Once again I’m pretty overdue for an update. I’ve mostly been up to a lot of plant training. I had already topped once to start a main line in my last update. I waited for 4 nodes on each side and then topped again, but I kept nodes 1 and 3 on each side which created 8 tops. Then I had a plant training accident and accidentally broke off one of the new tops. I should have waited just a little longer to bend those new ones. Lesson learned.
Now I’ve just been bending and tying the 7 remaining branches into place and making a nice, flat canopy. She is really filling out nicely and I’ll need to clean up the middle again and remove some larger fan leaves. I’ll let her veg for another week, maybe 2, before I flip to bloom.
I also have had an interesting nutrient dilemma in which I needed extra cal mag but the Botanicare cal mag product has 2% nitrogen which was causing some slight nitrogen toxicity. I switched over to Calimagic because it has half the nitrogen and about twice the cal mag, and that seems to be the way to go.
More again in a week or two and I promise weekly updates during the bloom phase.
