Buds are starting to take shape, and the first frosting of resin is starting to show up on the sugar leaves. It doesn't really show in the pictures, but the buds are stacking nicely along the length of each cola. Environmental conditions are holding steady, with temperatures dropping slightly in the tent as the days get shorter.
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.
