This last week topped the two phenotypes and rearranged the tent. That's a summation to the rest of the comment.
Week 4 starts with great new growth on these ladies. The new tops are finally starting to really grow upwards. I will be training the plants a bit in the future for now I am working on basic structuring.
I removed the very lowest internodal growth as the lowest branch will never reach the top and only sucks energy from the rest of the growth. I leave all the fan leaves but the actual branch gets removed all together.
I have been watering in dechloronated tap water ph balanced to 5.8-6.3. The plants look great the growth is great and the environment continues to remain ideal.
The genetics are very solid and consistent between the two pheno types with very minor differences. The research I did suggests the same genetics have been displayed on every grow I've seen so far. Let's see if maybe an environmental trigger could pull some desirable dormant genetics out.
Rh is set and controlled at 53% at the moment and the light 20" above the canopy at 85% power. Temps are set and controlled at 73f avg 69-77f min and max. My fan is providing canopy circulation from a new above mounted position.
The medium is watered when it feels dry to the touch or the plants look thirsty. Otherwise I have left them alone to grow as they normally would grow.
This grow has been super easy and the plants respond to everything I do with ease. This is by far the happiest and easiest plants I've had.
Until next week, HG&HT!
@TragicTerps, I'm in the dark on the Kushman Chiropractic Method, I need to do some reading on it. That's how lollipopping is done in my books, I like it in combo with SCROG. Have not done it to much of it myself, was very against the idea before.
@XII_XII_EarlyRaver, thanks a million. I'm going to be doing a staggered harvest this time around so I can max out this lady, and then reveg her or cross her with the white widow in the tent. Goals?! Lol
