Moby Dick - 1 plant

Sept 21 - 49 - chill Sept 22 - 50 - 1 1/2 gallon 6.11PH 1.12PPM, runoff 6.33PH 473PPM - defoliated pretty heavily again so she looks pretty mangled, she needed it bad again and this will be the last one until week 2ish flower for the final. Tons of little crap branches popping up and tons more fan leafs blocking more new growth that needed to be gone. Light is actually getting through much much better now. Topped a few more sites as well and took a dozen or so clones. Raised light to 30 inches from canopy. I've been stressing her out a bit too much over the past couple weeks and she's been really droopy (could be N toxicity) so gonna chill until flip next week. Put her back on Cal-Mag Xtra for the remainder of her life and upped Silica. Canopy will probably be pretty jacked up when i flower but oh well, i tried. I'd let her fill out the canopy a bit more but worried about her getting root bound, regret not running a 10g pot now. Sept 23 - 51 - perked back up, staggering feeding seems to be going better at the moment. Slight discoloration on some fan leaf tips. 4 more days of slight tucking then flip. I've made a few mistakes during mid veg that i see now. Main mistake being clipping some of the middle branches that i should of kept for the middle of the canopy as it's hard to see but there isn't a whole lot of tops there compared to around the outside of the plant and not defoliating well enough. I also should of been more active in topping after initial 5th node top as i waited a bit too long to top more, i topped quite a bit just not early enough. Alsoooooo should of been more vigilant in defoliation as i left her for a few weeks extremely bushy on the interior which basically is why i waited so long to continue topping. Despite all this i am pretty happy regardless as i expected more issues. Oh well, this has been a pretty good learning experience so far and she's been good to me. Sept 24 - 52 - 1 1/2 gallon 6.29PH 1.02PPM, runoff 6.14PH 563PPM (barely much runoff) Sept 25 - 53 - 1 1/2 gallon 6.20PH 1.03PPM, runoff 6.30PH 863PPM - she needs defoliated again...thirsty girl - Not gonna lie i love how fast she bounces back but i'm hating how quick she bushes back out, i even raised the light before to try to get her to push out more but meh.. Sept 26 - 54 - change of plans, i couldn't take it anymore and i was super worried about airflow problems and stressing her during flower. Removed the trellis so i could remove a literal crap ton of leafs and a few lower branches that wasn't getting anywhere and immature growth. I tried to go up each individual branch as best as i could. I will probably thank myself for this later despite the current stress she's getting. Still probably gonna flip this coming week despite the stress and stunted growth from this but whatever. Sept 27 - 55 - 4 gallons of 6.04ph'd water (base water is 162PPM) to check things out before flip and switch to flowering nutrients, 2 gallon runoff 1 6.20PH 1.11PPM, 2 gallon runoff 2 6.19PH 1,08PPM A bit of what i am assuming is salt buildup been starting to show up over the past week on the bottom of the pot since i'm pretty sure it's not mold, temps been steady + humidity has been great (picture) - need to lower feed amount a bit especially since signs are showing on some leaf tips. Gonna flush again tomorrow with just water then start bloom nutrients the day after. See you next week for the inevitable mess up but hey, gotta learn somehow.
