Day 4 Update:
A little too much stretch at the start I think, so lights have been dropped a few inches to try and stop the seedling from falling over due to being too tall.
The NL is also a touch paler than the others, so I manually top-poured some of the nutrient solution in case it is not hitting the water yet.

Welcome aboard, and thanks!
If you check my sig, the link is for a full journal.
This one is just for one of the 4 plants I am growing

Day 9 update:
The NL is still slightly pale, so the MegaCrop has been increased to 1.1g per litre

The taproot has also just poked it's head out of the netpot, so a growth spurt should be incoming within the next few days

Day 17 Update
Coming along nicely now and starting to bulk up.

Variegation is making the leaves look blotchy still and I have no idea whether or not it will grow out of it.
Starting to look like I was overfeeding a touch - the variegation makes the leaves seem paler than they actually are, so I have backed off on the strength of the megacrop slightly (all 4 of my plants are showing overfeeding symptoms).

Day 20.
Topping day !!
Bulking out even more now, and it is now time to take the scissors to her head:

Day 30.
Significant growth now.
She seems to be growing out of the Variegation.
The bondage has begun today, so here's hoping she responds well to it
Still no sign of pre-flower yet though

Bushy, bushy...

After some and some prettying up:

Plenty of room and light now for the side branches.
Let's see how it goes
