Week 5: The plant seems really happy and healthy so far but I noticed a little bit of lightness starting to come in between the veins of the fans leaves that may have been a slight CAL/MAG deficiency. I picked up some CAL/MAG Plus by botanicare and supplemented at 50% recommended dose just in case. I've been continuing with the leaf tucking as it is an absolute necessity at this point but I've also gotten started with LST training using command hooks stuck to the lip of the hydroton and some silicone rubber bands. The silicone bands seem to be doing really well so far and pull the branches gently while not cutting into them either.

@ArucambaAutoflowers297, Yes she is! I measured her at about 10 inches at the end of last week, but I’m going to have to check the res tonight and probably do some more defoliation as she constantly fills in any gaps that I open up. Thanks!

looks like you found a nice phenotype their. Looks really good. it kind of looks similar to the female I have growing in my journal. Im also defoiling and what not . sometimes it droops for no reason while others look okay . I have removed most of the larger fan leaves as well

@JDwculture, Thanks! and yeah I'm really happy with the way she's coming along so far. But I know what you mean, mine's a bit temperamental about being handled and will droop for a bit right after leaf tucking or LST, but she always bounces back and has been growing like a beast so far.

Well you definitely got this girl dialed in. I have some of these beans I am fixing to pop. I know defoliation on Autos is scary and you took the right approach doing a little and seeing, it is definitely working, whatever your doing. Nicely done. I will be checking in on this for sure.
