Update May, 20
Another 1.5l with week 4 dose.
Takti recovered from topping. He grew massive leaves as well which wasn’t so obvious while he drooped.
I also added training clips and wire to Samy as he grows „longer“. Takti is still too short for that. The clip would be too long.

Watered 1.5L each today. Used week 4 of the feeding schedule, so I skipped week 3. I also inserted a first scrog net to help with LST. I wanted to try using two nets this time, so this will be the lower one. The reason I hadn’t put it in yet was to not cast shade on the plants, so I placed it below everything. It has a nice side use: you can put lower hanging leaves up to make space for the water spray. Can only recommend putting the scrog net in as early as possible, in case you didn’t know that already. 😆😆
Update May 17
Another week, another progress update.
Had a bit of a stressful situation a few days ago when Takti started drooping. Must be because he had a little root damage during transplantation. You can see it in the pictures from last week. Every other parameter was the same for Samy and he didn’t droop. I still set the light timer back to 20 hours, and he fully recovered. I’ve since increased it back to 21 hours and will go back to 22 in steps of 30 minutes.
They are massive chuggers. I give them more than double the water I gave Ryu and Ken in my last grow, and they still handle it like it’s nothing.
This week is also topping time. Started the week by topping both of them, as well as defoliating their single-finger leaves and the shoots coming from there. They should be fully recovered by the end of the week. Fingers double-u'd.
Last but not least, I uploaded the timelapse, enjoy! I now need something to hold my iPhone in place facing the plants in their larger pots to continue it, and right now I don’t have the money for that. But I’ll see what I can do, maybe I’ll find something and can keep it going. On the upside: before, I was dependent on my gaming PC running to record the lapses. Now my iPhone can record for days without me having to babysit anything, so as soon as I have something to hold it in place, I can keep those going till the end of the grow, no problem.
Stay tuned and happy growing!
