Winter/Spring 2023

4/25: start of week 9 and the plants are 57 days from sprout. Feed-feed-water-feed-feed-water continues. They are really chunking up and putting on weight, and the photos from each week show it. Light pruning, only as needed, and also hand pulling yellow fan leaves that can be easily removed. Still working to train bendable branches to open up the center of plant. Probably 30-40 days left based on past experience, but I’ll start checking trichomes with my scope at the end of week 9, which should be about 65 days from sprout. 4/28: fan leaves are fading to yellow. Manually plucking fan leaves that have yellowed and can be easily removed with fingers. Dropped humidity a little (set at 58%) and increased exhaust time cycle to keep tent cool. Planning on discontinuing Big Bud around the end of Week 9 but I will continue feeding with other base nutes/supplements for another week or two before starting a two week flush that alternates between water only and Flawless Finish + water.
