3x POUND CAKE AUTO - 2x2ft. / 60x60cm / LST+SCROG

Zazalamander The plants developed their first true leaves and began to grow the second pair. The nematode treatment in combination with the sticky traps worked as very few new fungus gnats entered the traps since the day of application. Since nematodes need a constantly moist substrate, I watered all the pots with 2.5 liters of water on the day of the nematode application and haven't watered them since (exactly 1 week). Tomorrow they'll get a smaller watering, about a liter per plant. This is more than I would normally give at this stage of development, but I want to prevent the substrate from getting too dry (again, nematodes can't survive in dry substrate). All in all, promising outlook!

Zazalamander They are progressing nicely, I should be able to start LST in the coming days. Plant on the right is noticably behind in development, probably a day or so, but that shouldn't be too big of a problem. Update: This week they made a lot of progress, gaining a couple of centimeters in height. The plant on the left and the one in the back are showing healthy growth. The plant on the right is showing symptoms of some sort which I'm not quite able to pin down, although I suspect it might be HLVD or another viral infection as all plants were treated exactly the same.

Zazalamander On day one of week 3 I started LST, as seen in the pictures. Plant on the right still showing symptoms.

Zazalamander Plant in the back sadly grew a lot smaller compared to the other two, even though the plant on the right has weird growth. Installed the scrog net on day 3 of week 4 and tucked in the branches sometimes twice a day.

Zazalamander The scrogging worked nicely and I was able to fill out most of my tent. Plant in the back is a couple of centimeters smaller than the other ones, but all in all they're great looking plants. I also took off weak branches that didn't get enough light and thinned out the foliage.
