Looking back over the past 6 weeks

Have a Green Crack plant that I just switched to 12 and 12, but thought about her life for a few minutes and Holy Fuck. Burnt by fertilizer at 3 weeks that killed her sister. Burnt by Mite X. Dropped 6 feet to the ground. Topped. FIMed. Supercropped. Lollypopped. LSTed three times. Just fed her worm castings, so she was starved. Overwatered. Underwatered.

She's a survivor.

doesn't sound like anything to be proud about

It was a learning plant. I figured I'd make all my mistakes with this while the other four were seeding. She's strong, so I think I may make her a mother if she's female

how about a pic? so the sick one is roughly 6~ weeks old? just curious to see how big it is after going through so much

I only have a black and white camera. Waiting for my friend to take one. It's 18 inches and the LST really got the growth going. I'm very happy with how it worked. Just added molasses and have bat guano ordered.

And, for anyone reading, Miracle Grow perlite has fertilizer and has hot spots. Burned this plant and one of my Special Kush #1 plants. I would highly recommend against using their perlite.

that's cool, about how tall was it when you first started LST?

yeah I only use perlite that doesn't have any nutrients most people only recommend this type.

It stopped growing upward after LST. The branches and side growth took off. The top grew maybe 2 inches

Another thing I learned from this plant is not to panic when there's something wrong. They're pretty resilient. I see the "Holy shit my leaves are yellow" threads and shake my head. People here went to great lengths and time to post sticky's that address every one of them. I'm 50, so if I can figure out the search feature, anyone can. Rollitup fucking rocks

It was so happy, I LST'd it for 12 hours with a 40 watt soft white spotlight on the exposed side and 2x 23 watt daylight's overhead. All CFL's. Then, I let her recover for an hour, cut off the best clone and put it in a soil mixture. If I'm right about this plant, this thing will root nicely, and if it does, I have nine more to go.

I also cut off all the fan leaves from the second node down. The tops are so big, they're all she needs.

Took two more clones and am thinking about forcing sex and going back to veg to see how big she'll grow with another few weeks of veg. This morning, the leaves were standing up and healthy and the top is growing. There are 12 good clones if I grow her another two weeks. It would be 15 plants from a strong mother, I think the success rate will be 90%
