Indoor First grow redux

[baked in the bluegrass]

Heya afn! So i had started a white widow from seedsman about a month back. It grew real funky, had an issue with branches sticking together that seems to have messed up her vertical growth. I got nervous that the widow wouldnt make it so i dropped another seed about 3 weeks ago. This journal will be for that second seed, a gorilla blue from advanced seeds.

Set up-
1x gorilla blue auto from advanced seeds
2x2x4 tent
1x 65w cob from the cobshop
2 gallon fabric pot
Coco loco
Nutes- megacrop v1 w/ roots organic elemental for calmag needs

Today is day 14 for my gorilla blue and she seems to be just fine! Shes already passed my white widow as far as healthy growth.
She has received her 1st feed with the mc and el, started at 1/4 strength and will adjust.
She is 30 inches from that delicious cob and she is loving that light!
Temps and rh are spot on, the water has been in a fantastic ph range and im feeling good about it!

Another member of the Autocob Club. Smart play. Looks like you are moving along nicely with the grow. Hope you kill it at harvest time. Good luck.

Day 16-
The gorilla blue is chugging along, lookin all healthy and ish!
Environment is golden, temps and rh are spot on, shes grown about an inch taller so shes about 29' from the autocob.
She got her 2nd feed of mc and elemental today, .5 liters.
I am also in the planning stages of moving the gb to her own closet. Shes in a 2x2x4 tent with another lil plant and i know thats gonna be tighter than id like so im gonna move the gb into an upstairs closet. Should be a perfect lil grow space, measures out at 32x32x60 so itll be a little more spacious, easy to move around in.
Im actually toying with the idea of ditching the tent and growing the 2 babies in the closet. We will see!
Back to the gorilla blue....im toying with the idea of topping her, it could be as early as sunday. Whatever i decide im going to have to contain her heighth, so ive already started with some training.

Day 21- gorilla blue is doing her thing! I topped her yesterday, between her 3rd and 4th node. She seems to be fine and recovering.
She received another .5 liter of mc yesterday, we are still at 1/4 strength, will up that next week.

Day 23- gorilla blue is doing all right! She has recovered from her topping(a note on that later) and is in the midst of some training.
I am being much gentler with her than my white widow in regards to handling and training and i hope she appreciates it!
She lives in a 2 gal fabric pot with straight coco loco. I waited till week 2 before i used any nutes, im at 1/4 strength megacrop v1 and will up that next week.
Gb received 750 ml of mc today and i think ill up that to a full liter on her next watering, probably sunday if she keeps drinking like she has.
Ph has been good, tho it seems to be better when i add the mc.
Ppm jumps from 200(tapwater) to 600 when i add the 1/4 strength mc, for those who keep track.
Shes closer to her light now as well, ive got her at 25 inches and she seems to dig it. Shes standing tall but not leggy.
All righty, so back to the gorilla blue and her being topped. I topped her 4 days ago or something, im so elevated i cant recall and im too lazy to look back through this 5 post journal lol. Anyways, i topped her and am using that top in an experiment.
I took the cut top, added a rooting hormone and stuck it in some soil and left it outside on my patio 4 days ago. Its still alive i think!! It hasnt wilted at all, and seems to be responding to light. Now i know it probs

wont amount to anything but im super curious. Also, its really kinda cute looking, like a green spider coming up outta the soil.

That past pic is very interesting. I've never experienced that. Trippy looking. Just be careful that it doesn't one day swallow your head.

That would be an awesome way to go out tho. Local man devoured by cloned autoflower!

Day 25- gorilla blue is doing her thing. Shes recovered from the topping from earlier this week, new growth coming in nicely.
I let her out of her restraints for a couple hours this morning, she appreciated the room to stretch. Ive got her rebound now.
Today is her last feed of mc at 1/4 strength, ill be upping her next feed to 1/2, probably on tuesday.
Shes doing great, pistils are showing up and shes starting to smell very green.

Edit- shes 20 inches from the cob now and seems to be loving it! I dont have anything reflective up in the closet yet, if i did i might not be able to be this close. Ill rock it for now and adjust as needed
