Plan:
Vegetate in the 1.5 gallon bucket until the sixth node, then top it at the 4th node. Then each new branch gets FIM'ed at the 4th node. No mainlining, just LST all new branches.
After 3-4 weeks, move into the 5 gallon smart pot. Keep up the LST until the 8th week, or until I'm happy with the spread. Once satisfied, flower out until matured.
There is a possibility I might move this into the basement to flower, but that's if I decide to start a perpetual grow with photoperiods.
10/9/20:
Power Africa is showing a little root, perhaps tomorrow it will be ready for planting.
11/9/20:
Power Africa is ready for soil, but I'm too lazy to get dirt ready today, so that will be my morning task.
12/9/20:
Planted the Power Africa into its first home. 4-5 weeks in this bucket, and then moved into a 5 gallon smart pot. 3 more weeks of vegetative growth, and a lot of training, then it's fine for flowering. That should bring it to November, so a nice cool temperature to bring out any purples.
13/9/20:
Watered everyone under the Vivosun, as there should still be residual nutrients left in the soil. Gave the Budroom their first dose of nutrients. Very early for the Power Africa, but I want to try something. The PK and Super Skunk are doing very well, so the growth over the next few days will be monitored very closely.
14/9/20:
All plants in the Budroom took the dose of nutrients well, even the very young Power Africa. The PK is just about to spread it's growth over the sides of the cup, tips are already there. Super Skunk is much larger, quite a noticeable amount. I might keep both the Super Skunk Auto and the Power Africa Fast up in the Budroom, and that will allow me to have more options to go in the perpetual tent downstairs. I am toying with the idea of getting another tent to put out in the garage. It will be for drying the outdoor harvest, and then be used to grow in the winter. I would use it as a place to either hold a mother, or simply grow one massive plant by itself. The tent will be purchased regardless for drying, it's just the growing portion that is not finalized yet.
15/9/20:
Watered the Sweet Cheese and White Widow, but no nutrients. All the photos seem be doing well, on their transition to flowering, even though it's only been a week. I did not give them a 24 hour period of darkness to jump start it, but I think the shock of seeing some dark for the first time after 2 months was enough of a kickstart on it's own. The stretch is noticeable, as is the growth of a lot more pistils. I have plenty of room for them to stretch, so I'm not worried about that at all.
