is just be patient. I also like clonex and there nutrients for seedlings. But next time im going to try dakine420 as my seedling starting nutrients. Usually i just start my seedlings and clones in the clonex nutrients and then go to my nutrients im using for the grow.
I pull my bonsai back with soft wire and little skewers I can make a hook with the wire that I wrap on the skewer and then stake my plants down to keep them low and grow in the direction I need them to.
I also like to super crop the larger branches to the point where I always break one or two stalks. They always heal stronger and
Make sure u let us know how dakine420 works for ya. I’ve got clonex that I use, but am interested about other products.
I will. Im doing a side by side test soon!
