I noticed a thrip worm (but no visible damange yet), squished it and sprayed everyone down with insecticidal soap on Saturday. Stupid thrips - I'm never doing soil indoors again. It'll be annoying to try to spray the plants down in the new 5gal containers. I'm a bit shocked at the amount of root growth in just 2 weeks after being in the coco. I should be getting my RO system sometime today, which will be just in time, as they're going through more than a gallon per day now. Mixing nutes will be enough work, but at least I don't need to drive out somewhere, and have cash on hand, to get water. I also need to take some photos with the light off - they look lime green and nitrogen starved, while they're really quite healthy, if perhaps a bit dark green from the high nitrogen soil I couldn't get out of their root ball when I transitioned from soil to coco. In a day or two I should be able to take the final topping for the mainline plant. I'll likely start flowering in 2-3 weeks from now as I get the LST plants to spread out and fill their space better. Tuesday: Final (?) top of the mainlined plant. I have some rivets that I'm going to put in the fabric pots so I can get the areas of growth growing further apart from each other. Hopefully that happens later today/night. Thursday: The rivets I have are far too small to work in my pots. I've used safety pins for now, but I don't have that many. I'll need to buy a bunch+binder clips, as the bushier girls need some LST soon. Mainline will now start getting some separation and better directed growth.

A couple of things to try to get your plants to finish faster. Increase light distance and reduce light hours. If you've already got big buds on there you really just need them to ripen. Pumping them with light will just encourage more growth and foxtailing. It looks like you may have a variety of phenotypes, maybe not all will turn purple.

@indoorontario, I can't increase light distance for the plants that most need it; I have the light wire wrapped to the top center pole as close as I could manage. The front two plants are on 4" platforms, but the back two plants are partially using them for support; to remove them I'd have to use more yoyo's (which I do have) and spend the time before I could lower them. And they front two are already around 19" from the light which is in theory a reasonable distance. I could reduce intensity of the light. Moving from 290w to 260w would be about a 10% decrease, and might help with the foxtailing that all but one plant is doing. Also, this would help with some burn the back taller two are doing. Even better, it's a trivial amount of time to do. I don't know why I stubbornly avoided dimming the light seeing the taller plants burn a bit.

Really good journal, mainlining seems like the way to go. Good luck in harvest

My last grow is gdp but not make diary. I love this strain so much easy to grow fast great yield and response very well for topping. easy to clone and smell like mint+flower. My best pain killer from serious Herniated disc. I love this strain

Question. did you ever cover the top with more medium when the roots were showing? Iā€™m havig same thing where roots are showing from the stem and curious if I should just add more ?

@Green_Coffee, thank you ! Good luck on the rest of your grow !

@Colorado_cookies, It depends on how much space I've left at the top of the pot. Currently my pots are pretty full, so where I have roots showing, I've just been leaving it. Some of the loose coco/perlite on top gets shoved to the sides during watering, and I'll periodically move some back towards the center (which is primarily where the roots show), but there's not enough to settle, so it slowly gets pushed back out to the sides.

Ugh, I just typed a long rambling update, and it got eaten because I didn't confirm email address yet. Anyways, I'm planning to transpot this weekend. I haven't had time to work on making mini screens to test a scrog vs lst (I like screens attached to the pot (likely the elevator in this case) , to make moving/rotating plants possible, and moving them out of the tent allows the back to be worked with. I think that LST under a screen is much easier/faster not fighting with wires, but the intiial setup is a pain. And if the screen is made of too weak of materials it either doesn't last, or doesn't help train well enough. Mainlined plant seems to far behind the others that I will be amazed if she compares favorably to them in harvest. This might be a crap test, as I'd be ok with a few additional weeks of veg if the total harvest was at least on par with just LST/HST training, as they're more time intensive due to the number of branches.
