I post exactly as this is happening so if you have suggestions on how I can improve or maybe point out things I’m doing wrong I’d greatly appreciate the knowledge.
@Papa_T, it’s moreso just the transition from a crop being grown naturally outdoor to indoor.. it’s been naturally grown in areas that “veg” for months before the flowering phase is initiated.. the indoor standard is much different from that
@Godesskat, thanks bro appreciate the words. Unfortunately she’s taken a but of a turn and not in a good way. I may have pushed some limits on PHing. I’ll be able to recover her but she’s not happy right now. It’s ok though I’m used to having at least one female mad at me.
@Wackytabacky_420, oh bro you can’t even imagine. I’m kicking myself not keeping some cuttings to keep the pheno alive. But it is what it is bro. I’m taking a slight break after this run before I start up a new run.
