Watering for four minutes every other day with lights at 75%. Transplanted to 3 gal fabric pot. I could see roots, but she wasn't rootbound. I'm using Living Soil from Desert Mirage Farms (https://desertmiragefarms.com). Against warnings to not transplant autos, I chose to do so this time because of my early watering struggles in my last grow. Trial and error... Desert Mirage Farms advised I may see some bottom leaves yellow due to the hot soil which matches what I'm observing. Overall she seems to be thriving after the transplant!

She is thriving! I haven't added any nutes, just ph adjusted water. A couple yellowing leaves on the bottom, but I attribute those to her starting to flower rather than a deficiency. LST has worked wonderfully, giving her multiple even-height bud sites.

Now that she is flowering, do I remove my LST tie-downs? Or do I just leave them on and make sure her stems have plenty of room in the loops?

Check my OG Diesel Kush autoflower diary out. I left all my LST ties down. Make sure you leave space for the stem/branches to thicken

Continuing the same light and water from Week 8. I'm very happy with the results from LST and will likely do it on all future grows. About 50% of the pistols are darkening, and I'll pull out my digital microscope to start monitoring the trichomes in the next few days. After growing AK-47 with a super strong smell, I feel like this strain barely smells at all!

She's done! Although I didn't see any signs of nutrient deficiency, I think she would have gotten much bigger with additional nutes besides the living soil. I'll be testing that in my next grow.
