Is it too late to FIM?

Edit: I read the link you send and the recommendation is by the 4th or 5th nodes, I’m right on time

Yep, I think you’re right where you need to be. FIM away

Hopefully she doesn’t get mad at me for FIMming her. Misted her with some rainwater after as a peace offering :laughing:

Day 21. She looks happy, newest fan leaves grew out a bit last night. Still to early to tell if I FIMed her correctly.

Day 22. Pistils are growing I think. One of her leaves had a spot in it not sure what’s it means. P.H is 6.2



Looks like you may have just splashed something on the leaf. Just carry on and watch for more.

Gotcha, I’ll have to be more careful next time. Not sure what it could’ve been.

Day 23. Hope everyone had a happy Turkey day! She got burned from the light, to be honest I’m expecting that to happen a bit more due to the size of the grow space. No biggie she’s a trooper. Still not sure if I FIMed right, can anyone tell?

Day 24. Her stem is a lot thicker now, I’ll keep that support stake in till mid next week just to be safe. She got another light burn but she’ll be okay, expecting a few more as she grows.

Honestly can’t tell if FIMming worked thinking of doing it again, I can’t seem to see the 4 new bud sites everyone talks about. I really wanted to FIM to slow down her vertical growth early but we’ll see.

She’s a healthy girl, glad she’s happy, been telling myself it’s the rain water I spray her with probs has nothing to do with it but I like to think it’s like Figi water to her :joy:

Day 26. Her third water change was today. Nothing else I notice other than the usual growth. This week might be a quiet week for her.

Day 27. She’s starting to take in more water. The Mary has a sensor level to let you know if you need to top up the water. In previous weeks she would drink 4% of the water per week. Since yesterday’s water change she’s drank ~10%, in one day!

The tanks holds about 13 liters. That’s about 1.3 liters in a day! Not sure if it means anything I’m assuming water uptake gets higher closer to flowering? It’s also a lot more humid in there guessing it’s the water is evaporating through her leaves.

Also her stem is VERY sturdy, happy she thickened up! Thanks for recommending the fan I truly believe that helped!

Beautiful all those are great signs of a healthy baby. At that pace in flowering you might have 2 replace water once a day

Got it! Never read about the increase uptake in feeding so it caught me by surprise I thought my tank had a leak :joy:. Thinking of scrogging or maybe a tie down. Not to sure yet but I know I should start soon before she turns untrainable.

That space is tight so a scrog might be your best option. She’s already an aggressive grower

Oh, yeah. Shoulda braced you for that. My plants went from drinking about 5gal every 7-10 to 10gal every 3-5. :grimacing:
