Hey All, here's my new diary, I will germinate my last Green Gelato from RQS and grow it with a FIM and a LST. This diary is a try for the next session, I want tto have some pratice before to execute this method on several plants. I will use 2L gronest pot, with their aquabreath fabric, I actually use a 11l gronest for my actual diary, so I know that these pots are really good. As usually, the seed will be placed in an easy start by RQS. I hope the seed will sprout. I don't really know if the germination date I can put is the date of the beggining or when the seed is germinate and can be transplanted. 22/12/20. The seed's spouted!!! she will be planted in a little pot the while she develop the cotyledons, then she will be transplanted in the 2L pot.

25/12/20 Hey all, Merry christmas!!! :D . The plant was transplanted in this little pot, just a few days, during which the first node will be developed. the 2l pot is ready to welcome the plant for this moment. The set-up is a little bit weird. I've taken 2 little cardboard boxes to be on the right distance from the light. I think I could harvest the tallest plant soon, so I will down the light very soon. I placed the plant on a place where the light could go easily. I don't put nutes yet of course, just bottled water to be sure to bring only good things to her. 28/12/20, mid week. I transplanted it on the 2L pot. she's okay, she's healthy and she grew pretty well. Today I will try to water it with very few nutrients and some roots stimulant. She find her place between the 3 other one. I put some easy boost from RQS in the soil, but a very few.

week 2, 30/12/20. Hey all, 2nd week so. she grow pretty well, at a normal speed (I feared to get a slow pheno). The first true node will be developed in 3-4 days. I began to give her a very few nutes with roots stimulant, as expected. It's very funny to see this little plant growing in the middle of big girls flowering. I water 0.25l of water every time I see the soil is dried. 01/01/2021. Hey everyone, happy new year!!!! I cut 2 of my Green Gelatos today so I take the time to check my little experience too. She develop her first true node pretty quickly, it's very good. I give her few nutes and she seems to like that. 04/01/2021. Hey!! a new updates of this lil' experience. She grow pretty fast, I gave her nutes and roots stimulant and she like it! The 2nd node is growing, I will FIM on the 3d node.

Hey everyone, 3d week, 06/01/2021. The plant grow quickly, thanks to the roots stimulant I guess, I'm happy. The 3d node is growing, I will FIM it tomorrow or after tomorrow, because I want the apex a little bit bigger. I will apply a LST in the same time with gardening cable. So the most interesting part arriving very soon. 08/01/2021. I FIM, I checke the apex this afternoon and it was ready for a cut, I'm glad that I could do this a the good time. I will prepare my LST, I don't do it today, the stem are really too short. I can't wait to see her survive with this stress, and create 4 more branches. And I also cut the 2 first leaves. 10/01/2021. the FIM is a success!!! This morning I search some diaries with fimming and lst like me to see when the 4 branches appears, then I checked on my plant and they are!!! I'm really happy! We can see the new branches on the 2nd pics, just below the apex cut there is a little branch. I wait the 2 others that the FIM must create. Tomorrow I will start the LST. 11/01/2021. Good morning y'all, this morning I prepared my LST. I use some gardening cable planted in the soil to bend the branches, and I put some paper clip on the round of the pot, very usefull when the plant's bigger . I also watered this morning. this morning I noticed 2 new branches, between the apex and the cut branches of the apex. I have now 4 new stem thanks to this FIMing, really happy :D . I would like to say that I don't do all of this without a little bit of knowledge. I ask a lots of questions to few growers and I want to thank them (they will recognize themselves). End of the week, 12/01/2021. I make lots of update this week, but it's an important week. I never tried these techniques and I'm pretty happy that it's worked. Now I'm waiting for the flowering stage, I will continu this LST for a while, and will see the results. Actually I can say that these techniques are really easy to execute, so I could say that I want to use them for the next session(s).

