Edina

On Day 31, she was looking a little bushy so I decided it was time to set up my manifold. I chopped her back to her first node on her two shorter branches. This left two growth tips on each of the two shorter branches. I also chopped her at her third node on her two longer branches and removed the growth from her second nodes. The second nodes were growing top and bottom of the branch which is not desirable when the branch is growing horizontally. One of her longer branches has growth nodes that aren't at the same place on the branch. I left 4 growth tips on either side though so I think it'll be fine. All in, two growth tips on both of the short branches and four growth tips on both of the two long branches gets us to twelve growth tips total. This might be excessive but I'm experimenting and can cut some off in early flower if something is not working. As long as its done early enough in flower, it should be fine and not stunt her or really impact yield. I'm going to transfer her to the big tent this Saturday and then give her a week or so to acclimate and then switch her to flower. On Day 33, I harvested my plant in flower so I moved her into the tent with the big light and big reservoir. The little seedling veg rig worked exactly as I'd hoped. If I had this plant in my big tent for the first few weeks of her life, she'd be taking up the whole tent, using 10x the energy on the big light and in a ten gallon reservoir which she clearly didn't need. As she was getting established and especially since I'm manifolding her, this little 2 gallon bucket and 12w LED bulb are perfect. She is not as big or developed as she'd be under a bigger light, but that's okay because I'm a month ahead of where I'd be if I didn't use a separate seedling and early veg set up. I left her grow net in the top of the two gallon bucket as that is how she is tied down. On Day 34, she appears to be doing fine now that it has been a few days since my second and final series of topping. She seems happy in the bigger space. I'll veg her for another 4-7 days and then switch her to flower. I'm excited to see what she stretches into.
