SamuRAND No added amendments, just sandy soil with some charcoal from my fireplace to prevent the medium from falling through the holes of my nursery pot.

SamuRAND Added only a tablespoon of bonemeal to the soil and watered to light runoff. The plant hasn't shown any signs of stress since the feeding, and I've just been lightly bending the plant in different directions to encourage stronger main stem growth.

SamuRAND The plant has now developed 6 nodes with 2 new ones growing steadily every day. I made an attempt at mulching with withered spring onion scraps from my garden and top-dressed with some coffee grounds and 0.8L of filtered, chlorine-free water this past weekend; however, my camera makes the plants look greener than they are. Still lightly bending the plant in different directions to encourage stronger main stem growth. And I'm guessing a tad more nitrogen would help, but overall steady growth! :)

SamuRAND The plant seems to be still thriving under this not-so-optimal light, for which I'm grateful, because we're still getting around 12 hours of sunlight per day :/ On the bright side, in a week, nearly 3 cm of growth, and I finally topped :D Weirdly, the third set of leaves has dark stems and those leaves are curling on the edges, but growth hasn't slowed one bit (at least to my eyes) Maybe I should feed another Tbsp of bonemeal, not sure since I fed it the recommended dose and the packaging reccommends to feed every 3 months so we'll see. In the next week or three, I should be able to transplant. Finally, I took a peek at the roots and there's definitely more growth to come. Good week :)

SamuRAND Finally time for outdoor growing!!! The plant started to outgrow it's starting pot so I inspected the root mass, was pleasantly surprised and decided to transplant. Waited until the lights switched off, which was around 10pm and transplanted into a 30L pot of 50/50 soil and compost. That was just over a week ago and the plants are still thriving, and they showed zero sign of transplant shock (I was gentle ofc). I've been doing the same thing to them since the early days, inspecting leaves, bending them slightly and feeding on a consistent basis. The final thing to do is feed a compost tea as I'm comfortable they'll be able to tolerate. In terms of smell I am, again, pleasantly surprised! This mystery strain has been solved, I'm 98% sure atleast. Leaf structure and smell even at this stage smells so much like GG4 or glue hybrid. Woody/pine, light spice and quite gassy, plus I grew an ancestor of this plant and the effects from that paired with the smells have me convinced. Nearly 3 weeks without an update but that was intentional. I like the overwhelming wave of good news, shows me I'm not messing anything up :)
