Lily_Bloom Started with chemdog #4 and peyote critical on the same day but decided that both strains should have their own diary because I’m going to grow, especially train them differently. And it was also very easy to spot, that both strains will need different treatments. So, here we go :)

Lily_Bloom Chemdog took its time in the beginning but started immediately with a very beautiful leaf color. I’m happy about it and have nothing else to say this week :)

Lily_Bloom This little beauty is very modest in any way. Think I might overwhelmed it a little at the start.. the dark green color and the slow growth are good indicators in comparison to the glutton peyote :D nonetheless it’s healthy! I already know what training’s technique I’ll use :)

Lily_Bloom Until the plantys grew big enough to not share a light anymore, you’re sometimes going to see pictures of both of them. And that way it might be easier to understand what I mean when I make a comparison between them. Brilliant. :D Because of the short internode of chemdog I decided to go for a classic mainlining, but because this would be a very time consuming project I’ll take it easier and go for a simple manifold instead. But if you’re interested to see me doing a mainlining beast, let me know and I’ll consider it for another grow :)

Lily_Bloom No more hesitation. There is always a significant change and growth to see whenever the box is opened and I will keep feeding a moderat nutrient solution. Less is more with this one here

Lily_Bloom Except the manifold I didn’t use another training but started to decide which branches to cut. First I thought to keep about 8 in total but I had a change of heart and I will go with 16-20 branches. I got the space now, so I got to use it :D

Lily_Bloom This week I defoliated on 3 different days and spread the 4 main branches further as preparation for the switch. I kept the nutrient solution and just filled it up with 3 litre add back. I reduce the light slowly, every second day 2 hours less. Flowering stage - here we go!
