🌿Plant:
👃Smell: Strong.
👀Visual:
Top leaves are yellow and look a little bit washed/burned by light. (I've moved the light away to 45-50cm a while ago, weird that it happens.)

🌿Plant:
👃Smell: Mid. It was strong a few days ago before defoliation - since then smell became weaker.
👀Visual:
Trichomes are forming.
Buds growing.
Leaves are growing after Grow feeding.
Some weird problems with nutrients distribution among branches - one branch has very yellow leaves.

🕒Time: 00:34
🌿Plant:
👃Smell: Mid
👀Visual:
Since I've increased the sleep time to 8h and the distance for lights to 50+cm - the yellowing comes away slowly and the growth accelerates.
💬Comments: Longer rest time and higher lights distance seems to be beneficial. Probably not enough CO2 for photosynthesis. Based on PAR/PPFD maps for MARS HYDRO TS 1000 PAR must be ~400 at this distance while recommended is ~700-1000.

Impressive diary! That is some next level dedication you showed us! Very impressed by the fact that you topped all of your 4 main stems again after the first topping. I am currently at day 17 and like the idea, maybe I will give it a try as well.
Thank you for sharing your journey and best of luck for all your current and future growing projects! 🙏🌱
@NamasteDave, Hehe. In the past I was growing 4 plants in the same space. But they always grew too much and at some point I thought that just one will be enough - with good training. Seems like it is true.
Did you really top both branches from the first node, or does it just look like it? I am currently soaking a blue dream seed as well and your plant looks like it's going to be a huge harvest 👍🏻
@GnomesAndStones, From my notes:
2024-02-24 | D 17 (Main-Lining)
🕒Time: 02:51
🌿Plant (Topping):
🔧Operations:
Topping after the 3 rd node.
1 st node is removed, with the leaves.
2024-02-29 | D 22 (🌱LST & Topping)
🌿Plant (Topping):
🔧Operations:
Topping (Main-Lining):
2 bottom branches (will become 4).
2024-03-02 | D 24 (Top Topping)
🔧Operations:
Topping (Main-Lining):
2 top branches.
So I've removed the first node and everything after the 3rd. Leavin 2 and 3 only.
Following along as I will try this strain in the near future, also growing in coco. Best of luck the rest of the way.
There are plant ties that have a rubber like coating so they are softer and do not cut into the stems as you experienced, something you may want to consider for next time.
@NamasteDave, 👍Thanks
I'm not sure why I haven't used something better for LST than the cheap wires I bought.
After the damage to the branches, I looked at my net made of thick ropes and thought: "This net rope looks exactly like my camping ropes".
Gonna use ropes from now on, it is way easier to set and adjust, and there is no damage.
