Puff_TM_Dragon Typical boring first week. Second set of leaves coming in but growing kind of slow so far. Looking healthy.

Puff_TM_Dragon Quite an improvement. Transplant in a week or so.

Puff_TM_Dragon Transplanted into 3 gallon bag. Reused potting soil consisting mostly of Happy Frog and Coco Loco. Mixed in some Dr Earth tomato and herb fertilizer (4-6-3). Doing well so far. Will probably top it this coming week.

Puff_TM_Dragon I’m a couple days late updating. Topped several days ago. Removed some of the lower growth today. Hopefully that will spur some of the top growth. Creeping along at this point but plant seems happy and healthy.

Puff_TM_Dragon Going to attempt mainlining. Removed everything below where I topped it. This will extend an already seemingly slow veg time longer than I’d like but hopefully it will be worth it in the end. Haven’t watered in what seems like forever. The bag is heavy and she’s been a light drinker so far.

Puff_TM_Dragon Topped for the second time a couple of days ago. Very slowly chugging along. I suspect I’ll need at least another couple of weeks in veg. The aggressive training and defoliation associated with mainline is really slowing things down. Hopefully it will be worth it in the end. Might need a dose of recharge and fertilizer to give a little boost.

Puff_TM_Dragon I think I have it where I want it. Another week of veg and it will be ready to set into bloom… hopefully. Feels weird to trim off so much healthy growth early on. Hit it with Recharge and Gaia All Purpose last night. I let the “tea” bubble for a couple hours before feeding. I think she appreciated the boost. 11/6

Puff_TM_Dragon What a difference a week has made! Looks like it’s in need of another trim already. Not sure how much I should remove at this point. Trying to let it catch up so I can set it into flower soon. Top dressed with Dr Earth tomato and herb nutes. The auto in the tent that is getting better light from the Vipar is almost done. Once that is harvested I can move this one under the better light and it’ll have more space.

Puff_TM_Dragon Keeping up with LST daily. No nutes this week. Gave a deep watering yesterday. No defoliation this week. Trying to let this girl catch back up on growth. Nice looking canopy starting to develop. Another week or two and I'll set it to flower.

Puff_TM_Dragon This plant doesn’t seem very happy with me at the moment. It is staying very compact and bushy which was somewhat anticipated after the aggressive trimming early on. I have given it several weeks to try and recover now but growth seems to have slowed down tremendously. I suspect it is also lacking nutrients as the newer growth seems to be lacking nitrogen. I made a Gaia all purpose tea several days ago with some recharge added but I think I was too conservative with the food. I topped dressed with Dr Earth Tomato food today. We’ll see if that gets her going. I want her to green up again before setting it to flower. Potting up from the 3 gal to a 5 gal would probably yield the quickest results but for now I’ll keep upping the nutes and watering more frequently.

Puff_TM_Dragon I feel like I’ve hit a wall with this plant as far as the veg stage goes. Top dressed with Dr Earth tomato and herb and Dr Earth Flower girl. Watering every 2-3 days. Looking a little anemic but it’s doing its thing. Getting a little impatient now with veg. Set timer to 12-12 a couple of days ago to begin the flowering stage. Not sure how much this thing will stretch in the next week or two but still plenty of horizontal room in the tent.
