Seedlings (12/17/2020) ----------------------------
Skipped a couple of days of pictures. Added 12/16/2020 and 12/17/2020
Only thing to note is how vigorous the growth of the Chempie is compared to the other strains, Braincake being the slowest so far to develop.
-------------------------------------------------------
Seedlings (12/18/2020) ----------------------------
Raised light a couple inches to compensate for plant height. Increased power on light to 50%
-------------------------------------------------------
Seedlings (12/19/2020-12/20/2020)--------------
Just added pictures of progress. Tomorrow I will water
-------------------------------------------------------
Seedlings (12/21/2020) ----------------------------
Watered today, noticed tiny winged insects moving / flying around. I am assuming they were Fungus Gnats.
Sprayed some neem oil on surface / around pots then went to store to find a more permanent solution.
Added Pot Elevators under each fabric pot.
Switched the Chempie / Gorilla Zkittles location in tent
Top Left: Gorilla Zkittlez
Bottom Left: Chempie
Provided slight stem support for the Chempie with soft bend wire.
Topped soil with Diatomaceous Earth (organic approved) - probably a bit more than what was needed...
3d Printed some sticky trap prongs and added 1 for each pot.

Added pic of 12/22/2020 to finish the week
Starting next weeks diary

Hey Man! Question on the chempie. I see you topped the main stem. Ripper seeds recommends FIMing this strain. So if I planned on FIMing the main top, will the main stem keep stretching? Or will it stop where I FIM? Just trying to get an idea of how tall itโll get.
@AccyStoner25, Hey there! I read the Ripper Seeds description recommending FIMing on the Chempie as well. This is my first grow in ~7 years so I can't speak from experience. But from what I read is that Topping/FIMing share similar goals. One of them being having the plant start growing laterally https://herbiesheadshop.com/blog/topping-vs-fimming
I am using Nebulaโs Manifold "Main-Lining" https://www.growweedeasy.com/manifold which uses the Topping technique.
Chempie is vigerous for sure, but with Topping or FIMing along with LST she(hopefully) is manageable.
