Started this week off with a hurrcut on Day 14. Lots of advice said to wait for four nodes, but she's been healthy so far and I wanted to give her as long a veg stage as possible after the FIM. We'll see if this blows up in my face I guess. Following up on that... she recovered enough to start growing again after one light cycle. Smaller fan leaves added another ridge overnight, and bud sites showed some progress too. Looks like the early fim paid off... rad. Once I felt good about that I tied her up at about 50 degrees to start easing her into low stress. Also learned a bit about mutations, so I know now that some of the funky leaves I'm seeing are ducksfoot mutations. Fun thing to get on my first grow! And finally, I was kinda paranoid about the purplish stem, but looks like that's just normal to this pheno. Ending off the week, put her on the FF soil feed chart. Will be keeping an eye on her to make sure she's happy, but from everything I've read, PE's supposed to be able to take a fair amount of nutes. As far as the LST goes, the main stem is basically resting on the soil, so basically ended up with a light supercrop-ish situation. The early FIM is giving her a crazy-thick canopy with branches on branches already showing, so I'm gonna let the canopy stretch for a few days before picking training back up

How do yall clear runoff from your drip trays? I'm currently pulling my one flowering plant out of the tent to water and drain, but that's gonna suck if I try to scale up to the five I'm allowed."There HAS to be a better way!"

There is a better way, get a pump and some tubes and place the tubes in the trays, after about 20/30 minutes after watering turn it on and it will suck the water into a disposal container. Hope it helped, if you have automated irrigation you can just time the pump to that time after the watering. Hope it helped and if it did plesse pick my answer its for grower of the month contest. I really would appreciate the fastbuds merch they have as a prize .

Love your Day 55 comment regarding taking the "middle road" on the debate related to flushing. Anytime growers forget that participating in Nature's cycle is a privilege and not a mad rush to squeeze an extra couple grams by super-stressing is a loss to them. Stressing out to help create something made to help us relax is a contradiction in terms. Well spoke Friend.

@AuldKelt, I appreciate it! I started this grow nervous about succeeding since it was my first time, but I'm finding that stress was pretty unwarranted. Like you said, we're growing to provide ourselves relief, so why undermine that?
