After 3 days of sitting in a cup of water, the 3mm(1/8") tap root was placed into a jiffy plug.
Then, after 3 more days inside a jiffy plug, the seed popped!
This growing medium is extremely dry(agro-a5-hp), so I pre-moistened it (by working in with hands) with 2.5gallons of de-chlorinated tap water.
It's day 7 now, and the soilless is still wet, but starting to show signs of starting to dry. (3 more days likely)
Day 14 from seed - Topped, and Bottomed! Set for a 2main mainline!
Watered with 1 gallon of the above listed nutrients, on day 10 from seed. (became dry from the initial pre-moistening, on day 10 from seed.)
She topped herself on both mains! Now she's a 4 main plant... She looks to be transitioning to flower too.. not 100% sure though.
Watered with 1 gallon of the above listed nutrients every 5-6 days. (When the soil becomes 95% dry, she's then watered/fed again.)
Day 32 - Final LST session! also thinned out a few leaves that were blocking potential.
Day 35 - Light defoliation, to increase light, and airflow throughout the canopy!
Added the booster-seat to raise the plant into the flower-intensity-zone of the light.
Watered with 1 gallon of the above listed nutrients (Switched to Bloom). 95% Dry in 5 days -ready for the next dosage!
Messed up this/last weeks diary with off timing upload... woops
Lightly defoliated to promote airflow, and light throughout the canopy.
Watered with 1 gallon of the above listed nutrients - dry in 4-5 days
She's not too happy, but still happy enough?! The buds are coming in looking very potent!
Watered with 2.5 gallons of the above listed nutrients last week, this week she only received 1 gallon. (Dry in 4-6 days)
I topped her above the second node, week2. She then perfectly topped herself of either node(mutation), which became apparent around day 22!
I chose to NOT lollipop anything off, since she started flowering after week3.
Wow your training is inspiring. Growing the same, a first, a week behind you. Been dubious about topping autos as you see mixed recos on it. Looking forward to following and seeing progress. Thanks for the detailed grow.
The diary I need to see!! That's class mate.
I'm a new grower and was still not sure about topping.
I'm very excited for your grow and i will be following up.
Good luck mate!
@Jworjik, Thanks! A healthy plant barely notices a topping! If i choose to top, I will do it only once, between days 12-16 from seed. Feel free to ask me any/all questions! Happy growing!