4th week, 13/01/2021. Hi! A new week after the begging of the experience. I continu to manage the LST, it work very well. The plant recovered the speed of growth she had before the FIM, it's really good. I think I will defoliate this week. 16/01/2021. Hey everyone! Today I made a little update for my LST. The gardening cable nin the soil wasn't enough, so I use the paper clip I put all around the pot. The paper clips are pretty usefull thanks to the 2 hold on each clip. I also climb on the plant and I bent a new internode. I wait few days again and I will bend 2 new branches. I also cut 2 pairs of big leaves which were hidding light to colas below. I finally build a stand for my grow box. I've had enough to work on my knees, now the plants are on my level and I can work standing. 19/01/2021 End of the week. Hey all, the plants grow fast, it's really good, I managed the LST today, check and ajust, nad I add 2 branches on the LST, I have paper clips all around the pot .

5th WEEK, 20/01/2021. Hey all !! We start a new week, I believe it will be a change week of change, because I think she will start her pre-flowering stage very soon. I updated the LST again today, to get some straight branches until the flowering stage. I also cut all the leaves growing on the bottom of the plant. I really love this strain, she's pretty responsive to the LST and the FIM. It's a real pleasure to manage the LST. 23/01/2021, mid week. Hello! My little experience works pretty well, the LST was just a bite too hard on a branch and it broke, but she's okay. The part broken was just like I topped this branch, there was 2 little colas behind and I bent them. She grow quickly, we can see on the pics that the pistils start to appears, but I keep waiting to give preflo nutes. I updated the LST again today, But I think that was the last time, I want to get the calixes straight toward the light now. 25/01/2021, end of the week. Hello! I stop the LST since 3 days, the calixes starts to grow toward the light. The plant grow fast, I put 1 liter for 2 days now. The preflo stage is on, she developed all her pistils really really fast, slow-mo pistils explosion ^^. I can't wait to see her full of buds.

27/01/2021, 6th week, 1st week of flowering. Hey everyone, ne week starting, with flowering !! I can't wait to see the results of the techniques I use Actually, I keep the LST but I don't update it, I want that the buds go upward. I put the proflo nutes dose with 1 liter of water every 2 days. 30/01/2021. Hey, new update! the plant grow fast, she create very nice colax, it's beautiful, I checked the light footprint, it's pretty good, I could have done it better, but it was my first time, and it's not bad at all. It's a real pleasure to see the buds going straight up. The LST worked pretty well, and the 2L gronest pot seems pretty efficient, I really enjoy it. I think I will give her the flowering dose of nutrients in 2 days, for the next watering. 01/02/2021. Yo everyone, pretty good week (and weed 😍). She develops very nice colas. I hope she will give nice buds. Today I gave her the first flowering nutes doses (updated in the diary's datas). She grew so fast !! I'm impressed ^^. I realize that the LST could be better, like to avoid to align 2 stem one aboce the other. But it's my first time, and the light footprint isn't that bad. I carry on the defoliation. I often remove some leaves on the bottom, which ones block the light.

7th week, 03/02/2021, beginning of the week, . Hello all! A new week begins. the plant starts to lightly smell, and I love this fragrance. She flowers really well, she's very healthy. I will carry on the defoliation this week to manage the light footprint. 05/02/2021. Hey everyone, firstly I wanted to correct a mistake, last Wednesday, on the frist day of the week I wrote Monday, I was fucking high so I don't know why I did it 😅. So, the plant is okay, really healthy. She blooms quickly, every day I see the buds bigger and bigger, it's very nice. The first trichomes arrive. I gave her bloom nutes doses since 5 days and she like it. Today I defoliated the bottom part, to free some light. This strain is really good for LST and other soft techniques, it was the first time I did it but I was confident with this strain. 07/02/2021, mid week. hello everyone. This experience is pretty good, The flowering is not finished of course, but I really like how this plant grow and bloom. This week is awesome, the plants change every day, it's so nice. 09/02/2021 Hey! It's the end of a pretty productive week. The bloom exploded this week, it's really cool to see this. I wonder to what extent the buds will get big. I think I must buy some calmag for the next session, I want that the plant fully enjoy the light, and I read that it can help for.

