2-23-22 Day 23. Candy's two mains secured to her stem. After removing those two giant fan leaves. I also used a small zip tie to prevent the stem from splitting. Day 27. Candy is doing great! So I topped her two mains at the first node, and secured them to side of pot. Let's see if she can take it. Confident her recovery will be swift. Remember..........Love=Magic

Well it seems like this week was a carbon copy as last week. Other than topping 4 mains instead of 2. Last top. I will go with 8 colas this grow. Truly my first time Mainlining. 2 clones have grown roots, 3 have not. Either way I don't know where to go with them. Maybe the bike trail once it warms up a bit. Make someones day come fall. I also noticed discoloration on some fan leaves, adjusting Ph and taking it easy on the nutes. Wish her luck, MrYuk out.

So week 5 is in the books. It took just under 3 weeks to complete the Mainline set-up. All thats left is some LST to keep the colas even. The "hard" work is done, Now I watch and wait. Oh yeah, sometime this coming week I will add a tomato ring to secure the colas. I'll let Candy veg for a couple weeks, then I should have some room to move her to the magical bud tent. MrYuk out.

Week 7 complete. Not a lot going on since I have the Mainline set-up. Added a tomato ring and used LST to keep the two colas inside the ring at the same height as the others. Feel like I will miss the time spent maintaining my SCROG set-up. Pix are from Day 48. I will move Candy to her new tent this week to begin flowering. MrYuk out

Hey Kids, Week 7 done. Not much to say but Candy is growing beautifully strong and healthy. By next week she will be in the Flowering tent. Then the magic begins. MrYuk out! Also added pix of Candy's clones. Clone 2 has 3 symmetrical growth points per node starting on or about the 4th node. see grow question.

Grow Questions

MrYukstarted grow question 3 years ago
So one of the clones from Candy, a (fem) Northern Lights has 3 symmetrical growth points starting at or about the 4th node and continued on the 5th. So when I top do you think the trend will continue. Any insight will be appreciated. Thankx MrYuk.

I am currently growing some Zamaldelicas that expressed the same mutation. Whorled phyllotaxy is the common name for this. Most likely, HST technique like topping will break the apical growth and risk that the mutation will not continue. It could ended with a fascination type of top flower. Fascination is not polyploidism. If you want to see something different don't risk to top her. Try other LST techniques to maintain an even canopy.

I moved Candy to the flowering tent on day 60. She seems to be doing great. A little LST to keep her canopy even. Set up Picture on day 59. The afternoon sun coming in the front window, a puff of smoke and Candy make a beautiful picture. IMHO MrYuk out.

2 weeks in the flower tent and we have BUDS! Just starting but still.... Candy seems to be out growing the other 3 Mainline Clones in the tent with her. Candy was grown from seed and the other plants in with her are not her clones. What a difference Candy's stem must be 4 times the size as the clones. Good Luck. MrYuk out

Well Candy's day finally arrived. Plunged into 48 hours of total darkness on day 116. Chopped on day 118 after 52 days of flowering. She had just started foxtailing just the slightest bit and her tricombs were about 5% amber. Only problem with the grow was a bit of WPM. Solved that problem. I will post pix and weight next week. Thanks for following. MrYuk out

Candy grew for 118 days, 52 of them flowering. Other than the mainline set-up and a bit of WPM, this grow was a snap. 73 grams of sweet sticky smelly BUDS! MrYuk out!
