Leg OG Punch | Purple Quest Candidate #4

Yes, I had a long break and did not updated my diary for a long time, needed some time for myself... What happend during all this time? Well, A LOT :D Switched light schedule to 12/12 on day 71 (first day of week 11). DIARY FOCUS ON LADY #2 : -------------------------------- I started the diary with 2 plants. They are both totally fine, but I decided to document only the more promising one, Lady #2 :) I'll keep posting pictures of Lady #1, there is one pîcture of both plant together on current week diary. But every photo details, comments, everything will be relative to Lady #2 from now :) I'm not applying the same LST on Lady #1, so Lady #2 get more space. That's the big difference between both plants. Every branchs of Lady #2 are at same level, but center ones from Lady #1 are way smaller (less LST : Less light) FIRST OBSERVATIONS WITH SOIL : -------------------------------------- For this grow session, I actually germinated 3 seeds of Legendary OG Punch. I did 3 differents "soil mix", reusing old soil, and adding homemade compost. Well, homemade compost for Indoor grow : Never again !! One of the 3 seeds never germinated. I had a look at it : she been literally eaten by worms. Found the seed sheel with worm going out of it 😖 Lady #2 was the only plant that had only brand new soil (biobizz - allmix), and it gave me the best results... I did some research... To use compost indoor, I should clean it from any pest by cooking it (oven). Well, I can't do that :D I also don't feel OK about buying soil again and again. It's not a matter of $$$, but just the non-sense of adding hundreds of litters of used soil to my garden after each grow. I may start to consider Hydro next year. Comment if you have any opinion, or suggestion about that :) BROKEN MAIN-LINING : ---------------------------- (See Picture 5) - One branch broke on second topping, when I was performing LST on it. I tried to save it, but it was really impossible to make it stay in the right place. And it was a full break... So 24h laters, when I knew for sure the branch was dead, I decided to cut the same branch on the other side of the main-lining, to keep the plant symetrical. And then, I re-topped remaining branch of both side of my main-lining. (Feels like a puzzle explaination, I hope this is clear enough :D). @Mrs_Larimar Reassured me about my choice. I was sad about my mistake, but she told me that my plant will totally recover and well, she was really right. It's like nothing happend... Yesterday (Day 70) I performed the last LST session on Lady #2 before switching to 12/12 light schedule :) I waited to see the plant looking a bit thirsty, to make branches bending easier and less risky. I will not go further : No enough space in grow room, and I need her to pass door to make the pictures ^^ GENETIC OBSERVATIONS : ---------------------------- - With cannabis, at some point, branches start to grow alternate, and not by pair. I noticed that this appeared right after first topping, so after node 3. - This genetic come with huge and longs stipules, it's crazy. Check pictures. Does it predict huge buds :D ? FEEDING : ----------- Plant been feeded with verry light doses of Fish-mix, since I know it's a powerfull product. The plant is showing verry small signs of deficiency, but I'm not worried about. I'm going to feed with recommended doses now since I'm starting flowering. I'm switching to Bio-Grow from now. I'll have to be vigilant about any more signs of deficiency, especially since she will start to stretch soon.
