I still have cotyledons... Its day 19. They are really green still too don't seem to be even interested in leaving.

I think I will let the top grow wild like you said and then cut it once its longer.
I have plenty of nodes to cut back to from it. But they are so tight I think the clone would be too short? Seems like most people want 3" long clones.
You consume any of that SSH I always thought that sounded like some dank.

Im wondering should I be Ph adjusting my ferts.

I use RO water. And Right now im using an organic fert and superthrive,
and it takes ALOT of ph Up to get to 7.0
I mean like 2-3 tbsp of GH Ph up. Thats just for a half gallon of fluid.

Is this normal? Am I missing something?

 

[MrCopyZ]

Getting really Bushy. Like 1978.

Pictures from today after LST.

Here is my Log. On todays date it says I moved the plants up to the heatshield. This was after I took pictures.

Date Stage Water Y/N Fertilizer Comments

14-May Vegetative N No Leaves forming at most node regions! Wut wut. Trained the top with another twist tie.
15-May Vegetative Y Ph 7.0 Y. 3 ml SuperThrive and 1 Tbsp John's Recipe New growth at nodes grew a lot last night. Watered and fed at 6am. Pot was pretty dry.
16-May Vegetative N No Did more LST. Looks like Branching at 2 diff sets of nodes or 3 maybe. Looking good. Leaves taking some damage from chicken wire.
17-May Vegetative N No Getting hard to move all the leaves outta the way. I think I have like 6 branches coming up + my main cola which doesn't seem to be growing as much. But its not getting much if any light because of fan leaves. Think I will need water tomorrow.
18-May Vegetative N No Nothing done.
19-May Vegetative Y Ph 7.0 Y. 3 ml SuperThrive and 1 Tbsp John's Recipe 7:10 am Undid Lsting for watering today (didn't wanna get leaves too wet) Noticed that main cola is showing yellowing. As I figured it hasn't been getting much light and was being stunted. After water retied 1 LST band only.
20-May Vegetative N No Did nothing.
21-May Vegetative N No Things are looking good, growing up against glass. Just letting her grow a while before attempting LSTing the new branches that formed from all the nodes.
22-May Vegetative Y RO no Ph Y. 3 ml SuperThrive and 1 Tbsp John's Recipe She looks like a monster! Put a couple more LST bands on today but its very difficult because of how insanely bushy this girl is. Prolly need water tomorrow. Watered in the evenin about 6:30.
23-May Vegetative N No Added another LST band. Lots of branching going on. Removed a couple fan leaves that were in the way of nodes and new branch growth. Main cola is recovering though tips are brown on the ends.
24-May Vegetative N No Added another LST band. Branches are getting longer so I am able to bend them further to expose more node areas. More brown tips showed up on some new growth away from the main cola. I removed a board spacer.
25-May Vegetative N No Added another LST band.
26-May Vegetative N No Removed all LST bands and readjusted all of them. Was able to move plant closer to heatshield because of this. So now most of the plant is pushed up against the glass. (Not like in pictures)

And this brings us to...
Day 28 Since we broke earth.
Day 20 of Vegetative.

On the company website they say this plant doesn't stretch much during flower and could benefit from a good veg period. 20 day veg in such a small space seems like alot to me. But then I look and I have 3 inches of spacers under my plant so... I am just going to keep playing it out. I also decided against topping, supercropping, and cloning. I am not sure how well this plant would react to me doing that and right now I would rather do a smoke report and then decide if I want to continue growing this strain.

Would love to hear some feedback.

If I have brown tips on my leaves should I snip the tips of the leaves that are affected?

nvm

That does not sound right. I use R/O water and I use GH ph up too. I use Advanced Nutrients Sensi grow & bloom. I use about 1.5 ml of the ph up to raise my PH to 6.3 for 10 liters.
Now we are using different nutrients, but that amount seems high for the quantity of water.

Are you going to flip it soon?

Well my nutes are organic and drop my ph through the floor.

Without nutes i can move the ph easily in the RO water(doing 5 gal at a time). But once I add the Nutes It takes forever to get the ph back up.

Dr bud told me he doesn't PH his nutes. So I will try this and see if their are any ill effects.

I really want to wait for preflowers. According to my growers bible this is supposed to be around the 4th week of veg. So far she doesn't seem too out of control and It really feels like I have alot of room in their still.

Flipped it today. Also switched to GH ferts + superthrive. And because I have switched ferts I can easily Ph my water again. Also found an inch worm on her. Little bastard musta barely showed up cause he had only taken a couple bites off a little fan leaf. Also swapped 2 of the 6500k bulbs for 30w 2300k bulbs. so I have 60w of 2300k and 23w 6500k

Good to hear. Nice not to have to use so much PH up to get it dialed in. Looking forward to seeing the results.
A question on the PC sized cabinet. Could you locate everything but you lights and fan outside the case? Completely clear the interior for more growing space. If you had the case located on a desk, you could remotely run all your stuff to it from inside the desk. Still would be stealthy and you might have a bit more room. Might take more than its worth though. The micro grows amaze me. Good job.

27-May Vegetative N No Nothing done.
28-May Vegetative Y RO no Ph No Watered today. Shoulda watered yesterday but things happen. Couple of lower fan leaves are drying . Lowered from heat shield. I think lack of water and being that close may have burned a couple small leaves. In the PM pulled off about 5 fan leaves. A few were blocking node areas and some were just dieng because they didn't get any light. More growth forming at lower node regions and plant is starting to spread out a little more.
29-May Vegetative N No Did nothing.
30-May Vegetative N No Did nothing. Temps been warmer outside lately. But things seem very stable in pc. Not really seeing any signs of heat stress.
31-May Vegetative N No Did nothing.
1-Jun Vegetative N No Things are looking good. I think I have like 11 colas. Wut wut. Added a little bit of well water. Needed to water but didn't have time to do it right.
2-Jun Vegetative Y Ph 6.0 Y. 2 ml Flora Grow/Bloom/Micro Switched to flower. Swaped out 2 of the 6500k bulbs for 30w 2300k bulbs. Watered and began feeding flowering ferts. Also lowered and lst. Removed a couple fan leaves. Caught an inch worm eatin a fan leaf.
3-Jun Flower N No Rotated her. Swaped out last 6500k bulb for 23w 2700k bulb.

4-Jun Flower N No Looking good. I think I have preflowers.
5-Jun Flower N No All new terminal growth is lime green.
6-Jun Flower Y Y. SuperThrive 6 AM: The new growth is darkening up maybe it was just my eyes or something. Pot was dry so I watered. Looking good I definitely have preflowers. 7:30 pm Added 5 or so LST bands She was getting taller and shading a lot of nodes. Needed to add more bands but didn't have enough time. Also the bud growth is lime green. Maybe this is just how the night time growth looks before morning. Got up to 90 ambient room temps. But this is at night so temps are much lower when lights are on.
7-Jun Flower N No 6 AM: Added 5 or so more LST bands. Still lime green but not as bad.
8-Jun Flower N No 6 Am: Can't even tell LST was yesterday. Already filled out. Looking lovely.
9-Jun Flower N No 6 AM: Soil is still pretty moist. Added 6 or 7 LST bands and removed 1 of the old heavy duty ones I had coiled around in their. Removed a few old dead fan leaves.
