First grow--Pineapple Express Auto

Day 28: After a month of her staying pretty squat all things told, she's started stretching big-time the past couple days. Again, the early FIM and pushing her low-stress is looking like it's set her up for a lot of colas. The main stem is basically garden-stapled to the ground so she'll have a strong base to grow on. I noticed a couple very light browning spots on some lower leaves along with some tearing. I think that can be chalked up to a combination of overhandling and light deprivation, and maybe some local burns from getting fertilizer on her leaves. I gave her a full feed on Day 30 (per the FF feed chart) and she's taken it in stride so far, so I'm feeling pretty good about that guess. Every other diary here shows her thriving on nutes, so I'll stay the course for now. She also got a very light defoliation on Day 30. I want to leave her lots of green to work with, but she was lookin messy. The haircut uncovered two pretty prime sites and a third that could thrive if I keep it clear enough. Day 31: I took off any hidden branches that weren't going to grow into anything but popcorn, including two that I was giving the chance to grow into top sites... they couldn't compete. I'll take eight colas on my first go! Day 34: Scratch that, 7 colas. She got lollipopped on day 32--I picked the branches that were showing noticeable growth day to day and snipped the rest. She's been packing on height and mass already. With 15-20ish days left of stretch, I'm pretty optimistic about the yield I'm looking at. She responds to training like I'm talking shit about her. "That'll show 'em," she says after each snip.
