Mars Hydro Grow Journal-TS1000-Glueberry Muffins by Destiny Exotic Genetics/2.3x2.3x5.2ft tent.... With a Twist.

I left the 2 tops on where I topped.. unlike the usual mainline/manifold method. Mainly just to soak up light with the small leaves left there.
She is the hollow stalk type... Never seen that before, but it's ok.

Now she is down to only 2 nodes, and the 2 tops at the cut.

I took paper clips and manipulated them to resemble a candy cane, and pulled over some rubber coating that I cut off of a plant tie. I used paper clips because the metal is more sturdy than the plant ties to stick into the soil.
I've actually decided that I will not be keeping the 2 tops in the center for long. Just for a week to help soak up light.
They would not work since they are taller than all the other branches. I plant on having a pretty full canopy. Need all the strength in the base as I can.

The reason for me having the 2 tops still on the plant, is just be cause it will give me something else to cut again in a week or 2. Reason behind that is to keep her short, and make that trunk a little girthy like it should be.
I'm actually going to be topping that same stump above the 2 nodes remaining on the plant twice. Just to keep her down, and build up a strong foundation.

Sounds awesome, Ima pull up a chair too and watch. I'd love to see that thing turn into a giant tree trunk. Happy growing

From here on out for the next month or so I have to focus on plant health, environmental conditions, and keeping her short. Going to be a ton of LST up in here.

70/30 lol I don't mind watering more frequently. Plus she will be going into 5gal next. Good drainage will come in handy. I will use less perlite in the final pot.

After 2 weeks on the new homes they are looking promising.
I can see one of the pot twins getting bigger than the other.

I would transplant them into bigger containers, but I really don’t have the space. So I will be growing these babies in their current homes until chop time.

The growth in the cups has not slowed down.

Day 27 from sprout. Glueberry Muffins.
Still have the 4 branches I didn't butcher tied down.
Couple of spots on the big fans.. she needed some cal mag finally. So with Fox Farm soil i was able to feed straight water for almost a month before
I had to add anything to the water. Now I'm adding 5ml of calmag per gallon of water.
I always water with the pot elevated so the water can run thru the pot, and into a tray below. I'm in a fabric pot with plenty of aeration, so I'm not
worried about over watering. I'm worried about watering without leaving dry soil anywhere in the pot.
Run off is discarded, and saucers are cleaned after every feeding. Along with the PH & PPM meters, and syringes used to get the calmag to the watering jug.
