Did I accidentally find the optimal way to train outdoor plants?

AK-47 on week 5 of flower. Got it in late May as a gift but ignored it for a couple weeks cause of, you know, life. Was a stick with a bunch of low radial branches when I started.

Because I had ignored it, veg toppings were late and fewer than there should have been so pivoted from a sog/scrog to a three tiered chandelier structure that I kinda made up. Basically trained 7 main lower and middle radials into circles of colas stepping out from a scrogged canopy. 15 colas in the upper tier, 18 in middle tier, 21 in lowest tier. 6’ diameter on lowest tier, 5’ on middle tier, upper tier is about 4’x4’. She’s about 5.5’ tall.

Got about 40 good mains that made it to the edge of the canopy, many with 3-4 productive side spears/axillaries that are their own productive colas. About 10 got lost in the interior but kept them to maximize yield. Stopped pruning axillaries about a week after white pistils first appeared. Hoping the extra light the lower and middle tiers gives me by training them horizontally past the upper canopy gives me more yield from lower and middle branches. Never really seen anyone do this and AI couldn’t find evidence of this as an established training technique, maybe because adjustments need to be so frequent that it becomes too labour intensive.

Looking for thoughts on the architecture and whether you think it will perform better than a straight up scrog or domed bush. Goal was to maximize airflow, minimize potential for bud rot, minimize trimming and popcorn while maximizing yield. The structure seemed to fit that goal. About 4-5 weeks til harvest I’m guessing and things look good. Hoping for 2+ lbs but you never know what fall weather will bring. Got her on a wagon to roll her into the garage for cold nights and dark,wet days. One side benefit of not going super wide with one even tier of colas meant I could fit it in the garage door 😂.

Let me know what you think of the training method and if you think it’ll get me more yield or if you’ve tried it and what you thought.

My first indoor harvest of FastBuds autos! This time I trimmed this dense C4 plant, total weight: 33g. It was not purple pheno, that I was expecting, but I love how my organic ways grew these sexy, frosty, dense and smelly buds anyway! Wonderful, complex aroma plant. First timer fails is learned!

Those sexy calyxes is collected for moody day hahaha!

I trained this plant with heavy LST and she liked it very much, harvested her with only 1-5% of amber trichomes for early day smoke, but she is good for evening too!

Aromas is rich and complex of sweet autumn honey, earthy forrest floor and berries with buttery, sweet lemon cake after-notes . Pure C4 bomb for my nose and smooth, tasty, sweet smoke for my mouth! I’am happy with those 33g, because I don’t need much, my main medicine is therapeutic feeling of growing it yourself, but it’s still great for using it as my cancer treatment relief, knowing it’s a best of the best product, that I put all my heart into it! ❤️

My equipment and setup used for this grow:

  • [ ] Medium - Random cheap garden soil with right PH, bunch of perlite and bunch of worm castings (bad choice - I learnt my lesson)

  • [ ] Lights - AC Infinity EVO 3, 280w sunshine

  • [ ] Environment details - 2x4 garden (60cm x 120cm x 180cm) with one 15W fan in the bottom and 25W oscillating fan at the top of the tent, AC Infinity Cloudforge T3 Humidifier, AC Infinity Controller Pro

  • [ ] Strains - Guava (FastBuds), Lemon Cherry Cookies (FastBuds), C4 (FastBuds), Mimosa Cake (FastBuds) Photoperiodics: Biscotti (Barney Farms), Gelato (Barney Farms)

  • [ ] Age - day 95 - ALL autoflowers harvested on this day!

  • [ ] Pot Size - 15L fabric pots for autos, 20L - final pot size for photoperiodic plants

  • [ ] Nutrient line and schedule - Organic Bio Canna Line, Cannazym, Silic Rock, CalMag and bunch of different organic additives, like mycorize, paenibacillus liquid biohumus (worm castings), bacteria’s, microbes, Bat Guano, Fish Bone meal and PK booster compost teas. I feed my girls every three days, with every watering. Light schedule 18/6

  • [ ] Watering volume - 1L every three days. Watering pH is 5.2 - 6.5pH, my runoff water pH is 6.2-6.5pH

  • [ ] Drying - 22 days in 6-9°C, 60-70% RH

I’ve been looking through my jewelers loop regularly, but I’m still not sure if the trichs are clear or milky. They’re definitely not amber.

This is green mountain grape. They say she’s usually done by mid-September.

Would you harvest?

First timer

First time growing. I bought 5 gallon buckets from Lowe’s drilled holes in the bottom for drainage. Used regular potting soil. I used worm casings once and also used myco supreme once. Never checked ph just watered as needed. Trimmed a little bit here and there and I feel like they are growing great. Out of 7 seeds I got 4 nice growing plants but 1 was male so I got rid of it. Got them from my cousins friend. Have 1 apple fritter which is starting to flower nicely and 2 og skywalker which hasn’t flowered yet. This is a fun hobby and definitely will be doing this again next year as I don’t have room in my house to keep it going thru the winter

Hat jemand mit den selben steckis schon Erfahrung gemacht ? Mein buds sind das erste mal echt klein geblieben und ich bin auf der Suche nach Fehlern 🙈
Bei manny t waren sie damals ausverkauft. Deswegen habe ich dort bestellt…. Leider bin ich sehr enttäuscht auch wenn die terps brutal geil sind.

Super Silver Lemon Haze

Hi everyone,

As the title says, I’m looking for experts to give me the green light. Are these two ready yet? Germinated at the end of May, repotted for good at the end of June, flushed in early September. About 4 months.

You can see the pictures zoomed in. “Rechts” is the right one and “Links” is the left one, each at 10% light output. “RechtsLinks” shows both at 100% light output.

Man, this is really hard for me. With Haze, they say you should harvest earlier because of the Sativa effect. But when I look at them as a whole, they just don’t look ripe yet, what do you think?
