Big Bud & Auto Banana Blaze

The plants hit their pre-flower stretch this week before finally showing pistils on Day 41 which is the latest I've ever known an auto to veg. Its crazy that both planst have sprouted on the same day and shown first pistils the same day too, I gave them their first defoliation on Day 39 and removed all small lower shoots and fan leaves to increase air flow and not waste any energy on popcorn nugs. I have effectively lollipopped both of them removing 20-30% foliage. I went away for the weekend and so they were not watered at all for 48hrs but they are still looking great and healthy. Other than that weekend they are still being fed twice per day at around 800ml-1L per feed and producing 20-40% runoff (I've not been measuring just going by eye). Temps are constant at 26°C and an RH of between 50-60% ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DAY 36 Friday 28th May I'm going away for a couple of days and so I've fed the plants twice today in 8 hours ensuring the coco is fully saturated as they will not be getting fed again until Sunday when my brother feeds them. Both plants are yet to show any pistils yet and they are the healthiest plants I've grown to date. Just luscious green and bushy with no nute burn at all and they are growing vigorously and loving the 2 feeds per day, DAY 39 Monday 31st May The plants look to have hit their pre-flower stretch now as they have really stretched since I saw them last on day 36. Still no pistils and so these girls are going to be a nice size. As its day 39 and they are about to go into flower any day now I have given them their first defoliation and removed all small lower shoots and fan leaves to increase air flow and not waste any energy on popcorn nugs. I have effectively lollipopped both of them removing 20-30% foliage. DAY 40 Tuesday 1st June I snapped one of the shoots on the Banana Blaze yesterday when doing LST, the stems are so rigid! I've patched her up by strapping her to a kebab skewer planted in the coco to keep her straight and I'm sure she'll mend. I think I may be seeing signs of the first pistils forming, this is the latest I've ever seen an auto flower. DAY 41 <--- STARTED FLOWERING Wednesday 2nd June Both plants have started flowering at the same time. White pistils forming at bud sites. The snapped stem on the Banana Blaze is healing but I set it back by accidentally knocking it when moving the plant and it fell down again. The shoot is not dying though and so I believe I can save it. The Amnesia is now 3 weeks into flower yet I'm only feeding her week 1 flowering nutes because I've been so unorganized and unfocused on the Amnesia.
