Abstract. After introducing non-minimal variables, the midpoint insertion of Ybar Y in cubic open Neveu-Schwarz string field theory can be replaced with an operator Script Nρ depending on a constant parameter ρ. As in cubic open superstring field theory using the pure spinor formalism, the operator Script Nρ is invertible and is equal to 1 up to a BRST-trivial quantity. So unlike the linearized equation of motion Ybar YQV = 0 which requires truncation of the Hilbert space in order to imply QV = 0, the linearized equation Script NρQV = 0 directly implies QV = 0.
