After considering an attempt at a manifold, reading Nebula's tutorial concerning same several times, and with a desire to try and control the plant's height this is my first attempt with HST and this process. So far so good I guess.
This plant is KIller A5 Haze by Ace Seeds. It's a sativa and is growing in a 5 gallon pot with 50/50 blend of coco/perlite and gets CX Horticulture nutrients. It is in a 2x4x7'11" tent under a HLG 350 Rspec lamp currently at 385 ppfd 24" above the canopy. Leaf temps are 77-78. Tent temps steady at 77 F during the day and 70-72 F at night. RH is steady at 56 day and night thx to an ACI humidifier venting inside the tent. Each time nutrients are mixed and added the PH is set at a different point within the range for coco 5.8 - 6.2.
I dropped a seed on 4-15-25. It soaked for 24 hrs then went into the clone tent in a starter pot with coco/perlite blend and plain filtered water for germination. It sprouted on 4-17-25. On 4-21-25 the t5 lamp was turned on in the clone tent and the sprout was fed for the first time at 1/4 recommended strength, PH 6.0 and EC .4.
I started tracking veg time on 4-24-25. She went into the final home and 2x4 tent on 4-29-25.
After the plant grew to 6 nodes. I created the manifold on 5-12-25 when I topped it per Nebula's tutorial at the 3rd node and cleaned all the growth off of the plant underneath the 3rd node. After the top she slowed for a couple days before recovery.
On 5-21-25 I topped each side of the manifold at the 3rd node and cleaned off all growth at the 2nd node on each side, leaving 8 potential bud sites.
I'm a little unsure how long to veg this girl. I know the guidelines of when to flip to the 12/12. Do they also apply when growing a manifold? Still flip at half the desire final height?
There's still a loooong ways to grow. The goal is to make regular updates.
Questions or suggestions?
