Nov 27th. 73 days above soil. 63rd day of veg.
Looks all good to me. To me, it looks as though the plain water flush was beneficial.
I'm not sure if you will be able to see in these pictures what I did. Since I'm trying to focus as much of the plants energy, evenly, on just the eight main colas, I want to limit side branching. So leaving the fan leaves, I removed a bunch of growth tips that are stretching and certainly becoming branches. My intent is to continue this practice into flower.
Ok, so this is the plan as I see it and why. I'm going to let the plant(s) go to 75 days from seed. On Wednesday I'll change the timer to a 12/12 schedule. Thursday the 30th will be the first day of flowering light schedule.
Again, my goal was to always end up with just the 8 flowers in a nice neat package. You'll see below, the framework of the green house shelf I'm using. The plan was to keep the plant within this frame of 2'x1.25', that's also roughly the dimensions of the light. The main plant is right on track for that plan but since the top rooted, I'll keep them together to flower.
Without the top, I'd have more real estate and could let the main plant go for weeks. But that brings me to my next thought. Since I plan to remove any side branching, there's not much point growing it. I'm thinking of the grows I've seen in solo cups...guys go 12/12 right away flowering before the plant runs out of root space. They end up with one plump bud on top of a stem...that's what I'm looking for, only 8 times...lol.
Also, as the plant stretches in transition to flower, the framework of the stand is there for support, I have bamboo cut to cross the shelf if required. Plus I was planning another plain watering before feeding again and that will work out well to introduce a new Transition formula of nutrients.

should be some nice colas.
