So today marks a month and I honestly couldnt be happier with the way everything is going.
Havent had to do much of anything and the only problem I had was starting bottom watering too early which Im just going to skip this run anyway, until I get a better understanding of the most effective way to utilize the system. But I like the control you have over top feeding each plant individually and since Im not going to have more than 4 plants going at a time, at least for a while, it just doesnt seem worth it to me to get into automatic irrigation.
So all 4 plants are looking good. Lst wire has shipped so hopefully its here by tuesday or Wednesday I definitely need to start training these 3 photos.
Noticed that both of the oldest branches on the granite runtz seemed to have "topped" themselves. I say that because they both have split into multiple tops by themselves, not concerned at all, and Ive seen it once or twice before on other sites when doing research but never really seen anyone talk about it here but I also havent been looking till now
So this is one of the branches that seemed to diverge on its own
The one on the other side. Not a great pic but it looks like one of the chutes is going to split up again. Could be wrong hard to tell.
Heres the whole granite runtz took pics with the grow light off and on to see how the color looks under more natural light.

Other peyote
Not much else to report. Thinking about trimming away some of the oldest fan leaves on all the photos, they are all so big they are really making it hard to get into the pot and water without getting water all over them. Not a prob when just watering but with a feeding those spots fry up pretty quick and one of the leaves on the granite looks like a rusty washboard in the exact outline of the splash I got on it lol. So for the sake of keeping them leaves at peak efficiency imIm probably gonna do a small defoliation when I get my wire and start lst.
Super excited to see how they flower out. Im almost getting inpatient/anxious. Also Im kinda going into growing this much blind. I have a rough idea about how big all these plants will get but I did some snooping around the forum to see if anyone else had grown granite runtz all the way through and I found one and it was bigger than my caramel cream when I chopped it down and it had to still be quite a ways away from harvest from what I saw, so canopy management is a concern for me. After they all start flowering, I think im gonna have to drop it to 12/12 before the granite gets harvested. And im nervous about putting some netting up because I dont want it to be difficult to move stuff around when the granite is ready to come out.
