Hey Sar....

From everything you've mentioned, I think that area will fill in nicely...

Once she starts grabbin hold, she'll take off...

Looks great by the way!!

Picture update. Probably going to flip to flower in about a week.

Nice Come Back Your in the GAme for SUre .... Great Job

Update.

She filled that 3x3 out pretty nicely. I wouldn’t worry about missing the original 16-top plan now. 11 healthy tops and a full screen is better than forcing a formula and stressing her, especially in living soil.

From the video she looks like she recovered well and is already setting flower sites. I wouldn’t top or do any heavy stripping now. Just keep tucking anything that wants to outrun the net, and maybe clean a little shaded junk under the screen once stretch settles. The middle is getting dense, so airflow is probably the bigger thing to watch from here.

Top dress was a good call, just let the biology do its work. Keep the soil evenly moist, not soaked/dry/soaked, and don’t chase quick fixes unless the older fans start showing a real pattern. Right now she looks like she’s doing what you wanted after the rough training start.
