11/26 Day 47 of flower. Growth has been tremendous the past 2 weeks. I couldn’t be more happy with the quality of the grow, especially since I was worried with the herm on the right. No signs of pollination and I haven’t seen any more pollen sacks in weeks. The only remaining issue is the reoccurring theme of powdery mildew. It hasn’t been spreading much but it is still there. So far though I have no concerns with it affecting the grow, it’s only on a few fan leaves here and there.
11/28 Day 49 of flower. Poking around a bit more today I found a lot more powdery mildew than I expected to see. I decided to take some drastic action and defoliated every affected leaf I could find which really opened up some light penetration. Whether this was a good idea or not I’m not sure, but the buds all seem free from mildew so I’ll see how growth continues for now.
Just wanted to say good luck! I am also in the grow off. I am fairly new to growing so pretty confident that I won’t place in the competition but it is so much fun to see what everyone else does. So once again good luck and I hope to see you at the finish line.
@tteague75, that's awesome man. I'm sure I won't place either since both of these girls will be pretty small and won't have as much eye candy. Also we are up against some really top notch growers. But in the end it's a nice twist to the usual process. Gonna be tons of fun seeing how it all ends up.
