MyrceneDream -Seed put directly into solo cup containing Pro-Mix BX and seedling emerged from soil 3 days later -Once leaves reach the sides of the cup I will transplant into a 5 gallon fabric pot containing Pro-Mix HP -Planning to mainline with at least 8 tops and will be growing with Biobizz and Neptune’s Harvest nutrients as well as using compost teas sporadically

MyrceneDream -Growth has been slow off the start and I’m blaming my medium. Pro-Mix BX holds a lot of water and is great for later stages in an organic grow when the root system is more developed but seemingly not great here where I had dropped the seed directly in it. -Once the roots develop more and leaves reach the sides of the cup I will transplant into a five gallon pot. I have used Pro-Mix BX a few times and do like it’s water retention but I think I am done with it and will go back to the HP this time.

MyrceneDream -After 2 1/2 weeks of slow and stunted growth I decided to loosen my soil and transplant into a 5 gallon fabric pot containing Pro-Mix HP which has better drainage capabilities and less water retention than BX. After 1 day I am already starting to see a difference and leaves are recovering from the water retention as well. Pretty odd because I have never had this problem with BX before -Noticed a bit of yellowing already on lower leaves too as Pro-Mix does not contain anything I added a small bit of Biobizz Grow and some calcium/magnesium

MyrceneDream -A noticeable difference when transplanting to the 5 gallon pot. Plant seems much happier and growth is slowly starting to pick up. Hopefully I will be able to top it next week sometime -Started adding some Neptune’s Harvest fish and seaweed mix fertilizer along with the Biobizz Bio-Grow

MyrceneDream -After she finally picked up in growth I topped and removed everything below -Comparing with pictures of other grows I estimate it is almost 2 weeks off schedule from the issues I experienced with stunting in the beginning. -Once main stems grow longer I will begin tying them down to prepare for manifolding

MyrceneDream -Growth is going well and everything is looking healthy but it’s pretty apparent now that this girl is a runt. In hindsight I should have taken the signs and grown it out naturally without any mainlining. -Started holding down main stems with plant ties to keep canopy even and lightly defoliating every few days -Will veg for another 2-3 weeks before flipping

MyrceneDream -Growth going well and everything looking healthy -Taking well to training and bending -Lightly defoliating large leaves -Will start transition to flower in a few days

MyrceneDream -Starting to show a few pistils but still staying pretty small -Started adding Biobizz Bio-Bloom and stopped Neptune’s Harvest Fish & Seaweed mix. Continuing with Bio-Grow and CaMg

MyrceneDream -Starting to slowly flower with a little bit of stretch happening but it’s mainly staying small and bushy -Added a bit of Marphyl Marine Phytoplankton to the mix

MyrceneDream -Growth going great and flowers forming nicely -Ready to remove some lower growth that won’t get enough light to flourish

MyrceneDream -Got a bit taller and is growing great and forming some nice buds -Cut down on Bio-Grow and am adding more Bio-Bloom

MyrceneDream -Fattening up nicely and almost time to start a bit of a flush in a week or so

MyrceneDream -Flowers bulking up and leaves starting to get a fade -Will start feeding just pure water with a touch of calcium/magnesium soon

MyrceneDream -Buds fattening up nicely and leaves starting to fade more -Getting some really nice trichome production -Only added a bit of calcium/magnesium to water this week

MyrceneDream -Looking mature and trichomes are cloudy -Gave one last watering on day 5 of this week -Will harvest within a few days after 48 hours of darkness

MyrceneDream -Growth started off slow and it was apparent after a few weeks of life that I should have grown it out naturally without any mainlining or even topping it. -Even though in hindsight I wish I had grown it naturally it did take very well to mainlining, had strong stems and no stem splits during training, and always bounced back quick from any defoliation. -Had a minimal stretch during flower but nodes stayed very close together resulting in some nice chunky flowers
