9/30/18. She still looks great. No burn and no deficiencies so far. I fed her a liter and a half . The pot is now heavy but not totally soaked. I did not water to runoff but the lower portion of the pot is wet. I don't like soaking the pots because the bottoms take ay too long to totally dry and I have had issues watering schedules.
10/5/18 Still doing perfect with minimal attention. Bumped up the amount of Grow Big last feeding with no ill effect.
Looking ahead and having weeks before the auto is done I didn't know how to face the upcoming issue of vertical space. Shes too big to LST and I did not want to top her because shes doing incredibly well and want to see what she will produce. I rigged up a scrog contained within the bucket. I did a mod years ago to a smoker which gave me the idea in the middle of the night. I might change out the screen itself since it was just what I had on hand but will see how it works.. The openings are 2.5" so it should suit my needs. I have it set at 8 inches above soil but it is fully adjustable up and down by the nuts on the threaded rod.
I plan on keeping the main stem under the screen to induce the plant to keep producing shoots and fill the area. Im pretty excited about trying this and Stay Tuned.
@iHateSativa, Great to hear on both accounts. I definitely would like to clone her if possible but space is limited with only one tent. I do have several space buckets I could use.
I currently have a plant from my last grow that I took two weeks into flower, rooted and flipped to veg. Left her outside when I went away recently and she started to flip back to flower again. She again went under 24. She is huge and pumping out shoots and veg everywhere. Figure I basically megacropped her 1 1/2 times.
@bobo420, Thanks. This is my second grow but my first with non-bag seed and some idea of what I'm doing.
Fist grow was bag seed and started in space buckets and then later into the current setup.
I am having issues with the other seeds sprouting but am being patient. I germinated them in water then paper towel. The seeds cracked and were put in soil 6 days ago with moisture and a dome.
It would be great if the heat wave would break...nothing like keeping temps in check when its 100+ degrees outside.
@bobo420, Thanks Bono. What should I do with her? Let her go au natural or top and LST?
I kind of screwed up because I still have 7 weeks on the auto before I can flip to 12/12. Plus I have 4 clones rooting.
I might have to top and train to slow her down a bit.
