I’m posting the following journey undertaken by my friend Theodore Complete on their behalf.

Tent-Venture - S02E03

Day 14 (2/11)

The progress has not been bad for 2 weeks. Not as robust as Sadie but way better than Delilah - I’m not even counting the space bucket plant anymore, it was a shame what I put that thing through. I don’t understand the lengths and efforts others go to in order to be successful in those cramped spaces. It seemed like a neat idea at the time but it’s really just an exercise in making a plant survive despite being uncomfortable.

Day 15 (2/12)

Seems like it’s happy. I bumped the light to full power at roughly 22 inches above, kicking out 38k lux.

Day 16 (2/13)

Day 17 (2/14)

Day 18 (2/15)

The plan on this grow is a more aggressive training called ‘main lining’ and or ‘manifolding’. This will involve topping at the 3rd node and clearing all growth except for the 3rd node. The growth should then develop in 2 main stalks rather than just one main stem. I’m not sure if I’ll top the new mains, but the option is there. I’m nervous but excited.

It just took a few snips to clear it down. Now I’ll stress out for a few days and hope it bounces back.

Well, this will either work or it won’t I guess. I’m hoping not to wake up to a dead plant tomorrow.

Day 19 (2/16)

I feel like it’ll be ok. She’s a fighter.

Day 20 (2/17)

Success! Growth is evident!

Day 21 (2/18)

It’s popping off now. Those new shoots are the ones I will be tying down. They will be the new main stems. If I hold to the plan I will let these grow out to 3-4 nodes each and top them just like the main one.

I threw a bit of top dressing down and spritzed with a bit of water on it.
