Second Time's a Charm

Everything is looking great! Summer temps this week were decent. Today Saturday is especially hot, maybe the hottest of the year. AC working well for now. I refilled the buckets with 1/4 diluted solution on Tuesday and Thursday. Total requiring 6 gallons each day. Saturday instead of changing the water I did the same as Tues and Thurs and needed the same amount of water. Will change it next weekend which will make it 3 weeks time since its last change. I'm using half the amount of grow formula to try to reduce stretch and leaf production. I don't think it is bothering the plant or slowing it down at all. Branches that were broken and bent over are all standing tall again. It gave the rest of the plant to catch up which has resulted in a nice overall flat table of growth. #3 is missing about 15% from full coverage and #4 is missing about 40% Bud is looking good and many formed up a lot this week. You can now tell several branches are going to have a nice stack of buds. #1 is looking excellent as always. Never a problem with this one. I trimmed a few suckers off this plant on Sat just to free up room for the other stems. I need to top the plant less in veg. Roots look excellent. #2 bounced back nicely. Roots excellent. Small growth in the middle that likely won't be harvested on the first cutting, but definitely 2nd cutting. Outer branches are strong as #1 and #3 #3 is also looking excellent and possible the best of the bunch. Many branches with buds stacking up already. Should be a good one. Roots are excellent #4 looks the worst but it is going to be just fine. The oxygen deprivation put its growth back about a week but now it is all green and strong. Again about a week behind the others probably in terms of harvest. There will be several outer buds that will be harvested first, about 10 or so. But most of this plant wll be taken on the 2nd and 3rd cutting. Roots look excellent again. Slightly concerned about more stretching. I have about 6in of height left. I need to switch to 12/12 a week sooner at least I defoliated larger fan leaves throughout the week. There were a few suckers that cropped up here and there which I mostly removed. Defoliating at the right time definitely is paying off now as I can see the buds fattening every day.
