S.A.G.E-T.H.Seeds-Hydroponics

OnTheBack40 Taproot and a couple lateral roots have extended beyond the expanded clay mesh basket and into the hydroponics solution.

OnTheBack40 The plant is coming right along. The roots have extended beyond the mesh basket. I topped above the 3rd node around the middle of the week and the plant is starting to send out laterals off the main. All things are looking good and now that the plant is established in the solution I should start seeing some good growth.

OnTheBack40 I defoliated at the end of the week and started training branches with LST to allow better growth and lighting. This is my first time to grow S.A.G.E. and I'm surprised the plant has got such Indica traits.

OnTheBack40 Plant is very leafy and I remove fan leaves as needed to provide light to tops.

OnTheBack40 I lollipopped the plant and added the four inch net to help spread out the tops. This was the 3rd week of 12/12 lighting and the tops are starting to stretch and flower. This is my first try at growing S.A.G.E. and I have been told to expect a 11 week flowering time. The plant is fairly leafy and I have defoliated the big fan leafs on a weekly basis to allow lighting to the new growth. So far, the plant has been easy to grow and I'm ready to see how it will finish out!

OnTheBack40 Removed some fan leaves mid-week to allow for better airflow and light. Continue to get some stretching and the flowers have started to develop this week.

OnTheBack40 I didn't have a lot of time to spend, pretty much just left her alone to grow this week.

OnTheBack40 A little more stretching this week. I removed a a few of the older fan leaves.

OnTheBack40 Cut back on the nutrients and continued to remove some of the older fan leaves. The plant is maturing slowly and looks like it will make small buds.

OnTheBack40 The older Fan leaves have brown tips. I noticed this starting a few weeks ago. I have lowered the nutrient level to 550 PPM. I am hoping the plants are back on track. The buds are starting to fill out altho I don't believe this plant is going to make super dense buds. Looks like a few more weeks until harvest.
