I (pre-moistened) worked in 2.5 gallons of de-chlorinated tap water, with my fingers into this high-porosity soilless growing medium. This variant is very dry, and seems to reject water, until moistened(3cu ft compressed, Agro a5-hp from local nursery). Even after the 2.5 gallons of water was worked in (with no runoff), there was still a dry patch at the bottom of the pot.. I figured it would start to absorb from the wet medium on top, over time. It is now Day 10, and the moistened medium never needed to be watered since day 1. The medium is almost dry enough to be watered (see final picture). Maybe one or two more days. I will poke/scratch the soil daily, to ensure that I wait long enough, to not over-water.

Watered with 3 solo cups of de-chlorinated tap water on day 11. I think she could have used more light (partially shaded from the Wedding Cheesecake) I think she could have been fed nutrients with the water at day 11. She's a little bit thin, compared to what I usually see at this age.

Watered with 1 gallon of the above listed nutrients! 95% dry, and ready for another dose in 5-7 days! I removed both branches, in the second node position on the trunk, and LST'd her down in the direction of the removed-downward-node. She has 5 remaining nodes, that will be trained out, away from each-other. All nodes are receiving equal, full light.

Day 25 - Lolipopped off two nodes from the main stem Day 29 - Lolipopped 10 nodes off from the plant. (Two from the main stem, and the rest off from the other 4 nodes!) She has been maintained, to only bear 5 nodes total! Watered with 1 gallon of the above listed nutrients, every 5-6 days!

Is this considered Main-lining? She was lolipopped, so that the main 5 nodes, are the only nodes! LST pins were adjusted, to provide spacing between nodes. She was given some strict defoliation! I pretty much fully stripped her! Day 35 - oooh yeah - i'm happy that she's happy! Watered with 1 gallon of the above listed nutrients, every 5-6 days (Ready for another dose, when the growing medium becomes 95% dry).

Tucked, and selectively de-leafed a few culprit leaves; they were blocking the main nodes! Watered with 1 gallon of the above listed nutrients, every 5-6 days.

Watered/fed with 1 gallon of de-chlorinated tap water, mixed with the above listed nutrients, every 3 days! (Always waiting for the soil to become 95% dry, before watering again.) Also placed a 9" tall pale under the plant, to lift her up into the high intensity zone of the light, for flower! (about 24" away from the sf4000(dimmed to 333watts))

It's good to try new things.. But sometimes the signs that "what was being done before, was way better" becomes clear! -At the start of this week, she was watered with 2.5 gallons of de-chlorinated tap water, with PHup to 7.5. (no nutrients) - To counter Low-ph-runoff, and because there is likely nutrients in the soil... I will no longer pay attention to run-off PH. I will simply input at the correct PH, as I have been doing in the past. Watered with 1 gallon of the above listed nutrients, and defoliated. Please always feel free to ask me anything! I respond to every direct message on Growdiaries, and as well as on Instagram.. Don't be shy :)

Watered with 2.5 gallons of the above listed nutrients - dry in 6 days, ready for another dosage! Very Frosty! Very Smelly! Kinda-Happy-Kinda-Grumpy! :D She's gonna be just fine! ;)

Watered with 1 gallon of the above listed nutrients - dry in 3 days, ready for another dosage! Very Frosty! Very Smelly! Kinda-Happy-Kinda-Grumpy! :D She's just fine!

Flushed with 40 gallons of water. - should be dry in 5-7 days. One week to go until harvest. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... frosty!

Started LST on day 21, and lolipopped her to be mainlined to 5 nodes! Grew very nicely! Tried watering her with just plain water one time mid flower... She likes food, to say the least ;)
