Hello, Week 6 of veg! Recovery from second topping moving along nicely, everything recovering well from the second topping and filling in nicely while still staying very flat. For those interested, the mainlining technique is from Nebula Haze at https://www.growweedeasy.com/manifold - this has given me great results in the past and varies just slightly from the OG mainlining technique.
- Continuing with same water and feed schedule- watering every day, feeding every other day
- Fed higher pH water today and yesterday to bring the medium pH up a bit
- Runoff pH and PPM at 5.9 and 604 respectively
- Light still at 400 PPFD, lights about 24" from top of canopy
- Daily minor adjustments of LST to plant ring and grid to keep things flat
- Will probably go for one more week of veg, then flip to 12/12, but we'll see how both plants in the tent are doing
- New growth looking nice and green, some older growth has some minor chlorosis, but that won't be around long since they will be defoliated when flipping, so not worried about these

Not a ton of updates as things are just steady on and no real issues. Plant continues to fill out nicely and is ready for a good defoliation when the 12/12 flip happens at the end of this week.
- Regular touch-ups of LST ties, but now starting to let the main colas turn up to get ready for the flowering stretch
- Footprint and canopy shape and height are good- nice and flat with decent horizontal space for how it will fill up the tent
- No change to water or feed schedule
- Runoff pH and PPM at 5.8 and 580 respectively, PPM trend suggests a heavier feeding won't be a problem, so might start to double up feeding days
- Taking up more water and nuts now

Steady as she goes, getting close to flipping at the end of the week. Starting to let the colas and tips start to extend upwards now that the mainline is established.
- LST is in place and should be good to go for flower now.
- Plant is starting to get thirstier
- Plant is really ready for a good defoliation before the flip to flower, as the canopy is getting really dense and think.
- Leaves are very healthy and green, looks good. Stalk is thickening well and branches look robust and solid.
- Starting to make a change to the water/feed schedule with 2 days of feed then 1 day of plain pH water
- Runoff pH and PPM at 5.8 and 617 respectively, so feeding a bit more going into flower should be fine
@Realtor_Red, Thanks! Getting close to the end, and I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out. Learning some things for the next go, but this one is better than the last, so onward and upward! 😃

- First true leaves are out
- Humidity domes removed
- Light feeding started with General Hydroponics Flora Series
- Plant 1 looking OK
- Plant 2 bouncing back, still smaller than #1, but I'm more optimistic about it given how it looked when it emerged
- Maintaining daytime humidity in the mid 70's (F) and mid 60's (F)
- Humidity at 76% in tent
@Dabking, Thanks so much! This was a fun grow and I learned a lot along the way, I think there are some nice outcomes here. Please do stay tuned- the way Grow Diaries works, it looks like I can't add multiple weeks to document the drying and curing, but I'll keep updating this page as all of that goes along so people can see what the ultimate outcome and results are. Really looking forward to seeing how this one turns out!
@Legendaryseedthumb, Thanks very much! I think it turned out pretty well (we'll see after the dry and cure), but I also learned a lot along the way for the next one. Always trying to get better and get more knowledge. Thanks for checking out my diary!
