Sour Crack Auto - Mephisto Genetics

Day 30: She is moving right along popping more pistils and continuing to grow. I believe she is responding well to the LST and nutes, although I seem to have accidentally splashed a few of the lower fan leaves when watering with nutes, thus giving them a brown/orange spotty smear type of look in some areas. I'm not too concerned as the upper growth looks healthy and great. Today I added more pipe cleaners to further train the shoots away from each other to open up the canopy a bit more, as well as took off a few of the larger, lower level fan leaves that were just sitting in the soil and blocking node sites. I have marked this week as veg because she is in preflower, but will mark next week as the start of flower. I am still feeding every other water with 1/2 strength FF Trio nutes, but I think I am going to back off on them in case the orange spots are nute burn. I will switch to just Tiger Bloom nutes in a week or two if the plant seems to be healthy. Day 32: Fed normal PH'd tap water today as I want to let her chill for a bit if she is in fact experiencing a problem. I've been taking 1 leaf off a day (I'm overly nervous about stunting her lol). She seems to be doing just fine and is still developing healthy upper growth. I also mixed up my next nute batch for next week which I'll list here when I feed her. Day 34: After asking some other growers I decided to bite the bullet and really take off a bunch of fan leaves. I think this will really benefit the plant in the end. I took off almost all of the large veg leaves and made sure that light could penetrate through the canopy to all of the bud sites that are developing. I also fed 1/2 strength Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom nutes today that I had mixed up prior. Lastly, I adjusted LST to pull all the shoots away from each other and open up the canopy.
