Moved to flower

Mainlining is complete. Here is a photo of one of the plants with 8 grow sites. One plant lost one grow site. One plant only had 4 because it was too far behind and topping would have slowed everything down further.

All plants are now healthy. I've increased the nutrients to 3.5 mL of Micro, Bloom, & Grow each. I've begun mainlining and have topped twice which had given me 4 colas but going to top one more time in about a week to get to 8 colas. I'm at least a few weeks from flipping to flowering. Continuing to water the rock wool too often really set me back.

So, I want under feeding the plants at all. If anything I may have overfed in an effort to try and fix a misdiagnosed problem. I was over watering the rock wool which was causing the plant to droop. Now that I've remedied that and waited for them to bounce back a bit, I topped all plants above the 3rd node and removed all growth below the 3rd node to begin the process of mainlining. This was a little late for the healthy plants but was necessary to give the smaller and weaker plantsa fighting chance to keep up.

The plants look good for the most part but may be getting under fed after adjusting for the nitrogen toxicity so I changed out the water and added 2.5 ml of each micro, bloom, and grow.

Looks like three of the four are starting to really bounce back. May lose one but going to give it a few more days. Root growth is starting to come out of the netting. Going to change water tomorrow

Day 1 of veg. Moved seedlings into the rock wool cubes and into the nets. One looks to already be in a little shock. May end up germinating seeds in the peat pellets while already in the rock wool cubes next time to prevent the shock. Two out of 4 look great. Added 5ml of micro boom and grow into the 20 liters reservoir.

All 4 have germinated!! May end up waiting until I'm back from Nola to transplant them. So, Sunday night. Odds are it'll be too soon tomorrow to get them into the rock wool cubes. Making sure to keep the peat pellets moist by watering then slightly every few days. Lid stays on to keep the humidity high. I ended up using a golf tee to slightly pack the dirt around the stem to further bury the roots.

One of three have fully sprouted. One is nearly out. Two are shortly behind. Had to excavate one because it was packed in too tightly but can see it sprouting now. Need to transfer to the rock wool today (likely) and put under light.

One of the 4 seeds has begun to sprout. Tried to loosen up the soil above the other 3. Will give another day or so before excavating more into the other 3.
