She is growing well. Decided to top her and see how she performs.

She bounced back extremely well after being topped. Still going through a lot of rapid growth. Pistils started to show.

Pulled off a few fan leaves to open up the center a bit more for light. Moved the light up due to light stress beginning to show on some others around her. Increased the nutes and started add Tiger Bloom.

Started stretching now. The mars hydro grow tent was replaced with a 2'x4' and another light added. It rose the temperature up so lights were adjusted higher and another fan added. Watering every 2-3 days now. Did some minor defoliation.

Some minor leaf plucking, starting to consume more water now. Starting stretching a lot now.

Unfortunately I got lazy and didn't take any pics of week 8. She did stretch quite a bit during that week and finished this week. I did some defoliation to try and open up the center more for light.

Had to raise the lights due to some serious light stress along with nitrogen burn. Starting to swell up and smell more but not much. Pistils are a nice contrasting white on the green with no showing of brown. Trichomes are still clear with a few milky here and there.

Nothing much going on. My A/C unit went out and the temperature shot up to 92*f for a couple days. To help get the temps down while during repair, I left the lights off and only used the room lights. Leaves are starting to fade into harvest colors. Praying mantis egg case hatched and a few babies escaped the container before getting them outside. 2 of the colas fell over from the weight so I cut them to dry instead of just tying them up.

Super easy grow. I only topped her once and she did amazing. Suffered from heat stress when my A/C went out for a couple days and the tent hit mid 90’s F. She did have some N problems as well early on but nothing major. I definitely liked the way she grew.
