Light Saber Bag Seed Grow

Light Saber Week 6 Notes 11/04 Light Saber still doing alright as far as I can tell – not getting crispy, drooping, yellowing or spots. Dirt is still damp, so won’t water today and potentially tomorrow. Still holding back from LST for today, but I’ll keep an eye on Light Saber and potentially put it in place in the next few days. My concern is that by exposing the budsites and doing the LST, all the growth hormones that should be working on rebuilding the roots might slow or stop to redirect to the bud sites, thus resulting in a weaker and less healthy plant down the line. From what I’ve researched it seems like LST should be fine as long as I’m careful not to put too much strain on the stem, but I’ll still hold off another day or two to be on the safe side while I look into it some more. 11/05 Went ahead and put the LST in place with some garden wire, but it definitely took a while with how many new bud sites have popped up. I don’t want to count my chickens before they hatch, but if Light Saber is actually able to make it through then she might be a really awesome yielder. The dirt is still damp, so holding off on watering for probably another two or three days. Evening Update: Noticing some yellowing and areas of the leaves with a white-fade to them, pretty consistent with side effects of root damage from what I’ve researched. The effects aren’t coming in quite as fast as I thought they would though; I’ve heard of some people seeing a completely shrivelled plant the next morning. So far all the new and newer growth is till solid and looking healthy, it’s just the older fan leaves that are showing signs of distress – and even that is more contained than I could have hoped for. We’ll just have to wait and see I guess, lol. 11/06 – midweek check in I’m seeing some sign of growth in the branches and the younger leaves are still looking good, but the fan leaves are continuing to show more yellowing at a slow fade. Even though it’s continuing, the rate that it’s happening is still slow enough that I have hope Light Saber will pull through. I made a few adjustments to the wiring to spread out the fan leaves some more so Light Saber can have the chance to absorb as much as possible right now. The dirt is still damp enough that I’m a tad worried about root rot setting in, so I’ll try to keep an eye out for that as well. 11/07 I’m still seeing continued yellowing in the older fan leaves, while the newer growth still seems untouched for now. I debated taking off the yellowing leaves but they happen to be the largest on the plant too. As far as I understand it, Light Saber is able to absorb most of her energy from the light that way so taking them off doesn’t seem like a good idea yet, even if it makes her look sickly. I’ll water her tomorrow, but for today I just adjusted a few leaves to increase air flow through the canopy and redirected an extra fan into the tent. There was a noticeable reduction in dirt moisture today, but it’s still a hair damp. I really want to avoid root rot in the areas I damaged, so I don’t want to water too soon. 11/09 Didn’t do anything with Light Saber except rotate under the light and comb through the jungle like, tangled mess that’s been the canopy the last few days. Also watered yesterday with water and cal/mag. I ended up taking out a few mid-sized leaves that looked like they weren’t getting a chance at light anyways, and it really freed up spaced to get the branches spread out and all the new growth in contact with light. Since Light Saber responds almost too well to LST, I decided against bending down the main cola for now. Every time I do bend it down, the new growth comes in explosively and it’s definitely getting tougher to control. I may have to flip to flower sooner than I thought, if the growth so far has been any indication then the flower stretch is going to be impressive and possibly problematic. Not that I can be that mad though – having my weed plant get unexpectedly large is not too terrible a problem to have in the grand scheme of things lol. 11/10 – End of Week The work I put in yesterday seems to be paying off already; Light Saber looks like she’s doing awesome and growing out nicely. I’m a lot happier with the increased airflow through the canopy right now with how tightly clustered the growth is. Also pleased to report that she seems to be drinking faster now and will probably need a watering in two, maybe three days.
