KC buds are looking better than the GZ ones now, though obviously there are fewer. The GZ buds look really tiny, I'm not sure if it was stress or if she needs more food or what. Oh well.
Defoliated quite a bit again Monday, maybe for the last time. I definitely get the feeling I've been doing it too often on the GZ which would have contributed to the stunted growth. She has tons of small fan leaves whereas the KC has plenty of large ones. I was hoping to defoliate lightly and often to avoid stressing, but that may have been a mistake.
I've avoided defoilating for the rest of the week, on Sunday added another 6 tablespoons of power bloom into about a gallon of soil and added it to the top of each plant. I added some more clover as well as most of the cover crop was depleted. I probably should have done all of this a week or two ago when I added the flowering top dressing. KC looks great but small, GZ has lots of flowers but looks stretched and may not provide good buds.
