Week 3- Day 1 of Flower (Day 82 overall)
I let the plant take the day off and grow today, A few of the branches are just short of the Second net. As soon as they hit the second Net Super Cropping shall commence.

Week 3- Day 2 of Flower (Day 83 overall)
Did some heavy defoliation on the back of the plants today. Did some light defoliation on the canopy on leaves that were blatantly covering lower bud sites.

Week 3- Day 3 of Flower (Day 84 overall)
Continued to defoliate some of the back. Today was a Happy Day, I received my Spider Farmer SE7000 for my other tent now my tents are twins again.. LOL!! Several stems have hit the Top net.. I will let them get a little farther before I super crop them down. for the rest of this week I want to try and keep the canopy even right around the second net. From Week 4 on they should be on auto pilot for the rest of the grow.

Week 3- Day 4 of Flower (Day 85 overall)
Well the stretch seems to not be as bad as I was thinking it would be with this strain. I am starting to feel like what I did on the first net with Super cropping the taller branches as well as SCROGing them down worked. That it kept them down far enough that I don't have to worry about them getting anywhere close to the lights. The second net most likely will be there just for support of the bud weight then for me to super crop a second layer. I will keep an eye on it and will Super Crop anything down that I think might be an issue, or raise the net up to where I think it will do the most good to support the weight of the taller branches bud sites as they develop.
Typically when you hit week 4 everything switches to straight bud production from Growing. Your stretch is over and if you have defoliated right you can pretty much sit back for the rest of the grow and be on auto pilot just maintain the system.

Week 3- Day 5 of Flower (Day 86 overall)
Was that time to do some deep cleaning up to the first net. If the foliage didn't make make it through the first net then it got defoliated today.
Topped up the system by Adding 10 Gallons today
Added Top up of SILICA .5Mil/Gal = 30 Gallons = 15
10 Gallons Added
Mammoth Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 5Mil
Root DRIP = 1Mil/Gal= 10Mil
CalMag= .5Mil/Gal= 5Mil
FloraMicro = 4.8Mil/Gal= 48Mil
FloraGro= 4.3Mil/Gal= 43Mil
FLoraBloom= 5.8Mil/Gal= 58Mil
LiquidKoolBloom= 2.0Mil/Gal= 20Mil
TPS SIGNAL= 2.0Mil/Gal= 20Mil
ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 5Mil

Week 3- Day 6 of Flower (Day 87 overall)
Continued to clear top foliage that is blocking the lower bud sites from the light, I also continued to clear any lower branches that even with top clear are still too low for the light.

Week 3- Day 7 of Flower (Day 88 overall)
Continued to defoliate and thin out some of the under brush as it grows and some of the canopy's bigger fan leaves blocking lower bud sites.
@RDWCGrowing, They should recover. Cutting the roots slows it down a bit and it uptakes less nutrients while it recovers, but it will take off once it gets established. Make sure you get all the old roots out, that will leave something for the pythium and bad bacteria to eat. Some staining on the roots are fine, your water and nutrients can stain.. they don't have to be bright white, yellow/tanish is ok too.
@Oozle, I have my fingers crossed that I am back on track.. only then next few days will tell.. #3 is not looking well to me.. it looks like half shock if that makes sense.. I think I over reacted when I cut out the Rot on the roots.. I just hope I didn't kill it before I even gave it a chance with the fix items... I thank you for looking over my diary and taking the time to make suggestions to help me.
Congrats on the win ๐๐๐ช Wow... it's so weird I never before came across you diary ๐ค we are grow light buddy's and in the Rdwc fam too๐
Awesome results and a great diary too ๐๐๐ป
