Knockout!!!

RdSkM Warm greetings, dear people. I recently got my hands on these seeds from Shaman Genetics, courtesy of a good friend, so this time I’ll venture into the world of photoperiod plants. Actually, there are 3 grows of the same strain, but I’ll only be tracking one pot, which we’ll simply call #1... So here’s my girl, already about 3 days after germination (24 hours in a paper towel and she was almost walking on her own), starting with very little water and in well-regulated amounts. In a few more days, she’ll get her first dose of Deep Underground. Wishing success for myself and thanks to those who are interested in my diary and my words.

RdSkM Greetings, fellow botanists. 🌱 On day 12, my Knockout looks phenomenal. A lovely deep green color and a very nice symmetry. I'm analyzing and evaluating whether to apply the Main Lining technique later on, considering that I will give them a long vegetative cycle (12 weeks for sure) before starting flowering. What do you all think? I welcome suggestions and advice.

RdSkM The days have passed and already orbiting the 3rd week, this KnockOut looks impressive and significantly larger than other strains I'm growing. I really want to make a Main Linning with her. So I can learn this technique and considering (as I said days ago) that I will give her a long vegetative time (about 12 weeks) before going to flowering. It starts with its first meals. Top Veg from Top Crop at minimum initial doses, administered with water at 6.2 pH. Thank you to those who pass through my diary.

RdSkM I decided and applied Main Lining to my splendid KnockOut. Cut above the 3rd node on day 21 and already on day 26 I put fasteners on their small arms developing. I will keep it that way for a few days until I gather firmness to get on with the next phase of this technique soon. Feeding on initial and low doses of Top Veg. Thank you for your interest. Peace.

RdSkM Hello again, folks. Here, expectant and patient with my KnockOut. By the end of week 5, my baby is still growing. She suffered a partial rupture in one of her main arms (I call it “prime”). I applied adhesive tape and everything seems to be going well, but this arm has shown a slight delay in its growth due to the fracture. The “Alpha” arm is remarkably more developed and has larger leaves. Now on day 35, I applied the second Apical pruning to start developing 2 new secondary branches. pH is between 6.3 and 6.5 these days, and she's being fed with Top Veg and Big One stimulator in mild doses.

RdSkM Greetings, you damn stoners. Now in the sixth week, the training is almost finished. I've decided to make only 4 arms and from now on I'll let it continue developing for about 6 more weeks before switching to flowering. The "prime" arm has almost normalized from the accidental break and is nearly matching the size of its "Alpha" counterpart. Everything is going according to plan and without any major news. I've done some small defoliations to ensure I give it the shape and appearance I'm looking for. It's a fascinating technique and I'm really happy with it. Growing parameters, check the table and the report. Peace

RdSkM Greetings, aliens. What can I say? My Main Lining project is going perfectly, and thanks to all the dedication, study, and application of the technique, I’m very happy to show all of you my progress. It has already taken its final shape. These days I put in some temporary stakes, a few more ties, and now it's just a matter of taking care of the rest. Peace.

RdSkM She speaks for herself. Look at her!...

RdSkM No problem applying the Main Lining technique. Nothing to report. The princess keeps growing and growing... I was aiming for 12 weeks of vegetation, but I might only reach 10 weeks due to a possible space issue (I have other undocumented plants in the same grow space).

RdSkM I've had little time and some issues preparing better photos. Now at day 60, I decided to change the photoperiod to 12/12. It grew too much and too fast. A slight tendency to stretch due to the height difference with other plants in my growing space made me move the light further away than I should have. I solved it by placing the pot higher (on top of other objects). Started feeding with Top Bloom. pH adjusted to 6.4.

RdSkM About a week ago, I changed the light cycle to 12/12 and after just 5 days, like magic, the first small flowers are starting to form. Now it gets more exciting. Big One and Top Bloom at a medium dose. pH adjusted to 6.4.

RdSkM Greetings aliens. Day 10 of flowering (light 12/12) and my 4 satellites are in perfect condition. Each branch is a completely different world from the other, putting on an incredible visual show. It continues to develop very healthily and with good flowers, still very small for now but soon they will be something impressive. The photos speak for themselves.

RdSkM Greetings. The days keep passing and my work of art continues its constant transformation. Many flowers have appeared that are gradually getting bigger day by day.

RdSkM Almost halfway through the flowering cycle. Looks amazing.

RdSkM Greetings. Exciting week with my wonderful Knockout. The fattening phase has started, and I've added moderate doses of Grotek Monster Bloom to its diet. The next day, it began to emit an exquisite but intense smell and has gradually fattened the flowers. You can really notice the difference with this product. I'm feeling very happy... That said, I have a slight bug infestation; I noticed it because some leaves have white spots like those caused by thrips. I'll take action as soon as possible.

RdSkM Hello. Day 40 with a 12/12 photoperiod It stopped growing definitively days ago. It's huge. Its 4 "main arms" grew and developed much better than I expected (first time using the Main Lining technique). Really happy. Now its beautiful and large flowers are fattening up and becoming heavier and denser. I have a small thrip infestation that has damaged some leaves, but since it's almost time for the flowers to mature, it's not a good idea to apply pesticides. I've just been cutting and removing some older and damaged leaves. I added Top Candy to the feeding.

RdSkM Countdown!!!... My Knockout has 4 huge arms full of big, fat flowers. The subsequent waterings will mainly be root flushing and about 10 more days (approx) until harvest. Very happy with this process.

RdSkM It's been over a week. I was short on time and without internet. This would practically be week 19. I had them in complete darkness for the last 48 hours and then I removed all the leaves and got ready to harvest. Tons of production from just one plant.

RdSkM I've had several grows, and in all of them, I had different results, with this one being the most satisfying. It clearly influences that they are photoperiod-dependent plants, and I gave them a long vegetative growth cycle (it was 10, almost 11 weeks).
