ONE GALLON CHALLANGE | THCFARMER GROWERS 2022

[MartyMcFly42oh]

what was your veg time on it

Something ridiculous like nine months, I don’t keep good records, but if I waste a half an hour I’ll probably find pictures of her mother someways back, when I cut the mother down she had two lower branches that I left on to reveg, but I got impatient and ended up cutting each branch a few nodes down and cloned them, one got flowered in my three by three with a few different plants the other got trained out and scrogged in the two by two. So technically she was a monster cropped clone.

lol, i don't think you should even flip. let it grow a bit more

Let her get bushy , I’m wishing I’d gone with a photo period my little girls growing up too fast.

All about letting them grow. A week or two. I'm concerned about the height. They say if limited for space, only veg Bruce for 3 to 4 weeks. I'm coming up on that. I'm also concerned about the height difference that will occur after I flip them. I almost don't want to put a trellis up so I can adjust the pots up or down accordingly.

Maybe make an even canopy within each plant and lift the domina as I need to?

Back to topic, you're right. I tend to over prune. I'll try a no cut approach this time. Mostly.

I am even more out of space. I was able to delay the main stem, but now others almost kissing the light. Still need like 6 days. Turned light down for now.

Welp, as foreseen 6 weeks ago, I have a space problem. Hopefully the tall bits can handle 4-5 more days in tight quarters. One more now past the light lol.

@PK1 hey man, is growing in this acceptable?

These are 4 seeds

started (fuck, sorry I didn’t date) but obv they were started within a month or so, and then middle is clone, same thing

I have no idea what happened to the original clone / I started a post/entry with here

the tote it’s self is 55qt, but I’m not running it like a reservoir or DWC

a aeroponic chamber though If you will.

I spray roots with this (last picture)

Day 15 White Widow. Didn't post last week because we had a little setback and she didn't do much growing. On day 3 I noticed her cotyledons yellowing and she was looking sad. I'm 95% sure that I forgot to do my little indent of neutral soil for the germinated seed, and she is in Ocean Forest plus Perlite, I've never used it before but have read on here that it is a bit hot for babies... usually I make my own mix. So, knowing the cotyledons shouldn't be yellowing on day 3, I freaked out a little bit and transplanted her on day 4. Normally I would NEVER transplant a 4 day old seedling, but I didn't want to wait for symptoms to get worse. Silver lining is that I wanted to transplant her to a smaller pot anyway, since some hinted that my 1.3 gallon pot might not be legal... rest assured, the pot she is in now is not more than one gallon. So she went into the same soil, but with a nice pocket of neutral peat/perlite, and I moved her away from the light a bit for 2 days. She's bouncing back and looking happy now. If anyone happens to notice the whitish stuff on the leaves, it's not PM, just dust, probably from the perlite as I vacuumed the closet, I wiped it off with my finger after taking the pics.

Tied the tallest one down. Another small issue is it’s running cool since I dimmed the light. Hopefully sorted out this weekend.

Why didn't you train it from the beginning?

I did. Just hoped wouldn’t get this tight a fit. Trim started though. She’ll have space soon.

With the summer getting closer, my work hours are getting longer. Here is another update, She is finally out of her last shock.
The last damage to the main stem did throw her out for a week. Feels like couple weeks to be honest, but she put on another couple nodes.

I don't mind them stretching in soil. Gives me a chance to plant it lower in dirt while transplanting.

Yes I believe that’s how they create autoflower strains.

If patients was the name of the game then you would have won already. I think I’ve uprooted five seedlings that never took off since march first.

I used a lot of wires and clips. Man, that is a versatile combination. I suggest them to everyone learning to LST.

I used pipe cleaners for a while but I think they shed fibers as they break down so I stopped using them and bought a roll of twist ties under $3 for 164 feet.
