renbuds 11/22-Off to a quick start. 11/27-Leaves are a little droopy. I upped the nutes with Grow A & B after a couple of days. Might be a little stutter because of that. 11/27-Did a little mini-flush with RO water. 11/28-Mini-flush seemed to help a bit with the color and droopiness. Looks like she is getting back on track. 11/29-Watered w nutes. Decent first week. Leaves are green but not quite as fully formed as I like. Let's see how she does next week.

renbuds 11/30-As we enter week 2 of veg I'm looking to see if she is healthy enough to top or Fim after 14 days. 12/2-Watered with slightly more nutes today. Foliar spray w Cal Mag. 12/4-She's shaping up nice and healthy. Started first bit of LST by bending the main stem over a bit. Cal Mag foliar is working nicely to get a bit deeper green color. 12/5-Upped the nutes again. 12/6-Solid week of growth. Plant was looking healthy so I decided to FIM between 4th and 5th nodes. Hopefully she will recover nicely and we can have some more solid growth before she starts flowering.

renbuds 12/7-FIM area looks good. Plant showed no adverse signs from the cut. Growing nicely. 12/8-Watered today. Still no adverse effects from FIM. In fact, it looks like it spurred faster growth. 12/9-Area at the FIM cut is recovering nicely and starting to grow out. 12/11-Watered to runoff with increased nute load. Turned on the Autopots. Enabled PH automation w AC Infinity peristaltic pumps to keep PH between 5.6 and 6.2 range. Increased VPD target to 1.1 . Pulled the plant back a bit to get more light on the under branches. Lights set at 100% blue and 50% Red spectrum. 12/13-Great first 3 weeks. She's healthy and green. She handled the HST without any hiccups. She is drinking from the autopot now. The PH automation is working to keep PH between 5.6 and 6.0 . I started tucking the big leaves under some of the emerging branches. Next week I'll start some LST in earnest.

renbuds 12/14-Trimmed 4 large fan leaves and started LST. It's interesting to see how much different the plant looks after trimming just 4 leaves. I expect that she will recover quickly. I really like how easy it is to move the pots around on the Tray2Grow. It's very helpful to spread the light around by rotating the container. I think it helps as I try to manipulate the plant to get a wider canopy. 12/16-More LST bending branches. Starting to get wider. My humidifier is having issues and I'm having a difficult time keeping VPD in the right pocket. I think its my sign to moved up to the larger capacity (3X) humidifier which will save me some work refilling a couple of times a day. 12/17-Trimmed away a couple more big fan leaves. She's starting to shape up nicely as we approach pre-flowering phase. 12/20-Solid week of growth. Still no signs of preflower. Up to 8 inches tall. Tied down some branches and the canopy is starting to get some width and space between nodes. I like where we are at after first 4 weeks.
