Diary review:
El dorado OG 2
This guide is part of:
Welcome to this first Diary Review!
Let start with this El Dorado OG from Paradise Seeds that grew in the Arcade Grow Box!
It mostly grew in a 60x60x80cm space.
Final yield was around 90g with a nice 45g bonus thanks to its clones.
This plant only received low stress training, with a little twist, it's actually planted from the side of the pot.
So basically the idea was to have it start horizontally, and then bend it around the pot to have a nice circle.
That was a fun experiment, will probably try it again, but with topping early on.
Vegging: week 8 day 7
Not much to say, just growing

Will flip to bloom in a week or two:)
Not much to say, just growing
It's growing nicely, there's a bit of bending to do in order to keep everything at the same height.

Temporarily Added a few clones in there:)

Let's finish the circle
Bending
Bending the tip of both branches to close the circle.
Let's finish the circle
Ok we finally have branches that are long enough to close the circle.
Let's add a few wires to keep everything in place.
Circle done!

Circle done, let’s give a few days then flip to bloom😋

Post bending defoliation
Defoliation
Making a but of space for light to go through.
Post bending defoliation
Ok so now that everything is bent, we need to defoliate a bit.
The point is to have all future budsites well exposed to the light.

Looking good. A little bending session will soon be needed to spread all that apart.
Also looks like I forgot to mark down a watering here.

Yet another bending session
Bending
More bending to spread those branches apart.
Yet another bending session
Let's add a few more wires to keep those branches flat.
The plan now is to fill the whole horizontal space of the box.
Also we can push the vegging time a bit longer since we're getting a pre-harvest with the clones:)
Post bending defoliation
Defoliation
Last defoliation before switching to bloom schedules.
Post bending defoliation
As usual a little defoliation session is done after bending branches.
To accommodate with the new branch layout.
Filling the space
Grow log
Tkaing the whole space now, blooming soon:)
Filling the space
The horizontal space is getting filled.
This box has a 60x60cm surface, which is a bit much for a single plant.
At that point I thought I would flip to bloom soon, but it actually happened 2 weeks later. Flipping at that point could have been way enough already.

And we can already see our next upcoming bending session.

All good

Next time I start the plant from the side of the pot, I'll probably top it too.
That would make it much easier to keep everything symmetrical.
