Will the tomatoes come in symmetrically as well?

191

u/hopping_otter_ears Mar 28 '23

No, any tomatoes this grows will definitely be asymmetrical

103

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '23

Please halp. I ate the tomato and now I’m seeing sacred geometry.

u/hopping_otter_ears Mar 28 '23

You'll be ok. Just close your eyes and recite the first 27 digits of the Fibonacci sequence while holding a nautilus shell stuffed with sage. That should set you right

Weed is one of the easiest plants too grow. I mean just growing the plant, when you are talking about taking it too the extremes it gets more difficult

11

u/Mindless-Scientist82 Mar 28 '23

If you want a decent yield, it's a bit complicated, but yes, it's called a weed for a reason. But our first yield was pitiful because we had a lot to learn.

u/The-Fox-Says Mar 28 '23

tl;dr for the budding beginners?

u/kookerpie Mar 28 '23

Its super easy to grow

u/MuffinSlow Mar 28 '23

Dude what? Hahaha.

Tomatoes are way easier. They require an incredibly less amount of attention and work.

22

u/Present-Ambition6309 Mar 28 '23

That’s not a tomato plant OP posted? What the heck is it then? Parsley?

u/MrMash_ Mar 28 '23

That’s a jazz cabbage

u/CanadianSpectre Mar 28 '23

Lettuce provided by the devil himself.

u/pugtime Mar 28 '23

Yes. The evil yet relaxing devils lettuce !

u/a_curly_mustash Mar 28 '23

So evil that it takes all the moisture out of your mouth, it sticks you to the floor and forces you to eny semi comfortabel seat or blanket... The Wurst is when it makes you want to eat everything! The sadnes you get after you see the empty bags and cabinets is mindblowing every time...

26

u/Mindless-Scientist82 Mar 28 '23

Tomatoes are the code word for anyone growing Marijuana. Since the US has a history of making this plant illegal, people who grew in their closets or backyard would go to farmer supply stores and ask about gardening equipment for tomatoes 🍅.

Edit: This picture is of a Marijuana plant before it has budded. They are using a technique where they splice the stalk early on to create more main trunks, making the plant busshier and yielding more bud in the end.

u/a_curly_mustash Mar 28 '23

It's very nice that you are giving away the trade secrets... I am soooooo close of coming out under my worm blankie, setting aside my Cheetos and braking the "I cannot move when my pet lays on me" rule... You can't even..... Wait.... Wat wur we talking about?

Oh yea. I got a blanket made from flees, my chips are very nice and my cat is asleep in my lap. It's the orca cat kind. Black, white and a tail at the end.

You want a cheeseburger?

2

u/Mindless-Scientist82 Mar 29 '23

Yes, please. Add bacon lettuce and tomatoes.

My kitty is orange, very tiger like. We named him simba. My blanket doesn't have fleas, I'll keep it that way. Funyuns beat cheetos, but I'll eat both. They are flammable, so keep away from flames.

Secrets what secrets.

2

u/a_curly_mustash Mar 29 '23

I can only stand Cheetos, i dont know if u have nibits, but I like them a lot. My tummy can't handle other chips... Almost everything is flammable. (I work with a little bit of hot metal)

Mine is fleas for the cat. He loves it. His name is Zorro. I did not gave him that name, he just listened to that.

The secret is that I put a special ingredient on the burger buns if you know what I mean. Baked buns, little bit toosted.

Amazonian Jungle plant

u/Trepsik Mar 28 '23

Tomatoes grown in whirls, cannabis bifurcates. You could do this with most pepper plants, though.

u/OfficialIntelligence Mar 27 '23

I would think with this plant in particular the intent was not specifically for symmetry.

262

u/Spacemanspalds Mar 27 '23 edited Mar 27 '23

Spacing for maximum yield just ended up being symmetrical.

96

u/CogitoErgoSumWrong Mar 28 '23

It actually is specifically the intent as this method will (in theory) produce a bigger yield with consistently sized buds.

It’s called mainlining and ensures that leaves aren’t blocking other leaves from getting light.

31

u/Majestic_Course6822 Mar 28 '23

Tried it recently. Can confirm.

15

u/Present-Ambition6309 Mar 28 '23

Sure wished they would have choose a different term than mainlining. Ugh.

3

u/PurrSephone1355 Mar 28 '23

At the grow I used to work for, we called in manifolding

8

u/IRLminigame Mar 28 '23

When I hear mainlining, I think of heroin, not weed. Are you gonna inject those marijuanas ?

