@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!

@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!

@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!
