I'm doing this as a low maintenance grow. There will be a bit of training in the beginning but should pay of with less little work to do when I get to flowering stage. I'm also going to try and reduce the amount of work I need to do on the trim by having fewer main colas instead of load of little ones. I might end up with lower yeild but I'm not too worried about that. I'm going to try to mainline her gently by not taking off the leaves until I have to. This should hopefully reduce the amount of recovery needed. Soil: BioBizz Allmix + ecothrive Life-cycle organic soil amendment. Watered Daily.

Nothing to do so far. She looks like she's going to be really bushy. It might make spreading her out later a bit harder. I'm not in a rush so I'm not too worried about training taking longer.

She's looking strong enough to start training. I've topped her but kept the leaves. Probably going to leave her to recover this week before I top her again. I'm worried about the purple stems on the fan leaves. It looks a bit like the start of deficiency issues but it's a bit early for that. Hopefully it's just genetics. Side note: I've topped her a little taller than I usually would this will add a few more days of veg. However, it will give me extra room to work on the lower parts of the plant. Day 18: She's got some spotting in her leaves and she's not drinking much water. The soil might be a bit hot for her for the next couple of weeks. Hopefully she can survive on water for a while. At least she's still growing. Soil PH is 6.8 so I just need to wait it out. Day 20: Started some lst but I'm not going to push too hard since she's already stressed.

Rolling into week 4. She's no longer showing deficiency on the newer leaves. It a bit early to say but hopefully she's past the worst of it. The soil should cool off over time.

@LittleBigTrees, Thanks. I'm really looking forward to this one. It's going to be interesting going in blind.

Hi buddy, happy to see another fellow Mimosa EVO grower :D these are supposed to be great genetics :D Your plant is looking great btw. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but I thought that my dwc would make them grow faster in veg state and looking at your plant from week 2 or 3 they seem to be growing faster than mine. I'm gonna watch you close because I also want to do topping on them simson and start training them :). Keep up the great work cu

@Cremo, I'm going to try and fill the tent with just LST and topping but I haven't taken my scrog yet just in case. I prefer to let the whole plant dry but it's hard to get her out. Good luck with the new res :).

@DigiDom, you seem to know what you're doing ;) I'll try to top and lst with scrog to take advantage of the nice led panels I've got. Want to feel out the whole available space. Will have to figure out a way to lift all plants when it's time to get new water into the 2 70L res. But I've got an idea how to approach that ;)

@Cremo, Thanks :). In a DWC she should be a monster but you have to play the genetics lottery with seeds. Sometimes it's just luck. I'm going to need to be really gentle when training her by the looks of things. She bruises purple and her stems feel brittle. I just hope I don't break anything 😅.

Week 2 is looking really healthy👍 I've seen a few grows on here lately with perlite on the top, is that to stop bugs or retain water? It looks good 😁

@LittleBigTrees, yeah I tend to have problems with little flies if I don't put the layer on. It also just looks nice 😁

@vTv12, Thanks I'm a little worried about her at the moment but hopefully she'll grow out of her issues.
