First time grower and learning as I go. Just found this site and think it is amazing plus has helped a lot! This is week 4 for my 3 ladies! Using Fox Farm Organic Ocean Forest Soil which is why I held off on feeding them. I was watering with straight water every other day and did my first feeding on Day 28 with a mix of Fox Farm - TigerBloom/BigBloom - 1.5tsp of each in a gallon of distilled water. With a second feeding tonight Critical Banana Smoothie - This plant is very bushy, I did small amount of defoliation only on Day 31 as I was worried about cutting on Day 28 because how close the branches were to each other. Afterwards, I didn't like the results of the defoliation. Tried a different approach on Day 33 I tied down end side of the plant. I thought the plant looked much better on Day 35. Not much pre-flowering that is noticeable though I do see hairs coming from the stems. She requires a little more attention and in my case more research but I feel like I'm gaining ground again. Gelato - Did a small amount of defoliation on Day 28, 31 and liked the results. Pre-flowering is looking great...lots of little pre-buds forming at different locations. So far very easy to handle! Purple Punch - Did a small amount of defoliation on Day 28, 31 and liked the results. She is a spreader for sure and pre-flowering looks amazing, growing pre-buds everywhere she can. So far she has been the easiest to handle!
