Dynamite Deluxe Round Two

ohcibi Hard first week. Growth is very slow. I guess it’s because of me overwatering the plant in the beginning. I’m now letting it dry out a bit to see if it recovers. The leaves look healthy though. So fingers double-u'd for it to come back.

ohcibi After a tough start, the plant seems to have recovered. Several roots are peeking out the bottom of the pot, and the plant is getting bigger every day. Usually I'd have repotted by now, but this time I let it sit a bit longer due to the overwatering in the beginning. I will repot during the next week though. I'll go with a 25 liter pot since it's only one plant this time. Stay tuned.

ohcibi Did the repot this week and it looks like the plant took it well. I’m still not really satisfied with the growth rate but at least I can see daily progress by now. Also the water uptake seems to stabilize. I hope for some explosive growth within the next few weeks. Additionally to repotting I also topped the plant and defoliated the one finger nodes.

ohcibi I started to train the plant by using u-wire pieces and bending down the side branches. Looks like the plant responds well to it. I’m still not 100% happy about the size but the pace of progress feels alright. I noticed that the side branches differ a lot in size. I hope that this won’t matter too much. But again, progress wise it’s fine. I almost reached the walls of the pot which is a lot larger than those in my previous grows. So it feels ok. The water uptake in that pot seems to work properly. I increased the watering from 3 to 4.5 liters and I’ll try 6 liters next watering. Next week will be more training and hopefully some bigger leaves.

ohcibi Another week done. The plant is now touching the walls on 3 out of 4 sides. One side branch is still strangely short. The plant isn’t very symmetrical in general though. I will let it grow for another week and then start the flower. Size is still an issue, however I’m now at a point where the plant certainly covers a larger area than previous plants. So maybe my bad feeling about the size is just about how the plant looks like in its bigger pot. I still decided not to do any further toppings to keep the stress low. Let’s just hope for the best and stay tuned.
