Twilight Sparkle is doing so very well. Smooth and steady growth.

She's been growing steadily so far. Nothing bad at all. All good.

Outward growth. Looking good and steady.
4 inches tall now. Good spacing between the first 2 nodes with the third one coming in now. I'm nearly convinced that I have the light height at a perfect constant level.

She's definitely at the Sohum soil and gobbling it up. Her growth is exploding. Looking fantastic!

She is growing so steadily. Happy happy girl. I got the stretch that I wanted as well. Stem is starting to fatten up. The second node has a thicker stem than the bottom. I think that may be a good thing? The bottom stem being a bit thinner starting out because of the stretch and getting closer to the light.

So apparently my smart plug forgot to turn back on this morning. It wasn't a big deal, but she was dark for an extra 2 hours. She's doing quite well. Steady growth, great coloring. A little bit of light burn from water beading on the first finger leaves. I'm not worried about it. I'm not spraying her anymore. Just once a week with leaf shine. Water intake is going steady, about a half litre a day. Maybe a bit less. Still no flooding from the blumats. I know they can flood if the soil isn't moist all over. But once the soil settled and moisture evened up, no runoff or flooding. And everything looks near perfect.
Update. 3 blumats are a bit overkill. No runoff, but there is a bit of excess moisture on the bottom of the pot. So I popped the lines out of the reservoir for now. I will add in one at a time as she grows more. I'm thinking let the pot dry out a bit and add 1 blumat in a couple of days when week 4 starts. A second one 2 weeks later and then 2 weeks after that. Maybe 3. Then I guess remove them one at a time toward harvest time.

Growth is currently exploding. Each branch and leaf grew about an inch last night. Super healthy. She's at 6" tall now. Apparently this is the right time to train her. Nope. No training. I'm just letting her go.
