Thank you @Cap_Ron . Wish i could take all the credit for MBAP’s shape but she built most of that herself. I did accidently break her main when it began to outgrow everything, which acted like a topping, that and a couple a bread ties to lean the bottom 3 nodes out was my contribution lol
I tried to put a net on her for support but it stretched in a way that made it useless, needs more support. I may add some braces to the frame or wait and use wires again until this ones done.

Maui Waui finally had enough of her sister crimping her style, second night in row she grew 2". Hope she settles down soon but really this could go on for another week or so, running out of room fast at this rate…now where are my hedge trimmers??

I’m not sure what’s in the Advanced Nutrients I’m giving em or if that’s the whole story…I’ve caught them raiding the refrigerator in the middle of the night fighting over the last piece of leftover pizza 
…Better ingredients makes for better plants or sumfin like that

I love Advanced Nutrients, and I did a side by side grow a few years ago with AN vs organic nutrients. The AN won hands down, bigger plants and better yields. I’m pretty sure AN is the reason why I average 5 to 8 ounces per auto in soil and a little higher when I grow in coco.

AN with ME coco peat soil works very well at keeping up with their nutrition needs without me having to time amendments and deal with a hot preloaded substrate. Wish it wasn’t so expensive or broken into 30 different bottles of stuff, it’s like going to a buffet and paying separate for each item 
. I’ve had very few symptoms of deficiency or overage this round compared to last which was organics but I’m doing better at reading the tea leafs also so it’s corrected quickly. Last time I watched as the serrated edges turned to a lovely yellow then claw while I’m thinking wow it’s so purty until the interveinal chlorosis and dark spots showed up a week later, first lesson on pH and preloaded soil with insufficient buffers. With AN pH isn’t suppose to matter due to the chelation of its ingredients I believe but I think watching runoff pH can still be useful as its’ trend shows plant uptake ratios of npk to some degree long before the leafs complain…still researching this. Thanks for the heads up on Harley Smith vids…more info than I can absorb in one sitting but it’s slowly sinking in…few more grows and hopefully I’ll be a novice . At my current rate of consumption my first grow yielded enough to last 14 yrs 3 months so the pressure to have a successful grow is diminished, now it’s even more enjoyable.

When @Hellraiser first turned me on to Advanced Nutrients several years ago, I went with the entire line of products, to the tune of well over a thousand bucks. In the time since then I’ve figured out that some of those items aren’t really necessary, and a few others could be replaced by less expensive versions from other companies.
So I still use the the AN cal/mag, Connoisseur base nutrients, B-52, Big Bud, and Bud Candy.
I no longer use Voodoo Juice, Piranha, or Tarantula. Instead I use Photosynthesis Plus and Vegetable & Fruit Yield Enhancer by Microbe Life Hydroponics. I save a small fortune this way, and I feel the stuff I’m using works just as good.
I no longer use Rhino Skin. I prefer the NPK Industries brand Silica. It seems to work just as well, and again, less expensive.
Also, I don’t use Sensizym anymore, again in favor of the NPK Industries brand of powder Enzymes. Cheaper, and seems to get the job done just as well.
I also eliminated Bud Ignitor and Overdrive. I just use Big Bud, and start it a little early and then keep using it a little longer.
I quit using Nirvana and Bud Factor X without replacing them with anything, and I saw no fall off in quality or any difference at all.

I hear ya, won’t no way I was buying them all, I’d of got shot by wife before ever getting to use em! Started with base and had superthrive from first grow, started using their Bud candy and big bud a few weeks ago…seems to be doing ok but I wonder if it couldn’t be better with a greater understanding to eliminate or at least reduce nutrition as a limiting factor

MBAP 52 Days up, 22 Days in flower, she’s 31" and holding…well creapin upward anyways.
Still using 2 gal per watering to get a quart out, I figure some of it evaporates from the coco peat.
Iv’e been struggling with `high humidity off & on since fall started.
This week was really bad, VPD of 0.6 - 0.8 for 3 days straight. Her waterings went from everyday to every other day. Thankfully it’s getting colder outside so
that’s helped, got VPD to avg 1.4 today, hopefully she’ll get back to eating everyday. I was thinking that’s why her upper leaf’s are light
She’s starting to frost a lil but her smell is a kinda odd, like a skunk walking thru diesel fuel while eating a durian.
Maui Waui 47 days up 8 in flower, 46" tall and ain’t lettin up, kicking myself for letting her get
so tall before flipping, aw well just gotta deal with it.
