Weekly Temperatures
The humidifier has been full when I checked for the past two days, which means Emmy's now making enough humidity by herself. You can see the boost in temperature, too, without the humidifier cooling it down.
Emmy still isn't drinking as much as I'd like. She's finally up to a liter every day now, and in the last two days has really seemed to pick up the pace. I think her roots have finally hit the bottom of the bucket. She's been in her SIP for two weeks now, so the GeoFlora I put in there is mostly used up. Especially with her starting flower, it's time for more nutrients.
I won this Supercharged kit in a contest last year from @Remo Nutrients , one of our fantastic sponsors. I've heard a lot of great things about them, so I'll be finishing up this grow with Remo.
Yesterday I mixed up 5g of Remo nutrients week 1-4 flowering nutes. I have them in a 5g bucket with a couple of airstones keeping them moving. I fed Emmy 2L right away, and I'll use this to feed her for the next few weeks.
Emmy has had enough of this veg stuff and is ready to flower. I switched the @VIVOSUN AeroLight to flowering mode this weekend and lowered it to 14# away. She's at 40DLI now. I'll max her out at 45DLI, but I want to get her to stretch a little more first.
Emmy's not nearly as large as I would like her to be at this stage, but she's healthy and has a LOT of bud sites. She's still barely 4" tall, but every time she tries to grow taller I just pull her to the outside. She has so many side nodes I've had to make new CarHooks. I've removed some leaves the last couple of days, especially upper leaves growing toward the middle. It's really helped expose her interior, and she's reacted very well by growing new nodes & leaves. She's growing much faster now, at least a node every day. I'm hoping she's hitting her stride and is ready to show me some stretch!

Here's a bonus GIF made using stills from the last 9 days. From 4 to 40 tops, and still only 4" tall!
Emmy: Just when I thought I was up he pulls me back down!
LKA: Mwahahaha!
Great Remo showcase going on in there.

She coming along nicely @LKABudMan
Just caught up excellent journal, very informative.
I may do a couple SIP plant over the summer, I still have decided, but I am considering that over just soil.

Yes, pretty soon I'm going to have to let her grow taller. But not today
Thanks Shed.Great Remo showcase going on in there.

Thanks Tok.
For me it's a no-brainer, as long as you're growing in a container. It's better growth and easier and quicker to water/feed. I bet you could grow some monster photo SIPs outside.
Master stick work BudMan!

Emmy's really picking up the pace. Yesterday I didn't update her LST at all and just let her go. Today she was bushy. She had a lot of interior branches that needed CarHooks, but I didn't have any more. So I changed the outside LST out for binder clips and wire. I used the hooks I removed to pin down some interior branches. I also got underneath and removed a few suckers and shaded fans.
She's full in flower now, so I'm not sure how much more LST I'm going to do. Is it time to just let her grow?

#VIVOSUN #SmartGrowSystem #LoveWhatYouGrow
I say let her grow!
I'd say just keep the original main tops down for a while while the inners get stronger. I find that the plant still recognizes them as tops and makes them bigger to the detriment of lower/inner buds.

Thanks Shed, that makes sense. So you're saying let them grow, unless they get taller than the others.
Yea, I guess it's time to see how tall she can get.
I'd say let the middles grow and get taller than the end flowers. At that point I'd keep the outside ones secured but not make any other move to keep them flat. As the plant fills in in flower you can untie the outsides and see if they spring back above the rest. If they do then you can pull them back to level canopy.

I haven't done anything in this tent for the past two days except take pictures. Emmy hasn't needed anything and seems perfectly happy with the @VIVOSUN Smart Grow System taking care of her.
I filled her res on Feb 1 (two days ago) and today there is still a little bit left in there. I'm going to take this chance to let it dry up and I'll fill it up tomorrow. Her LST hasn't needed any updates and her canopy is still pretty even. So I'm just letting her go.
Hopefully she still has a couple of weeks of stretch. I'll keep the Remo nutrients coming and make sure her canopy stays as even as possible. Time to stack up some flowers Emmy!

She seems ready and willing to do just that BudMan!
I like your use of the fat rubber thingies with the binder clips! Do you have a name for that invention? If not, you can get one here: GDBsGotNames.com.

The fat rubber things are thick coated wire. I've just been calling it LST
