Day 14 - Today is the day that we start training. Topped her after the second node. Watered with 2 litres of bottled water to start moistening those 15 gallons of soil.
Day 15 - Lady Magdala has recovered from the topping. Now she has 4 main growing points. Perfect to start my mainlining project with her. Pretty excited!!!
Day 18 - She recovered from her first topping. Now she has 4 main shoots for me to work with. I have about 2 feet until she reaches her planned SCROG net height so she is going to be a big one for sure! Planning to "mainline" without it being too horizontal. So topping and removing any growth underneath to keep only mains but not use as much LST as a traditional mainline. I plan to do this until she reaches her SCROG screen and then switch to flower. By then the 2 autos growing with her will be done.
Day 21 - Second round of topping done today. Topped 4 main growth points, turning them into 8. Growth seems slightly deformed, I mean only the leaves are not as uniform as one might expect. Hopefully she corrects herself. Watered with 2 litres of water and gave first dose of nutrients to this lady.
Fungus gnat problem seems to be correcting itself since I removed a lot of plant mass and installed the yellow sticky pads. Other than that, everything seems dandy... 😃
