Started with putting seeds into glass of water for about 18hours, till the seed drops down to the bottom of glass.
Afterwards, placed the seed in paper towel in a lunch box and sprayed a bit of water (around 5 sprays).
Sprouted by the next day and placed in soil later that day. 😇
She was growing very rapidly throughout this week so I decided on transplanting her. My first transplant 🙌 and I think it went well, even with regards to timing.
Gave her a bit less than 1L of water throughout the week.
PPFD was adjusted to 500 after transplanting
She kept growing really strongly and reached 6 nodes. Since she looked very healthy I decided to try Main-Lining. I've read/heard a lot about this technique but never tried it for myself. Lets see how it goes 🙏
Around 1L was watered during this week, 2 days prior to Main-lining. Will be adding nutrients by next round.
PPFD adjusted to 600 after Main-Lining
This week she grow enough for the second round of Main-lining. The first Main-lining split the main branch into 2, This Main-lining split each one into 2 creating 4 branches.
Tying them down will be the most important thing about this week because this results in the main shape of the plant.
PPFD: 600
Main-lining no. 3 is shown here creating 8 main branches 😍. This is the final level of Main-lining that I wished to reach. Now we wait for the new branches to grow a bit stronger and tie them down.
PPFD: 600
Started off the week with a good tie down 😳. Every new branch is now held down, along with their parent branches with the aim of strategically shaping her for the best spread.
Now its time to feed and just let her grow 💪
PPFD: 600
Growth has continued and now it's starting to pick up some speed. I am constantly moving the ties further out so I can spread the branches more evenly.
Unfortunately suffered 2 long (4+ hours) power cuts during this week so I left the light on for 24 hours during that time so that the power cuts will be their resting period.
PPFD: 600
Looking Back I think I should have probably started increasing the watering frequency
Removed two leaves from each of the main branches to improve airflow. Don't plan on doing any more defoliation up to flowering
Turned on dehumidifier because the humidity should be much less than it actually is but I'm worried because lowering the humidity would result in an even hotter environment which is already an issue because I live in a humid, hot country.
Moved light up but increased strength to increase PPFD
PPFD: 700
In hindsight I should have probably started increasing the amount of water I give.
Setup the scrog net so I can start shaping the plant even more. Not doing much right now but will be using it further on.
Increased watering frequency by about double because I noticed that the soil is being drained very fast.
Further shaping it so that I fill up the tent as much as possible.
Additionally some leaves have been tucked to open up space for other growths to surge up from the middle section of the plant
Kept on tying down branches and bending the new branches that are popping up in the middle.
Removing a couple of leaves that weren't doing very well with the aim of uncovering new development.
Turned off dehumidifier because I think it was damaging the plant when combined with the high heat.
Plan on going into flowering really soon.
Used this week to recover from light defoliation and 12/12 flip.
Started adding Advanced Nutrients Big Bud to the feeding.
Some heat stress is noticed on the leaves
Finished the week off with some bending on the biggest ones to make sure they give way to the stems in the middle. Planning on increasing Potassium and Phosphorus even more from next week.
She has started showing signs of flowering
A great harvest from a great plant. Took very long growing because I wanted to keep Mainlining it until we had 8 main branches. But overall a great learning experience
I'm currently just feeding. Adjusted dehumidifier because I noticed it was going a bit too hard. Looks healthy overall but had a couple of yellowing leaves
Bought Bud Factor X because I heard a lot of good things about it. Should have started it a couple of weeks ago but better late than never. Really looking good overall now. Wish it was a bit less hot but we adapt accordingly.
Removed a bunch of leaves (over the days not at once) that were covering the buds. Tied a couple of branches to a side to let light pass as well.
Looking good overall, unfortunately it have been hotter than usual making it difficult to lower humidity to optimal values during flowering. Some heat stress can be noticed on the leaves.
On the other hand, during my last watering I noticed some nutrient burn on the leaf tips so I ended up giving one clean watering session of 5L.
Continued removal of leaves that were covering buds from light or dieing off.
A very weak smell has been noticed this week.
Slight nutrient burn on the tip of the leaves but hopefully it won't be of much affect to the final product.
Trichomes are still clear but will be checking them regularly from now on.
Nutrient burn might be going into a more advanced stage. It could also be heat stress as I have lowered the light by a bit to have the buds be at 800 to 1050 PPFD.
Bought a new nutrient bottle called nirvana and started adding it this week. Not the best time to start but it might be a better late than never scenario.
Buds are getting heavier.
Removed some leaves especially ones that were already dying off.
The smell got stronger
Starting to notice a couple of amber trichomes on the buds receiving the most light, might be time to chop soon will keep a close eye
Hello my friends, if you don't want to repot your plant, I think you'd better not delay too long in putting it in bloom. in view of the size of the plant and the pot
@Hou_Stone, Thanks for the tip but can you explain a bit more why please? I started with a very small pot and then swapped to this 19L pot directly, then I did 3 main-lining sessions which delay the grow drastically with the aim of shaping it how I want.
Wow buddy!! super nice buds
What an amazing grow so far - good job and well done 🤝
Happy Growing & cant wait for your upcoming weeks 🌱
Cheers, Bud Boutique 👩🌾
Unfortunately I can't finish this diary because it's giving me errors when I add a new Week. Turned out pretty good in the end :). Will throw all photos in the last update
