Sept 7 - 35 - Upped nutes a little to see how she handles it - 1 gallon 801ppm 6.26ph, runoff 487PPM 6.22PH. Defoliate + top again tomorrow, it needs defoliated badly. My friskars broke one blade when i was trimming my carolina reaper plant so i had to order another. Starting to notice a light smell in the tent now.
Still debating on when to flip, i have a feeling if i go 12 weeks i will regret it and she will get out of control even with trellis setup as i've heard this strain can stretch pretty bad. Also, will more than likely have root bound (5g pot) issues if i push 12 weeks even with a fabric pot.. Might go 8-10 weeks and set the net up soon to (hopefully) get it filled out a bit before flip so i still have room to tuck at least some of the stretch without much issue. If i go 8-10 i will top maybe 2 more times at max
Sept 8 - 36 - 1 gallon 6.34PH 805PPM, runoff 6.00PH 463PPM - defoliated all the lower interior trash and fan leafs blocking sites and topped about 8 times, probably went a bit overboard even though it might not look like it but whatever. Expecting her to hate me for the next few days.
Sept 9 - 37 - switching to 3 day feed 1 day off and added calmag - 6.36PH 1.15PPM, runoff 6.03PH 496PPM - she's handling the stress like a champ, really nice strain. Putting scrog net up in a day or two and removing lst rubber wires.
Sept 10 - 38 - Chill day, setup scrog later on tonight
Sept 11 - 39 - 6.63PH 1.31PPM, no runoff - medium was pretty dry after a day, Might need to go up to 1 1/2 to 2 gallons a feed since after the rest day 1 gallon never gives any runoff whatsoever anymore. Scrog net is pretty junk (china) but whatever i didn't feel like making one. Also gonna re calibrate PH pen soon. Really surprised i haven't ran into no crazy issues yet as my luck usually is not the greatest lol
Sept 12 - 40 - wasn't around all day, couldn't get anything done
Sept 13 - 41 - 2 gallons 6.79PH 1.12PPM, runoff 5.85PH 867PPM - some tips are a little burned but that's okay, runoff PH still steadily dropping and gonna drop the calmag this coming week. Don't think i'ma top anymore and will probably flip in 1-2 weeks as i don't wanna make things super hard for myself on first grow. To be honest she seems to of slowed growth a little to me, unless i'm just blind..heh, See you next week!
Das ist ja der helle Wahnsinn 😀 ,
ich bin ganz aus dem Häuschen und tief beeindruckt.
Was für eine herrliche Magie dieses Mädchen umgibt

Damn fine grow so far!! I grew out a moby a few months back and holy crap did she make tons of leaves. I defoil 15 leaves and she grew back 45 in defiance 😆. Glad to see another HLG grow get some love. I just put to qb288 rspec in my 4x2 and cant wait to finish. Great job and cant wait to read your harvest entry.
Great plant! Moby dick is a great strain too... maybe the best out there for effect. IMO.
You've left them to dry with leafs? tell me how that proceed...
@Psilocubensis, yes i left some leafs on because i was worried i could not keep humidity up during hang drying and they would dry out too fast so i left like 40% to help with that and make trimming a little easier when dry since wet trim is a pain for me. It all worked out in the end and she dried pretty slowly i could of went another 1-2 days hanging which i honestly should of did
Awesome grow, very informative!!!
1) Did you manage to eventually weigh your harvest?
2) I've seen people let their plants dry out (yellowish leaves) in the soil after the flowering stage is finished. Just before cutting it to dry.
Is this something you recommend, why (not) ?
