This week took a while for the plants to bounce back from transplanting. I also should have soil slurried the first watering as the soil PH has been too high. You can attest to this by the yellowing of the leaves - either stressed from transplant or unable to uptake nutrients.
going forward I will continue to soil slurry the test - 2 tsp of soil and 4 tsp of non PH'd water.
I will continue to LST as this is preparing me for the mainline. I am waiting for the 3rd or 4th node to come in and I will top again.
The nodules at the bottom of the stalk will be buried once I transplant to the 5 gal fabric pots.
things are finally aligning and i feel as though we are really about to take off now.
