A little after the first dose of nutes, I had noticed slight yellowing of the tips which I had thought was nute burn, so last fertigation I kept it at about 1/3 recommended, and now that she has stretched up and I can see everything a little better, I noticed this rear fan leaf

Looks like what i thought was nute burn was probably slight P def and now the stretch has brought it on hard
I'm thinking a 2/3ish recommended dose of my veg this next fertigation, and see what happens, probably switch to flowering nutes after that anyway, maybe I should start putting a shot of molasses in my water only days, I think that has a little P among other goods?
And as planned, we are 4 weeks in so...

look who showed her, unfortunately capped, little head this afternoon
Hopefully I can pop it off no harm and keep it going.
This was the first time I have tried straight into final pot rather than my germ pad, still shotglassed over night and pre-soaked the pot, and I dug out a small cup sized hole and filled it with my seedling mix,
Simply extra worm poop and perlite added to regular mix to lighten it up, castings are amazing,
Anyway, so far so good
not sure which I prefer,
I'm thinking I just wont water the pot this week, unless of course she starts to droop, I noticed with this first plant all that composted manure and ewc in my mix stays damp much longer than outside, until the plant is actually drinking it between 2 and 3 weeks.
Happy growing everyone
