More Big changes this week! The flowers seem to be growing and getting bigger every day - I anxiously look in my tent each morning to see the new developments and there seems to be new changes each time - very cool to smoke a bowl in the morning and go check your garden! I was able to get some pretty cool photos with my macro lens - I found the ONLY flower site and first signs of red colors on one of the lower flowers of Cherry Gorilla #3 - I was able to get some pretty sweet pics of that. If you have a smart phone or tablet, definitely check out some of the macro shots and pinch/zoom in! I did add a fan on the bottom blowing underneath the canopy, in efforts of opening up the stomata of the ladies. We are finally having our first relatively hot week up here and it has absolutely tested my environment management skills - AC, Dehumidifier, Fans, Window open and close - this silly temp VPD and humidity control dance all day will not be too much longer, very much looking forward to the lower temperatures of the fall and winter months! When opening up the tent - you are blasted with a unfamiliar smell that can be explained as a sweet dank. I have touched some of the lower buds on each of the plants and WOW! - They are SWEET and Cherry flavor like crazy - The GMO is just as I expected - Garlic Gas Sweetness when touching her leaves - You are left with a very sticky goo on your finger that absolutely smells of its particular strain. Again - I could not be happier with the garden, and especially this being my first grow ever. Looking forward to more changes and absolutely some input from the Grow Diaries Community!

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
Solved

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.
