Everything good Day 4. Perfect leaves boost. Guess will transplant the plant to the next size pot today or tomorrow. Upd: finish the transplantation. Found out great roots. Used Great White micorrhizae. Had a little damage in the side roots during process, hope without next stress. Look it tomorrow Day 5. Stressless transplantation. The leaves growing almost without the stew up. Nice control height level using the light intensivity Day 6. Guess have a little stress after the transplantation. Pace of growing a little down Day 7. The final day of the good week. The stress is gone. The plant feels good and continue develops. Finish height is 10cm. Interesting to look how is sativa dominant raising. See you next week

Check out another strain I grow at the same time in Main Lining. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/162361-grow-journal-by-barna-grower Day 1. The new week. Everything well. The new nutrients. Watering day, 2 litres Day 2. The plant shows 5th level of leaves, the old leaves showed week ago disbalance of minerals with a rust spots, but the new looks very healthy. Guess just gave the plant minerals a little early that it need. Few days before a first crop Day 3. Stable pace. 6th level on the table. 1st crop Day 4. Healthy reaction for the crop. Leaves up. Fix it a little to down horizontally. Waiting intensive raise of the branches Day 5. First up in the branches. Keep watching Day 6. Fix the branches to horizontal state. The size is enough to begin Day 7. The last day of the week. The plant survived a first crop and awoke after. Yesterday I fixed leaves with LST holders and down these to free new branches. Also I fix a branches to down these and continue grow more horizontally. See you next week, predict transplantation and 2nd crop with a high stress

Day 1. The plant feels good. Watering day. A little low nutrients because a soil already has enough. 2 liters to the pot. New branches at the start to up a pace Day 2. The branches grow up Day 3. Today evening 2nd crop. The roots shows on the bottom of the pot. 3-4 days before a transplantation Day 4. The plant handle a stress. But based on a pace, stress is low Day 5. The plant tries to up height :) Do everything to direct growing to a sides Day 6. Last evening a bottom fan leaves has been cropped. Today the plant didn’t shows some stress. Guess can transplant tomorrow Day 7. The transplantation is done. Beautiful roots and the last size pot in the game. See you next week

Day 1. Day after the transplantation. Yesterday evening watered with a little more nutrients. During transplantation had a not enough soil and mix bio buzz with a appropriate soil for a home plants. 50/50. Will see, hope without stress. Today I made a directions for the branches. This is final one pot size, so, prepare plant for a circle Day 2. Yeeeeah. Good boost after the transplantation. Made a decision to keep this main lining in 4 branches. Just for test. I have second one plant with 8 branches and same period to start ringing. Will see the difference between 4 and 8 branches. The strains are different but the behavior very same right now Day 3. Yesterday evening was a catastrophe. One of branches has been broken at the base! I found out it too late, it happend out of my control. Remember, meter a pressure during forming you plant. Base rule. Base mistake. Hope to repair it but… with a big hopeness. After actions to repair the connection the branches feels a little better but steel in a risky state. Keep you informed Day 4. The damaged branch are alive! A holder I setup supported recovering. The branch building new connections with a plant. Old leaves are damaged, but the branch growing and shows new levels and new leaves Day 5. So, it’s the final day for the damaged branch. I found out a scarring on the base of the branch and have decided to crop this one. Together with that have removed big bottom leaves. Now I understand this strain not appropriate for main-lining training. Too brittle and completely not flexible. Always tries to go direct up, you can see that. So, finish the cycle for this of course, next time just try topping and branching to train. But now, it is what it is. All in all, continue growing 3 branches and try to form it to have results Day 6. Pay tribute to the strain. Absolutely stressless. And this after removing one of main branches and 4th bottom leaves. I definitely will try to grow it again with another one trainings. Based on behaviour guess topping with SCROG may be appropriate. Watered with 1L of steel water Day 7. The week is done. New mistakes, new lessons :)

Day 1. Watered still water 2.5L. Down light to 33K lux Day 2. Stable pace. We are closest to the next one LST actions Day 3. LST and crop few useless leaves Day 4. LST again, make all branches on 1 level for optimal lighting. I definitely not wait something good for this plant, after I crash a branch I just test this strain for future growing. I do it every time I destroy a main plan of growing. Use this time to understand strain, do a lot of tests if different technics. We’ll see Day 5. Just waiting Day 6. Watered with new set of nutrients. Just change Sensi Grow to 4ml/l as last boost before begin flowering Day 7. Change light to 12/12. Begin flowering

Day 1. Plus 1cm. Yesterday evening I did cut big bottom leaves and small nodes to let the plant free from a useless energy spending. Day 2. Today I discovered a spoiled water in the drip irrigation system. Did remove it and water the plant with Revive 5ml/l to fast repair Day 3. The plant stopped height raising, but up the width and size of leaves and nodes. Guess everything ok Day 4. Plus 2cm. The plant did repair after the defoliation and bad water and shows good pace again Day 5. The new watering of 2.5l solution. And ScrOG net. And internal fan. Don’t need it, but a second one plant in the tent needs. So, continue Day 6. The plant wake up Day 7. Looks like the plant doesn’t think to stop intensive raising :)

Just begin drying entire plant. Will add info… So, after 5 days of first drying 211g on the scale. 50 of this is main heads, top, must tasty and powerful going to a joints. Other 161g going to a hash. It’s done and tedious time of curing begin. One of the lovely strains showed a perfect growing experience again. I definitely repeat one time, at least to see this awesome genetics again. Many thanks for your attention. See you in my other diaries
