4/3 - Everything is getting tucked and defoliated to make room for more and more bud sites. This is the first week of 12/12 so I'm still spreading the plant to the edges and centre of the net. All plants eating and drinking healthily and I'm replacing 10L every two days.
They're taking 35ml/10L of both Canna Vega A and B at this point (plus additives). Lots of leaves removed past two days, but I think all but about three squares on the net are now filled with at least one an unshaded bud site.
I'll continue to tuck for another 2-3 days, then I'll let the stretch take over. A week after that I'll remove all the larf under the net. We're entering the fun stage now and it's all starting to take shape!
6/3 - They've bounced straight back from the defoliation and I think I may just be able to let them do their thing now. The screen is looking nice and full and the canopy even, so we'll see how they go.
It'll be a week tomorrow since they started getting 12 hours of darkness a night. Pistils are starting to appear now, so I'll give them one or two more top ups of Vega before emptying the tank later this week and starting them on the Bloom nutrients.
*I was given a free sample of 'Rezin' by Green Planet Nutrients which looks to be enough to complete the entire grow cycle. You're supposed to use it from 2 weeks before flowering begins to the end of the grow. I've basically used it from the day I flipped to 12/12, so not far off. I've never used their products before, but thought I may as well give it a go as it doesn't seem to be similar to anything I'm using in the Canna range, and the plants are taking everything I give them in the stride so far.
Proper job there bud looking strong and healthy. Will follow along as looking to do that strain myself in the future and will benefit from this diary for sure. Happy growing chap 👍
@NiceGuyOllie, thanks dude. The genetics seem good. The plants seem to take everything in their stride and don't mind some tough love with LST and topping etc. Hopefully the 2nd half of the grow goes as well as first!
