She’s looking healthy. Keep doing what your doing. I been in DWC buckets for the last few months but am itching to set my Dutch buckets back up. So much easier.

Every time I stop by I feel like I'm flying an airplane!
That plant looks very much on the mend. Well done.

My first grow I attempted to start 5 out of 10 seeds. This grow I used the remaining 5 seeds. So I expected this plant to grow to roughly the same size (seen below). I've made changes to my setup and don't have as much vertical space now...so...yesterday I did this...

This one should be much more under control now!

She still looks unhealthy. I had several issues going on and I'm not sure which one was causing the problem, but, hopefully it has been remedied.
First was pink mold in the humidifier. To remedy I cleaned out the mold and added peroxide to the tank. I'll be adding some with each refill from now on.
Next the drip emitters were too close to the rockwool...so I moved those back to the slits in the lid so the nutrient feed is further away from the roots.
The drip regulators appeared to be not regulating the flow so I replaced those as well. I also measured how much feed I'm pumping each cycle...right at 1 gallon in 15 minutes. I scaled back from feeding every 2 hours to every 3 hours.
The last possible issue I haven't remedied yet because we're under a boil order and I thought I'd wait until we're clear before replacing my filters in the RO system.
I also changed out the reservoir today so the nutrients should be at the proper levels.
She has started the transition to flower so we'll see how much she starts stretching. The last plant of this strain I grew started growing like an inch a day at this point so we'll see how she responds.

HiJust found this from another thread... @cbdhemp808 I'll be starting this regimen tomorrow
Unless you are expecting mold, or maybe see some initial signs of it, I don't think it's necessary. I would let your plant grow some more... see if it gets healthier. Mold tends to effect my plants in the flowering stage. If I see persistent signs of mold, I will start using this peroxide spray. Be careful with the ratio... too much peroxide can burn leaves.- Thread starter

I got a little over-aggressive with the super cropping and had to hack off one of the top colas...
but she appears to have recovered so I did some more...
I'll give her a day or two to recover and then I switch to the higher powered lights for bloom and I'll start the LST. I also discovered another issue...ants!!! Ants have invaded the tent. I had a small bottle of peppermint essential oil so I sprinkled that stuff all over the inside of the tent especially around the plant. Tomorrow I'll go pick up a bottle of mint spray. I forget the name of it but it works wonders for ants.

Looks pretty well recovered to me! And a line of diatomaceous earth around the tent will kill whatever walks through it.

She did respond well to the super-cropping:
Pretty puff balls! Won't be long before you'll need something to hold up the branches to keep them off the floor.

Yeah...she's got me excited!
I'll be leaving her on her own for a week while I'm out of town so hopefully everything goes well
