STOMP STOMP STOMP

Welcome back to my Mephisto Forum Stomper grow! Nutrient solution is still quite low given this plants propensity to claw up and it also looks like this week she isn't really using a lot of nutes anyway, as runoff PPM has shot up at 584 PPM in and 780 in the runoff so I'll have to keep a bit of an eye on her. (Note: my water sits around 350 PPM out of the tap.) Day 21 - Height: 6" She's doing well, it's been a pretty hectic few days, relatively speaking... First up, I began feeding nutrients last week and despite keeping it at a low does of 1ml/l, she still began to claw on her newest leaves. I have dialed back on Grow nutes straight away and interestingly, looked up the Mephisto strain guide and it actually mentions that Forum Stomper needs a light touch at first with feeding, so that was pretty spot on. I'll continue to feed at 1ml/l, but rather than feed every other water, I'll toss in a few more plain waterings between new nutes I think. Secondly, she began showing pre-flowers right from about Day 19 which is pretty fast! I've stopped actively training her now and will let her stretch out as she is for now. Luckily I was able to get her into a good shape before that happened anyway, so it's all good. She seems like she's in a real hurry though! I'll probably have to do some defoliation but I'm going to let her off for a bit and see where she goes. Otherwise, everything appears to be going well, her leaves are a really nice, lush green and I really like the cabbage like crinkle effect they have. Really healthy look. Hopefully she'll put on some good stretch over the next few days and weeks before she hits flower! Day 24 - Height: 8" I know I said I would stop messing with the training now, but I went back in and opened up the middle of the plant a bit more as well as doing a fair chunk of defoliation. She's looking really good to grow out now though and from on I really will ler stretch up and see where she goes. Probably I'll just have to tinker with some of the new side stems. Hopefully you can see my training clearly enough in the pictures. As for feeding, still sticking to plain water this week and will probably have to do that until next week, when I'll try again with some half strength Grow nutes, as she shoul dbe hungry by then. You can see some of the clawing still from her last feed, she's definitely a sensitive one!
