Hello to all our #Madamegrowers we want to wish you a HAPPY 2021 and a good start of the year on behalf of the entire Madamegrow team. The first post of the year is quite curious as well as very useful in some cases.
The main topic of this post is going to be apical pruning of the cannabis plant. As all our #Madamegrowers already know, there is a wide variety of marijuana pruning such as lollypop, F.I.M. pruning, all of them have the same objective to increase production, control vertical growth and control size.
The apical pruning of the cannabis plant is a system suitable for growing indoors and outdoors. This technique consists of cutting the upper part of the plant, in order to control the growth of the plant, causing lateral shoots and more branches laterally. For each cut that we make to each arm, 2 arms will grow in the shape of a Y. Even if we do not accept the central cup, we will not lose any weight, because smaller buds will grow but much more.
If we want to do the apical pruning for the marijuana plant to be effective, we must make a clean cut, although we must wait at least for it to develop three knots. Once it reaches this growth of the plant, we can apply the apical pruning that we want.
The clean cut is made flush with the surface of the third node, leaving three pairs of branches laterally. Just above the last 2 arms, we will grow 2 more open, giving the plant a Y shape.
You have to be careful when we cut the eye, since it can go into a stress process and your plant can suffer. In this case we have a perfect product to solve stress problems. LACALVA STRESS TREATMENT, with a balanced recipe of NPK with high amino acid content, bioencapsulated manganese and secret ingredients, is recommended for times of stress and maximum demand of your therapeutic plant or hemp plants, making them stronger and protecting them from any need or attack . Its use is recommended in phase changes, as well as when there is a lack of nutrients or the plant suffers an attack, specifically designed by MADAME GROW for times of maximum need, it provides all the macro and micro elements necessary to overcome moments of stress.
Not all sativa varieties react in the same way to pruning. Each one acts differently due to its structure, or the shape of its buds. Two arms of the cut eye can grow, but these grow in a horizontal direction, so we reject a good central cup in exchange for two small buds.
This technique is used in indoor crops with the aim of controlling the size and taking advantage of the same space by placing fewer plants, but with the disadvantage that there is a longer waiting time for growth.
How many pruning numbers should we do?
The answer to this question depends on the plants we have per m2, if we have many plants, the number of apical pruning will decrease. Many growers prefer not to put too many marijuana plants, and these few plants will do up to 10 apical pruning before the flowering phase. In this way we will obtain maximum productions with the least number of plants, completing the entire growing space.
This makes a large number of growers want to further maximize production using the Scrog mesh, in which we are interested in the cannabis plant providing us with a large number of arms. Thanks to this technique many more arms are filled in the mesh. Which ensures that each of the arms focuses on the light. With this Scrog mesh, good buds are produced at the tip of each of its arms, maximizing the yields in an exaggerated way.
On the other hand, outdoors we can meditate on this technique as long as it does not attract much attention from neighbors or potential thieves. When pruning it will cause the creation of arms, so it will promote short plants with many arms.
By pruning we effectively cut off the growth of the plant, so we will need to do all the pruning we can to get as many arms. When we cut an eye, new arms will sprout, so we must continue cutting until it begins its flowering stage. The final shape of the plant will be small and round, but very wide and fully full of branches, from which we will get a very good harvest.
In the case of apical pruning in outdoor cultivation, we must use healing paste for plants, since many factors can cause the appearance of fungi in our plant.
Normally, the grower who experiments with apical pruning usually repeats, because we can shape the plant that we want.
