New Grower Grow 3 - Whiskey Zulu - Twenty20 Mendocino (part of Grow&Show 2022)

Nice looking plant. And you've given yourself a project, within a project, within a project! Pump, timer, printing. Very cool stuff.

I think the only advice on the plant I might have is to try and supercrop instead of snipping the heads off. There are some guides that can explain it better than I. Essentially, roll the stem between your fingers to crush the support structure and it will bend over. Don't break or split the stem just make it floppy. The plant should stand it back up and form a "knuckle" at the site. This will give you more clearance and height without removing any of the potential bud sites. If the branch was going to get snipped the risk of the supercrop going wrong won't be any more of a loss.
 
Thanks. I'm not confident enough to try super cropping yet. The height issue is my own fault, as topped her a lot later than I should have. We live and learn.

Day 49

Her buds are continuing to grow nicely, and stretch has slowed.

Day 50

Last 2 litres of week 7 - 25% mix given by hand. As she's only had 5 days of this PK Boost mix (and seems to like it), I will wait until I switch to the week 8 mix and make another batch of week 7 to be started tomorrow.

Day 61

Changed to hand watering as the water pump has failed. Sent back for refund as the supplier is currently out of stock, and ordered another model.

Day 62

Finished her week 8 - 25% mix, made batch of week 9 - 25% mix and started her on that. She is getting more frosty and pungent each day, and the buds are fattening up nicely.

Day 64

Her Trichomes seem larger than on my previous grows, as I am able to use zoom on my cameras instead of using the microscope. The Trichomes are mostly clear at the moment, but I have seen a few that are cloudy, so all on track to be chopped in approximately 2 weeks.

This zoomed shot of a bud is showing approx 50/50 clear/cloudy trichomes.

I am hoping for a decent amount of amber trichomes for couch lock. Does anyone have any idea roughly how much longer she will take to reach the stage?
