Plants had been topped once and minimally Low Stress Trained over the past few weeks, removing any low branches and low node growth on main branches.
While last run I had to fill the canopy with 4 plant, this time around I am hoping to reduce veg stage time, while increasing strength of plant branches to more easily support mature buds. Aiming for 8-12 colas per plant at this point in the grow. Things change in later weeks as more plants are added.
Note, fungus gnats are thriving in the soil of these pots - once I even saw a fucking crowd of them crawl out of the side of the red pot when I watered. This is just before I went out to buy diatomaceous earth.
At first I planned to run 9 PK. Then decided to run some Gelatos alongside for variety. 2 Gelatos are still in the 4x2 but are added to this tent in later weeks. Front and centre you see a clone in a red pot that is in bad shape compared to the others. I threw it away this week, and will end up with 11 plants instead of 12 as a result. Just couldn't be bothered, as it was too far behind the others.
