Gratitude Grow

10 days ago I topped her twice in one session before realizing I should have let her recover from the 1st prior soft pinching the side shoots. Well, that mistake didn’t slow us down so it’s all good. Today she has her 4 tops pruned for a 3rd topping and I started training the branches for the 8 tops. The branches are uneven and I tried tying the larger branches lower in the hopes I can even them out. This is my first attempt at a mainline so I’m kind of winging it! She’s got lovely thick and juicy stems and I know she just wants to grow tall. You can see her roots are really filling out this 1 gallon bag. I will upgrade her to a 2 gallon at some point but I’m not ready yet. Still trying to figure out the timing on this grow. I attempted to clone her very first top for fun using pro-mix and after 10 days I finally peaked and can confirm we have roots! Pothead might have a new hairstyle soon! Some cool things I noticed after changing her lighting.. under the previous “100 watt sunlike led with additional IR” she grew kind of stretchy but after changing to the viparspectra 100 watt her first set had only 4-fingers (due to change in lighting apparently!) and her new growth is thicker, tighter. We are still being grateful for the rain. We are in the middle of a long storm and humidity is 90+ outside. Temps freezing at night and central heating has been turned on. This has not only allowed us to collect plenty of rainwater in the time it takes to huddle under the porch to smoke a joint (!) but also has screwed up the environment in all the tents and we are learning lots about regulating VPD and reducing wild swings in both temperature and humidity. This is a very confusing and useful experience! She’s watered twice daily to runoff. GP3 nutes. We also continue to grow our gratitude practice daily while watering the plants at lights on. We play them some music, share a pipe, breathe deeply with them and count our many blessings. Happy growing 🌱
