6/29/24 Week 3 of flower, time to dial back the hands-on part a bit. - Major defoliation. More aggressive this time than last grows, I'll be more aggressive in making sure all bud sites stay in the light this time to try to reduce larf. - Removed plant ring and all LST ties as they have done their bit - Screwed up the LST a bit, one side of the plant is slightly higher than the other. Will deal with this by bending and possibly adding a net to pull that side down a bit more - Keeping with watering every day, 3 days with feed, one day without - Adjusted light to keep at 700 PPFD at top of canopy and 24" of distance - Runoff pH and PPM at 5.9 and 726 respectively - Moved a fan lower in the tent to try to blow up through the plants to keep air moving. A second fan is blowing over the canopy 7/1/24 - Added scrog net. The mainline has created a great shape, but the net helps keep things supported and spread out at the canopy. - Plucking a few leaves as the plant fills back in from the big defoliation. Going to be fairly aggressive here to make sure all of the bud sites stay in the light. - Budlets developing well - Accidentally made a minor break on one of the branches, but taped it up and hopefully it will be ok. - Stretch seems to be slightly slowing - Runoff pH and PPM at 5.9 and 853 - PPFD at 700 at canopy 7/3/24 - Continuing to pluck leaves as they fill in and block light and air from bud sites, may need to do a little more clean up on the very bottom of the plant. - Vertical stretch definitely starting to slow down - Budlets continuing to develop nicely, but smaller than the Green Gelato- lots of sites though - Runoff pH and PPM at 5.9 and 783 - PPFD at 700 at canopy

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 ๐Ÿ˜Š 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!

@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.

@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!
