5/17/24 Starting week 2 of veg. Third seed seems to be the charm and is growing fairly well after the first 2 that failed to emerge after germination. - Plant still in Solo cup, roots visible at bottom and good development of root ball. - Will transplant into final 5 gal. fabric pot in a couple of days - Slight increase in PPM for feeding - 3rd set of true leaves coming in - Plant looking healthy, green leaves, reasonable amount of stretch but not a runt. Stem seems a little thin so far, but nothing alarming- could be a genetics characteristic. - Runoff pH at 6.0 and PPM at 1015, a bit high, but plant not showing any burns or deficiencies - Light at 450 PPFD, 18" away from top of plant - Temps and humidity steady, with about a 7 degree F swing between night and day 5/19/24 - Repotted into final 5 gal pot - Heavy watering with light feed to saturate the new coco and get runoff- pH for runoff at 5.8 and PPM very high since it's buffered coco - Roots looked very healthy and white, not root bound at all but ready to move to a bigger pot - 4th set of leaves coming in 5/22/24 - Plant settling into new pot nicely, no sign of repotting stress - Watering every day, alternating one day of water and one day of feeding with light nutrients - pH of feed water varying between 6.0-6.3 - Runoff pH around 5.7, PPM, still very high due to fresh coco, but coming down steadily - Leaves nice and green, 4th node coming in - Noticing an odd mutation on one of the newest set of leaves, where the center finger is much smaller than the others on the fan leaf. It looks like 3 sets of leaves are coming in on this node, but it's only two- one just looks odd. Could be due to the genetics, not terribly impressed with the curveballs from this set of seeds, but this plant seems fairly stable and is at least growing. - Going to wait for another few days to top, want to make sure it's well established in the pot and see what's going on with this newest node.

@GrowthConsultant, Yes, the plant ring makes a great base for using the gardening wire to do the training. During the last grow, I learned that it's a good idea to tie it down to the pot through those holes I punched into it to keep the plant from pulling the ring up. What I also noticed is that doing that sort of isolates the plant from the fabric pot so I can still move it around without putting extra stress on the plant. That was a problem when I was tying the plant down directly to the pot itself.

Hey, great diary btw, very detailed. I've got white widow auto (RQS) in a mixed / variety tent right now and it's good to see you also dealt with some higher % humidity but avoided bud mould. Great pics too btw.

@Superfly0303, Thanks so much for reading and the compliment! I really wanted to try to make a diary that not only charted the process but hopefully helped out some others as well 😊 Yes, I'm happy to say that mold wasn't an issue for me. I've got a fairly well-controlled environment where my tent is, so even though it's not totally PERFECT it's well in the safe range. I think some of the things that also helped me avoid it were lots of moving air (two fans, one above the plants and one below, but not blowing directly on the plants) and active defoliation to make sure there was good light and air penetration of the plant. Good luck with your grow as well- I am very happy with the harvest and I bet you will be too!

Wow big fat nugs! Looks really good. Happy harvesting my friend. Keep up the good work. Best of wishes. /LST😁🌱

@Legendaryseedthumb, Thanks for the compliment and checking this one out! Indeed, I think it turned out pretty well, though next time I'm going to be a bit more aggressive with the defoliation - but it's all about learning and trying new things, right? Looking forward to seeing how these come out of the dry and cure- more updates to come!

Interesting link on mainlining, thanks a lot!

@Sejanus21, glad you thought it was helpful! The downside is that it does add a couple of extra weeks in veg, but it really pays off with the plant structure and how it basically self-SCRoGs when done right. I think it's also really fun to do the topping and training, sort of like doing bonsai! Since I'm working in a 2'x4' tent, this did an amazing job of utilizing the space both vertically and horizontally- highly recommended to try.

OK, well... 5 days later and the seeds that seemed to have happily germinated and were transferred to moist coco...have done nothing. The two Green Gelato seeds germinated at the same time and planted the same way popped right up in a couple of days, but not the White Widow. Dug down a bit and the first one had rotted, the second one looked clean and white, but no growth. So, I covered it again a bit more loosely and kept the coco moist and have started germinating a second seed in moist paper towels to see if that will work, but it looks like this is starting over here and at least one of the initial seeds was a bust (and I don't have great hopes for the second one). We'll see!

@Erin_Electro, Hi! I'm now also germinating this strain from RGS and the very same thing happened to me! on the paper towel all 3 seeds poped the tap root but when transfered to coco only one is growing. I'm on day 7 now and I jus lost the hope that the other two will sprout. I guess I'll have to fill the 2x2 tent with only one plant... Your grow look's good, good luck!