8th week, 11/02/2021. Hey everyone, 8th week. I haven't lots of things to say, it's pretty calm. The plant's blooming slowly but surely. The LST made the job, but I could have managed better it, so this session is an excellent lesson for me, I learned a lot. 13/02/2021. Hi everybody. Not too much to say today. The bloom's allright. I think I will not have a big yield, but I will see. I wantt to see. For the next session, I tried to choose some strain with bigger buds from RQS. 16/01/2021; Hello! The end of the week! it was a calm week, but productive. The buds have grown this week. I guess they will stay little, but on the last session, the buds was not very big. I want to try it with an indica plant to see how the buds could be big.

20/02/2021, mid week. Hey everybody, I wasn't home so I couldn't create this new week. But I'm home! I was a lil' surprised when I saw her today. She didn't made big buds, but I expected that with this sativa (in my last session, the buds wasn't very big), but it wasn't the goal. I'm pretty happy to see the results on this plant, I learned a lot about LST and FIMing. 22/02/2021. Hey, everything is allright! the flowering start to look like something good. The pistils starts to burnish.

26/02/2021 Hey everyone, I'm really busy actually so I haven't the time to update the diary when I would to do it. Beside this, the plant is healthy, she will be finished soon I gues. A big majority of pistils are brown now, so I guess I will keep her 1 week and cut. I received the new seeds for the next session. I will move for work so I will do only 2 plants. I wanted to do 4 plants but my family will care of my plants, and I don't want to give them too much of work. So I will grow just 2 plants by 2 plants. 01/03/2021. Hey everyone, really sorry, I don't post often this week. As I said last time I'm busy actually. Today, I noticed that a big parts of pistils are brown. It was prettu quick. I think I will cut soon.

04/03/2021, start of the week. Hello! So I think it's the last week, the leaves become more and more yellow, it's spring for her ^^ . I start to flush 2 days ago, and I will continue during this week. I will cut next wednesday. I can't wait to see the results of this little experience, I didn't expect a big yield, just a minimum. But when I look at these buds, maybe it will not be so bad. 09/03/2021, end of the last week. Hey all! Today's the last day. I flush all the week with clear water, I really want to know the dry weight. It was a good experiment and a nice training for these techniques. I launch a new session with 2 strain, the seeds sprouted yesterday, really cool. Thank you all for follwing this diary, it was so cool.

Hey everyone! So this experience is finished. It was really instructive and fun. I learned a lot, the LST was not perfect, and I think I needed some other nutes as silica and calmag. I think I will buy both this week for my new sessions. The final yield will be around 20G, it's not really big, but I have to carry on to make more. thanks for following this diary, and see you on the news one.

Hey hey hey, vraiment génial ce que tu fais là !! Je suis content que tu essaie ces techniques :-) c'est ce que j'ai fais également ce coup ci, mes plantes passent en floraison et commencent à s'étirer, j'ai des branches qui se transforment en tige principal, j'attache les branches pour les écarter comme toi autour du pot ;-) j'ai aussi essayé de les pencher en arrière quand elle faisait la taille de la tienne, cela à tiré les branches vers le haut et ensuite j'ai relâché le LST du tronc, la plante s'est redressé et ensuite j'ai pris ses branches et les ai étalé ;-) j'attends comme résultat une grosse couronne 👑 de Buds bien Gras et Collant ! Je te souhaite de beaux et gros résultat avec ces techniques, mais à mon avis 99% de chance que tu ne sois pas déçu et que tu adopte la méthode 😋😁 Growing Happiness

Nice.. I'm definately gonna have to give FIMming a try.. But I feel like I'm gonna "Fuck I Missed" the "Fuck I Missed" technique lolol.. And if that happens, can't the plant just keeping growing it's main top?? Just with the new growth trimmed a bit? Lol.. This makes me nervous but I really wanna give it a try.. I had a 3 branch mutation (triploid I believe?) And topped at 2nd node.. So instead of 4 tops, she had 6 tops! Grew that auto in a 9oz solo cup.. Only got about 15 grams but still very nice bud.. Still have some curing actually.. She was harvested on Halloween! BTW I love using those binder clips!!! Great for LST and also drying!!! Very handy.. Which reminds me, I need to hit up the dollar store and pick up a few more!!! Lol Hope you had a good New Year, growmie!
