LST grow (reboot)

24" x 24" x 48" Grow tent UFO 150w LED grow light 2 small clip on fans timer Do Over Day 1: Planted seeds (10/4/2018) ** Auto White Widow Feminized Seeds is a High THC and Medium (1-5%) CBD strain with White Widow x Ruderalis genetics of the Feminized variety. Day 4 Winnie continues to hang on, but does not look good. transplanted her to a smaller pot and fully flushed. Prayers are being said. :( both new seeds germinated and popped out of the ground. sprayed with water

Week 2 The two reboot seeds are doing fine. Day 10 Both are looking good, just water and light

Day 15 Everything good. Still just light and water. Day 17 Looking good. Transplanted both plants to larger (final) pots. Good drink of water and raised the lights a bit. Day 19 Looking healthy A cap full of Dr. Earth diluted tea (1/4 cup Dr. Earth per quart of water, let set, strain out solid) Stinks, but lots of good organics. ewww Good drink of water.

Day 21 Both plants look good, Topped both plants Gave them a drink Training will start as soon as the new growth starts * side note, I planted the toppings and will try to grow them as clones. A long shot, but no down side. * The grow tent and 150watt light has really improved my set up. Day 25 Starting LST with both plants Plant #1 is a straight bend over training. I will defoliate as I go. Plant #2 I am trying a mainline training. Not quite a textbook example, but I'll see where this goes. still just water and light, plants are really starting to grow fast.

Day 28 Trimmed the top section for the mainline defoliated the "bend over" plant a cap full of Dr. Earth tea Water * attempting to root two of the toppings Day 30 all looks good. the bend over plant is starting to flower, it looks very good, with 4 colas formed the mainline plant is looking real good, will need to wait for the arms to grow out a bid before topping them. Day 34 maybe a bit too much water. Bent over LST plant is a bit wilted, but still looks real good. I'll make a note to hold off on watering. mainline LST is looking real good, but is slow in developing. fed both plants with 2 cap fulls of miracle grow * The two topping that I cloned are in plain water and look to be developing roots (fingers crossed).

slow growth with the mainline LST, but it's coming along, some flowering the simple bend over LST looks stringy, but healthy, developing buds Day 42 mainline is beginning to shape up and fill out bend-over still skinny, but has developed 4 codas that are flowering Both plants look very healthy

Week 7 11/28/2018 Day 50 all looks good mainline LST is going well, flowering, but it did not stretch up, I think I did not defoliate enough bend-over LST is doing great, budding well and still filling out, has 4 nice codas this method seems to work very well and is very easy to do. * the clone clipping I took from the mainline has taken hold (or appears to have, looks like new growth) we'll see! * added a 1/2 gallon container filled with water and a cloth 'wick' to see if I can create more humidity. Current humidity is only 40%. Still on 18/6 schedule, will move to 16-14-12 this week and remain at 12/12 until harvest in a few weeks.

start of week 8 11/29/2018 Day 56 All is good Moving to 16-14-12 in a consecutive days, will stay at 12/12 for two more weeks Day 60 I think I'm going to harvest the one plant (bend over method). It is budded really well and appears to be ready. The mainline method is flowering well now, but seems to be well behind the other plant. I am going to let her continue to flower and will harvest in another week or so. * The clone is still growing, kind of funky, but I'll just let it go and do its think. Harvest looks like it will be much better than my first grow. 4 nice codas on the bendover plant, and lots of flowering and budding on the mainline. I'm happy with the grow so far. What ever I get with the clone is a bonus.

* Harvested the BendOver LST plant. The codas were getting heavy and looked very good. It is drying in the garage. Wet weight was 3.15 ounces, hope to get an ounce or more out of it. The mainline LST plant does not look ready, the flowers are still mostly white and complete buds have not formed. I lowered the light to about 10 inches over the plant, and will keep it growing for another week or 2. It still looks very healthy, just stunted. I think I should have defoliated a bit more. The clone is looking good and growing new leaves. I have started 3 new plants in a new grow and will put the clone in with them when they come up. Day 64: the mainline LST is starting to fill out nicely, it has gotten much more pungent and pistols are turning a rich brow. There is an abundance of trichomes on the leaves around the flower. I'm going to leave it another week, maybe two to see if the flowering will fill out a bit more. * note: there are yellow-brown polka-dots on many of the leaves (Leaf Septoria???). Update: Per advise from experts (@SpinnerGrow and @bulbi, thanks folks) I added more Dr. Earth - it has cal and mag and I had not used it like last grow. I will try to keep a more regimented nuke and watering next grow. The clone looks stagnate, not really doing anything, but not dying either. I'll leave it. I'm going to harvest the mainline at the end of the week. It is very pungent, but never really grew like I thought. The "bend-over" LST did much better, and was easier to do, so I think I will stick with that for the new grow. (we'll see).

results were OK, about 1.2 Oz dry weight for 2 plants. I was really expecting more this time around, but with my limited space and light, I think this is OK.
