Big Nugs

Week four was low on photos, but high on vegetative growth! The difference between day 23 and 29 is huge. I had a pretty busy week, so I did a bit of pruning and LST at the beginning and then just let the plant recover for most of the week, in anticipation of flipping at start of week 5. LST tiedowns started to become numerous, was able to start tying down secondary branches in addition to the main four. Also pruned out a good number of the oldest, lowest leaves. Broke my heart to prune them since they all looked strong and healthy, but the growth of the plant had put them completely in shade and most were touching the soil. So out they go. Also continued to prune buds that were pointed directly downwards post-LST. Most of the longest branches have reached the perimeter of the container, making future LST difficult/impossible. In preparation for the flowering stretch, I strung up a quick SCROG net that I'll use to continue training the branches until stretch is over. Water uptake has noticeably increased, and no sign of nutrient excess/deficiency. I think the increased humidity has made the plant happier than it was last week. Still working off in-situ nutrients, the only external nutrient feeding was the single fish emulsion drench last week. Excited for flip! I have about 9 weeks before my schedule gets difficult, and this strain is supposed to finish in 6-7 weeks so I think I have enough safety margin.
