Anvil by Gnome Automatics

Started the seed in water and H202 for 6 hours then placed in moist paper towel on my Cable box, seed tail had sprouted after 24 hours and was placed into a rapid rooter with the seed head just below the surface. Seed popped above the top of the rooter in another 24 hours.

Seedling is cruising along. Just feeding plain dechlorinated water ph'd to 6.5 Seeing growth each day from morning to night. Trying to take a daily shot to show some progress, I always like when others show the real growth of the plant not just snaps through out.

Growth was a bit slow last couple days and there has been a little droop, I chalk it upto a little over watering, I'm coming from Coco and am used to keeping the media at field capacity so it has been a little un-nerving to let the soil dry out so much but it has rebounded now and I think I have learned my lesson. 12/23/21 Transplanted the plant into its final home, a 3 gallon fabric pot. The soil is the same Gaia Green living soil, I mixed 3 handfuls of perlite into the bottom soil along with 1 tablespoon of the bloom amendment and some Dynomyco. I also spritzed the new holes inner walls before it placed the plant in and also dusted all the root mass with dynomyco. I the covered the top of the soil with a layer of hydroton to help retain some moisture and also ward off any bugs. 12/26/21 Topped the plant today, it's still getting used to its pot after transplant. Have not full watered yet only spritzed the top of the soil with plain water

Plant has perked up quite a bit now and is showing signs of some real improvement. It has acclimated to its new hiome and has started pushing the lower shoots after being topped on 12/27/21. Still have not watered it yet since transplant only light misting on the top, there is still some moisture in the bottom of the pot the spritz is just in an attempt to keep it slightly moist at the surface. 12/30/21 Received my Blumat moisture meter, I will be using this to dial in my watering to the optimum level as I transition to living/super soil. 01/01/22 First training on the two main shoots. The meter has really been a help over the last couple days to see how much the plant likes to drink over the course of 24-48 hours. I am going to try and maintain a reading between 80mbar and 140mbar , last water was 1L and brought the reading from 135mbar down to 33mbar. So a little out of the range I would like to Maintain, I will water with half of the water and see what that does.

01/04/22 I super cropped the main shoots to spread them and over did it on one side, will have to monitor to see if it rebounds 01/05/22 Plant has recovered a little, I think I am in the clear after my little mishap. I have been maintaining a moisture reading between 80-140 mbar the plant seems like it is doing well 01/10/22 Daily training staking to shape the plant, have been watering when the meter is showing approximately 140mbar probably 1/2 a litre a day is what has been maintaining the levels I want. No top dressing has occurred yet I have been feeding microbial mass at half dose once a week.

01/11/22 Morning shot of the plant before lights out. She always looks a little rough in the morning has definitely been getting enough light, the Grow 200 is plenty of light I am not even at 1/2 strength, I have been using Photone to measure the par at the canopy, it is not 100% accurate but I think is still valuable when determining light levels for my knowledge I try to keep it around 350-370 right now once the plant stretches a little it will naturally increase its par levels to the 500-600 range, I have not been seeing much stretch yet so I'll keep training it horizontally to keep it low. 01/12/22 Raised the PAR to 450 will monitor over the next 24 hours and adjust back if it does not respond positively. Plant response to the training has been good the plant is definitely growing well. 01/14/22 Reseated the Blumat, watered a little heavier to make sure it was reading correct. Did some light training, plant seems to have responded to the par increase without any ill effects I may consider increasing it again but not sure yet, I want to wait and see how it stretches as it has not begun yet, just starting to see a few more pistils and some non symmetrical branching so it is getting close to beginning flowering.

01/18/22 Plant looks to have begun stretch and flower, starting to see more pistil development. Still no feeding of any nutrients but I do think I will do a top dress soon just to ensure there are nutes available when it wants them. 01/22/22 Preformed a slight defoliation of suckered nodes below the canopy. Also did a small top dress with bloom nutes at 2 tsp along the top to stimulate some activity up at the top of the soil so it's ready when I actually need my biology. 01/24/22 Lowered the ppfd a little ,it was spending a portion of the day drooping I believe it is due to a combination of the humidity being a little low and the light being a little strong. Plant is flowering all calyxes are coming out purple which is nice as it is true to the genetics. Hoping to get a few more inches of stretch before the budding starts really building. Did a slight defoliation/thinning of the inner growth today.

Week 8 Plant is looking good but has been spending a portion of the day droopy, I think I have narrowed it down to humidity which was at 25% which has my VPD up around 1.8 which is not good. I was able to get my RH upto 45% and it seems to like it much more , my VPD is not ideal but it's much more acceptable. Day 55 Plant is spending much less time droopy now, when lights come on it has started praying again after 2 hours as opposed to the 4+ it was taking before. Par at the canopy is 650ish currently and humidity is pretty constant at 40% now. I may bring the DLI down a touch more right now its 34 I might try to bring it down to 30 and see how it reacts to it , I still feel like the plant has more light then it can use currently.

Day 57 Pplant is looking good, still spends a few hours a day droopy which I believe is due to too much light. Mt temps are between 73-78, RH is 40-45%, water every other day @6.7ph lightly ,plant is 20" from the light getting 16 hours a day. All other parameters seem to be fine so I cant really say why it starts to droop other then it's just saying I have had enough. I've adjusted the par down to 525 and it's at dli of 30, I'm not too worried as the plant does look fine thus far and is growing each day. Day 59 Plant has responded well to the reduced par, it is now at 450 I am going to begin to lengthen the day a touch and see if the plant likes it Day 58 Plants have responded well to the reduced par , I have bumped it a touch upto 500 after a almost a week at 450 they have started to budset nicely. Day 59 Top dressed today with 3tbsp of Bloom from Gaia Green and Earthworm castings then watered with 1.5 litres of 6.3ph water. Also removed some inner sucker budsites and leaves to direct energy upwards.

Day 61 Plant is bulking a touch now, seems to have stopped vertical growth. Leaves around the main tops are starting to really purple up starting closest to the center out. Day 69 Plant is bulking up nicely, starting to stink a little and show some trichomes too.

Happy with the grow definitely strong genetics from Gnome.
