This week it was planned to tie and bend the plants into a nice even canopy and allow a nice even growth along the plant nodes to promote a better yield, during the week it was planned to flip to 12/12 and get the flower on, we will also experiment to find a better tie down method. First thing I wish to mention is that watering and feeding has steadily increased, I like to have regular wet and dry spells to reduce humidity build up and damp soil which can promote negatives such as pests and rot. Around once a week I will not water for a day, I call these dry spells where the plants gets minor stress that promotes root growth, which in turn helps the canopy. Following the first minor bends to try and break apical dominance, this week the bending and ties intensified. I experimented using binder clips on the side of the grow pot instead of canes which I had used before, previously I had also made holes in the pot but did not like this as it destroys the fabric. The clips were brilliant as they easily pull branches out and down, away from the main stem allowing light to penetrate to new growth. The flip to 12/12 did not happen, this was primarily due to SaS being a little on the underdeveloped side, possibly due to some trauma which occurred during transplant, or the hot early stages where heat was a factor. Since then SaS has come along well, my new worry is that LB's rampant growth will cause an issue for the small space. A few leaves were removed from the bottom of the plants, even though light penetration was increased, these leaves had served their purpose in early growth and now would just sap resources for little return, likely dying in the process. Week 4 will see the flip to 12/12, looking forward to seeing more growth. During this time I will continue to maintain an even canopy in the ways discussed, there will also be CO2 augmentation using fermentation bottles, this has been effective in the past. Overall I am happy with the grow so far, the only reason I held off the flip was because I love SaS, great strain, especially for problem solving. The binder clips and rubber ties work super well in helping train the plant, will not be using so many canes in future as they are a pain for moving the pots. Please feel free to give me tips and ask questions! Lots of love, me and the girls.

Only a few leaves, but should I be worried? Last few waters have only had calmag to see if that helps.

I would go back to feeding bloom formulas now with the calmag after you have flushed the calmag through for those few days.

More than normal I have noticed a large amount of second growth at the base of the plant, im wondering if this is caused by adding new soil during flower? Or if this is normal? Also should I have just cut it off as it grew, seems to be a waste of energy as they won't get light.

You can remove second growth at the base of the plant that don't get light. Also having that much leaves in the bottom/base top of each other not a good thing with condensation at dusk and night time, will expose your plant to mold. Make it less bushy in the middle and base and you will be fine. Don't defoliate to heavily aside that, plant need it's leaves to process nutrient and produce energy.

@Sour_D, "Inquiring minds"... definitely the name of your sex tape. He had to be let go for personal reasons, in the way he personally left a pile of cleanex in someone else's changing room. We think the stress got to him.

Burp your tent often if possible during light on.. Its safer if u can at dark time also but B very careful of light leaking in ...it helps regulate temperature and humidity..

I would clean it on third week of flower. Now they are at the end, only one reasonable good thing ; Start slowly - 5 leaves a day - off and you will open up bottoms for light. That will be mass, I am greedy, now it's too late. As mentioned above, earlier I would clean, not only to increase bud and quality mass of rest, but for air movement and kind off for roots .. All the Best ! You are very close !

@AsNoriu, I like how you think, I've always felt his approach was pretty harsh on the plants, I've also heard him do some panels at events and he was super opinionated. Thanks for the help, cannot wait till my next grow which starts at the end of this month, will get to practice defoliation some more. Let me know if there is anything else I should be doing.
AsNoriu

@Jobbie, I found it. I never harm plants, my idea is letting them go, but I direct were and how fast, I train them daily for max mass and with autos do only one huge training . Then I choose how high I lollipop them and what side shoots I leave or which branches should be directed to most empty spot. You still always predict and plan. HP's were penetrating a lot deeper, but LEDs brings better harvest and bigger, if you leave max one foot deep canopy.

@AsNoriu, I will be honest bud, I did a trimming job yesterday and was annoyed at myself for being willfully ignorant, it was a mess down there, so full of wispy buds and malformed leaves that I now have nightmares of being trapped in a jungle. Search "Dru West the secrets of the west coast masters", page 169 starts talking about what branches he uses for his scrog set up and why. You can read it on Google books for free. Let me know what you think, the book is interesting but rather prescriptive. Thank you for your feed back, it is super appreciated as I'm still learning, yes I've read books, but books don't give you feed back, so thank you again!

@Jobbie, Sรญ, como si fuera una discoteca de los '80! Yo uso esta tรฉcnica de luces para potenciar el crecimiento de cogollos en la parte media de mis plantas, ya que estas casi siempre cogen bastante altura y las luces del dosel no penetran lo suficiente en la parte media-baja de las plantas.

Really nice detailed diary. Some great pics and funny memes. She has throw off some lovely fade. Enjoy the weed. I'm getting all mix with Green House Feeding. Can you apply nutrients that soon to your grow. I thought you'd get at least 3-4 weeks without needing nutrients?
