This plant is a LA Confidential in 13 gallons of Dr earth and fox farm ocean forest soil mixed. I use Dr earth as my base ferts and supplement with down to earth stuff... ie: guano, kelp meal, alfalfa meal, langbeinite. I just started adding coconut water and aloe juice. I also use barley, barley extract and unsulphured molasses. Also hormex rooting hormone (vita B1), ascorbic acid (vita C). I just started using Tribus as well. It's too early to tell if the coco water, aloe juice and tribus will make a difference. My leaf tips are burning a bit but the plant looks healthy otherwise. I'm concerned it might be too much light but I'm not sure. Maybe Im over feeding something in the NPK realm. Oh, I also use fulvic acid and cal-mag. Lastly, I use Dr Earth's metabolic transformer. It might seem like I know what I'm doing but I don't really. This is my 4th grow and I'm still fumbling through it. I attempted to fim early but messed it up or it didn't work the way I wanted it to at least. I wound up topping her 5 times to get 32 colas. Is that too many for 1 plant? Does the stalk need to be thicker? Should I have kept it at 16 colas? She's in early flower, should I damage bud sites so only 24 colas develope? Is it better to have more bud sites or better to have less sites and focus on beefing them up? Which provides better yields?

I'd just like to add that I don't like to see your power bar hanging like that. the weight of the cords is on the plugs and over time the weight slowly cause your plugs to pull out of the socket. That not only exposes the male ends it loosens the connection which can cause arcing & heat build up...If you can't rearrange the power bar to sit flat then support the weight of the cords & regularly check your plugs to be sure they are well seated.....

The power bar is attached to the wall. Surge protected, lights are grounded and it's all right in front of my face. I look at it everyday. That's my laundry room

Nice plant! Even canopy and lots of bud sites, perfect IMO. Might get a little dense late in flower but with enough air flow I'd let her run. No clue about your nutes, sure one of the dirt guys will help you out.

Looks good I have a very similar single girl growing now and when I looked at yours and read the next comment on the level canopy I had a oops moment so I went in and bent my girl over more...I'd let spires grow with out flattening, it pays to read the posts here, it helps keep us on track....... thanks to jadins_ journey for posting the comment.

Can I ask what kind of lights those are? I'm looking for some good strip lights for vertical lighting on utility shelf corner posts

I'm looking for something for the lower buds as well. Preferably not hot and not TOO bright because of proximity. I'm looking for canopy penetration. I honestly don't know if it's worth the effort but I figure the plant does use the light so...
