What, me, Genius?

Three words describe these past few weeks: Growth, Growth, and Growth! All of the plants have developed multiple branches that are reaching for the sky... as if they're somehow competing with one another. First, nutrition remains dialed in. This past week has seen modest increases in both Terpinator and Rock Resinator supplements. I've also noticed a world of difference in the Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus versus Fox Farm's Bush Doctor label. I've continued to add a small dose of Great White to each of my feedings. Second, this week saw a substantial increase in lighting from the mighty PhotoBio MX. I made the decision to increase the ladies lighting from 60% to 75%. My logic is that the plants are experiencing a growth spurt, so why not give these ladies what they want? And this leads to another significant improvement in my setup... Third, I rerouted the exhaust and ventilation system components to the exterior of the grow tent. I did so because I was literally at the point of running out of space to raise the height of the PhotoBio MX. I did not want to subject the ladies to light burn and I am hesitant to begin super-cropping at this relatively later stage. It was a pain in my rear-end but the results speak for themselves. I've bought at least another foot-and-change of space for these ladies to grow. And, honestly, this will probably be the setup that I continue to use into future grows. Unfortunately, the status quo is somewhat bittersweet as I made the decision to cull my Apricot Oreoz plant. She was a runt; her growth was stunted to the extent that she was not fully flowering in synchrony with her sisters. Further, her growth stopped weeks ago after the other plants shaded her out of available lighting from the mighty PhotoBio MX. Ultimately, her memory will live on through the available space for her surviving sisters to develop horizontal growth. Otherwise, there is nothing else to report. We are confidently moving forward towards further robust growth. Until next week...
