And now she lost her head...
My training will be a mix of high stress and low stress, I like a bit of stem smooshing and strategic cutting, as well as using the yo-yo hooks.

That's the problem with those plastic pots.
I've used them before.
They come with a best before date on them.
Still looking healthy though.
Have a great weekend Amigo.


Stay safe

I think you got an indica pheno going there.

Definitely. Both Purple Ghost, and banana Jealously both heavy indica traits

Looks like a bit of light burn on the leaves, so I raised the light up a tad. Should see a difference in the next few days.
I'm a fan of supercropping, so I'm squeezing stems until she's big enough to tie down.
I inoculated the soil with a trichoderma mix, check out the mycelium growth (mycorrhiza fungi)

A bit of a side by side, first plant is actually a day younger. One has mycos the other doesn’t. Maybe that shit does work…?!

Lolling!

My PGC is growing like Sativa stretchy, so I'll clone/SoG
Topped at node 3, got 6 branches for clones so far; I'll tip those again to try for 12 clones

The leaves have a slight yellow banding, which I've seen on some other grows, so although I shouldn't need to with my nutes, I'm going to start adding CaMg and up the N/K dosage and light level a bit

The big feed didn't hurt, but didn't help much either
I had to think again... and then remembered the breeder saying they like it warm, and I was still on 16/8 with fan on 100% 24/7
So to minimise temperature fluctuation I lowered the lamp and set it down to 100w @ 12"
Set the timer to 20/4, and the fan reduced to 25% too
That should keep the temperature in there a little warmer and a little less fluctuation day/night
I'll know tomorrow

From my perspective, It’s just a hungry strain and its roots aren’t aggressive enough for its hunger. You can see the topped one here just now is getting big enough for its hunger:

The untopped plant caught up last week

It took about 30 days for the untopped roots to spread enough to handle its hunger. The topped plant is caught up now but that took 35-40 days. You could probably feed it even more early on, but as you found out, I don’t think it would make enough of a difference to justify it. Plus, a hungry plant means more roots so not a huge problem.
