Orange Sherbet #1

Welcome back to my Orange Sherbet grow, we're ploughing forwards, starting into flower! I haven't grown a Sativa dominant plant for a while, so it's interesting to watch this one develop differently to the Indica heavy strains I've gotten used to. Day 28 - Height: 15" I'm really into this plant, I think she has a really lovely structure and leaf shape, but sadly I'm not sure if the training has helped too much, as the side branches have stretched up a bit, but there's one or two that have stayed small. Still, I think she would have stretched way tall if I'd grown her naturally, so it had to be done really, anyway. As far as care goes, I'll start this plant on Bloom nutrients this week as well as add a little CalMag into the feed, just to help her through the transition period from Veg to Flower. She looks really healthy, but I like to add the calmag for a few weeks just to stave off issues that can arise a few weeks into flowering if I don't bother adding anything at all. I did some really light defoliation, she's quite a sparse little bush right now, so probably won't need too much defoliation, but I'll take a few leaves off here and there over the next couple of weeks just to keep the canopy clean and clutter-free. Day 32 - Height 16" Still loving this plant. She's so easy to grow and has that nice, sparse leaf structure of a sativa, so I haven't had to do any defoliation at all. I think when she starts packing on bud, she's going to look a real beauty. Care wise, very easy and she looks seriously healthy. Sativa's are usually a lighter green than Indica's and her leaves are bang on, slightly darker than lime. She is also thriving on the proximity to the light and heat, which in my space can cause problems in some strains, but this one is just eating it up. Her vertical growth has slowed down and I doubt she'll stretch up much more now, maybe she'll squeeze up an extra inch or so, but I think she's pretty much reached her final shape now and will hopefully transfer over to full flower over the next week. Thanks a lot for following along with the grow, take care and grow well!
