AZMamaBear Started on Wednesday 2/16 on a paper towel and on a heat mat set at 82 degrees. Put in the pot on Saturday 2/19.
Her sisters were started in a pot with Arizona Worm Farm seedling starter. I re-potted them after 3 weeks and they already had some fairly decent root development. Therefore, I'm going to pot this little lady at 21 days as well. To give her a little nutrition boost, I've filled 1/2 the seedling pot with Worm Farm seedling mix and the bottom with Fox Farm Ocean Forest. Hopefully that will give her a little extra boost between week 2-3.

AZMamaBear Itβs been rainy and cold this week. Itβs supposed to warm up in the next couple of days and I think by March 1st, we can say goodbye to 40 degree nighttime temps and hello spring temps. Sheβs been inside during her first week of life, but today I put her outside to soak up the rays. Will keep her inside at night until itβs a bit warmer than move her to the more powerful lights in my shed,

AZMamaBear Added a paperclip to help keep her standing up straight. It's warming up in Phoenix, so I've moved her outside during the day, while bringing her inside at night. Hit the hydro store and picked up some Fishsh!t and Recharge. Added that, worm castings and some Down to Earth dry amendments to brew up a compost tea. Gave her a big sip on 3/4

AZMamaBear For my watering this week I used silica and FishSh!t. Silica brand is Alchemist Stout MSA β Monosilic acid. This helps strengthen stems and protect against heat stress. Sheβll need all the protection she can get for my Arizona outdoor grow this summer. Really shot up this week. Was going to transplant her now, but I think I'll wait one more week.

AZMamaBear Was planning to repot at the start of the week, but her stem is a little weak. Gonna give her another week. "Spring" is in full swing. Temps this week in the 80's all week. Gave all the girls FishSh!t/Recharge on March 14th. Still taking them inside the shed at night to get their 18 hours of sunlight.

AZMamaBear 3/24 - I went out to a meeting and when I came to check up on my girls this one seemed shorter than when I left and the top where I watered this morning wasn't damp. Turns out hubby accidentally knocked her over and when he repotted her, buried her deeper than she was. Poor baby - she's been the runt of the litter and now this. Here's hoping she recovers. Will probably need to wait awhile before I top her.
Spring equinox week. Daytime highs 74-89. Nighttime lows 51-59. Top dressed some worm castings and watered with Fishsh!t on 3/19 and again on 3/24 with some Recharge added to the brew.

After 1st topping on mainline formation, how long should I wait to do next topping? Doing outdoor hot AZ grow. Been topping 3rd node as 4th begins forming. Am I too conservative? With 2 weeks between topping, concerned about running out of time.
Hey mate!
The plant is looking nice!
If you are running out of time and want the plant to grow bigger i wouldn't top it anymore at all as that slows down growth for a few days.
At max i would top one more time but you will get a very bushy plant and will probably have to take off smaller lower branches that don't develop very well as they don't reach direct sunlight.
Hope that was helpful..
Good luck π with your grow!
AZMamaBear Just two more weeks till 14 hour days and remove supplemental lights

AZMamaBear One week till 14 hour days and remove supplemental lights. Transplanted into final home on 5/10. Had some yellow leaves, so top dressed with blood meal in an attempt to fix issue.
It's been two weeks since her last topping and she has not developed well enough to top on schedule. Hopefully I can top her again in a week after the nitrogen gets to her roots and she recovers from transplanting. If that happens, I should be able to do her final top the beginning of June.

AZMamaBear Harvested her 274 days - 40 weeks - from germination. 2/19/22 - 11/20/22. Hubby knocked her out of her pot in week 5 when he was doing some work outside, so we thought she was a goner. Being the strong girl she was, she recovered - although she didn't get quite as big as some of her sisters. Due to the accident, I topped her 3 times - for 8 mainlines (most of the other girls were topped 4 times - and had 32 branches.) As she entered the flowering stage, I put 2 weeks in each week of the diary since GD only allows 30 weeks. Since she was an outdoor girl, I gave her a bath before drying her. We had a big piece of heavy duty nylon (I think) netting, so we strung it up outside and put her there to dry. We call it our weed hammock.
@The_Italian_Grower, My real beast are my Durban Poison and White Widow. The DP has a 2" in diameter trunk, a 32 branch mainline and currently stands about 8 feet tall.
