Hey now, hope everyone is having a great weekend! This week went pretty well for my genetically mutated little seedling. She's got leaves growing out at all different kinds of strange angles. I have never had a plant like this, but I decided to keep her and do my best and see what happens with her. Right now she is in a solo cup with a mixture of pro mix seedling starter and perlite and I am watering every other day with just plain water around the edges of the solo cup. I am hoping to have her transplanted by the end of this week, and she will be going into a 3.4 gallon airpot. After transplant she will immediately receive high frequency fertigation every 5 hours or so from lights on and also receive supplemental UV/IR lighting from this Medic Grow Spectrum X. She is currently receiving the V1 Spectrum at 30% which is the blue/veg spectrum.
I am planning to top her once but I don't know where yet as I don't know how she will grow, but hopefully around the 5th node. I will then just do LST to try and keep a level canopy and see what happens with her. If anyone has ever grown something like this hit me up and let me know how it turned out.
Thanks for stopping by, stay safe, and Blaze On! 💪

How Interesting! So we both use part of the GH flora line. I’m gonna have to look up what ya mention above and put that into my spread sheet. Lovely details. Thanks for posting! 🙂💚
@Tweezer, omg yea strain 6 has been insane. Just about to update the final weeks and harvest for that plant now. I was stuck in trim jail forever so haven’t been on too much! Love the girls above. And the tomato plants!!!
So Interesting about the leaves. I hadn’t realized that most of strain 6 was 3 leaf fans, or 5 at the most. Lol. I love all the little genetic differences we can find along the way of growing. Hope you having a great one! 😃
Dope notes! For seedlings, I use my "Cup Inside of a Cup" method:
Two "solo" cups, with the 1st solo cup's bottom removed and then the remaining cone is sliced in half. From there I fill the 2nd cup with about an inch of aquarium gravel and insert the two halves from the 1st cup (to make a cup inside of a cup).
When transplanting, I remove the outside cup and then place the plant into the hole. Then I gently slide out each half of the inside cup. One thing to note is that the new Solo cups have a weird shape that is not good for cup in cup. I had to switch to an off brand like Hefty.
Another cool thing is that I can check the progress of the seedling by briefly separating the two cups to check for root growth in the aquarium gravel.
@Tweezer, I just added some photos to my Germination week diary. I planted clones in their final flowering containers this around, so I do not have any live examples to show unfortunately.

@NegotiatedBubble, Hey now, I have heard of that technique but never tried it, do you have any pictures of the two solo cup technique? I want to try it but not really sure how to set it up...If there is any way to shave off even 24 hours in the seedling stage of an auto grow auto grow I am all about it....
