Since I transplanted the coir plant I skipped watering for a day figuring the roots hadn’t grown into the new space yet so it would have plenty of water. Probly won’t do that again :o

It took four times a much as it should’ve. Seems fine though, and I gave it a little extra to flush it.

I realized the other day that I’d been mixing up ppm and ec stuff and had been giving it around 750ppm since like the second week. Way more than recommended but it seems to have no problem with it. I finished the first jug and made this new one a little lower, about 590.

I’m loving super cropping. The knuckles making the frame stronger and being able to remove the ties after a while is nice.

The plant I topped is looking great, really hope it’s female. The bottom two nodes have branches growing on the horizontal and vertical axis so today I decided to super crop the top mains to fill in diagonally. I only did one so far, but I also topped the other one again yesterday.

I just decided to make some real ties on the sides of the pot and do lst right.

I can’t wait for these to turn back up and grow a little so I’ll finally have a decent plant with a bunch of bud sites.

It’s incredibly annoying that this all might be for nothing if they’re male. Never using regular seeds again. My clones look like they’ve got root nubs finally so hopefully they’re female and I can get started on making fem seeds.

The manifold and lst ones are gonna be at six weeks in two more days so hopefully they presex soon. But not too soon :bigjoint:bongsmilie

Everything seems to have recovered and looks good. I’m pretty sure the triple cheese fim worked too.

Both clones have started roots also.

GREAT NEWS :hump:

The topped and manifold plants are females(it seems, know for sure in a day or two)! So now all three in the right tub are female. And I have clones for each of them that are rooted and about to get put into coir.

Time to order that colloidal silver.

I checked and it seems like most of them are starting to get alternating nodes and possible showing pre flowers.

This is the coir plant which isn’t good. It’s only 26 days and males usually show first. Of course it could be a growth tip idk.

This is the topped one that’s looking female

Transplanted the top from it into coir

Lol looking pretty sad. The big coir plant is just sucking up water now. It’s taking around 3/4 quart morning and night. Might need to add a mid day feed. Once I know if it’s female I’m going to move it up to a two gallon for sure.

Both the autos look good, and are the same size.

Starting to look pretty good in here, could be pretty crowded if there’s none or one males.

I decided to lst up the coir plant while I was watering it.

Here’s the other auto cheese, 8 days.

Definitely moving quicker now that I’ve got a little bit of a feel for everything.

Transplanted the auto into coir. Not sure how it’ll work with the soil but it’s a tiny bit so I’m just gong to feed lower at first.

Got a bunch more lst done on triple cheese and the manifold.

E907866F-8322-4C18-96B7-D04B3D494BE3.jpeg

A lot of the plants have preflowers now but too small to tell. I’m starting to think the people telling me female were guessing.

The manifold looks like a male to me so far, but I have no experience.

Also the super crop I did on the topped plant got a knuckle super fast. It isn’t split even though it looks like it.

So far the big pot auto is slightly larger. It was also healthier looking when I transplanted them both so that might be part of it. Either way both look good so far.

I’m almost positive this is female, it’s the tall one I super cropped then bent over.

This one does look different from the others, hopefully it’s iust a pheno thing and it won’t be the only female.

Bent the female alllll the way down. Hopefully that and the topping will make the side branches grow into some nice colas.

Also the auto in the big pot is getting much larger than the one I moved into a coir cup now. Learning how to water these plants has made a huge difference in growth speed. I think I probably had them at 50% speed up until recently.

I’ve been half super cropping a lot of branches on all the plants lately. Just pinching them enough to cause some damage but not full on super crop. I figure it’ll beef them up.

Auto at 2 weeks

Got some lst going on one of the autos

0F9B9DD3-9315-4376-888E-00B4D29A4ED5.jpeg

I might need to move to 5gal pots. The one female was bone dry today which is a day ahead of normal.

The coir plant has roots popping out on the bottom now too.

I think I’m gonna need to flip soon or I’ll run out of space. It’s incredible how quick they’re growing now.

Redid the manifold. Took a bunch of fan leaves off too. It has 11 colas and looks like there’s plenty of room if it’s female.

This is the topped and lst oldest plant, can’t tell what the hells going on. Really hope it’s female but idk.

Got rid of a tub and put trash bags down so I have more room.

Moved the auto under the led and took out the manifold which is almost definitely male.

Next time I water in a few days I’m going to move the triple cheese and female layer cake into 5 gallon pots.

I also took two clones from the triple cheese this morning. They were decent size this time and not tiny like the tops I used before. I took both branches from the first node. The plant is so dense and bushy they were trapped under everything and getting no light so it was perfect.

I’m probably gonna flower next Saturday. That’ll give the transplants a few days to adjust and all the branches that I’ve topped recently should be grown out some.

I just moved the other auto into a gallon of coir, the roots had already grown into the last pot so that’s good.

Just tied down the other auto.

I started flowering the manifold last night too just to make sure it’s male so I can toss it.

Transplanted the female lc to a 5gal. Took WAY more soil than I thought, basically finished the bag so I gotta get more to do the triple cheese.

It’s also much bigger than I expected so room is gonna be tight. It was hard getting it out of the pot. I had to cut the pot down the sides and peel it off. There were so many roots it sounded like Velcro.


The bigger autos stem like tripled in thickness around where I bent it over. Side branches are starting to take off so it’s looking good.

Both autos are showing pistils at the top today, day 19. I retied the bigger one and pulled a side branch out.

AAA107F7-4FC3-4810-AA09-6B75A9AFE844.jpeg

I’m gonna go buy more ffof in a little and move the triple cheese and possibly the other LC into 5 gallons.

Ended up only doing the triple cheese today, and a little defoliation on the coir plant. The triple cheese didn’t seem to notice the move at all, and also the roots weren’t grown into the pot so none ripped off.

I think I’m gonna move the coir plant to two gallons and flip on Saturday.

Did some more defoliation, they all look good now. Also I have no idea what’s going on with preflowers. The thing on the manifold I thought was male turned out to be a tiny little leaf growing in. I can’t find anything anywhere else on it. It’s been on 12/12 for a few days now.

The female layercake has a few visible pistils on the top node now. I’m really surprised it’s the only one since they’re all 7-8 weeks tomorrow.

I blacked out the window today to make flowering easier. Tomorrow I’ll move the last lc plant into a 5 gallon and then put more black out over the closet to be safe.

Check out the knuckle from when I bent one of the the topped lcs main stems down a while back.

I also snapped one of the autos branches trying to bend it today. Tried taping it up so we’ll see.

I repotted the last plant, trimmed and tied them all down and rearranged them under the lights.

Decided to flip finally so today is the first night of 12/12.

The soil auto is way more rigid than any of the other plants. I managed to snap the top node off today right as the two new mains took off.

Also they’re starting to go yellow on the new growth. I’m gonna switch back to filtered water and start feeding them a little bit.
