I monster cropped these from my last plant during week 6 of flower. It took about 2 weeks to show roots, another 2 weeks to sprout new cotyledons. Now, at week 7 I am comfortable saying we are in full veg. Took forever, but the timing was actually pretty good. Once I got done with drying and trimming my harvest, I was able to transplant this from my aerogarden into the tent.
It looks like she sprouted 3 main colas from the bud sight. Another one may decide to come out as well. They have grown about an inch in the last day or so and the roots have left the net pot and are in the solution. I think she is about to blow up pretty big.
Pretty easy week. She was showing signs of deficiency late in the week so I upped her nutes from 50% strength to 75% strength for this week. The light strength was increased to 50% and the light distance to 11in. The 3 main branches looked developed enough and the roots were sufficiently into the nute solution, so I topped all 3 of them. I began some LST as well to increase light penetration and keep them short. I'm hoping for another 1-2 weeks or so in veg before I can transplant into the big container and begin weaving them into the scrog.
Nothing too crazy this week. When cleaning off old growth from the previous bud, I accidentally cut one of the 3 main branches. I'm pretty pissed about it, but o well.
Other than that, good growth this week. My topping sites look good and I am probably going to FIM each of them next week. There is another lower branch that I am also considering topping next week as well.
It's been about 2 weeks and everything is going strong. I had a bit of nute burn, but I caught it pretty quick and got it corrected. I fimmed every major branch, likely for the last time. I also transplanted into the final container now that the roots are going good. Supplemental lighting was added to the side. Once my plants hit 12" tall I will be putting the extra light under the canopy pointing up.
This week I insulated my tub, the temp is now holding steady instead of overworking my chiller. My humidifier went out so I got some nute burn starting on a few leaves. Hopefully that will resolve now that it is fixed.
I added a light bar to the side for supplemental lighting. This will eventually be below my canopy pointing up once my canopy hits 12" tall and is woven into my scrog net.
Growth is slow going to say the least. Sooooo many problems.
1. I think I topped too often at the start before it was fully developed.
2. My new light was too close to the plant, causing it to burn.
3. I was over feeding before it was ready
4. Humidity was too low, furthering the nute burn.
From what I can tell, things are recovered and growing well again. I'm getting a little impatient and will probably flip in a week or 2, even if I don't completely fill my scrog (not added yet). My goal of a 1 lb plant might be gone. There is always next time. I just need her healthy before flipping.
