Day 28: After a month of her staying pretty squat all things told, she's started stretching big-time the past couple days. Again, the early FIM and pushing her low-stress is looking like it's set her up for a lot of colas. The main stem is basically garden-stapled to the ground so she'll have a strong base to grow on. I noticed a couple very light browning spots on some lower leaves along with some tearing. I think that can be chalked up to a combination of overhandling and light deprivation, and maybe some local burns from getting fertilizer on her leaves. I gave her a full feed on Day 30 (per the FF feed chart) and she's taken it in stride so far, so I'm feeling pretty good about that guess. Every other diary here shows her thriving on nutes, so I'll stay the course for now. She also got a very light defoliation on Day 30. I want to leave her lots of green to work with, but she was lookin messy. The haircut uncovered two pretty prime sites and a third that could thrive if I keep it clear enough. Day 31: I took off any hidden branches that weren't going to grow into anything but popcorn, including two that I was giving the chance to grow into top sites... they couldn't compete. I'll take eight colas on my first go! Day 34: Scratch that, 7 colas. She got lollipopped on day 32--I picked the branches that were showing noticeable growth day to day and snipped the rest. She's been packing on height and mass already. With 15-20ish days left of stretch, I'm pretty optimistic about the yield I'm looking at. She responds to training like I'm talking shit about her. "That'll show 'em," she says after each snip.

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?
