D36-Week 6 begins, defoliate again to start the first week of real noticeable flower as well. Plant pot still seems heavy and retaining the last feed , will continue to monitor. Specific feed has been made already for PE, just waiting for signs of needing to eat again.
D37-fed this morning 1000ml, I also top dressed with FFOF soil as the roots were mildly showing after the watering. I have the fan going constantly so hopefully the layers of soil won't act adversely with each other. Either way, plant is looking happy and healthy, upping the silica mildly to see if that helps give an extra oomph to stem development and rebound power after defoliation. Also giving a touch higher bloom as the cola and pistils are stacking up. All training stakes are off, I think next grow I will train laterally immediately and then let the plant grow up before LST. Next 48 hours they will be alone to grow. Will monitor until it's time to feed again.
D40-minor defoliation and feed this morning. All per gallon, 5ml silica, 1.5ml grow big, 3ml tiger bloom and 20ml organic big bloom. Gave 1200ml of feed and the plant is trucking along. Very fruity aroma coming off of it. Getting taller each day. This will likely be my last week 6 update unless it needs to eat on day 42, which I doubt currently.
Has anyone noticed a true difference in yields/health with an addition of a silica compound to the soil medium? Unsure if I want to try it on this grow, but am open to comments/recommendations.
Basically it sets your plant up to help increase overall harvest. Make sure to use a micro with it. And add bit at a time if making s mix as some nutes might gel together if used in excess.

@fast_buds_jessie, thanks for the comments! I'm looking forward to really tracking them during grow and having an awesome crop! I have a few other fast buds strains that I'm eager to grow too, once this harvest runs its course. Thanks again for the comment and helping hands. Stay tuned!
