Boradan A few things to note:
Mega Crop amounts are incorrect - it is 0.5 GRAMS per liter as it is a powder nutrient.
The Light is an adjustable 3500k COB LED. 15 to 150Watts, so the actual wattage will vary from week to week.
This is an RDWC system with 4 pots running from a single reservoir using 60L TOTAL, which is why it may seem like a lot of nutrients.
We have some variegation on the leaves. May grow out of it. No big deal if it doesn't

Ordered a Bluelab Growbox with both.

Boradan Starting to bulk out now.
Getting a touch of Nitrogen toxicity due to overfeeding - shared reservoir with 3 other plants, so some suffering is to be expected.
May also have quite a bit to do with the fact that my ppm meter and pH pen were WAAAAY off, so I was feeding far too much and at the wrong pH.
Topped at Day 20

Boradan Some LST and Defoliation.
Running nice and smoothly.
Boradan Installed a SCROG net and stretched the lady out a bit.
On e of the ladies in the tent is suffering from CalMag issues
This means more Magnifical, which contains nitrogen, causing N Tox.

Boradan Took the SCROG net down as it was a pain.
Pistils are appearing sloooooowly, but are definitely making progress.
The COB is now up to 150 Watts
Boradan With the current heat, the plants are drinking a lot more than they are eating, so the ppm is increasing.
I will be keeping an eye on this to see if it is going to be an issue
Boradan The ppm issue is getting worse, so I have been adding a significant amount of pH'ed water to try and sort this.
Due to the excessive drinking and ppm increases, 2 of the plants sharing the reservoir are getting pretty heavy N Tox - they are further on than this lady, so are not needing as much N during flower.
Did a full reservoir change/clean and let them run for a few hours with ONLY PH'ed water.
Nutrient levels have been changed to try and cope with this - at least I can drop the MagnifiCal now as the plant that needed it is now into flower and should be fine.
pre-flowers are building nicely and still some stretch to go.
Currently 25" tall and 27"x 27" footprint
Boradan Well into pre-flowering and pushing towards full flowering.
She is now 27" x 27" and 30" tall.
Zero nutrient issues and all is looking well.
The main stem is no longer a stem and can only be called a trunk!
She recovered well from the defoliation in just a few days and looks like she may need some more soon.
@Boradan,
What a great grow, she's a mini tree! You should enter her in the grow contest. Nothing slowed her down, not even topping her, and she's an auto! Looks fantastic. Hope she gives you several ounces!
