Ever since I started using additional silica in my DWC feeds I've been experiencing much thicker and more rigid stems in general. 

I also tried to defoliate as much of what would not be used sooner rather than later, specifically with this grow I definitely took a more aggressive approach. 

In terms of how I top, I'll usually wait for the initial 5 nodes from seed then top in-between nodes 3 and 4, cutting as close to the 4th node as possible. This leaves a little bit of stem on top of the 3rd node which in my experience gives them much more space and support to get nice and beefy. It should also help much, much later on to prevent the stem from splitting at that point during your last few days of flowering. 

This is the specific silica that I use:

Whats happening Evan :)  great suggestion on the silica. Would this stuff work in a coco substrate? Just add to the other nutes? I'm using Atami's High Porosity Coco and fabric pots.
Your grow is looking so goooooooooood man... Those thick stems!!!!

Been a while since the last update, still building on the initial flower production. Things have been pretty breezy so far. I didn't quite get the flat canopy between the two bigger plants that I wanted but ey 🤪

Eeeeeey guys 😆 been kaaaak busy with a really exciting venture that I hopefully will soon reveal.

As for this grow, everything is smooth sailing. Probably why I haven't really had much to say, literally just waiting for more development from the buds :-meditate

Just been taking a couple leaves off everyday just to open up the colas as much as possible. even from the bottom nugs I'll be getting some decent popcorn. The main colas on the big plants in the DWC are just getting bigger and bigger 😵

Slowly working towards that harvest day 🥳 opening the tent is an event every time now and the aromas are quite amazing. The Pink Mango Gelato has a very distinct and sweet smell with the resin producing a sharp vanilla smell on the fingers 😩 I'm super stoked on the progress.

The outdoor baby is also looking classic. Not super huge buds but the shape of the whole plant I really like 🌲

I feel like I had so much more to post about in the past and usually posted whenever I ran into snags, which were plenty and often, but now not so much 😅

Very nice! Coming along nicely, although what is up with the tips of the leaves?

Broke out the 'ol tripod ( @TheUltimateNoob, @afternoon blazer 😉) and took some trichome and bud shots to see where we are with harvest.

The outside lady (Skywalker OG) is one dirty girl 😐 dust and bugs will definitely be on the flavour profile if I don't do a wash. Will be the first time I do a bud wash so that will be interesting. I rate in terms of harvest, I think I will begin the flush, do that for a week and harvest sometime closer to the weekend.

Inside we are still maybe looking at harvest at the end of the month. Buds are getting orange hairs and the aromas just keep getting better. The sugar leaves look insane and I am very happy with the progress.

Very sexy stuff you got there 😁 @Ill_Evan

But I think end month harvest is rather optimistic 😉 Can't see any amber so far. When my sugar leaves are amber, I usually start to flush. Anything with active pistils, I don't even check.. weeks to go ^^

I want to take some pics in a week with the grow lights off to get a more neutral white balance, I rate we'll get a much better idea then. At the moment the end of the month timeline is just based off of the breeder's recommendations, totally willing to go over 😆

      Please Note the price is R 4,500 PER BOARD (I will settle for R 12,000 for all 3)
      Selling Reason - Downscaling - I only have space for 1 in my new grow area, so I am selling the other 3. Also listed on bidorbuy with buyer protection, however more expensive to cover the site commissions.
