I removed a couple fan leaves and immature undergrowth. It's been a couple weeks in flower and no bud sites formed yet. I'm surprised. This strain must have a longer growth cycle over 9 weeks. Or she's just a late bloomer. Her pistils and first small bud sites are coming out after a bit over 2 weeks in flower. It is very bushy and thirsty so I trimmed it. This strain is showing less heat stress than the predecessor under the same light.
I am going to use Mars Hydro's dwc bucket kit for this run. My first run with my homemade dwc had a few flaws that this system basically corrects. Systems great just be sure to set up your buckets before adding the rocks. I can't select my nute line but it's there behind the lines working to supplement plant health.
