Hello all this is my second grow, however my first outdoor grow. Sorry if I'm a bit unorganized I haven't grown in a year and aren't used to forums. The purpose of posting this is for others to see my mistakes and learn what not to do, and on the other hand I may have some useful knowledge to some. I am growing one Ak47 x Granddaddy Purple plant. The vegetative growth of this plant was done indoors and was originally intended for indoors, however due to energy bill I had to move outside I put my girl outside for 12 hours a day, and inside in the dark for 12 hours. First 2 posts will be Indoor part, and Ill be updating the outdoor part as it comes.

Setup: 400w MH and HPS bulbs,3/4 part FoxFarm OceanForest soil and 1/4 part Perlite, Floranova grow and bloom.

This baby started as a clone under my 400w MH on 18/6, and by the the first week of veg she started turning a bit light green so i watered in some blood meal (pure source nitrogen) which helped her turn greener.

The water cycle I used was Sunday>Water w/1 tsp FloraNova grow, and Wednesday> Water enough to let saucer fill up with JUST WATER. And that's it. It's good to give your plants a dry spell for 3 days or so.

Shitty pic, but this is babys first day in my setup.

Well I read up on rollitup forums and learned about FIM so I tried it out. I'm pretty sure I even missed on the "fuck I missed" method. Fuck?

Heres the yellowing, well light-greening.

This is the outcome of bloodmeal only after 1 day. She is exactly 1 week old from clone

This is the reason why I think I messed up of the FIM method. Look at the new growths coming out! They fuckin look like little half-leaves emerging, definitely not like the pics I have seen in my research. Anyway, i "topped" the growth off the main stem, aka topped off the area I tried to FIM.

This is the result of topping the FIM area. I'm not sure if the FIM method worked or if it was the topping that did this, but I got some bushy branching happening. The plant looks funky because I am
training the fan leaves away from the main growths and potential bud sites.

Definitely happy with whatever happened, this girl is bushy as HELL! Training those main growths really seemed to help out. This is the last day of veg, 3 weeks from planting clone.

This is the after the first day/night of 12/12. Unfortunately the same day I learned PG and E went up $50, so fuck, this baby is going outdoors. The next posts will be all outdoors, and this concludes the indoor/vegetative growth section.

She seems to be LOVING it outdoors! I keep it 12 hours outside, and put in my closet for 12 hours in a light-proof environment. She is in flowering. Only has had one dose of bloom nutes so far.

Been outdoors for its first 12 hours, looking good.
