First Run on Blue Dream

This has been a pivotal week. Jody continued to grow out (about 12 inches in diameter) and not up (never above 6 inches - full tuna can), showing that she is a fantastic candidate for a manifold. She grew seven healthy nodes, so I cut her to the third node and made clones from the cuttings. I gave her two days to recover, then I shaved everything below the third node and tied down the two stems. Gave her another day to recover and then took out the second node from each stem. She's thriving. The clones are not doing so hot, but I just removed them from the grow tent after seeing a good deal of yellowing leaves. This is my first time trying the manifold/mainlining training technique and so far the plant is responding very well to it. Just keeping my fingers crossed that the clones don't die!
