11/20/22 - Did some heavier defoliation of lower branches on all 3 plants. Starting to look more lollipopped. I may do one more removal of lower branches during the flower/stretch stage but I'm still a week or 2 away from that.
11/22/22 - Watered and gave more nutes today. There is some yellowing of lower leaves on the LSD and AG, so the soil seems to be pretty much depleted now. Will slowly start upping the nute levels. Still not much to tie down, hopefully with the increased nutes and another day or 2 of recovery from the defoliation, they should start to take off.
11/24/22 - Starting to fill out. Will probably switch to flower within the next week and let them finish filling out the net during stretch.
11/26/22 - Watered and fed. Next time will give just plain water. Have been defoliating bit by bit underneath the net, trying not to take too much at once to avoid shocking the plants.
Anyone have any experience topping LSD or Acapulco Gold Strains? I've never grown these strains before and am curious how they respond to topping. Going to do it anyway, just looking for any insight from someone who's done it before. Thanks!
LSD being indica dominant, I would top it later than the sativa dominant Acapulco Gold, which will respond more vigorously to topping.
Also, your pH should be in the 6.2 to 6.8 range, 7.5 is way too high.
