Lots of new growth, growing upward and new leaves and branches sticking outward. Still only feeding tap water and a few drops of rapid start. Going to have some fun with this one and top it at the 3rd node and do some LSTing to the new growth and try to open her up. Also any comments, advice, knowledge always welcome!! Let's GROW together!

Started giving nutrients later in this 3rd week as well as topped the plant earlier in the week. Plant is growing nicely with a thick stalk and nice strong branches. So strong they keep pulling the stakes I am using to try and train them with out of the soil. Bushy plant so far but hopefully with correct training I can open her up and get lots of lighting on more bud sites. Also any comments, advice, knowledge always welcome!! Let's GROW together!

Plant has grown out some and you can see the difference in space between the nodes from the previous week. Staked down some of the new growth and did some defoliation. Nice thick stem and big knuckles growing off all 4 branches from the stem. Switching up the nutrients most likely on the next feeding and using some recharge to act as a flushing and then for the next set of nutrients. Can tell from the photos when some fresh training was done and when the leaves have bounced back and grown. If you have any advice, questions, concerns, or comments please feel free to share them and ask away!

The plant took on nice growth and gained some color this week! Lots of visable bud sites and flowering starting to happen. Used recharge as a semi flushing agent and water for a feeding before switching nutrients to Canna boost and MOAB pk booster starting on the next feeding. The buds starting to come in have a dark deep purple in them and look amazing. Darkest purple I have seen in a plant and super happy with it. The plant has started reaching the point where my inner branches are starting to touch so having to train them away from each other or start letting them go upward. Wanting to do some defoliation but waiting for a few more newer branches to get a little longer. Any suggestions on how to train the branches away from each other? or defoliation when everything is starting to get closer to each other to allow light but not stunt growth?

Plant is looking strong and heathly! Starting to put off a sweet smell to it when I was defoliating some. Buds are starting to get their deep color to them and some nice structure. Plant is filling its bucket reaching out to all sides and now everything is starting to reach up as the buds as growing.

Buds are really starting to gain some weight and thickness to them. The plant as a whole is really filling out and getting very dark purple from the buds to the knuckles where she was topped. Going to be fun watching the next 2 weeks growth and thickening/ripening of the buds!

@HighTV, they are well worth it! Better lighting, my power bill has been down, healthier plants, and should last longer.

Love this grow! So great to find someone who has been successful topping / mainlining fastberry! I managed to stunt the growth of mine doing so. :( hopefully she'll pull through. I would love to see your last few weeks of flower and your harvest!
