Week #4-Nov 16 to Nov 22
11/16-Dialed nutes back a bit as I've still got some tiny yellow tips on a couple of leaves.
11/17-Did some light trimming and LST
11/18-runoffs right at input levels. Trimmed a couple of big top leaves that were covering lower branches that are emerging. Tied down a couple more emerging branches to even out the canopy. Plant is looking good so far and handling the HST and LST well.
11/19-Reduced nutes again and seem to have found the sweet spot around 800 ppm. Runoffs this morning were equal or slightly less than input. Discovered some minor leaf damage that looked like pests so I did light covering of neem oil with water previous night. Will monitor.
11/20-I think I have the nute levels just right now. Runoff was still slight below input but the plant is looking greener and really starting to get a nice spread on the canopy. Feeling good about this one.
11/22-Overall this has been a good week for FG. Plant is looking very healthy and has grown to 9 inches. I started the feed schedule a bit too aggressively but was able to dial things back a bit and now there are no signs of nutrient uptake issues. Runoffs are in sync with inputs and the plant continues to get bushier. I've been able to do some effective LST and the canopy of the plant is shaping up nicely. The plant is not showing signs of pre-flower yet so I'm going to plan for another week of vegging and hold off on switching to bloom mix until I see clear signs that the plant is transitioning.
