Woke up, smoked some Mephisto freebie Skywalker x Forum Stomper out of a PHX bong and then went to the tent yielding my trimmers. Bruce got a haircut today above the sixth node. It took two cuts but I think both node 6’s future branches are viable we shall see. Strange brown spotting on lower leaves similar to what happens later in flower with Stonington blend, like a magnesium deficiency. Still thinking not going to make any moves as I wanted to test how the soil performs with just water and top dressings. Top dress is scheduled for tomorrow when I will have to water again. I did raise the light

Performed a leaf tucking to expose the lower nodes so they can hopefully grow up to the same level as the 6th node going for a nice even spread canopy

Posted this on another one of my threads but this is where I will review this grow in the future so am duplicating, plus hours later photos
1/2c SBPF added then watered in with ~1/2g

Increased light intensity yesterday with the aid of the Photone app. FCe3000 now at 100% intensity with a height of 17”.
The PPFD at the canopy is 691 or 63.6 DLI. I know the PPFD is within acceptable range but the DLI is a bit overkill with my 24/0 but I need the heat. The intensity at this stage is also important IMO as the lower branch nodes now get 200ppfd as penetration is better through the upper canopy. I haven’t been running my exhaust system either to limit heat loss, but today it has that dank smell similar to a greenhouse, so I turned venting on to low hopefully that lowers the 80% humidity without too much heat loss

Popped a new bean yesterday and it had a visible tail today

so I direct planted into a custom 6g tall. I took 2x 3g fabric pots and cut open the bottom of one

slid it into the other one

and sewed them together.

The depth is near that of my 20g pot so really this is looking at how depth changes growth. The seed was a freebie from a Linda seeds order, never heard of Blimburn so hopefully it turns out to be high test. Soil is reamended Stonington Blend with Stonington blend plant food, fishbone meal, and Azomite. Hopefully it’s not to hot I did add a solo cup of seedling starter to the top center of the pot so the initial root contact will be with fresh soil.

Did some leaf tucking. Turned off supplemental heat two days ago and tent sits between 75-78f. Humidity is at 80%, with venting on it drops to 50% so I think shutting it off is better for VPD? Bruce is showing nice branching and has a nice stretch going on even before preflower. Hoping to fill the tent so we need a good stretch

Leaf discoloration continues with brown spots advancing onto the aging fans. Perhaps going to abandon RO only as it clearly is the cause and the plant is still early enough and showing enough vigor to rebound. Reasonable right? This plant continues to impress me with its rapid growth despite apparent issues. Also I don’t have PH up and I tested every additive I have on hand yesterday and they lower the PH of my water. What I don’t get is I have been mixing up nutrients for my solo and when I checked their Ph yesterday it was 4.9 but that plant is 80+ days old how is it alive?

Bruce’s pronoun is officially she/her
I was hoping for another week before she threw some pistils

It rained yesterday so I watered with some fresh rain 1+ gallons

the Blimburn cream was a dud that germinated then stalled, atleast it was a freebie

Been watering with rain water. Yesterday node 6 seemed to be outgrowing the rest vertically so I topped both node 6’s branches at its first node.
