This plant has been generally weak and pale from birth.
When I transplanted her she had hella roots, but her leaves are pale and growth is significantly slower than anticipated. Glad I didn't choose this plant as my star.
Hopefully she'll catch up and green up eventually.
Week 3,
She is looking greener and darker than last week. It's been about 3 days since I topped her for her first mainline. Her side branches are growing nicely. I'll use my best judgment on when it's time to start defol and stripping bud sites, but I'd say next week at the earliest.
She isn't the fastest grower, but she also isn't picky at all.
Week 4:
This lady is consistently my slowest grower, and I topped her, so she's WAY BEHIND the other ladies in her batch.
But she still has 101 days until she goes outside, so no sweat.
Besides her slow growth, she has beautiful dark green leaves and a strong stem. Not everyone can be the fastest. It's entirely possible I just got a slower growing phenotype. I won't pass judgment until flower. I won't be taking clones of her though.
Today I accidentally popped half the plant off by tightening the LST too much. She's probably a goner. I dipped the snapped tip in rooting hormone, but it's short so we'll see.
This has been a learning experience. This plant is no longer on my list of potentials to plant out for a giant harvest. I'll leave her alone for a week, but the plan right now is to grow out her side branches, clone one, and start over.
