Indoor B RICH'S bigger NL journal

lookin good.. those NL royal queen seeds??
im running those got 8 and seven of them already popped up and growing in like 30 hrs.
question whats the rubberbands doing??
 
The seeds are Vision NL and the rubber bands are a training technique i saw and wanted to try. Idea is to put the band on for a few hrs a day to expose the undergrowth to more light hoping for a more even canopy. Also tucking fan leaves out of the way as much as possible. In the end i hope to have a more even canopy than my past plants growing more like xmas trees.
 
Day 26: noticed her first pistils today. Think shes about to begin stretching a lot, have her under 4 23w cfls right now. Soon i think shes moving next to the t5 then ill keep 2 cfl on her other side, but for now the cfls give great coverage and i think are making her more bushy. Also going to start pushing her veg nutes till i notice a bit of burn. Got a new ppm meter to play with too

Day 28: i moved her up next to a t5 light with 2 23w cfls on her other side, today shes not looking happy and im not sure why. Light intensity is down very slightly from her move, her pot still feels heavy and my probe says she isnt dry yet. Gave her a foliar feed to perk her up, and it worked a little i think but something is still off. Im thinking she isnt used to the airflow from being raised up abruptly. Also noticed her stem is looking beastly? Not sure if its a good thing or bad thing, but her stem looks like a roided up weightlifters veins. Couldnt get a good pic cuz shes still a lil shrub, but does this look normal? My other plants stems have all been pretty even circles, this one looks all kinds of weird but im hoping its because shes strong and sending lots to her tops

In my opinion, em are healthy, happy girls! Steady as she goes!
 
Day 32: after 3 days of drooping, which i thought was overwatering due to change from smartpots to airpots, i decided to give her a good feeding since she didnt feel heavy. Gave her 2ml a+b, 6ml add.27, 1ml silica and 1ml calimagic. Mixed this into a gallon of spring water and ph was 6.3 so i watered her right through to runoff. Next morning she was perky and stretching. Shes looking great today, nice and even canopy, im hoping she keeps her shape, i think the tucking and rubber band have worked like i was hoping. Or close to it. Pics dont do her justice, loving her shape and structure right now

Day 40: shes in full stretch mode, putting on serious size daily. I keep lowering her so she grows up between a t5 and 2 23w cfl. Sunday i think im chopping my big plant then she will go under the led and t5. I think shes looking great, last feed was 3ml a+b, 6ml add.27, 2ml silica, 3ml calimagic, 3ml terpinator. Shes also gotten a few foliar feeds of organic rescue mist just cuz well free samples.

Your plant is looking great. Keep it up, I am subbed up and will be looking for more updates:kusht:
 
Day 49: i flushed her 5 days ago with 2 gallons of water mixed with mad farmer flushing solution and then 1 gallon of plain water. Yesterday she got her first flower nutes, i gave her 5ml calmag, 5ml terpinator, 10ml add.27 flower, and 5ml bloom booster. Next time ill exchange the booster for a+b and alternate through flower and slowly increase strength and frequency of water hoping to bulk her up.

She isnt huge but i think shes looking pretty good. I definitely noticed 2 phenotype of this plant and this is for sure the short bushy one. Also doing some room upgrades and added a 2nd 4' 4bulb t5. Still waiting on my way overpriced orca film to arrive before i start my next batch of plants.

It a looks like true beauty fair does buddy.
is there a little purpleness to it too, or is that just reflection from the photo?
I have a couple of nl seeds that popped over the last 24 hours, white label from sensi seeds, fingers crossed they'll turn out half as good as yours
