Dolly

My first clone grow. The plant is White Widow x Pineapple Punk Watered with 250ml dechlorinated tap water (DTW)

Performed watering

Today I purposely FIM'd Dolly. This is my first time trying this kind of training. From reading, I have learned that the FIM training causes less stress than topping.

The soil is still moist from yesterday's watering. I'm hoping that leaning Dolly over on one side after the FIM will help to inspire multiple colas. I see a number of little hairs sticking out at the nodes, so I am hopeful that this will be a very generous plant.

Overnight Dolly has turned her leaves back toward the "sun", so I did a light tie down at the top of the plant. The tips from the FIM seem to be recovering as well. The soil is still damp beneath the surface, so nothing additional today.

Dolly seems to be getting along in good health. I am applying a little more LST today to tip the apical tip down a bit further. She also gets watered today with 500 ml of pH'd water. EDIT: I also decided to add some supplemental side lighting today.

I have discovered thrips on my plants. I plan to attack this with neem oil, diatomaceous earth, and some sticky traps to boot.

I think that Dolly may have a bit of nutrient burn. All of this on top of getting hit with thrips seems to have put her in quite a state. I watered with 500 mils of water with newts. I also turned off the side lighting, to see if I'm causing problems with that being turned on.

I watered yesterday, and the leaves look happy today. I think I may be over the problem with the thrips, so I may start feeding from the top of the pot now.
I definitely have some leave showing nutrient burn, so I diluted the water in my reservoir. I hope that will be enough to lower the strength of the nutes.

In an effort to get over my nutrient burn problems, cleaned out my water reservoir, and have gone back to watering with dechlorinated tap water. Watered with 500 mL today.

I am still hoping that dolly will recover from her trials and tribulations. Past experience with these plants show that they are remarkably resilient. Let's hope that proves to be true for Dolly!

I watered today with 500 mL of pH balanced water. Dolly is looking very sickly, and I'm hoping I can revive her.

Performed watering. Crossed fingers. Sacrificed a fig.

I did a lot of cleanup of leaves that were crispy from nutrient burn. I also adjusted some of my LST stakes.

She looks pretty good this morning. I am hopeful that she will come through this with flying colors. I have decided that aside from a bit of leaf tucking here and there, I am done with the training on this clone.

A bit more light pruning to remove a lot of the crispy leaves. It feels like I'm getting rid of evidence, but I think that if Dolly doesn't have to send energy to busted leaves, she might perk up.

Yesterday I decided to remove some of the training wires, and it looks like Dolly is agreeing with the treatment.
