Alright! This week is finally done and this will be the last vegetative growth week for the plants. Switching to flower tonight :D
I have done some defoliation and a bit of lollipopping to the 3 plants, I was noticing the shadows where quite dark on the tent floor and the plants where not crazy tall so they needed to be managed, If I was outdoors I would just LST them some more and not worry about any of it but indoors the airflow is tight and it was needed, cleaning up the undercanopy was none negotiable or some bad things would have happened in flower. Mainly molds or worse WPM. I also removed the string supports I has on the plants when they broke from some LST I did a few weeks ago.
In the stripping down of the plants I removed a lot of lower immature growths and took out some immature branches, I have all these sitting in a glass of water and will clone them out for shits and giggles, I think their is about 15 of them or more, maybe I will go and plant them aorund my neighbourhood in municipal planters. Plus now I can work in the topdressings that will be required in the upcoming weeks to keep these plants happy and healthy. Going to continue amending in some of the bokashi in the feedings as well as worm castings as they give off a nice ammount of microbes for the soil. I wish I had some of my LABs for this grow but I did not make any.
The clones from before are doing fine, just did not take any pics of them.
The butterwort is doing a fantastic job of eating up the gnats. I have some nematodes on hand for when its had its fill as I won't want them getting into the flowers as they ripening.
Big shoutout to Medic Grow for sponsoring the lighting in my tent, They have provided me with 2x Mini Sun 2's in the 240w configuration, They use the v1 growing spectrum that is a all purpose seed to harvest spectrum so their is no hassle of switching it mid grow.

i really respect your work. Solid canopy, nice training and i really love the sticky plant, i had that in mind myself and wasn't sure if this works but i think that proves it, haha. Best of luck i hope i can see some FIRE weed!
@Inganjawetrust, They good stuff, always a nice selection and price point, used to have free shipping up to Canada not any more :(
Can always try other heirloom seed sites like tradewindfruits, They have some nice pepper varieties, sometimes a bit more pricey with shipping but maybe cheaper if your in USA.
Good luck with your 1st SOG mousie. Got my HM going gonna throw it into a flip soon. Will make for a perfect sog, it stays small in hight during veg. (As I've not topped) enjoy.
@gottagrowsometime, Thanks mate! so far I have 5 out of 10seeds accounted for and in that 5, one did not make it. so looking foward to the other popping up in the next few days.

@Seedler, Thanks man! I will see how well it goes. they have stopped stretching and I wonder if I did that with the top dressing as it might have been to aggressive. Only time will tell.
Honey mints. How interesting. They look amazing. Very nice detail in the diary as well.
“maybe I will go and plant them aorund my neighbourhood in municipal planters.” That’s freakin awesome LOL. Doooo it 😆
@m0use, Jeez who knew there could be so much drama surrounding a place that’s to do with weed.. which is supposed to be good vibes. I thought I was just being a bitch myself when I thought something was definitely up with a few people. Whenever I look around at diaries and decide to comment myself, or just read comments- I noticed a couple of the same people commenting ..and that’s fine that’s what the diaries are there for, but it’s word for word the same without fail. Like copy and pasted no matter what diary I look at. How the hell do they hit like every diary. I bet I could just pick any random diary and they’d be there.
It’s sad if they are getting recognized and free things just for spamming comments to people. You’d think places that give out stuff or whatever .. would look into someone more than their profile title or status or whatever it’s referred to as. I’d be looking at their actual grows and things like that. Who gives a rats ass if you have tons of spammed likes and shit diaries LOL. I guess someone does, but that’s sad to me.
Sorry to hear about how people treated you over a fucking contest, and also that your friend had left because of it. That’s shit. Hopefully no one pulls any more bs like that. 😤
@Krisis, The ranking system here is a joke, its based off of [likes] and people farm for likes using scripts or just spamming diaries with disingenuous comments like "great grow keep it up" or "monster plants" theirs a few on this diary and more in others. I have called them out before and they get real offended. Tell me I should be greatfull for the support, that's not something anyone needs, they are cunts and have other objectives.
If you see the age of a profile and its less then 1yr and they are grand master or guru then you know they are farming for likes.
Or just look at their activity feed. If its all little short blurts saying something with a shit ton of emojis they are farming likes.
This all goes back to engagement and getting free shit. Show you are a popular member and get more shit and more people are likely to follow you, you become a marketing board or walking advertisement. Now there are good ways and bad ways to do this. But that's a whole other topic.
and the enemies I made where all in GOTM contest, its a magnet for trolls. Some will argue I am a troll, I have been a bitch to people but I'm not a troll. I have gotten a lot of troll accounts banned and point out shit users cheating and get them removed, they get pissy and come back with multiple fake accounts to try and get at me. it used to be much worse. I had accounts imitate my likeness to try and tarnish my name and start drama. I use to have a growing buddy here who left the site as it got so bad and they where getting targeted. It normally comes to a head and then GD will take again after a week or so. they don't reply to emails and sometimes do things.
