So far all good.
Air pruning the pot means to cut out the bottom of the pot and put in a metal net in stead.
horizontally along the pot there also have to be a lot of holes.
The reason that this pot techinque is better is because when the roots meets fresh air they stop growing
and the main root makes extra side roots. All the extra side roots makes the plant healthier because
the plant can absorb alot more of the nutrients. And the root it self becomes more natural.

I added the neutrients yesterday when she was 6 days old, and she grew so fast in 24 hours.
Added a pinch of PH powder that makes the PH go lower.
She loved it.

Air pruning pot: A Technic to maximize root system. Unhealthy roots grow in circles along the inside of the pot.
This is due to the fact that the main root does not make alot of side roots.

2 weeks and 1 day old:1 liter of luke warm water.
she is 5,7 cm. tall and 23 cm. long
2 weeks and 3 days old : 250 ml. luke warm water
she is 6,5 cm tall and 28,5 cm long.
Her leaves became a bit droopy becasue of the extra water. Placed her in front of the fireplace so the
soil could dry up a bit. It helped.
the next day she looked fine again.
2 weeks and 6 days old.: 1 l. luke warm water.
mixed with: 1 ml. of TriPart gro / 1 ml. TriPart Micro / 0.5 ml. TriPart Bloom.
she is 8.5 cm tall and 38 cm and 33 cm long.
3 weeks and 7 days old. 9 cm. tall and 38 cm across.
PS. On the pictures themselves in week 3 i wrote the wrong age.
3 weeks and 1 day old.
she is 10.5 cm tall and 40 cm across.
She just passed her 4.th node (counting from her first set of fan leaves.
Since I think she is a bit short considering her age i raised her lights from 40 cm to 60 cm.
3 weeks and 2 days old:
I made a mistake.
i wanted to to some LST (Low stress training) by putting some wire
around her, in order to manipulate the direction of the fan leaves.
So the smaller branches underneath could get some more light.
I broke the fan leaves at node nr. 3. (counting the 1.st node with the first fan leaves.)
I feel so stupid now because i was too eager to fool around with the plant.
From now on I wont do any LST onward with her.
I´m so annoyed right now.
If there´s anything positive to be said right now
it´s that the small branches underneath now are getting more light.
I hope she will make it anyway <3
3 weeks and 5 days Old:
Heigh = t 14 cm. Length = 46 cm
Gave her nutrients today: 1 ml Gro/ 1 ml Micro / 0.5 ml. Bloom
mixed with a pinch of PH Down in 1. l. of luke warm water
Now 55 cm from the light source.
She is growing fine, even tough i accidentally cut of her 2 upper fan leaves.
the small branches underneath are using that mistake to grow faster :O)
4 weeks and 2 days old.
20 cm. tall and 50 cm. across.
She is starting to stretch nicely.
Gave her 2 liters of water this week for the first time

thirsty little girl.
5 full weeks and 0 days
27 cm tall
2 liters of luke warm water.

6 weeks and 5 days old:
42 cm. tall'
nutrients: 1.5/1/0.5 (Gro/micro/bloom)
+ a pinch of PH Down.
Yellow leaves:
I flushed her with 3 liters of luke warm water
3 days ago and now the tips of the plant are less yellow
and the yellow has not spread above the 2 bottom fan leaves.
last weeks (5weeks and 4 days old)
i gave her more than normal nutrients
i gave her 1.8ml gro / 1.2ml. micro / 0.6 bloom.
so i really don´t know if it was the extra nutrients or the flush
that made her better.
i will see how she will look this week.
Her root system is just as large as the Northern Light
which is in flowering period.
so ill just have to see how she does this week
