Heya growmies!
I am happy, it's week 4 and we appear to still be in veg! Meaning this plant won't be a tiny one.
I have beaten this plant's Apical dominance using LST, as a result she has put more energy into its lower branches, this prevents the plant from growing a single main cola with many smaller colas, and instead, evenly distribute its energy among all buds, forming many topsites.
She may look messy right now, and that's because I haven't cut any sucker leaf, we will be going very slowly with defoliation this time around, using my past experience and gut feeling. This plant will likely end up being Lollipopped.
There's quite a bit of hidden color, which makes me hopeful for a red phenotype! we will know soon enough.
If you are wondering what the Hypochlorous acid in the nutrient list is, I'm using Calcium hypochlorite to combat pythium growth in my growbucket, as well as providing free chlorine for the plant to uptake. It's a very cheap and effective way to run a "Sterile" DWC run, although you have to be very careful when handling and dosing, if you want to know how I calculate my dose, leave a comment or send a message, I'm happy to help out. It's a great and cheap alternative to UC Roots.
Hope you'll join me next week, Flower is around the corner!
@Sweet_Seeds, really enjoyed this grow so far. she took a while to get purple, was worried for a second, really wanted to grow some purple weed, she's so big she just keeps going
