First grow, first grow journal (bubbleponics)

A bit of a late update, I took photos Sunday but forgot to post them. I've taken new photos, she's growing nicely from what I can tell. I'm planning on letting her grow a few inches taller, as well as train her to spread out a bit further. If you notice anything in the photos below, let me know!

Looks great to me, nice Job!

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've kinda been letting her just take her time growing. Initially I was thinking of letting her grow a few inches taller, but I realized that if she gets too much taller then she may end up too close to the light after the flowering stretch. I've attached photos, and as you can see in the last one, I can only raise the light a few inches higher without changing how it's attached completely.

Thoughts on how much longer I should wait until I switch her to flower and/or ideas on being able to raise the light higher?

Good evening my readers, I apologize for the delay, it has been almost three weeks since my last update. I kept meaning to post, but each time I didn't have my phone with me at the time, and lost track of time, especially with the (sometimes) nice weather. Speaking of the nicer weather, I had to get a dehumidifier for my tent to keep it under 50% RH.

In the time since I last posted, she's definitely switched to flowering. Not as much stretch (at least, vertically) as I expected but she's grown super bushy, to the point where I don't know how much I can safely trim off, especially since she's approaching 3 weeks since switching to flower. She's definitely showing mini bud sites, so I know I need to finish my last trim in the next few days.

As always, photos attached!

It’s been another couple of weeks, and the trichomes are starting to show. There’s a bit of nute burn going, so the next top up I’ll just put in some PH’d water. Even though I’m approaching week 6, I still had to do quite a bit of defoliation. It probably needs a bit more, but I was focusing more on the lower leaves with accessible stems. I’ll probably do a bit of trimming tomorrow on the upper canopy. As always, photos below.

I just realized it’s been a month since my last update. Flowering continues to go, and I’m not exactly sure when it’s going to finish. The trichomes are still clear, so at least a couple weeks more to go, since I’m planning to harvest when the trichomes are half amber. Definitely dealing with some kind of nute or light burn issue, but it’s slow enough that she should make it to harvest.

As always, photos attached.

Posting another update, this time with trichome pictures! I’m still having nutrient issues, but the trichomes are starting to switch so I reduced down to 1/2 tsp/gal FloraMicro, 1 tsp/gal FloraBloom, 1/2 tsp/gal CaliMagic, 2 ml/gal HydroGuard, 1 ml/gallon Mr Fulvic, Ph’d to 5.8-6. I’ve posted a help topic for the leaf issues, since it’s starting to affect the sugar leaves. Photos attached as always.
