VERY Happy with the developments, all the while going through some pretty significant changes! I made a BIG and much needed defoliation on the 15th of this month - it opened up the under canopy quite a bit which completed eliminated any watering/visibility issues - it also allowed me to collect over 10 cuts from the GMO which I am VERY happy about! Appreciate all those who commented and suggested for the defoliate. :) Things are starting to get very humid in the tent, and my grow room overall. Not too sure if it is the weather outside (ranging from 50-70 degrees), my room being on the second floor of the house, or the plants just doing their thing but man, it is humid in there! I added the small dehumidifier in between all of the pots to accompany my big overkill $250 dehumidifier that sits in my room where my tent is located now - it almost works too well! I am still in the process of getting this dialed in. I hesitated when making this purchase, but know it will be worth it in the long run. I also added another AC Infinity Oscillating Fan that also accompanies its twin on the opposite side of the tent. My plants look very happy, no signs of anything negative so I think I am heading in the right direction. As far as the changes in the actual plants are concerned, WOW! - This being my first grow, and having been self medicating since my teenage years, this is SUCH a fun time watching them go through their stages, react to their environment and change as they grow. The white pistils appeared the first week of changing the light cycle to 12/12, now they are EVERYWHERE! Each flower/bud site contains multiple while pistils all shooting in the air, some are even crawling up to their buddies on the stem above them! I made sure to get a photo of that - VERY cool! I also was able to get a shot of the top of one of the bud sites with my Magnifier/Light - Crystals are starting to form already! I truly couldn't be happier with their progress, and only look forward to more changes each day. I plan on sticking to my current regiment until the first watering of the 3rd week of flowering - at that time I will be adding an additional 2 tablespoons of Bio Bud to accompany the current 2 tablespoons of Bio Thrive Bloom. They are currently receiving 6 cups of water each every other day. Appreciate all the comments and follows!

Is the structure of the plant at this stage affected by a stunt when they are in the seedling stage? I am curious to know if my plants seem too small or if they are average size - I chose not to defoliate due to them being so short - would appreciate any input here! Thanks

There are many many variables that can determine the size of your plants, genetics, pot size, lighting and so on, they don't look stunted to me and they look healthy and thriving to me...Just keep doing what your doing BUT if you feel as though they're stunted or not as big or want to do more, I would increase the intensity of your light if possible, move it closer but your going to have to make sure your DLI is on point as well, RH and temp..You can download VPD buddy to get your parameters

Very interested to hear everyone's input about this - Do you pH your water to 6 and then add the 2 tablespoons of GO BioThrive Bloom? OR do you add the BioThrive Bloom to your water, mix and then start the pH process?

You want your pH to be set after additives. It’s all about the pH when you input the feed in the medium

Defoliation. Do you all think that I should defoliate below the canopy? I relatively haven't touched them or defoliated for quite a while, and was planning on perhaps leaving them alone, especially now they are in the flowering phase. Would you suggest I defoliate the lower 1/3?

I like how yan402 thinks, however I was told no direct light should touch the floor of your tent/medium or its wasted wattage. always a leaf catching something. the whole process of defoliation is to increase airflow between bud sites to prevent budrot. If you got good airflow and fans penetrating the canopy moving air past everything I would not worry about it. Getting extra light to the lower buds is also good but unless you supplement with under canopy lighting its never gonna be all that even with defoliation. The sun can do some of that. its much more powerful. Good Luck!

Are the tips of my plants looking normal? I had a random comment from someone that I may be going overboard on my nutrients - the very tips of my plants are turning white-ish neon green and I am wondering if this is due to the plants natural process in flower? Can I correct?

Na man I think you’re fine. It is a sign of overfeeding but I see it slightly on almost all my grows in flower. You want to push it right to that threshold of being too much IMO.. just keep an eye for other signs going forward and monitor runoff to be sure.

Good looking plants you got there, now I see them more closely I'm sure they are ripe for a defoliation of fan leafs especially in the middle of plants and bottom.

@Walter_the_Ragamuffin, doing my first run in many years now and having a great fun. Hopefully after harvest will be happy as well. Great day bud ✌️
