1/22/23 - really plumped up after yesterday's watering. Just looking gorgeous.
1/24/23 - watered and fed today. Cutting back on the nitrogen. Acapulco has super high TDS readings lately, may give it double the water next watering to try to flush some salts out of the soil. Could be the reason for its purple/mottled leaves. Other than that, looking great.
1/26/23 - Did a little photo shoot of the ladies. The buds are continuing to get bigger. Checked the trichomes on Acapulco and LSD, they are still almost entirely clear, although LSD actually had a good amount of amber on some leaves which was weird. Still not really close to being done yet. I was worried for a while, but Critical looks like it's going to live up to its heritage. Some of its single buds are 3" long on their own.
1/27/23 - watered today. Will do no nutes again next watering cus all the plants were high in runoff TDS. I think this is about the time in the grow my soil pretty much dies completely and the plants take a turn for the worst even they're not quite done finishing up. But since they're almost done anyway I don't mind too much. Still stresses me out when they get all sickly looking at the end though.
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.
