@Sejanus21, glad you thought it was helpful! The downside is that it does add a couple of extra weeks in veg, but it really pays off with the plant structure and how it basically self-SCRoGs when done right. I think it's also really fun to do the topping and training, sort of like doing bonsai! Since I'm working in a 2'x4' tent, this did an amazing job of utilizing the space both vertically and horizontally- highly recommended to try.

Interesting link on mainlining, thanks a lot!

@GrowthConsultant, Yes, the plant ring makes a great base for using the gardening wire to do the training. During the last grow, I learned that it's a good idea to tie it down to the pot through those holes I punched into it to keep the plant from pulling the ring up. What I also noticed is that doing that sort of isolates the plant from the fabric pot so I can still move it around without putting extra stress on the plant. That was a problem when I was tying the plant down directly to the pot itself.

Nice idea to have circle around Plant feels good with your hand Well done 👏

happy growing friend ✊✊

5/3/24 - First true leaves are out - Humidity domes removed - Light feeding started with General Hydroponics Flora Series - Plant 1 looking OK - Plant 2 bouncing back, still smaller than #1, but I'm more optimistic about it given how it looked when it emerged - Maintaining daytime humidity in the mid 70's (F) and mid 60's (F) - Humidity at 76% in tent

OK, well... 5 days later and the seeds that seemed to have happily germinated and were transferred to moist coco...have done nothing. The two Green Gelato seeds germinated at the same time and planted the same way popped right up in a couple of days, but not the White Widow. Dug down a bit and the first one had rotted, the second one looked clean and white, but no growth. So, I covered it again a bit more loosely and kept the coco moist and have started germinating a second seed in moist paper towels to see if that will work, but it looks like this is starting over here and at least one of the initial seeds was a bust (and I don't have great hopes for the second one). We'll see!
