At day 43, I exfoliated everything from the center of the plant other than the growth tips. It looks like a crown of tops. Now I'm seeing if I can get some of the growth tips on the branches of the 8 colas to stretch too for more colas. Right now, they are closer to the center of the plant but just a little lower than the 8 main colas. Also, I read last night on Leafly that this plant is stretchy. I'm thrilled to read this as I think manifolding works best with tall, stretchy strains.
At day 46, (6.5 weeks) I changed the nutrients to transition and the lights to 12-12. I hadn't understood quite how stretchy this strain is until I looked up some strain reviews. She's supposed to stretch 250%-300+%. She is already ~8" tall so I don't want to veg her too long and run out of room in the tent.
At day 49 this will be the last update for veg. She is just starting to stretch. I took all tie downs off. She looks happy to me. Lots of new, explosive growth. Her root mass is still funny looking. It is filling out close to the base of the plant but still has a long roots. Otherwise, not much to report.
@GrowFanatic, Thanks for your comment and thanks for following! To grow any strain from seed is an investment. Based on awards given and comments I've heard on YouTube and other places, I think this strain is special. We'll see how the next 6 weeks or so go though. Hoping for the best. I'll definitely finish this grow and journal.
Hello bro ! Glad to see it's going quicker than expected , with your hydro system you win a week or 2 compared to a soil grow! Nice done ! I am also a smell fetishists 😂🤣 : so how does she smell ?
@@Greenjum, too bad about the hermies. 14-15 weeks is a long time for an auto! I've done a few auto but they are always supposed to take 8 weeks and end up taking 11 for me. So I just do normal photo period now. Good luck to you in the future!
Check out my 2nd grow, I'm using a bread tie that jams into the rockwool (not too deep so as not to cut any root) and forms a circle to help hold up the stem. It works really great, also keep rotating it to make it stronger.
