Critical Kush

Day 34 -------- Increased EC and change nutrient blend as plant has begun to grow rapidly now Continued LST using bamboo rods Broke 1 of the 8 main stems while training :-( It was not fixable so I had to cut it Increased fertigation frequency to 4x day Day 35 -------- Broke another main stem from LST that wasn't as LS as I thought it was - down to 6 main stems now Center is getting crowded - thinking about some light defoliation there Got some wet spots forming on crowded leaves - keeping humidity high to compensate for heat and keeping VPD low Day 36 ------- Added a CO2 rig to the mix - homebrewing is idle at the moment, so I thought I'd give it a try Day 37 ------- I just had to do it... I trimmed most of the lower fan leaves that were killing airflow and light penetration Hoping to see her get a bit taller now. Chat-GPT agrees with this approach: "Auxin Redistribution: the removal of lower leaves can alter the distribution of auxin, a plant hormone that regulates cell elongation, leading to more stretch in the upper growth." I also found a single APHID !!! Ugh, I hate those bastards. So far, that was the only one I could find but obviously there have to be more. Going to break out the Neem and hopefully head this off before they multiply.
