As previous week, plant was given nutrient solution every day when the sun went down in the concentration down bellow
- FloraSeries Gro-->1.8 mL/L
- FloraSeries Micro-->1.2 mL/L
- Flore Series Bloom-->0.6 mL/L
When I mixed all the nutrients in the water the ppm was 840. That is quite high so I diluted the solution with tap water to 590 ppm
Diary
Day 57
Today I prepared the coco medium for transplantation. I simply soaked the coco in calmag solution over night PPMed to 550. The next day I mixed 1/3 perlite to 2/3 buffed coco.
Day 58
Plant was transplanted in 3.6 L plastic pot. I was a little late with the transplantation and you could see heavily rootbound structure in the picture I included...whopsie, this will never happen again (ps. It will).
Plant was also topped (third time) and trained. While I was bending I wasn't very careful and the main stem split in half. I solved the problem by duct taping the stem together and shaping a little wire to help support the branches.
Day 59
I also zipped tied the split stem to add that extra support.
Day 61
All 8 new mains are now 2 cm long, plant recovered quikly after training.
Day 63
New mains are now 3 cm long. I also removed the zip tie because the split was healing up perfectly and the support wasn't needed anymore.

Clones report
Clones were given to a friend on day 60
@urbi09, cool!
The photos will take a while to see what they're like, but have a few of their autos going too, so will have a few to try while I wait for the big girls. ;)
Aren’t you going to transplant them? The plant seems to big for that little pot :).
It would be better if you cut the leaves in half from your clones so they grow faster (that’s what I always see what growers do with clones) I never worked with clones so I’m far from a pro lol.
Mine grew like hell last couple weeks, feel free to check them out!
@CoastGrower, you are correct. The plant would need the transplant right now but I am simply too ocupied with school and I still don't have calmag. I want to be sure that the next transplant is perfect in terms of coco medium ( I want to soak it calmag solution for 8 hours).
I have seen some people cut the leaves of their clones, but I simply didn't do it because they were so small...they are doing OK right now...so I dont think there is a need to cut the leaves...
I will also check your diary ;)
@@@Lucimago, I am late by uploading for 2 weeks because plant is already 16 weeks old...and let me tell you....the thickening doesent stop here and I like it haha
Man this is awesome. Very nice work. The topping is as perfect as the design of the plant. Even the Split crack down didn't make critical damages. Congrats
