Day 22: any FEEDBACK on the “topping” is appreciated AG community

five (5) nodes came quicker than expected…cut at the 5th node on the day of the scheduled water change. Hopefully it was performed correctly for this 1st timer

FYI. grobo response received immediately from submitted ticket to confirm pH probe is with a recommendation to remove the bottom “twisting” leaves . grobo support is really great, responsive and caring!!!

I believe you may have FIMed her a bit, picture is not close enough to tell. Not to worry however I did the same. It will turn out well either way!

ChicagoCypher_CC · August 19, 2020, 12:56pm

THANKS! always appreciated your feedback …I’ve been watching your grow closely too as your posts have been helpful Nice Work as look forward to seeing how your GDP turns out as it has been looking fantastic!

SWSVIC · August 19, 2020, 9:13pm

Appreciate you saying so, a very rewarding experience.

Day 27 (3/14 late vegetation)

Hi AG community,

looking for some advice…

is it to remove these fan leaves on my next upcoming water change in a couple of days (day 29)?

the three-finger fan leaves were removed on day 25 during a mid-week fill up of almost a gallon …plan to top off water fills twice a week from now on due to the increased water use …the next set of seven finger fan leaves were removed on day 26

likely to extend an additional week due to topping and trimming but waiting to see how she looks closer to the end of this cycle.

any feedback is appreciated…

thank you SilverGrobo for the information . FYI. I snipped them away last night after getting confidence with AG readings and watching Stephen’s video of removing the top set of fan leave to allow more light in below

Letsgrowmore · August 27, 2020, 12:54am

Your doing a great job man, keep it up! AG has got you covered

ChicagoCypher_CC · August 28, 2020, 3:13am

thanks Letsgrowmore!..i’ve been watching your Blue Dream grow up as it looks great!

ChicagoCypher_CC · September 2, 2020, 3:30am

EXTEND an additional week? Any advice is appreciated.

trimming summary (on water change days)

day 22 - topped @ 5th node (1st cut); removed 1st set of single leaves; grew fast afterwards
day 29 - removed 4 largest fan leaves and 4 fan lowest fan leaves; grew fast and turned bushy afterwards
day 36 - removed large fan leaves, lower fan leaves, “cringled” fan leaves, and fan leaves blocking future buds…hopefully not too much at one time

wanted to remove more fan leaves but had to put the trimmer down before i get carried away…decided to attempt to guide the 10 main branches into different scrog openings

ChicagoCypher_CC · October 5, 2020, 12:37am

DAY 69 (3/41 flower)…any recommendations are appreciated

extended late vegetation 2X for a total of 28 days

trim LARGE fan leaves, BLOCKING fan leaves, and LONGED STEMMED fan leaves, once a week on every morning of scheduled water change
noticed that the fan leaves grow back FAST

Scheduled to do the last major trim up on the next water change in order to free up more light to buds sites
ANY FEEDBACK as I’m anxious to see some evidence of flowering ?

thank you for the nice words

my patience has been improving

Letsgrowmore · October 6, 2020, 2:31pm

This looks great! Maybe do a bit more lollipopping on the stems to help focus that growth up top for best buds!

ChicagoCypher_CC · October 6, 2020, 4:11pm

thank you and thank you for the TIP

ChicagoCypher_CC · October 21, 2020, 2:37am

Day 85 (19/41 flowering)

happy to SEE more evidence of flowering

HOWEVER Support Ticket was sent in tonight

12th week of drain/fills but bottle #5 did not disperse today

tubing was checked and not obstructed with roots

ANY HELP based on your experiences would be great

FireGuy · October 24, 2020, 2:36pm

My bottle 5 wouldn’t dispense because my EC was high. Check your EC probe for build up. If it’s there, clean it off and do a drain/fill.

ChicagoCypher_CC · October 25, 2020, 12:28am

Thanks FireGuy!!

the Grobo Support Team (Danielle, Stephen, and Stacey) have all been great helping out with the Support Ticket that was emailed in

no bacteria build up but the EC probe needed to be calibrated

adding 20ml manual doses of bottle #5 during drain/fills directly to tank while waiting for EC 2.77 solution to arrive in the mail

ChicagoCypher_CC · November 1, 2020, 10:06pm

day 97 (31/41 flower)

EC probe recalibrated and bottle #5 back to dispensing…grobo customer service is outstanding and accommodating
plan to extend FLOWER an additional week …thoughts?
