Here come the flowers! I love this stage of the plant. It grows so fast and changes overnight. Bud sites are forming and coming in nicely. Looks like they're stacking nicely, there is good spacing between nodes so hopefully they will be able to fill the space.
I've mostly been leaf tucking all the larger leafs to allow light to get to the lower bud sites. Just removing a few blocking leafs that i can't tuck. At the end of the week I did a light defoliation of the lower canopy and a couple "sucker" branches.
Boss, your plant is beautiful. I hate mine, looks like 50% larf and the rest nice tiny buds. Unfortunately I’m growing it next to Strawberry Nuggets with dense hard buds the size of small lemons. Your documentation with the wonderful photos keeps me from not screaming about mine.
@MadMama, lol, thanks. I updated the diary, she came out very nice. I defoliated some branches early on that I thought would only be larf, that might have helped her concentrate energy on fatter colas. But tbh, I'm still learning.
Do you think the leaves could've been hitting your LED lights on the side of the bucket? I've never heard of this strain. I'll have to check it out and learn a bit about it. Everything looks so healthy and green! Those leaves are thick like kale!
@Quexos, i's not light burn. but acting almost like it's being strangled. droopy and wilting while the other branches looked good. I cut it off. didn't want it to waste the energy.
Those buds are looking really nice. I pushed my last grow hard with AN flowering nutes. I got a little burn towards the end, but that nutrient line was really forgiving. I'm not sure about Canna products, but as long as you don't go crazy I think that most of these lines won't steer you wrong.
You are pretty far along in your bud formation and your plant looks super healthy. I wouldn't worry that much about lock out. Of course it never hurts to scale back before something goes horribly wrong!💀
The pheno of this Mephisto looks so funny next to my Mephisto Strawberry Nuggets. The Forum Stomper is growing long and spindly. The Strawberry Nuggets grows like a broccoli stalk.
You might need to flush a bit more. I just read an article that recommended flushing from 1200PPM-400PPM. That would require a lot more rinsing of your medium. However, based on your photos, I don't see anything wrong with your current procedures. Your buds look frosty and dense. The plant itself looks like its in great shape. It looks like everything is working as intended.
last few days I've been watering to runoff close to 60% overflow, and it still comes out a little higher than what goes in. Like you said, the plant is overall healthy, so I'm not worried, just trying to understand. But I have noticed a tiny bit of burn on a lot ( most) of my tips, so I think I've been flirting with nuking her but caught it early.
