They were all foliar sprayed with Athena IPM and Stack on Day 15 and for the last time on Day 19.
I defoliated most of the lower fan leaves but kept all the leaves on the budsites for another defoliation after most of the buds have developed with new leaf growth.
My lights are now on 100% and can only expect good things. Also it is my first time using LEDs.
I am still waiting on some FloraFlex PotPro Platforms to place under the coco bags so that I can monitor the runoff EC of each grow bag. I don't think I will be adjusting the ones in coco much but I will be checking the rockwool plants regularly because they dry out quite quick especially in the small 4" cubes. But I am experimenting with 2 different phenos on how they grow compare to the ones in the larger substrate.
I guess they have been growing quite fast and have more or less quadrupled in height from when they first went into 12/12. I am not sure whether to keep it at 12/12 or reduce the light to 11/13 light most people growing equatorial varieties? But I will see if I need to later if bud production doesn't slow down.
Smell is just that green cannabis smell. Not bud. Mostly chlorophyll but has the scent of the stem rub. Not at all strong but I can recognise it as soon as the tent is opened.
I added a trellis to help hold the plants up as support but removed it until the PotPro Platforms arrive then will put it back. My plan was to slightly bend the taller plants for the smaller ones to catch up as an even canopy as it can and I didn't need to do that because the small ones have caught up and is about 2-3 inches smaller than the others which is fine.
Now it's all about patience.
Week 3 down... 7-8 more weeks to go!
