Light Saber Bag Seed Grow

Light Saber Notes Week 5 10/30 – midweek check in I’m blown away by Light Saber’s growth the last few days, she looks like a completely different plant now with the crazy number of new bud sites coming in. I’ve been checking on her twice a day to rotate under the light or do small adjustments to the wires as she grows out. The branches are getting super thick and sturdy too. One note though – I’m seeing a couple roots poking out from the bottom of the five-gallon bucket she’s been chilling in. I’m wondering if that means I’m kind of forced to send her to flower soon or risk her getting rootbound. 11/01 I think what I’ll do is repot Light Saber in a 7-gallon fabric pot and give it another 2-3 weeks to veg before flipping to 12/12 light schedule for flower. I’ve seriously procrastinated on sending the test samples to find out the gender, but I’ll make sure to get it done tomorrow. I guess either way I’ll commit to flower, but whether Light Saber ends up male or female will affect how and where I set up my grow space to accommodate this next phase. Evening Update: I went ahead and took the time to really get Light Saber spread out and tied down for maximum light exposure to the bud sites. I ended up using a lot more wires this time now that there are more branches and bud sites to manipulate, and made sure to tuck some of the fan leaves as well. I’m pretty happy with the job actually, I may be starting to get the hang of this which is super dope. I want to replant Light Saber in a 7 gallon fabric pot over the next day or two to avoid letting her get root-bound, which unfortunately means I’ll have to redo the LST setup I just did lol. 11/02 Fuuuuuuudge. I messed up again – big time. Just finished repotting Light Saber from a five gallon plastic container to a seven gallon fabric pot, and in the process managed to let the dirt fall apart and rip the roots in a major way. I’m so sad lol. What a bummer man, I’m honestly not sure Light Saber can survive this one. I finished the job and got Light Saber in the new pot with some fresh dirt and a watering before leaving her in the tent. This is definitely going to shock her badly at the very least and make the next week really uncomfortable while I watch and try to figure out if she’s dying or able to push through the shock. Light Saber was doing so well too; I’d even call her the one with the most potential out of the strains I’m growing. If she pulls through then all I can say is how grateful I am that Light Saber is a photoperiod lol, because this next round of root shock I’ve managed to inflict is probably going to push back my plans to flower by another week or two – if this hasn’t permanently stunted her growth, anyways. 11/03 So far so good, at least for now lol. I’m not seeing leaves drooping or spotting that didn’t already exist on some of the leaves after the root shock a few weeks ago. No browning or turning crispy, though I guess it could just be too soon to tell for some of this stuff. Light Saber has been such a fun one to work with so far that I’ll definitely be bummed if she isn’t able to survive my latest shenanigans. This next week will probably let me know one way or another lol. If you happen to read these notes, I just want to mention the pictures in this week’s entry; I didn’t want to be lifting Light Saber up and down so I just took the end of week pictures under the LED. She’s looking a little scraggly, and between the incredible growth coming in from the LST this last week and me trying to make the growth a little more obvious with some fan leaf tucking, she looks a little rough lol.
