Week 14: Welp..... Life Happens okay people! I went to Atlanta and had a friend watch the kids.. when I got back I failed to jump into action and the next thing you know right when we get the plants on track... I go to Houston and come back to them even worse than they were when I went to Atlanta. :( In a lot of ways the entire schedule is off - we are at over 3 months of Veg.. had to chop off almost 17 inches of height because we'd let them get too tall for our 6 foot tent.. we've got 6 photos in a 3x3 and have missed many opportunities to feed and LST with the SCROG net just going up this week.. Are there things I want to do different next time? Absolutely.... but the beauty of life is that we grow whether we win or loose. Taking each of these lessons in stride, pushing through the rest of the grow... and planning for improvements next go around. First thing up... Getting an in house RO water filter.. next-up better genetics.. and better planning.. As for now.. bare with us as we push through this back half of the grow!

What would you do to the new tops to avoid them being too much taller than the remaining canopy if you top late (like wk 3)? Connect them to the pot below the topping? above the topping? Chiropractic bend them? I plan to start SCROG in next 2/3wks

if you aren't too far into bloom, it'll be a negative effect. what you cut off won't grow out and it'll only result in lower yield. LST it.. bend it down, even if temporarily until the other stuff catches up. HST is a good option later in blom of they stretch too much into lights and start damaging themselves. so, topping is great as long as there is time for it to grow out. sometimes more branches off the same limb is not teh best option though.. you'll just spread what that limb can provide for way too thinly. if you are using a scrog you should have put it down sooner and this wouldn't be an issue. you just keep bending the branch under "next" square of net. this keeps it even until you fill out aobut 70% of space. at that point if you flip it should fill in the rest easily with the 4+ weeks of growth that remains after flipping to bloom. you still have to do some minor LST to keep it perfectly even if you want to... sometimes it just takes bending a branch down in the morning and the time it takes for it to recover something can catch up uite a bit in that time.. repeat until satisfied... bigger variation may need a multi-day tie-down.. but then can release it later once things even out. so many options, but it shouldn't be a ton of effort or work.. if so, change behaviour.

I've only fed using Gaia Green 4-4-4 once to date and notice no deficiencies. Should I re-feed fully with Gaia Green 4-4-4 in two weeks or add some of the power bloom during that feed? Would you reccomend adding any other nutrients to my grow?

I would not switch to power bloom on its own, mix it with a bit of all purpose as the N content of power bloom is to low. I also find gaia green needs some extra Mg, if they have not shown signs already. I also would only flip nutrients after the stretch. but can add in a nice PK booster when light cycle switches for a onetime boost Good Luck!
