2/12/23 - since cutting back on the nutes and raising the light the plants continue to actually look healthier than they have recently. More orange hairs are starting to appear, and there are less clear trichomes. But they still need at least another week I think. Have reduced the lights further to 10.5 hours on. Everything is so plump and heavy, looking beautiful.
2/14/23 - watered today. No change in triches. May raise the light even more and cut down to 10 hours on soon. Really don't need any more size to these ladies, just need them to mature.
2/16/23 - raised the lights another couple inches. The trichomes are finally mostly cloudy on all the plants. Still only a few amber though. Thinking will harvest at the end of next week, and possibly leave a branch or 2 of each to go another week or 2. Would love to be able to compare different harvest dates from the same plant.
2/17/23 - watered today.
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.
