Shaman - second grow of 2025

arealpersononacid One of the cotyledons came out damaged but hopefully it's not a big deal

arealpersononacid On day 10 I moved her to a 30L fabric pot. After three more nodes develop, I'll perform the first topping.

arealpersononacid Day 15. Third node. The plant is looking cute and healthy. Day 17. Fourth node is showing. I've been keeping the lamp dimmed because its full power heats the tent up to over 30 degrees Day 20. Topped. Looks sad. Shouldn't take long to recover.

arealpersononacid Week 4 begins with vigorous growth of the new tops. I was about a day late to remove lower side branches because I originally intended to make them into clones, but then I decided against it to focus on the tops.

arealpersononacid Week 5. I'll probably top for the second time when the main growths get big enough. Day 33. I topped for the second time, using second nodes' branches as new mainline. I hope the smallest one with burnt tips recovers quickly with the newly redirected stream of energy, its growth tip doesn't show the burn that happened to the outer leaves. I tried using the cut tops as clones, dipping them in clonex rooting gel and placing them into soaked propagation cubes in a humidity dome. They are getting the same 18:6 light schedule the plant does but are placed lower. Day 34. The plant is responding well to the topping, I expected a bigger slowdown. Directly after topping I lowered the light intensity and the lamp, which also got the temperature down from 29 to 26 degrees.

arealpersononacid Week 6. Still recovering from the second topping. As the new main stems get longer, I try to spread them out to the corners to take up space evenly. The clones made from cut tops 4 days ago aren't dying so they might root soon. Disregard the seedling in the third cube, it's a different strain. Day 39. I noticed fungus gnats, way too many of them. I'm spreading the mainline towards the corners as the stems get stronger and trainable.
