Hey guys,
this topic is gonna be pretty plain for a while (veg isn’t the most interesting part of our hobby), but I figure I’d start it and update it as I go. Any dates are approximate, because I suck at keeping track of things or taking pictures when interesting things happen, but I’m trying to improve on that and next grow will be more documented.
I got a teen clone (3" rockwool cube) from a dispensary in Southern CA around Memorial Day and transplanted it the same day into my own rich organic soil mix (no supersoil yet) and kept it indoors while it settled. Looked pretty fucked up at first since it was used to synthetics and it started yellowing pretty fast. I top dressed with some supersoil I had mixed up to help it out, but I didn’t want to go back to synthetics so it still looked a bit light green and bottom leaves were yellowing (nitrogen deficient), but once the roots became established it stopped getting any worse. It stayed stagnant for about a week or week and a half so I figured I would acclimate it outside for a couple days and then just left it out. I was also training it during this time (lst, which the dispensary had started a bit because they were running out of room) By the two or two and a half week mark it was growing like crazy and outgrew the 3 gallon pot I had it in during week 3, so the bottom leaves started yellowing again lol. I transplanted it into it’s final 7 gallon pot with pure super soil at the bottom and it took off like a rocket! Check it out:
I think it was about 3-4 feet in that pic and it started out at around 3 feet (I then lst’d it to a little over 2) so not much height difference, but it was all skin and bones compared to how bushy it is now. You could clearly see every bit of the main stem when I got it and now you can’t without looking under the canopy and moving some leaves out of the way. It was actually getting a little too lanky because of the heat so I lst’d it further yesterday and here it is today:
It looks like a table made of leaves lol. I trip out how it’s been almost the same height throughout the grow, but it’s just bushing out constantly. I love LST (and suppercropping which I did by accident lol)!
Anyways that’s it for now, I’ll post some pictures once it begins to flower or if I lst it again.
