FIRST ENTRY: As you can see from the photos, LST is underway on all four plants with leaf tucking to allow light to bathe the lower branches and hopefully break apical dominance. They don't seem to be at all stunted or bothered by the training even though I'm being more aggressive with these than I have other plants in the past. Mephisto delivers some excellent genetics as usual.
VPD is currently dialed in beautifully at 1.0 kPa (RH=~60%, Ambient Temp=75F, Leaf Temp=73F).
SECOND ENTRY: Continue lateral training. Light watering of .25gal with Real Grower's Recharge as I didnt have time to do a full watering tonight.
THIRD ENTRY: Really happy with the way the LST is paying off. They bounce back without issue each time I adjust and tie down. Very healthy genetic. I'm also very impressed with the uniformity of the phenotypes. Increased light intensity slightly. I need to put a meter on it this weekend when I have some time and see what the current draw is.
FOURTH ENTRY: Flat canopy has pretty much been established at this point. All side branches are equally vying for their chance at some time in the sun and I'm continuing to tie down and leaf tuck where needed to keep this paradigm going. It's been a great week for growth so far.

I’m in week 7 on my Forum Stomper. Ffof soil and been giving it Photo plus. Tried Nectar for the Gods mid grow when sample showed up and she hated it. Beings I’m in 2nd week of flower what if any nutes you suggest aside from the Photo plus?
@Jefrogro, I struggled to dial in nutes on this one so I may not be the right person to ask. I feel my issues were mostly a result of my decision to use what I had left of my coco nutrients (a mistake that I knew better than to make) instead of purchasing new stuff for my first soil attempt. All I can say is watch your pH levels on your inflow AND outflow and ensure you are giving her enough K to keep her happy. I mistook my K deficiency for a Mg issue and lost precious time that made a difference in the end result. If I had it to do over, I probably would have just run the FF trio (veg, big bud, tiger bloom) at 1/3 recommended strength and called it a day.
it's very interesting to watch your diary. I wish you a huge harvest of buds.
What do you prefer to use a Bong or a joint. 4-20 Bro.
subscribed and watching your grow.👍
@EZgrower, Thanks for following! I am a die hard fan of my VaporBrothers hands-free desktop vaporizer. I honestly haven't smoked any of my harvests to date! IMHO, the flavor is just too tasty with vaping to go any other way!! Cheers!
@Scipio69, Thanks for checking out my grow log! This is my first soil run and I decided to go with Fox Farm Happy Frog. A single 2cu foot bag mixed with 8qt of perlite filled out my four 5 gallon pots nicely.
