@raustin No kidding you can actually see results. I am excited to see what this Open Sesame does. I’ll keep a running tab.

Yes, I’ve never seen such a positive reaction from a feed before, truly amazing. She also grew a half inch overnight.

@highcountrygal @raustin @Myfriendis410 I inspect my plants each day and record various pieces of data as well. It will be very interesting to see if a light dose of nutrition makes a difference. I will, of course, use the unfed population (3 plants) as a control to determine what conditions have caused which results.

@raustin I thought it was wishful thinking on my part now hearing it from you just makes it more believable. No pipe dream here for sure!!

@merlin44 just keep an eye on their growth when you transition to flowering. The flowering schedule seems to put a lot of pressure on them, and I wouldn’t be surprised if each one of those plants has a preference for more or less nutrients, just to keep it confusing! Sometimes you can get away with giving everyone the same. Just something to consider.

Exactly the sorts of details that I am trying to zero in on, @Covertgrower, thank you for putting a fine point on it for me. For better or worse, I am trying to learn as much as possible (without ruining my grow) on this first grow so that I can do a much better job next time. Between my experiments and all of the advice from all of you folks I am hopeful.

Growing strong! 
Just follow the nutrients schedule and try it out. I’m sure as much as you check them you can fix it before things get to bad. For the sake of science !!! Looking nice though I think you are off to a good start

@merlin44 I have no idea what is difference in our grow. We are about the same days above ground. Keep on going my friend. I am learning each and every day

Day 34, the plant that I topped has a little top growing from the node where I cut. It is spindly at this time and a bit misformed. Do let it grow? Do I cut it off?
Also, my plants seem to doing fine but the fan leaves are huge, 9" X 9" for some of them. Should these be left alone or removed to allow light to the secondary growth. I have been tucking them to expose the new growth as best I can.

My gut feel is to leave the fan leaves be as they are fueling the new growth.

Some pics would probably help, but I’m going to assume your new growth will be fine. As well you are most likely better off not removing too many leaves. If you feel that literally a couple of leaves would make a big difference, then probably not a big deal. Otherwise I would just try moving them around some to get best light exposure.

Those are fine in my opinion. Just hanging out collecting light, which should be exactly what you want them to do.

I do feel like I need to figure out what to change for my next grow. While my plants are all growing and looking fine, they are also fairly small compared to others at 5 weeks old.
They are all between 7 inches and 10 inches tall and nearly 22 inches wide. Weird!
Did I mention that they are 5 weeks old? Again, weird!
Within the strain (gold leaf) they are all quite similar in size and growth pattern. The White Widows are about half the size of the Gold Leaf plants. It doesn’t even seem to matter whether they have been topped, FIM’d or left natural, all the same height.
