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.

A bit more bending to keep everything flat.
In this case there's rarely to add more wires^^ Just moving the wire along the branch will be enough.

Let's make some room!
Ok so it's bit of a mess, next time I'll really top it instead, would make a much cleaner branch layout.

Pistills should start showing up after a week of two of 12/12 light cycles.

So now that our plant is blooming schedules she's going to have an intense growth for a few weeks.
There's not much to do during that stage, just make sure the early bud sites are well exposed to the light!

It's growing nicely. And we can see some pistils showing up.
So let's start the blooming phase in the app!

Those "groups" of pistils will be our buds, this is the part that should be well exposed to light, without leaves blocking the view.
It's also where the plant is going to do it's "blooming stretch".

And now it's growing faaaast!
No worries it's just going to be like that for 1 or 2 weeks, then it will stall.
That's also why it's sometimes advised to put more light power when flipping to bloom.
