First little buds began to show this week. I'm continuing with LST, so plants haven't been gaining much in height, just filling out available horizontal space. These plants have much denser foliage than my last grow (Gorilla Glue #4), which is posing some problems with light penetration. Yellowing of bottom leaves continues to be an issue (I believe due to lack of light), but I'm continuing to prune those bottom leaves when they're completely yellow.
Thanks Mrs. Larimar - these plants were a little more fragile with LST than my previous Gorilla Glue grow - my first few attempts all resulted in breaking branches with not much pressure applied. Luckily I managed to save all the branches except for one by immediately tying them up.
It's weird - they've been showing the yellow almost since the beginning. I posted a question on another forum wondering if it was a nitrogen deficiency, but the responses I got were that it seemed to be heat related. The yellowing calmed down for a bit but came back shortly before flipping, and I've noticed recently that most of the yellowing is happening on the side of the tent that gets less direct ventilation. As you say things look healthy up top, so I'm just riding things out for now...
Just caught the end of this grow. Seems the battles you have fought are going to be worth it. Looking forward to the harvest,. Good luck in the final stretch my freind.
