8/16/2023 - Start of week 9 from seed. Reduced light schedule in the whole tent to 18/6 to get some temperature fluctuation, and potentially reduce stress on my photo gals. Light intensity was changed 75% -> 100% to match previous DLI. A lot of the upper buds have sort of "opened up" which I take to be foxtailing. Canopy leaf temps seemed to be fine at ~78DegF, so I moved the lights up further last week and reduced DLI 60 -> 50.
She is still showing signs of nute burn, but I have been keeping EC under control and she has been getting pH'd water for the last few days.
8/18/2023 - The flowers seem to be developing nicely. There is significantly more color to the buds and more hairs turning orange in just the last couple days. Did some more aggressive defoliation towards the center of the plant to open it up for more airflow. It is super dense in there and I still have to cut more out.
Chopping off ripe colas isn't that bad of an idea tbh, never thought about it, but that'd leave the lower popcorn more time to ripen; good thinking! 👊😁
