Day 42, I've done some serious defoliation today. I don't normally do it but the growth just below the canopy was getting washed out and spidery. Dialed back nitrates. Was getting signs of cal mag def but think it's part of nitrogen toxicity. I always find purple plants very sensitive to nitrate. Trichrome production is good, smell is increasing. 2.5 weeks to go until breeder crop time. I'll be using big bud until Saturday then switching to overdrive. I will be feeding up to the 8.5 week mark then flushing to 9.5 weeks (as long as that's what the girls tell me they want).
