ILGM White Widow Photoperiod

4/17 - Day 27 Seeing great growth over the last week- a little less than an inch per day. Main stem has 5 nodes with the 6th one just starting to form. The guidance I've read around topping is to target either the 4th, 5th or 6th node but make sure to do it before 7 nodes. I'm trying to keep my girl as compact as possible so I topped her today just above the 4th node. Up until now, I've been mostly watering via a hand pump sprayer a couple times a day in order to keep the soil moist but haven't watered using any significant quantities. Today I decided to ease into my nutrient regimen with a half dose of FF Big Bloom (3mL) and Great White (1/2tsp) per gallon of water. The solution had a pH of 6.8. Prior to making the solution, I did a pH test on a soil slurry and it read 6.1. Since I'm targeting a pH of 6.5, I decided not to adjust the pH of my solution. Of the gallon solution, I gave her 1.5L (6 cups), enough to produce some runoff. The runoff pH was 5.8 so a bit more acidic than I was hoping for. Plants look super healthy and happy so not going to fret about it at this point. This evening, I waited until minutes before the dark cycle began to top my girl. I hear that this can be beneficial for recovery. 4/18 - Day 28 Plant looks great. The nub where I topped already seems to be recovering nicely.
