Mandarine Jam (Sensi Seeds)

OG_Big_Worm The week begun a little worse than the week before, as the Mandarine decided to stretch massively, resulting in tip over, which I resolved by putting more substrate on top. Besides that, everything was going good so far.

OG_Big_Worm This week brought pretty much new growth :). Decided to top the plant and it turned out to be a good decision as she continued growing as happy as before.

OG_Big_Worm As she was still in recovery from the first topping, there was not much I could do :). Growth continued as before - but still not enough in order to top again.

OG_Big_Worm Did some HST/LST this week. Heatwave in Germany caused super high temps in the tent, fortunately this is only veggie right now, so I am not too worried, trying to maintain perfect airflow and appropriate VPD.

OG_Big_Worm This week I did some more defoliation and removed all the LST/HST-Clips from the plant. Plant is looking good so far, but she still needs a bigger stretch before I top again, also she needs to stretch in general as I want her a little bigger before I send her into flowering. So for now it looks like one more month of Vegetation 😢 But nonetheless I am pretty happy with the plant so far and today her 3 little sisters popped so stay tuned on my other Journal 😁!

OG_Big_Worm This week was a heavy training week. Yesterday I topped around 20–25 active tips and combined it with strong LST/HST to spread the canopy into the SCROG net. A few branches audibly cracked during bending but remained connected. The video shows her current condition after yesterday’s topping and HST bending. Right after training she looked stressed and droopy, while she is now standing up again and pushing healthy new growth. I’ll give her time to recover before any further work and wait for roughly 2–3 new nodes on the fresh shoots before deciding when to flip.
