On to week number six for this gal. She has grown so well since we planted her. This was just a bag seed, but it has turned out to be a great plant, which is super resistant and has grown very strong for us, with the mainlining we have done. Today (Feb 26) She was topped for the final time, and now we will have 8 main colas growing from this plant. She has been growing rapidly so we expect that she will recover quickly from the topping and sprout up. This process has definitely taken some time, and now we would like to see some vertical growth, but we will be patient with this girl, as we want her to come out as nice as possible.
While training one of the nodes, it was too aggressive and tore the stem off a little bit. We quickly tied it back together and hoped that it would fuse itself together again and grow back, so we are hoping for the best, otherwise this plant will have 6 colas instead of 8, unless we decide to top again, and have 10.
Update: So the little stem that was half broken off, seems to have mended itself at the expense of the two fan leaves it had, but now it will hopefully grow new ones and then get big again like the other ones, which are absolutely thriving. right now the goal is to grow these girls nice and tall, with plenty of nodes along the way up
@mdubbs, thank you! that's exactly what i was going for and I'm glad that it sorta worked out! I agree, the extra time will be worth it in the end. Cant wait to see her grow more and then flower with 8 main colas!
