I forgot to snap a pic but it seems like keeping up with that 1/2 gallon of water per day is starting to level things out a bit. A lot of the newer growth is starting to even out and the yellow tips are disappearing on some of the newest growth so there some improvement at least.
Today I watered 3/4 of a gallon mixed with a little rootwise from the watering can today, nothing ran out and I didnt use a surfactant, but its been almost a month since Ive added any biology and Ive had a couple minor dry backs so hopefully those microbes and fungi will help steer things back in the right direction.
With that said as long as she shows signs of improving with this strategy, I plan of flipping to 12/12 at the end of next week and shes a fast flowering strain so +/- 7 weeks should be harvest time. Will be lollipopping and doing a defoliation right before the flip. Then of course if she needs it as the stretch winds down.

Might want to up the water a little if you not having any run off.

I might be mistaken, but I thought you were not supposed to have run off doing organics
I’ve never had that experience I’ve always had some runoff and try to minimize it.

So I just put in a seed order from Barneys Farm, if you stop by they have 40% off everything right now which is why I pulled the trigger. Got the last few strains I wanted to get from them plus a couple that sound interesting.
The Gary Payton and Lemon Tree are both 5 packs as well. Gary Payton seems like a cool strain, not something I was looking specifically for, but I kept eyeing it and since they offered freebies I snagged one and Lemon tree is a killer strain so I got some more. But Ive been waiting to get my hands on the Dos si dos 33 and pineapple express for a WHILE but there was always something that stood out more, now I finally got them. Just waiting for some banks to get some more in house genetics in and then I will be done collecting till right before the ban goes through. I have a feeling theres gonna be some crazy flash sales the month before they become illegal.

Decided to do a little mid week update since Im off. It appears things are slowing down a bit and normalizing. Did a little work inside the tent today too.
Did a little watering as the pot was starting to feel light. A good amount with some quillaja powder. About 1.5 gallons, dripped a few times but stopped right away. I also spread the plant a little bit as it was getting very difficult to check things out. Some side branches are completely outpacing the branch they grew off of, and I also cleaned up a bit just to manage humidity. With so many leaves transpiring it was hard to get the humidity under the up 60% range even with the lung room being kept at 60% with a well oversized dehumidifier.
She’s getting very very close to wall to wall. Just trying to keep everything even and airflow good. I think no matter what I will be flipping to flower by next Saturday.
Since Im having problems managing these secondary branches I think once I make the flip I will be dropping the net, to manage height for one and to make sure everything gets nice even light. Because Im leaving most of the center to fill in with this vigorous side growth. Only 2 or 3 main branches are what I would say is in the center otherwise I flattened the rest out to fill out the horizontal space and it seems to be working well.

Looking great! A little training now should really help open up the canopy and make the most of those TSP Seeds genetics. Excited to see how she fills out over the next few weeks.
Well its Saturday and though much hasn’t changed it is time for a formal weekly update.
She’s getting so big. I may end up flipping to flower before Friday. I dont know why I didnt think about this but craft blend is flower safe. So I did another light top dress. Its been about 3 weeks since the last so its time.
Other than that nothing has changed since my update Thursday. Had to do another heafty watering. 2.5 gallons today, though I did allow it to run off a bit. But I would say it was less than 1% of the entire watering.
Here’s light on and off pics for accurate color.

Looking great! She’s really taking off now. The top dress and watering routine seem to be working perfectly. Excited to see how she develops over the next week.

So I pulled the trigger. She’s doing that yellowing up again and I dont have the time or space to let her green up again. So 12/12 it is. Will be doing a defoliation and lollipop again on Saturday. Shes may be having some issues but shes still growing steadily. She’s become a bush and developed 4-6 nodes on pretty much every branch and side branch since my last clean up.

I’ve been grabbing a few things here and there too before any potential ban hits. I’ve been running some The Seed Pharm autos lately and they’ve been consistent, plus they usually have decent sales and free seeds pretty often

Ive been hearing a lot about them. Though I dont see them on very many seed banks

So its Saturday again which means its time for an update.
So I flipped to flower Tuesday if I remember right. Seems like the plant has begun to explode. 4 days after the flip and there was some noticeable vertical growth but its the side branching that really took off. I probably took 40-50% of the vegetation and spread things out a little better and theres still a lot to her.
Been watering almost every day with 1.5 gallons and a surfactant. Also Im cutting my extremely basic spring water with RO water now to drop the ph into a more bufferable range. (Ppm of the spring water is like 330. So Im mixing ro to sring water at about a 5:1 ro/spring, final mix is like 90-100ppm). Should be coming out in the 7.0 to 7.3 range which is still high but Im not busting out the ph pen and ph adjusters. Might hurt the overall picture but the plant is growing just fine, few imbalances here and there. I just wanna cross the finish line, then next grow I will really dial in this build a soil system.
You can see in the pics, overall shes doing alright but she is struggling a bit. Not too concerned like I said. She’s pushed through the abuse so far, Im sure she will keep on keeping on.

Small update. Its been a week since the flip so I think I will start updating Tuesdays now since it just works with the change of the plant.
Not much has happened, put on 4 nodes since the flip but still staying relatively compact.

Flipping the switch did her good! She looks nice and bushy mate, hope she’ll carry on like this

Looks like a solid setup coming together. Perfect time to grab some genetics from The Seed Pharm and save with BOGOAUTO.
