Lot's of sunshine for the first week. Planted her in a big 20l pot, learning from the "mistakes" of my northern light auto. She seems to be growing well.
D16: she's growing really well. Weather has been great the past few days and weeks. Sidebranches on the first three nodes are showing. She's looking vigorous and has a healthy shade of green. I'm thinking about planting her out in full soil one of these days, as summers in Belgium have proven to become sufficiently warm, sunny and dry over the past few years (sadly). Would that be a good idea? I have to say she's already in a 20l pot so I don't know how much it would benefit from going into open soil taking into account the possible stress on the roots the repotting would cause. Any thoughts? I'm starting LST tomorrow as well.
D21: started LST'ing at D17, and she's taking it very well. Side branches are already shooting up well.
D30: She's starting to grow really fast. It's quite difficult to apply good LST as the side of the pot is quite high, so I can't pull her sidebranches down as much as I'd like. She's started showing her first sex signs as well at D29. Next watering I'll give her another 30g of organic 6-3-3 granular fertiliser.
This lady started growing like crazy. She's become really bushy and quite tall, with side branches being mostly equally high all over the plant. Flowers starting to develop well, but smell stays on the weak side. I'm expecting her to slow down and eventually stop growing over the next couple of days. Nutrient-wise I used more or less the same schedule as for my Northern Light lady, only did I now give her phosphorous grains at D7 already:
* D7: 25g of organic granular phosphorus grains (bone meal) (6-16-0)
* D20: 25g organic granular fertilizer (6-3-3)
* D28: 35g organic granular fertilizer (6-3-3)
* D35: 30g organic granular phosphorous grains (bone meal) (6-16-0)
* D42: 20g of organic potassium grains (2-0-20)
I'm really curious about how much (if any) she's still going to grow in size and how the buds will develop over the following weeks. Next few days, will be very warm and sunny!
Main stem snapped (not entirely) while doing LST 5 days ago (week 7). Tried fixing it with tape, but leaves start looking droopy now. What should I do?
A little bit of droop is ok(well considering the situation) that is due to
the disrupted flow of water through the snapped portion of the branch. It takes time for the plant to mend damage like that. Expect a little bit of droop until it mends the wound and knuckles over. If u mist the branches foliage sunrise/sunset u can minimize the drooping well she heals. Just dont go overboard lmfao. Happy growing and stay lit fam.
I added some (20g) more organic potassium grains and watered with molasses last week. She's starting to have these purple-ish spots on her fan leaves, and on some sugar leaves and flowers as well. There's also very slight tip burn I think if you look closely. Could this be a potassium excess? It's also difficult what "damage" is being caused just by age (she's already in week 10) and what would be caused by a nutrient excess.

Hello Knert,
Looks like you got a slight nutrient burn there. Use Canna Flush to rehabilitate your soil and be a little more careful with the nutrient concentration next time.
Good luck with your project, I wish you all the best! 👽
