Hey guys, this is Susan, she's my first ever woman. She's been my experimental plant whom I've practiced LSTing on and learned from my mistakes. We're now in the final stretch and here's how she's looking...
'
I just removed a few of the worst leaves, but am afraid she's been losing too many. I trimmed her a good amount to expose the middle area as I'm using CFL's and as much light penetration as possible is a must. I was under the impression that this was due to a Mg deficiency, and since have watered her once with a mixture of 1/2 tsp Epsom salt and 1 tbsp of molasses, there hasn't been much improvement and her leaves continue to die off. I'm starting to worry that by the time she's done she may not have enough fan leaves to produce. My other two plants are looking phenomenal and over the next few weeks I expect them to put on most of their weight, as I have just begun to start seeing trichomes. Exciting stuff!
One of my novice mistakes with Susan was forgetting to remove the stakes that held her down... I know. Noob mistake. Anyways the trunk outgrew the stake and after the shock of finding this wore off I quickly removed it only to find quite a large indent where the stake was. I think this might be where some of my problems lie, as below that spot growth is great, but above it is streaked with red stems. I'm worried and need some reassurance here. Please give me it lol!
