Week #3-Dec 3 to Dec 9
12/5-Watered to runoff with increased nutes.
12/6-Trimmed bottom leaves from node 1. She is looking very healthy so I decided to FIM this baby between 4th and 5th node to control height and increase yield. Let's see how it works out.
12/7-So far she is showing no adverse effects from the FIMming last night. Watered to runoff with increased nute load in the water. No adverse effects observed, she is nice and green and the leaves are all well formed. So far so good.
12/8-Plant seems to have handled the FIMming without a hitch and growth is already starting at the area of the cut. The plant is healthy and growing more wide than vertical at this point. Once she starts going vertical I'll start some LST to get her 'shaped' up. I upped the nute load for secondaries a bit so we are now at about 1,060 ppm.
12/9-Watered to runoff with EC at 1.43. Trimmed a couple small branches under the canopy. So far its been a very routine and productive first 3 weeks. FIMming went without a hitch, the leaves are green and healthy, and the plant is how starting to grow vertical (up to 4.5 inches now). Looking forward to some even quicker growth in the next week.
@Dunnruss63, I can't wait to smoke some once she's been fully cut , dried, and cured. Getting the top branches down early is gonna get me an earlier preview! I'm betting its going to be really good. Thanks for posting. Cheers-Renbuds
