Crop King Gelato 48, my first grow.

On June 05 my dumb ass put them in the big ass pot instead of a solo cup. I wanted to see why for one and two we were out of solo cups at the moment…….Technically this grow had five seeds planted , four survived. The one that did not I attribute that to me trying too hard…. I.e. quit thinking it needs water, your going to drown the fucker more likely…. Out of the four that survived one had the shell of the seed stuck on and I could not get it off easily. That plant started out this grow considerably behind, my name for it was the runt plant. Also for this grow I used that tree as a “control”. Why? I have no clue what the fuck I’m doing and this tree was behind in growth and I assumed topping the other three a couple times would add considerably to their grow schedules and maybe the last would catch up. Which brings me to what I’m doing. Mainlining ? From what I can read? Maybe a touch of scrog if I can find something that makes sense to me?
