I soaked the seed in a glass of water (which I forgot to pH, very big mistake) for 18 hours, then moved it to a wet paper towel, this time making sure to bring the pH down closer to 6. It's Saturday, the cotyledons are emerging under a dialed down grow light. I'll put in a humidifier next.

I missed the chance to take a photo of her on Day 21. I flushed the soil with pH balanced water after noticing slight nutrient burn on the leaves. I plan to start manifolding later this week after the 5th node appears.

Beginning of Week 6 On 20.02, day 39 I topped her for the second time at 5th node. 23.02, day 42: The four new main tops are slowly taking shape.

I broke off one of the four tops when trying to get them more spread out with a training wire, making the grow assymetric.

Continuing the vegetative growth. After a while more, I will top them one last time, resulting in six tops. The original plan before accident was to have eight. I keep removing biggest fan leaves from the bottom to improve air flow and redirect energy upwards. Sunday 09/03/25 (Day 56) - third topping! At this level, all the fifth nodes counting from the second branching out had already seen decent side growths that all the energy will now be redirected to. It's my first ever grow utilizing manifolding after only topping previous plants once and it's looking really promising.

After I took the humidifier out, the relative humidity inside the tent stabilized at around 40% I think I should put it back in, even if just for evaporating passively. I'm waiting for the current six tops to grow stronger before applying training methods to keep them more spread out. If I had a proper air circulation system, I'd probably try turning the 6 tops into 12 in the nearby future, but the thing I should focus on instead is finding a safe and effective training method to make everything grow more horizontally. I was thinking a sort of hook with a weight hanging from it to stop the upper thick stems from going up so fast. I am keeping the fungus gnat infestation in check and more sticky traps are on the way. About once a day I remove the lowest fan leaf to prevent the energy meant for tops from pooling at lower levels. This is fun

Week 9. After some more time, I expect the six tops to grow stronger and I will treat them like six tiny trees, optimally letting each of them develop three colas - one top and two sides. The internal sensors of my humidifier got broken and now read the temperature as 48 degrees Celsius, turning the timing of its operation completely manual. At least it still works. I am going to label the six tops ABCDEF for a better individual approach that matches their needs rather than batch processing all six.

hi brother I am very interested in the variety which pot will you use for the final stage? I am curious, I have a grow equal to yours where I put 4 pots of 5 gallons in scrog and lollipopping if you only have one seedling I strongly recommend a mix of atami humus of earthworm a bag of biobizz of 50 lt and a nice pot of 50 liters you will have great satisfaction remember to top before the third week so then it will be easier to put it in scrog I am happy for your cultivation I will mark the diary BEST WISHES👽👽👽

@555ABKY555, 20 liters, with perlite and biobizz coco. I've never considered using an even bigger pot, but I guess 30l would work too in a 80*80*160 for a single plant. You can check my previous grow of this strain.
