Impressions about plant

She's still growing strong. Looks great and steady growth. She got a Neem oil treatment today. Everything going as it's supposed to. Very happy.

This growth is a lot faster than I was expecting compared to my first grow. Leaves broadened out 2 inches last night and climbed up about an inch. Her stems are beautiful and thick. Stalk is also looking strong and thick. Keeping her nutrient diet as recommended. Her pot is still the same weight and moisture at the same level. My Blumat seems to be working quite well. She seems to be pulling in what she needs based on her age. So her intake is smoothly increasing. My only immediate concern is that she's not quite over the rim of the pot and only has a few inches more outward growth before she hits the edge. Hopefully, she will shoot up some tonight. I guess that's a happy concern. Lol

She has been growing super fast. I can't wait to see how she does next week when her growth burst starts. Moisture is at a perfect 32%, 60% at the bottom. Blumat seems to still be working quite well. We shall see what she looks like in a couple of days. Next week though...

She is growing so fast. One of her lower leaves is pressing against the side of the pot, so I raised the light a bit. She grew into a 19" light distance. Brought the light up 3 inches. Hopefully she will stretch a bit and clear the top of her pot. Still amazing looking lady. Beautiful coloring, thick stems and trunk, growing about 1/2" a day. Leaf production looks great.

She is still growing so very strong. Apparently I had two scheduled Neem oil treatments. Whoops. Did a very very slight bit of LST today. Hopefully as she grows, she gets pulled further to a level canopy and a very nice gradual LST. Time will tell. Logically, it should work.

Today, moonlight is following the tie down to a nice level canopy. I had to make a few adjustments, but all for the best. The lower fan leaves are super long and touching the sides of the pot. Not really sure what to do about that, but she should correct herself. Her feeding intake is still pretty smooth. Reservoir has used about half a gallon this week. Maybe she will end up finishing the gallon by the end of the week.

I swear this single tie down is doing something. She's following the tie down up and toward the side of the pot. I may pull her over a little bit more today. She is very bushy already. The wall of the fabric pot was bowing in so I used a soil meter to reinforce it. For some reason I have 3" of space from soil to rim. I'm sure there is a reason, but it makes training kinda problematic. Although, it definitely forces a steady LST as I have to wait for her to get up to the right height for another tie down.
