-4/16/23 Start of week
--Week 4
-4/16/23 (Day 29)
--Observations: roots around the outside of soil, branches growing quickly
--Changes: transplanted from one gallon pot into a three gallon pot, increased light cycle duration to 18 hours, distance from light slightly changed
--Comments: forgot to take photo after transplant
-4/18/23 (Day 31)
--Observations: still not having problems with nutrient spray multiple times every day.
--Comments: first photos in new pot, will start training tomorrow near the end of the light cycle (less than 6h light left). will be trying an experimental grow training where the plant is forced to create multiple vertical branches coming off the main stem that will be forced to grow horizontally. should end with more symmetrical and uniform colas.
-4/19/23 (Day 32)
--Observations: branches are big enough to start training
--Changes: started LST today. removed one spade leaf and the branch node it had, also removed one shade leaf from the second set.
--Comments: today is the day to start training, had to remove some parts so that they would not be toughing the soil. should recover and start having branches grow vertically. was thinking about trying the FIMing technique, looks like it may be the perfect time for it. will decide tomorrow after it tries to correct itself, if all goes well it shouldn't be able to pull the tie downs up.
-4/20/23 (Day 33)
--Observations: slightly pulling up tie downs, branches correcting direction and growing vertically.
--Changes: removed another shade leaf that was covering several branch nodes, pushed tie downs back into soil.
--Comments: may need to find a better way to tie down or find a new way because it seems like they keep pulling up and not holding where I want them to.
-4/21/23 (Day 34)
--Changes: removed shade leave on both second level branches, tried FIMing the top. also changed placement of tie downs.
--Comments: doing good with training, removed some shade leaves to open up space for other growth. tried to do the FIMing technique but I'm not sure if it was done right, if not them I may just top this plant.
-4/22/23 (Day 35)
--Observations: still trying to pull out tie downs, branches growing quickly
--Changes: started watering with nutrients
--Comments: continues to fight the tie downs but is still taking to training. giving nutrients in the watering now and not just spraying with them, may start adding molasses to future waterings. still not sure if I did FIMing properly but if it isn't right then I will be topping this plant.
-4/22/23 End of Week
Nice buds growmie :)
We really appreciate you sharing your grow experience and hope that you enjoyed our Purple Lemonade Fastflowering.
Have a good one
@Fast_Buds, I did enjoy the consumption of this plant, I'm just still upset that on the original end date for the fast flower contest there was 60 days added to the duration of the contest. This plant would have had enough time to fully finish if the contest end date was originally what it is now.
