Starting indoors for an outdoor grow in a three gallon Rhizopot. Fifth week of vegging inside my 2x2x4 tent underneath an SF-1000, alongside my growing autoflowers. I FIMed her a total of eight times (I like experimenting!) and removed the first couple of nodes of growth to encourage more top buds. I'll be moving her outside around May 14th.
I've premixed Gaia Green Power Bloom into the bottom gallon of Root Farm Hydro Potting Mix, at a rate of 3 tbps per gallon, along with a 1/4 tsp of NPK Bloom Microbes. The middle gallon of soil is premixed with 1 1/2 tbsp Gaia Green All Purpose and 1 1/2 tbsp Gaia Green Power Bloom. The top gallon of soil has 3 tbsp of Gaia Green All Purpose and a sprinkle of Epsom salts for magnesium mixed into the soil. I've been adding FloraBlend, a vegan plant booster from GH, to my water to help give the plant a bit more vitality as it starts off.
At the beginning of week five (today), I top dressed the soil with 1 1/2 tbsp of GG All Purpose, mixing gently into the top layer of soil. I will top with another 1 1/2 tbsp right after placing outside. Recommended top dress is one tbsp per gallon medium, so I've halved it since I'm going to be doing it twice in the month. Gaia Green recommends top dressing monthly to replenish depleted nutrients, especially in a smaller pot like I am using.
I totally fell behind on updating this diary or tracking my progress!
But... here she is after another three weeks inside under the Spider Farmer, and about 2 weeks so far outside. South West Ontario, Canada grow, I put her outside on the Victoria Day weekend. The numerous FIMs and topping didn't work as well for an even canopy as soon as she got out in the sunlight. The two mains are reaching above the rest, for sure!
Beautiful plant, can't wait to see what happens. I'm tempted to upgrade to a bigger pot, but I've always loved small pot grows with my autos I've grown previously. I'm liking growing photoperiod plants so far.
Lately the weather is a bit strange and many plants are blooming before their time.
But don't worry, I'm sure you'll have a very sweet harvest :)
Sweet smokes,

@Sweet_Seeds, she's actually started flowering since you left this comment! I wonder if it was the stress from going inside to out, or just the auto genes? Either way, she isn't revegging either. I'm not disappointed, she was already big! (Edit - none of my other photo plants are even showing sex yet!)
