Lemon Orange (Greenhouse Seed Co.)

At the beginning of this week I top dressed the Lemon Orange with 12 tbsp of BuildASoil's Craft Blend and 2 cups of worm castings. I've decided to top dress every two weeks from now on until late flower. I will probably up the nutrients to around 20 tbsp next feeding as we are getting close to flower. Speaking of being close to flower, I think I'll be able to switch the light cycle this week. I previously thought I would have to veg her out for another week or two but it may just end up being a few days to a week extra. The two plants are getting large and are almost ready. I will do a lollipop and partial defoliation sometime early next week. I've decided against taking off a bunch of fan leaves which I usually did using bottled liquid nutrients. Now that I am organic only I will keep the larger fan leaves at the bottom that I usually prune in case my feeding is insufficient. I want those large fan leaves there not only to provide the plant with the mobile nutrients it needs during flower but also to give me an early warning of a possible deficiency. That being said, I will need to get rid of some of them. I will attempt to tuck as many of them I can in hopes of providing enough light to the lower budsites. Most of the lower branches that don't make the top of the canopy will be cut off. The plants have started to smell despite not even being in flower yet with the Lemon Orange smelling the most. The smell is a classic marijauan smell until you get close to the plant and smell its leaves. No joke, it has a strong orangey citrus smell. I got me a disposable SCROG net and put it up on day 40. I want a few days to be able to train the plants under the net, then I will need a few days after lollipop/defoliation for plant recovery before I flip to flower. I expect to flip either middle or late next week. I moved the light up to 24 inches above the canopy to hopefully encourage a little bit more stretch. See you next week!
