7/3 I fed the girls a booster feed to start the week off strong. Uploaded latest photos of the girls and a photo of the Ocean Grown and Dr Greenthumbs products I have been using for this grow.
Booster Feed mixed with 12L of filtered PH6.5 water.
Booster feed dose
Ocean Grown - Fish Hydrolysate 110ml
Ocean Grown - Deep Sea Sugar & Kelp 60ml
Dr Greenthumbs Fruit Roids 6 scoops
Tribus 10ml
9/3 Applied another booster feed and flattened down the cover crop before watering to prepare for another top dressing in a few days.
10/3 Environmental parameters at 8am, two hours before lights off plants are from 22-30cm
from the light.
Leaf temp: 24-25c
Air temp 27c
Humidity: 60-70%
I purchased a dehumidifier to try and get the humidity down more consistently before I was using the split system in dry mode and now I can also utilise the air con for lower temperatures.
I adjusted the LST ties on the two that are further into flower to pull the branch a little more apart to allow light to reach the middle bud sites better before I do the next defoliation in a week or two.
Chop & dropped the cover crop then I applied a top dressing, new cover crop of dichondra and watered them with another booster feed of about 3.3L each.
11/3 The front larger plant has really stretched the last few days and has finally started developing bud sites. It show signs of being a little overwatered from this week.
The other two are looking great with praying leaves and has a very light sweet smell. Holding off defoliating this week after adjusting the LST ties to pull the branches apart little more.

@AntiWar, hey bro, I would just dial back the dosage of the nutrients and just defoliant the largest fan leaves and let the girls recover for a few days they are pretty resilient.
I’m mostly plain water in my Grow but I can’t help myself to give them extra goodies and I over did the booster feed for a week half way through the grow and after switching back to a lower dosage feed they recovered really fast! Look forward to watching the rest of you grow bro. I hope to be harvesting mine over the next few weeks.
All the best and have a great day!🖖
@AntiWar, I believe I defoliated the second or third week of flower. Then later I ran into trouble I think I missed a watering and the leaves of the two further into flowers suffered and went really dry and crispy so I ended up removing the affected leaves. Probably did it way too early. Next time I’ll do better with the watering and do defoliation later in the cycle.