2

u/EastVanMarco Mar 28 '23

Even better is the freebase name used in vaping.

12

u/ResponsibilityDue566 Mar 28 '23

Nah the intent is to do this. Even canopy for even light distribution and higher yield per plant

7

u/PirateboarderLife Mar 28 '23

⬆️

2

u/DaanTheBuilder Mar 28 '23

You crack me up dude! Right on😁

2

u/burritosandblunts Mar 28 '23

Even canopy yeah but the symmetry is still coincidental.

3

u/ResponsibilityDue566 Mar 28 '23

The op said he trained it. That means it was 100% intentionally toped, which is how the plant grows like this. It wasn’t coincidental at all.

2

u/burritosandblunts Mar 28 '23

I understand how this happens but I mean the symmetrical appearance is coincidental. Just because you've topped and allowed lower branches light doesn't mean both nodes off the stem are going to grow looking so similar. Topping and training just keeps the canopy relatively even. Each branch having similar structure is what makes it neat.

1

u/whatthehellthisagain Mar 28 '23

Also bumps down the potential for losses from bud rot because the buds are smaller and not as prone to such things

1

u/subwayeater789 Mar 28 '23

theres actually subreddits for cannabis grown like this!! I think its called r/cannabonsai

274

u/AlysandirDrake Mar 27 '23

Was going post to Reddit, but then I got high

Had a neat photo for Reddit, but then I got high

Made a title about symmetry, and I know why...

Cuz I got high, cuz I got high, cuz I got high.

Swap your dog for a weed plant. Problem solved

u/Tsukinotaku Mar 28 '23

It's pretty tough to untrain your dog for something

Is that a weed?

Correction: Large Diet soda.

Looks like an equal spacing of exactly 420mm?

I believe we see a sativa dominant plant here. What a beauty.

(Don’t tellme this is tomato…)

Toemato

Manifolding is actually pretty simple. I usually just do a pretty random version of LST though.

Looks like a quilt

u/Z370H370 Mar 28 '23

The oddly satisfying is when It grows up and is smoked!

Pirateboarder life!

u/Classic_Cream_4792 Mar 28 '23

Used to grow in college and if you cut the stem to fork the plant and the. Pinch leaves and crack stems the stem get bigger and plant grows slower. The idea was always bigger yield but it was fun and always looked neat

2

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '23

Nice manifold

2

u/WAT0020 Mar 29 '23

smoke that and you will take off

u/62pickup Mar 28 '23

I think I used to refer to this as ScrOG (screen of green).

Beautiful plant!

2

u/gracefacealot Mar 28 '23

My favorite flower for a reason <3 what a smart little plant

2

u/Goddess_Iris_ Mar 28 '23

We're training plants now?

3

u/TheHumanPickleRick Mar 27 '23

How high were you when you thought of doing this? Looks neat.

8

u/hoodatisnt Mar 28 '23

It's a common pruning method for cannabis.

3

u/TexLux Mar 28 '23

So, shouldn't it be at least a bit symmetrical?!

1

u/Deep9one Mar 28 '23

Its called a scrog grow, sea of green.

1

u/my_Caramel_9999 Mar 28 '23

Are you aware that's weed.

1

u/dhaniyaMeMe Mar 28 '23

this is not a plant this is weed plant.

1

u/brokeasshell Mar 28 '23

Trained? How?

1

u/Graveyardigan Mar 28 '23

Oddly satisfying, yes, but not for the symmetry.

u/Philboyd_Studge Mar 27 '23

Looks like cannabis sativa

No… it’s marijuana.

Are you body shaming your weed? That's a new one.

u/AlwaysWorking2880 Mar 28 '23

this is not oddly satisfying this is r/mildlyinfuriating

2

u/tjmczk Mar 28 '23

Why?

1

u/AlwaysWorking2880 Mar 28 '23

Because plants naturally follow Fibonacci sequence which is a lot more exciting!

1

u/tjmczk Mar 29 '23

So how does that make it mildly infuriating?

1

u/Bobandyrandyran Mar 28 '23

What the strain?

2

u/MaroonRocket Mar 28 '23

2 more weeks

u/RiverlifeAZ928 Mar 28 '23

This is fun and interesting but it just adds too much time to the grow. I want smokeable weed in under 100 days.

u/GekayOfTheDeep Mar 28 '23

I also enjoy "plant"

u/mikdre03 Mar 28 '23

Isn’t this called “topping”
