Week 3 Veg. Did some light defoliation. When I removed the first node growth from the girls I didn’t take into consideration that I would be taking cuttings. So to make sure I keep my 5 week Veg time, I will need to remove a couple nodes from each plant for cuttings. That still leaves plenty of main branches for flowering.
Update: nearing the end of week 3 of Veg, and I was able to top the lower branches at the 3rd node, but the upper branches will still have to wait. I added trainer clips to spread out the growth. This is my first grow without a scrog in a while, so these clips look promising.
Personal note — by week 3 of veg, the plants are big enough to be given one half-gallon per feed.
@Ezzjaybruh, I don’t think they reached their full potential with this grow. I’m switching back to my original nutrient line and trying another run. That being said I believe once I get her dialed in, then it is absolutely worth the price.
