I have 3 left 👊

My gallon of CalMag showed up too, so that's nice.
 
She seems to have responded well enough to the topping and that 4th node still looks really good. I've stopped top-dressing because I'm not impressed with the root production. Still just a lonely dangler in the water. Maybe I dropped the level too soon?

Tent: 79-82° at 62-65% rh
Water: 270 tds, 5.7 ph at 72°

I do. I probably overdo it a little.

Me just talkin' out of my ass I'd say by continuing to top-feed, she stopped looking for water and just hunkered down in the netpot.

Nice. Morphology is neat. Once these new shoots grow up a bit, I'm gonna take those wonky lower leaves.
 
Gave the ol' girl a new batch of nutes. She's still looking pretty. I think we're on the 29th day from sprout. A little slow going but I think were about to take off.

Anyway. Here's what's in the water..

She looked like she might be asking for a little more light, also. I didn't raise the intensity but I dropped it down to 30" above the canopy.

That's the environmental chart for half a day. Red is temperature. Blue humidity, and Green for VPD.

lol.....really? ...you keep track of that stuff? I'm more into smoking, watching them grow and hoping for the best....lol....I've never had a cell phone so apps that do that are out of my league.

I set the buffer this round and it consistently bounces 3 degrees and 3 percent humidity. Close enough to call stable.

This is just the charted data. It also controls all the heat and humidity keeping the environment stable for me.

Alita brand. Smoke and Steam always bring up this brand when someone has an air pump question. It's nearly silent.
 
I took off the lower crooked and wavy fans. 6 in total. 4th node still looking great. New growth coming in fast. I'm pleased.

I almost forgot how exciting it is watching these things take off. My last plant was such a dud.

Here's Eileen.. standing up straight these days

She is doing so much better bro 👊🏼
Id have to agree shes getting herself into high gear.

There's one fan that will be sticking out oriented vertically every night. It slowly rotates throughout the day. Maybe too much light. Maybe she's still got some of those weird growth characteristics like the ones I snipped. Either way it makes me kinda giggle when I peek in and see all the leaves laying perfectly flat and then there's this one oddball.

I've been bumping up the light 1% per day this last week and we're at 16% today. Leaf temps have been 78 every time I've checked. Water's at 71-72 with 350ppm. No tip burn yet so I'm thinking she might be a hungry one.

I may or may not flip the res this weekend. Weekly res changes seem like a smart way to keep the ratios in check but biweekly should be fine. First grow, I ran the same res for a month or so at a time. I have no problem burning through nutes at this point. I might make the switch to dry nutes next grow and I've barely touched these gallon jugs. I guess we'll find out.
 
6 weeks from sprouting she's looking good. I did end up changing the res last weekend and bumped her up to 430ppm. I think she's loving it and may do another change this weekend. She might wanna see 480+. A little epsom dose with a bump in the nutes could bring us to 500. I think she'll handle that fine. To be continued.

I've been folding over her main tops and decided I'll drop the table on her today. She's been growing fast! I set the screen at 7 inches and will weave the 4 main stems towards the corners. Not quite a CG trademarked SCROG but this is the route I've chosen.

Light is 24 inches above the screen at 18%

You thinking of working the light up to higher power?
How much longer do you think you will veg for?
I like the net and how you built it to be added to. :cool:(y)

Thanks steam. I had it up to 20% and got some pretty bad tacoing going on. Brought it down to 17, 18 now, and she's looking better. Will continue 1% per day.

We have plenty of bud so I'll veg until she fills the screen. I'm thinking that's another month or so. 2 and a half from sprout.
 
Hell yea Grump~!
:rock:
