Oct 22 - start of week 4 and things are progressing well but slow. She鈥檚 poken out her 4th node now so we鈥檒l be pinchn er soon. Nutrient regimen is aggressive - so far no plain water breaks from feedings and it鈥檚 freakn me out a little. She seems to like it though and the drainage on the coco/purlite is crazy good. should be easy enough to rectify any lockout issues if they come up. Thanks again for taking a look and happy growing!馃憤
Oct 24 update - she鈥檚 really come along the past few days and while her stem is still real thin, she鈥檚 managed to sneak the entire 4th node past me unnoticed. We FIMMED today. No actual cutting just a modified pinch/crush only technique that leaves all new growth in place. Now we鈥檒l let er recover and see how she turns out. 馃馃馃I鈥檝e been running a nute feed every single watering (every other day) since start and decided it was time for a plain ph鈥檇 maintenance rinse. No reason, just preventative to rinse out minerals. Thanks for checkn er out馃憡.
Oct 26 update - 2 days post fim and her pinched node isn鈥檛 looking any better. YOU can definitely tell by the photos and new growth that it鈥檚 diverted it鈥檚 energy to bushing out. Back on the nutes and still lookn good - love the coco. THANKS for tuning in y鈥檃ll!馃憡
Oct 28 update - she looks as though she鈥檚 coming back around after the pinch. We鈥檒l see what develops - definitely some weird new growth coming up so it appears to have worked馃憣馃槑馃憤!
Background
This one is gonna be fimmed out and defo鈥檇 as a comparative to its manifolded kush sister. They鈥檒l spend a first week or so under a cfl assembly while the last harvest dries out in the cabinet. This is our 2nd grow of an NL strain and this one should be typical of NL in terms of resilience. That said, she鈥檚 a former cup winner so we鈥檙e hopeful for supreme quality this time around. 馃憤 Gonna jack up the nute shed. and supplements heavy throughout the grow in the hopes of really testing the limits of my grow space (approx. 2sq/ft). With the coco medium we鈥檙e hoping for that 20% bump in yield as well. THANKS for check'n er out
