Indoor First grow redux

[baked in the bluegrass]

Day 35- no pics just yet, just me and all these words, words, words!
Gorilla blue is chuggin along, she is all gangly and stretchy, packing the pistils on and trying get outta the end of preflower and into flowering mode. Shes close i think.
So im near the halfway point in gb's grow cycle i think. I think breeder info estimates 10 weeks. She has been a joy, in fact both of my gals have been pretty easy(effed up early growth aside) and i count myself lucky. Havent had any signs of deficiencies or lockout. Havent overwatered yet. I think its mostly luck of the draw but yeah these gals have been good to me so far!
Hell, if neither plant made it to chop ive still come out a winner. Ive learned quite a bit so far and ill use that on the next round!
Deets and stuff- temps and rh are spot on, gb is 14 inches from her 65w cob and seems to be okay with it.
She got 2 liters of mc today, mc at 3/4 strength, with a touch of elemental.
I have not done any runoff yet and i dont know that i will.
As of now im not even planning on doing a real flush at the end. My thought is to just start pulling back on the mc strength the last couple weeks until she is back on water only till the end. I want this girl to have all the extra oooomph she needs to cross that finish line.

Gb day 35- a lil shot of one of her tops. I think shes in the stretch now.
Nute wise shes on megacrop v1, just started 3/4 strength feed. Ive also used a touch of elemental for calmag. Shes getting fed every watering, usually every 2 days.
I did raise her light up an inch or so, i may have psyched myself out but ill adjust tomorrow if necessary.

Day 36- gb is blowing up! She has recovered from her hair cut a few days back and shes stretching for that light!
I am a big fan of defoliation, i dont cut without a plan of attack but i sure do love to snip those leaves. Best part, i snip and she grows more!
So its been cool to have the 2 plants going, getting to see how different they are, and grow! Having that freaky deaky white widow in the closet with her sure makes gb look even better lol.

Day 37- gb is gettin bushier by the day, gonna need that haircut come sunday/monday.
All is mostly well, i did however notice what i think is a lil nute burn on some of her newer growth.
Im not worried, i did just up her mc and added the elemental as well so i may have just given her a lil more than she was ready for. I have been feeding her real lightly.
Plan of attack will be to use plain water next feed, followed by a stepped down feed of mc with no elemental. If it gets worse then ill freak out and start nervous posting lol.
Ill toss up a pic tomorrow.
Unrelated to gorilla blue, im toying with the bubble bucket/hydro type grow dor the next round. Ive been babbling about in my other grow journal. Well, now im stuck on the fence again cause i kinda wanna go the autopot route.
That might be a better route, ill be fresh off the soil and coco loco grows so it wont be as different as full on hydro.
Course i may just give in to the bug and get me an autopot and a bubble bucket.

Day 38- ah gb is looking lovely this morning, all bushy, future budsites are stretchy and shes smelling strong this morning. Its not a marijuana smell yet but very green with that fake sweetener smell.
So i got a pic of the two lil burnt tip spots. They havent gotten any bigger and there arent any new spots since i noticed these two spots.
Again, not real worried, this coincides with this last round of mc being upped, and the additional calmag.
Ive diluted the mc a lil further, rechecked ph to make sure thats not gonna be an issue, and its 6.4. Plan of attack is to keep watch for new signs, skip the next feed and go straight h2o, then resume mc feed.
I do have a loose schedule im following but the main thing is im trying to go light as possible on the nutes. Id like to see the plant react, see if i cant start reading the plant better.
Anywho, heres that shot of gbs little leaf tip burns. Ive got my eye on them!

Snap ive gotten my days effed up on one of the last couple pics, ill fix that so im nack on track. Anywho, i finally measured gb, and shes standing 12.5" tall.
Shes over 2x as tall as her grow sis white widow who is currently flowering and stands at 5" tall.
The 2 girls are definitely a study in contrast!

The blue looks good man growing tall and going to make for a great harvest

That would be awesome, but really any harvest would be a great harvest!
Shes a few hours away from getting scalped, ive got my eye on another 10 leaves or so, they gonna get cut tomorrow
