    Good morning growers!

    We are about to kick off a really cool product test for the company CannaCages, who has very generously donated several of their CannaCages plant trainers for a Grow-and-Show review with our @Cultivators !

    We have @Cannacages and @Dantew86 with the company here on the forum to answer any questions you may have about the product and it's use, where to purchase, etc, and we'll have our test panel of Cultivators that will be doing documented grows here in this thread showing the installation and use of the products!

    You can learn more about CannaCages on their website found here.

    They are also on Facebook and Instagram!

    You can reach them by e-mail via: info@cannacages.com

    We'd like to personally thank CannaCages for providing the units to our test growers, and a personal thank you to our cultivators that are donating their space and time to helping conduct this Grow-and-Show!

    Looking forward to seeing the progress updates, thanks everyone!
     
    Germination
  • Is that time. Dropped 6 Purple Frost Giant fems from Welcome To The Grow Tent (photos) to soak in water and h202. Shooting to keep 5. 1 will be trained in the Canna Cage and the other 4 will be trained my normal way. These will be grown in my grow room under the HLG Scorpion Diablo and 30w UVA. Using the Autopot system with Jacks for Tap nutrients, Raw Silica, Botanicare supplements, and Tribus Original. Still haven't repaired the Canna Cage but will b4 it is needed

    Germination
  • I direct planted these beans in solo cups 2 days ago, I used reused promix from last grow that has been washed/flushed. i will be using a 660w Cultiuana full spectrum LED light that i am reviewing. This will be my 2nd run with it and its an amazing light for a 4x4 :smoking:


    I will be using megacrop 1 part, dynomyco, bud explosion, cal/mag, bud candy in RO water for my autopot's 12 gallon res.

    My goal is to have 2 plants but i would like them both in the same container but for testing reasons I'll keep them in separate pots and do what my bud @Cooterjuice is doing and get a tomato cage for plant number 2 for a comparison side by side with our cannacage test.

    My cage has been repaired but another joint busted off while giving it a check over last night, it is hard joint to repair being 1 of the bottom stake rods that goes into the dirt, i'll make it work but as a tester/reviewer this might upset a person who hates DIY or repairing things (i enjoy it tho) i hope we all can help you guys improve these pretty cool looking cages :thumbsup:

    Kindbuds canna cage installation pic
  • Got some runners to take and are pretty equal in size so finally trussed the two halves together with zip ties and installed on the back SIP to start the side by side test! Looking healthy and I believe they are about to explode as both res are at half full from the other day. When I get a couple more nodes I will start bending and twisting!

    Start of training
  • Started to bend and twist the two MobStar’s Dream girls for the side by side showing. Not sure if this strain is tall or compact, bushy or lanky and thin… no idea, but will train them like they’ll explode. Trying to keep a uniform pattern? so they get equal amounts and are trained similar.

    Kindbuds MobStar’s Dream girls
  • Here they are at day 48 from seed. I picked the wrong plant to cage. These are not homogenous, two different phenos… trying my best with the caged girl. She is short and bushy. Both got a trim today as caged girl was thiiccck with leaves and the other uncaged one is Gonna be a leggy auto.

    As you can see front left and upper right are the caged and control. Both fed and watered at the same time. Hard to judge frequency but both are getting almost a gallon every other day. HLG 600r is on fourth click from off. Temps are steady at 75F.
     
    Flipped to flower
  • Flipped the Cannacage lady and her sisters to flower!! Time to see her blow up!! Added the uva bars, defoliated, cleaned Autopot rez and filled with Jacks Bloom and Botanicare Supplements.
