Double Grape Auto - Mephisto Genetics

Day 22: Managed the LST a bit more and really focused on tying down the off shoots of the main stem so as to open the canopy as much as possible. Her fan leaves are huge! I will probably wait another week to start nutes because last time I was seeing a minor N tox in my plant. I think that was because I had started nutes on week 4 and the Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil still had some nutes left in it. Day 24: Still can't believe how easy and quickly this plant is growing. I've simply been watering when needed, increasing the amount of water each time. My last watering was last night which I gave her a full liter of PH'd tap water. It's also crazy how much leaf tucking can do for your plants in parallel with LST. I'm seeing more pistils pop up everywhere now too, very anxious to see how big she gets! Some of her fan leaves are bigger than my hand! Day 26: Ok so I just had a heart attack. I was adjusting the LST and ended up snapping the main stem. Luckily, it didn't fully detach and is hanging on by a thread. I was able to wrap some duct tape around the break and support it upright while it hopefully heals. Lesson learned I guess, be gentle with your plants. I will update in a few weeks to see how its recovered, but I plan to keep the duct tape on for the rest of the grow just to be safe. REALLY hoping this doesn't affect final yield. Day 27: I think we're going to be okay. The growth above the break on the main stem is drooping but I have faith. The rest of the plant seems to not even know what's going on because its starting to form its final canopy shape with the help of LST. Today I added a bunch of new pipe cleaners to pull the canopy apart (carefully, this time) and there will be plenty of tops even if the break doesn't heal. Day 28: As you can see from my picture, the rest of the plant is growing just fine. Tops are starting to stretch up and continue to grow.
